    Exhaust Flex Tube

    I'm looking for a section of 4" flex tube but the shortest section I can find is 7.5" long.. I don't have enough room anywhere on my downpipe to fit a piece that long.. Do any of you know where I could find a 4"x4"ish section of flex tube? It probably doesn't even need to be 4" long... I'm...

    WTB 50mm wastegate

    So my little Turbonetics DeltaGate Mark II(31.75mm) is not cutting it. Its not bypassing enough air to control my boost at the levels I want. Doing some searching it appears that I can get a nice(brand: turbonetics, tial, turbosmart) 50mm wastegate complete with flanges, gaskets, spings, etc...

    Stretched hood latch cable

    Short of replacing it how do you guys fix your hood latch cable when it stretches out? I did this but I hate it: Does anyone know if its possible to put a new end on the cable? Are they just crimped in place or are they soldered or something?

    WTB - Injector Harness

    All I really need is the 3-wire connector(with a couple inches of wire to splice into) that plugs into the wiring harness. So the part I need would plug into this: My guess is that this is not sy/ty specific so if you have any old GM injector harness laying around you probably have what I...

    Can someone post of picture of where the knock sensor mounts?

    I need to drill/tap my SBC as they don't have that port. I just want to make sure that I pick a similar spot to where its at on the 4.3.. My other, more typical, spots to mount a knock sensor are blocked by other parts. Thanks, -Matt

    Thank you Adam(sy381)!!!

    Adam(sy381) came across one hell of a deal on 4 2-post Challenger lifts and he was kind enough to give me a call and offer one up at his cost. We drove out to Huntington today and picked it up. Its in good shape and definitely a very rugged lift that will serve my needs well. I didn't have my...

    Newer style electrical cruise control

    Has anyone ever adapted the newer(non vacuum) cruise control unit from a 96-05 blazer/jimmy to one of our trucks.. I'm interested in doing it as it mounts on the firewall, eliminates the vacuum unit, and looks much cleaner overall.. I've found wiring diagrams for our trucks but I haven't been...

    In Dash LCD

    Has anyone ever put a LCD display here: Seems to me that there would be enough room to fit a 10.4" touchscreen and even recess it a little to keep it out of the sunlight... I don't mind removing/relocating the vents, window popper, cigarette lighter, and anything else that may be in the...
