    NA regal swap questions

    Hello, I'm helping a friend whose 84 t-type is rusted beyond repair drop it into a nice 86 regal with a 307. The hotair car has a digital dash, the donor car has analog. We'd like to keep the analog dash in the car. My main question is, can we just swap the engine bay harness (from fuse block...

    front cover seal/balancer question

    I was wondering if anyone else had problems running a newer neoprene style seal on the stock balancer. Mine seems to chew up seals, and I tend to think that the grooves on the stock balancer that were designed to work with a rope seal are the culprits. Has anyone tried putting a wear sleeve on...

    harmonic balancer size

    I am currently a long way from my buick, could anyone possibly measure with calipers the diameter of the balancer where the oil seal runs? This would be a big help. TIA

    baldwin vs. hastings filters

    Anyone tried Hastings oil filters? Hastings and Baldwin have the same address in Kearney, NE. Just wondered if Baldwin was the heavier duty line or if there was no difference.

    Harmonic balancer/ front cover dimensions

    Does anyone know the outer diameter of the stock harmonic balancer where the front crank seal rides? I don't currently have access to mine. I also need the inner diameter of the front cover where the seal is installed. If anyone knows either of these dimensions or could measure/mic them, the...

    valve float

    Ok, I've been having a leaning out problem on top end, but the car now seems to be holding fuel pressure now, yet still cutting right out. The thing is, it still seems lean but i wonder if this is compounded with another (valvetrain??) problem. Reason being because if slowly depress the pedal...

    Is it possible to make this a sticky??

    John Spina already posted this in general tech, but I just wanted everyone to see it, some of these diagrams I have never seen but they are great. There is even one diagram of behind the dash wiring: http://www.casperselectronics.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=224

    poston fuel pump problem!

    My car has been leaning out pretty bad, like 730mv on 15psi! I am running a poston fuel pump which is apparently a modded syclone pump, and is essentially new. I also run 37lbers and fp of 47 line off (new accufab). I had tried a bit lower pressure ~45 with the same end result. My translator...

    leaking hydroboost

    My hydroboost system is leaking between the master cylinder and the booster section. I was looking through the manual and it says that the cause is probably a bad seal on the power piston. Are the seals/gaskets available as part of a kit or do i have to replace the booster section or master...

    Cam sensor advancement

    I was reading an article on gnttype that said sometimes sputtering or popping with larger cams can be helped by advancing the cam sensor a couple of degrees. It also listed the lengths of tape you put on the balancer to get varying degrees of timing. Since default is 25 deg ATDC, would 24...

    Calling all fishermen

    Hey do we have any fishermen on this board? If so what do you fish for and where do you do it? I personally freshwater fish in the Racquette and St. Lawrence rivers, for bass, pike, walleye, and the occasional elusive muskie. The racquette is right in my backyard, so fishing here is kind...

    couple wheel cylinder questions

    I have read every s-10 wheel cylinder thread I could find, but I have yet to see a definitive answer: is it an '85 with manual brakes, or manual transmission? I need to know what to tell the often clueless parts counter kids. I will probably get them at NAPA. Also, do the wheel cylinders...

    another shifter cable thread

    I ordered a GM shifter cable, part number 25537476 which I got from this site, and it seems to be a few inches too long, which makes it bind and I can't put the car all the way down into first. Is that the actual part number or is there a shorter version made? thanks in advance.

    motor dogs when electric fan kicks on at idle

    When idling warm, the electric fan kicks on and causes the motor to dog a bit, it doesn't stall but the rpm drop is noticeable. I am not exactly sure what the fan came off (some gm car), but i used the fan kit from casper's. I am getting a solid 14volts from the alternator which is brand new...
