Wow! Small world man. Heck yeah throw your old rad in the trunk and bring it along. They are located at 383 child St. It's right in the city off of I490. Talk to Brett or steve. My name is Nate, tell em you are a friend of mine they'll hook you up:)

They are located in Rochester ny. Not sure what the prices would be like but I know that they are accustomed to shipping anywhere. Im sure alradco has a great product too. Im just throwing this out there for anyone that wants a cold way of staying with their stock parts. This company also...

I also re cored my factory radiator. I was able to squeeze in a 4 row core. One of the benefits of working in a radiator shop years ago do I didn't have to pay labor. The company is still in business today. Great people. I could pass along their info if anyone is interested...... oh yeah the car...

Swapping mine out soon. Thanks for the heads up..... I'll be sure to have extra beers handy! :D

What a great story mike! Brought back some great memories. I remember my dad cutting off the little clickers between the body and the wheel cause i never stopped riding and he couldnt sleep. All the kids in the neighborhood would compete and race all day long.... that's where it all started;)

Great story man! Congrats. It's awesome the whole family is behind you. I'm just now trying to bring mine back to life after many years parked and the best part is all of my kids love hanging out in the garage trying to get dirty helping dad work on the "race car" Enjoy!

What a great idea for a thread! Love it. Sooooo many cool rides(y) I'm partial to the monte and the other tbs but hey must be a "g" thing. All I have some is rotties usually chillin around my garage next to the gn getting hair everywhere and chewing up my stuff:mad: but I wouldn't trade em for...

WOW! Totally sick paint job(y) can't begin to imagine the hrs spent on the whole project. I really like the blacked out lights and they still shine bright when on in that one pic or is that before tinting? my car hasn't seen the road since all we had was tinted plastic covers. Couldn't see shiz...

I'll follow along..... I'm still back and fourth about a fuel gauge. I know I need to monitor pressure but the whole fire while driving is no joke. Electronic may be my choice now too

Thanks. I did some investigating after work tonight. Found two tabs on either side of the back of the baffle that slip into slots in the metal baffle. Seems to be holding in place but looks like a third one up high.... can't quite see. Going to get some kind of tiny mirror on a stick rig to look...

I had the tank flushed out while getting ready to install my new fuel pump. Now it seems like the plastic baffle is moving all over :eek: What was holding it in place from factory? Can it be re set? Tank seems in good enough shape otherwise. Would hate to have to buy a new one but want things...

Thanks everyone for the great tips:) It helps a bunch. I'll keep it all in mind as I move forward.

I'm going through my 86 gn. It's been sitting for seven years. Along with spring cleaning I pulled the radiator, ic, and gas tank to clean and flush. My thoughts are.... Put on a duttweiler neck while the ic is out. Also upgrade the fuel pump while tank is off. Was liking what everyone says...

Thanks a lot mike! That's some great advise to get me started. I'll check out that link first chance I get. I'm in western ny. Unfortunately we only get a few good months to enjoy our rides. Positive side is the winter gives us plenty of time to work on em:D

Hello everyone! Names Nate. So excited to join. I've been watching this great site for a couple weeks now and already learned a ton. Lil history..... I bought a 86 gn back when I was 19. It was my pride and joy for many years. Things changed when I met my wife and then the kids came along...
