Car is sold Thank you all for the interest. I sold the car to a friend of my son.

Not since I replaced all the weather stripping.

Andy82 - It's a t-top car. When it was painted, I had all the rusted areas sandblasted and repaired, and all new rubber seals installed. Car also has the rear seat braces.

I am selling my GN, with the mods listed in my sig. The engine has about $10k in it, but has developed a rattling sound when you hold it at a steady rpm and give it a little gas (like around 1500). The guy who built it told me he thought it might be a piston. We blew a head gasket about a year...

I was taught that when the car is running, and you disconnect one of the battery cables and it dies, then it's the alternator. If it stays running, it's probably the battery. The car will stay running on the alternator. Sounds like your alternator is not working for some reason. When you say...

You're absolutely right. I was thinking boost=pressure, but it is when the throttle blade shuts, trapping the boost.

How important is this sensor? I had mine plugged into my K&N air filter in the hole provided. Everytime I get into the boost, it pops out. I really didn't notice any difference in the way the car ran. I was just wondering what the function is of this sensor and how does it or can it affect how...

Wanted to give a tip on charging the Optima batteries. Maybe everyone already knows this, but I wasn't told when I bought mine. I have an Optima Red Top. I found out the hard way that you cannot perform a "quick charge" on these batteries. They require a "deep cycle charge", which I guess is...

What a great name! I don't see how they ever thought of that! That is really neat!

My dad is almost 91 and still drives. He only drives in the daytime and goes to the grocery store and to see his wife in the nursing home. I'm sorry, but I don't agree with the mandatory testing of a certain age group. For every elderly person who is involved in accidents or near-misses, I can...

I talked with the pastor of Second Baptist Church in Clarksville, Arkansas tonight and he told me that he just saw a Grand National there. He said it looked like it had white or yellow lettered tires, like a Nascar rig. He was pastor at a church here in Baytown where I led the music, and he knew...

Great job! I bet it sure smells good in there with all that fresh wood. Sounds like you're really doing it right, too. I love woodworking!

Very cool race and good comparison, too. I had a similar incident happen about 1980. I had a '57 Chevrolet 2 door hardtop. I was driving about 10pm on a divided highway (2 lanes each way). I hit a red light, and lo and behold, another '57 2 door hardtop pulls up beside me. There was nobody else...

I bet it was him, because he turned into a residential area off 321. I just got a quick look, but didn't see any GN emblems on it. It looked really nice, though.

Anyone on this board with a TR (black with aftermarket rims) in Dayton, Texas today around 3pm? I saw one coming out of the Dayton High School parking lot on Highway 321 as I was passing through. I couldn't see it too well. It was a few cars ahead and turned left just after the high school.
