Hi, I really don't want to disturb the metal fender as it is all aligned. I don't even care about that part of the harness as I am doing a LS swap and will never go back. I only need part of the wiring harness like the starter and charging circuits which go through the bulkhead on the...

Hi All, My newest project is a 1987 Buick Grand National with an CA emissions-legal GMPP Connect & Cruise E-Rod LSA kit stuffed into it: I bought the car in July for the straight body & frame and it suffered a tranny blowout on the drive home (after a 1 hour test drive and 2 hours on the...

I tested my compression today, cranked about 4 seconds per cylinder. Results were pretty consistent in a range from 92 to 112. Exact numbers were 92, 93, 97, 100, 100, 112. This is an 87 GN, around 124,000 miles. How do these numbers compare to a newly rebuilt and broken-in motor? Thanks...

Looking for knowlegdeable and honest. Thanks, Jim

I was driving the car home from purchasing it, after a lengthy checkout and test drive. About 1 hour and 15minutes of no problems, it started running rough, like it was loaded up. I stopped at the first good spot and smoke was coming from the front of the cat, like burning oil. I had checked...

I have a new-in-box set of these nice double adjustables: I have decided to go to rear coilovers, so I am selling these. They've never been installed. They are going on Allston's site for $578 (cachassisworks.com): VariShock Bolt-In - Closed Crossbar, 1/2" Cantilever Pin - Double...

I planned to use this to control my two stages of nitrous but ended up buying the Holley Dominator EFI setup which will perform the same function, so I don't need this. It is new in the box and is going for $589.95 at Summit. Includes all wiring. Instructions can be viewed here...

I paid $1200 for this FMIC custom from Spearco: Core Dimensions are (oriented as shown in picture but could be mounted any direction, probably with the in/outlets pointed down for a Turbo Buick): 18"Wide X 12"Tall X 3"Deep. The end tanks add 3.25" to the height on each side, and have a...

Hi All, These are the OZ Racing (sold under the Fittipaldi brand) wheels I had on my G-body before I went to 17's to clear the monster 6-piston Wilwoods: The rear tires have some life left in them, maybe a season, and the fronts are 3/4 tread or more. Comes with these billet Vette...

I'm curious whether most of you are running pure meth or some type of blend. A number of people on ls1tech.com are running Ford's windshield washer fluid which is (reported to be, I haven't checked) 60% meth, with the rest water and probably a tiny amount of mild surfectants (soap). If...

I ran into a low-key Neon on 280 tonight - no wing, no badges, but he had 3 glowing gauges on his A-pillar. I looked for the twin pipes of the SRT-4, but he had one big one on the left. I gave him a rev, then he gave me a thumbs up. We waited a little for a clear road, then I hammered it. I...

We had a couple short runs, from maybe 25-75mph. 1st one, he got the jump, he squirted 1 car ahead, but I reeled him in pretty quickly, got 1 car ahead, then it was time to hit the brakes. We talked for a couple seconds at the light - I told him he had a beautiful car. He was pretty cool but...

I checked out the scene at the Capitol & Tully In 'N Out tonight, in San Jose, CA. Even though it was only 10:30, there were about 30 decent cars there. Plus 2 cruisers, so don't even give a rev in the lot or they will roll on you. Found a Lightning with a cool owner, George, who said he...

Red C6, with visible exhaust mods, rolls up on me on 101 South. I give him a rev cuz I'm ready to try my stuff after 700 break-in miles and the fixing of about 5 major bugs. The two young guys (20's) give me a rev back, then just smirk at me, but hang out to get a clear space to run with me...

This little gem just happened. You might think I would know better than to jury-rig crap like this: I'm breaking in my 81 Malibu motor - it's got maybe 125 miles on it. I hooked up a cheapo mechanical oil pressure gauge (with the small, white nylon oil line) just to have a reading until...

I'm looking for a local group to hang or cruise with. Any contacts in the area? Thanks, Jim

The time: 1996, about midnight, Saturday night... The place: Santa Clara, CA... Great America Pkwy. near 237, before they added the Palm exit/entrances. My Car: My sleeper, the 81 Malibu 4DR Sedan. At that time I had just put the 375HP Sallee-Chevrolet ZZ3 in the car, with a QuadraJet and 1...
