Carbon poly dist gear Carbon poly dist gear I guess you guys are talking about the v-6's, don't know why they would be any different, both of my hydraulic rollers are in big block chevys and yes the cam manufacturer told me they both needed bronze gears, I didn't argue. As far as my ty goes...

Intercoolers Don't worry too much, I am sure as soon as you get ahold of him he will make it right. I have bought several things from him and he has always done me right, when I had a small problem he straightened it out. Yes he is busy so sometimes you have to leave messages but he has...

Carbon poly dist gear Carbon poly dist gear If I remember correctly mine set me back about $120 which is 4 times as much as the cheaper brass gear. And if you run a roller which I have 2 hydraulic rollers in 2 different cars of mine, you have to have the brass gear or the nylon. The camshaft...

Carbon poly dist gear Carbon poly dist gear Yep, I have had one in my chevelle for a while now. Seems to work fine so far. If it makes you feel any better, Nascar has been using them for years so I figure they have proven themselves somewhat. Larry.

Anybody deal with Mike at Race Proven Motors Anybody deal with Mike at Race Proven Motors I have bought quite a few items from Mike, no problems. Always get my stuff and he has always been straight up with me. I have even talked to him for quite a while on the tech line with questions, super...

New Goat (GTO) Hey Sigo, didn't mean to insult you. Everyone has there own opinion on the new goat, for me, I think it's a shame that pontiac couldn't build it on there own, they had to take a car over seas and then stick a badge on it. It does nothing for me, although I do like the motor...

New Goat (GTO) Sorry my ty 1993, I just noticed the uploader thingy you stuck up there. I will have to have my wife check that out for me since I am not a computer person to say the least. I guess that allows me to somehow stick pictures up here? Thanks a bunch, Larry.

New Goat (GTO) Okay, I am leaving to go to a cruise inn, Friday night ritual for me. I will pull it outside tomorrow and take a couple quick pics and throw in some of the other junk too, I will send them to your e-mail address if thats okay, Take it easy, Larry.

New Goat (GTO) Hey GM Turbo, sorry didn't see your reply, are you kidding about that? I really do have a 406 in it. I ran several 350's in it for years, decided to do a 400 this time around. It made 437 hp on engine dyno, put a muncie behind it with a 3.23 gear, (it's a driver) would have...

New Goat (GTO) Thanks My TY 1993, I forgot about the turbo T/A, I like those too. I guess there are a few cars from the 80's I like, of course I like the syty's too, but I just can't get enough of my old muscle cars, drive them any chance I get. It's funny, every time I stop at a gas...

New Goat (GTO) Hey GM Turbo, there are still a few of us die hards out here. I work on my own stuff, rebuild my own motors, trans, rearends, I won't let anyone turn a wrench on anything I have. I wash my own cars in my driveway, even in the middle of winter. As a matter of fact, since there...

need some help on this (pic included) need some help on this (pic included) First grab the yoke and try to move it up and down and side to side to make sure the seal didn't fail due to a pinion bearing failure. If it's tight then man thats an easy fix, the seal only runs about 3 bucks...

New Goat (GTO) I haven't been real fond of the new goats, I think they look like an overgrown toyota and blend in with all the other foreign stuff running around. We have been calling them Dingo goats since they are from Australia. My father has a 69 goat he bought new and still has it...

posi unit or not? posi unit or not? Yes, just as everyone has touched on already, all syty's came with a locking rear differential, I believe gm called it a gov lock, one wheel has to spin before the other will start. They are pretty weak and will not take much abuse by themselves, 100% of...

Check out this spark plug Check out this spark plug Well it could be a simple valve seal but if the motor has some miles on it, maybe 70,000 or more, it would more likely be a worn valve guide in the head, or possibly blow by past the piston. Have to do a leak down test to see exactly where...

El Symino? Sy Camino? El Barfo? So Whats the big deal? It can be easily removed, I don't think it is any worse than what some other people are doing to these things. Larry.

4L80 Hello Ed, thanks for the response, although I am not looking to do the swap in mine, I am always curious at what other people are doing with these trucks and the thought of a 400 turbo interested me. I have 4 other cars in my garage that run the 400 (factory installed) and I feel it is a...

4L80 Why would anyone not be willing to give out info like that. Not like it's top secret stuff. What a shame. I thought everyone was on this board to help people, very few of these trucks around and even fewer that know anything about them. I am guessing that the output shaft is modified to...

4L80 Good question, not sure why it has not come up sooner. I mean with every one going to 400 turbos in the really fast trucks, why not the 4L80E and retain the overdrive. I think if I was going to swap trannys I would definately look into the 4L80E and do what ever I had to do to make it...

Insurance for syty? Insurance for syty? I use Grundy for all of my collector cars and they have no mileage limitation at all. I tried Hagerty but they were a joke, only allowed 2,000 miles a year. I have my big block chevelle, formula firebird, pickup, nomad, and the Typhoon all insured...
