    Is it time to change oil viscosity?

    I love these oil threads! I know what I use, Many others know what they use and then there are the "what do I use" guys. It is oil and an engine definitely NEEDS it to keep spinning. Next up! oil filters! hahaha

    Happy Independence Day

    I have the MEAT, but it is raining so grilling will have to wait. I hope everyone is having a GREAT 4th of July! We hit the parade this am and the local fireworks were last night so that is handled. The grand daughter is going to her dad's so it was great to see her at the parade this am if...

    Stock chip with LT1/translator

    It doesn't care, but you are way better off with a newer chip that takes into account the newer fuels and such.

    Oil filter not filling up

    Before you get too far into this do you have a gauge, or are we just going by the "idiot light"? The sender could have gotten stuck. It is possible you lost prime but with the age of this stuff that sender could be the culprit. If it is stock, it is down on the lower pass side front of the block...

    Knock knock......

    You are playing with fire on that original fuel pump. New pump and a hot wire at the minimum or you will be going deeper into the engine sooner then later.

    Oil filter not filling up

    for the amount of time it takes to fill an oil filter vs the damage no oil to the engine might do, I'll take the prefill every time . Even if it only takes "seconds" for an oil filter to fill and supply those galleys and bearings I'll prefill and cut that time down every time. OG here too. i'm...

    New aftermarket MAF not working, likely or not?

    I like to get newer style oem from the wrecking yard and use the translator with these newer style maf units. I've yet to get a usable replacement maf of any brand to work. Not sure why they are so hard to calibrate or what the issue is but they just don't work for some reason or other.

    87 GN AC Where to begin

    I had good luck with the redtek stuff and a "used" compressor. Compressor could be leaking, any of the connections could be leaking, even the hoses could be leaking. Some dye and a light to "look" for the leaks might be in order. Sadly, trial and error is the way here unless you want to do the...

    2004r help- backed out went for 10 min drive round block, came back rev not working.

    SO... fluid is full now. and with tv hooked up at idle what is the pressure? with unhooked and a full pull it only comes up to 150 psi, do I have that right? What about tv unhooked, some revs(maybe 1000-1500rpm) and full pull of tv cable, what are we getting there?

    A little advice please

    https://www.turbobuickperformance.com/245mm-3021-torque-converter-p-121.html?osCsid=glelbeo6ppq3dpfle5j57951j5 not sure what you want to spend but since you were off into the heads and roller cam a trans freshen up and converter from me husek would be a wise place to start.

    A little advice please

    If I were keeping it non intercooled I'd be looking at spraying a bunch of alcohol into it to "intercool" it with chemistry. Unless you are having some kind of cam issue that isn't going to get you much if anything over a stock bumpstick. I didn't do any math but I doubt the 90# injectors are...
