I'll be there, either by myself or with my wife and little girl. Darrell Jackson

Will this be on Saturday or Sunday? I'd like to make it there, only live about 10 miles from 42/40, it's just arranging plans around my wife's plans for that weekend. Would be alot easier than going all the way to Hickory. Darrell Jackson '87 GN

I could possibly make it if it was during the 2nd weekend in April. 1st weekend I'm on call for my job and at that time of the month it is usually rather busy. Darrell Jackson '87 GN

I've got one. It's all stock except adjustable wastegate actuator. Darrell

It would be nice to have one in the Triangle or surrounding areas. The state is too broad to have just one specific club. Darrell Jackson '87 GN

If the MAF turns out to be okay, check out the the intercooler hoses if your car is intercooled. I've had this happen to me before when checking the condition of the hoses, tightening the clamps back up (not tight enough), and taking the car out for a test run---- kicked back at about 25 MPH and...

Thanks, my '87 is all stock except for an adjustable waste gate actuator. I see TRs every now and then when on my way home from work, but never when I'm driving mine--- only put about 3k miles a year on it. Darrell Jackson '87 GN

A cheaper alternative is to use a logic probe. They usually have 2 settings--- TTL/CMOS. In this case you would CMOS---- used for circuitry up to 15 VDC. The TTL is used for 5VDC circuits. Just use a service manual to find the various points where you can see the return signal from either the...

Been a while since I had powermaster problems, but it sounds like it could possibly be the accumulator losing pressure or the pressure switch. Go to the GNTTYPE website, they have a comprehensive checkout procedure for the powermaster. Darrell Jackson

The switch is normally closed when the brake pedal is in the upright (no brake condition). When the pedal is pressed the switch opens due to the plunger not being activated. The vacuum line attached to the switch is for a vacuum dump valve that releases the vacuum in the servo (Cruise control...

Go ahead with the checkout of the switch then for them both. The bottom one for the brake lights is the one I think that passes the signal to the TCC.

Normally with a plunger type switch all you have to do is adjust it enough until you are able to read Zero OHMS across the 2 terminals on the switch with the plunger pressed in. To see the terminal just unplug the large electrical connection to the switch and attach the 2 meter leads of an...

The bottom one is for the brake lights, the top one for Cruise. All you have to do is adjust them until the plunger on the end is against the back of the brake pedal and it is pressed in (the plunger). Then make sure to measure across the terminals where the electrical connector plugs in to make...

Yeah, I remember this one I have when it only had 15 miles on it and my brother got it new it off the lot in Laurinburg, NC in '87. He used to whip the MC SS I had and also my big block (454) '69 El Camino (had no traction at all when lining up at a dead stop). So, I told him if he ever decided...
