    1987 60/40 power seat gear or unit

    A friend says he has one. I am going over tonite to check if it is correct. I will post further either way. THANKS for the response! TIMINATOR

    1987 60/40 power seat gear or unit

    I bought a new seat transmission housing, my housing was disintegrated in a bazillion pieces. Apparently I am missing the drive gear that attaches to the coupler (I bought the coupler too). Anybody know where to get one? TIMINATOR

    Power plate install question

    Use studs or longer bolts in all locations, the factory plenum bolts tend to strip out even without the plate. TIMINATOR

    rear differential fluid change

    Until you need to take it apart! TIMINATOR

    rear differential fluid change

    Keep in mind that the slipprey, low friction, gear oils that promise "more HP to the rear wheels" also diminish the effectiveness of the posi clutches, as do the "anti chatter" posi additives. Lo friction of the gears and bearings, is also lo friction on the posi plates. Exactly opposite of what...

    Cold Case Radiator Top Plate

    Update on my Cold Case radiator! I'm still in the finishing up phase on my Turbo T Limited and now have about 100 miles on it. I came out and found a 6 foot puddle of green under the car. It is naturally the center tube (3 cores) and the radiator shop says the only way to "fix" it is to recore...

    Engine, backfiring and sputtering while using cruise control

    Vacuum leak in the cruise diaphragm? It changes position when it's holding the throttle open and doesn't have vacuum on it unless activated. TIMINATOR

    Hypothetical question about running a blow through setup (carbed intake) but retaining cam sensor/coils

    Use an aftermarket aluminum intake, not the stock one..... TIMINATOR

    engine noise

    I'd like to see a Cruz passenger side header if someone can post up a pic. TIMINATOR

    engine noise

    Add T/A race headers to your buy list. NOT street headers. Detail collector on drivers side and detail pass side welds and where tubes come into common tube. Sometimes the pass side tubes stick into the common tube as much as 3/8". Other than that they are beautiful! I made a heat deflector...

    Head Porting do's and don'ts

    I use T/A race headers as the pass side street header is poop. and not much better than the stock one and has the same serious imbalance on cyl. #6. I also port the transitions and welds too. More difference than porting and the race headers also raise the convertor stall a bit too. TIMINATOR

    Head Porting do's and don'ts

    For an experienced porter, yes. You may hurt the flow or cause the guide boss to eventually crack, or both. You might want to price and check availability before you make up your mind. TIMINATOR

    Head Porting do's and don'ts

    A multi angle valvejob by a GOOD shop makes as much or more power as a GOOD backyard port job when used with a stock cam. Below about .200" lift, the flow has almost nothing to do with the port, its all about the valvejob (number of angles, angles themselves, valve underhead shape, back cuts, if...

    picked up a rough 87 Grand National - how to approach project?

    I wish!!!!! Bought it for about double that in 2019. It had fresh body and paint, freshly tinted windows, good tires, near new turbo, fresh engine (by what turned out to be a "lesser grade" machineshop, and kicked out both headgaskets within 12 miles!) functioning A/C, new aluminum radiator...

    picked up a rough 87 Grand National - how to approach project?

    Sell it to someone you are mad at or part it out, and find another project car closer to your end goal. These cars contain so many rare, unavailable, and specialized parts that you don't have and I would guess you can't afford or you wouldn't have bought this car, hopefully inexpensively. Its...
