    Scored another 80e

    I'm pretty sure that my current 80e has some pump noise so I've been looking for another. Found this one on CL.. Its supposed to be in good working order. The guy I bought it from claims that it was in a 3500 van that drove and shifted fine.. He wasn't sure of the mileage though.. I got this...

    Cold Air Intake

    For some time I've been wanting to put my air filter down behind the fog light so that it would suck in cool air as opposed to hot air from the engine compartment. I didn't want to just put a naked filter down there and have it be exposed to everything that slings off the front tire so I was...

    FPR o-ring

    Can anyone explain to me why this continues to happen: I'm using a stock sy/ty fuel return line that I convert over to rubber then connect back to the stock return line under the drivers door. I've replaced this o-ring multiple times and it keeps going bad and leaking.. I thought maybe...

    I lost 4lbs and don't know why!

    Unfortunately I'm talking about boost and not weight. I recently removed and re-installed my fenders so that I could paint them. While the fenders were off I also added a torque strap to my engine. I have to run these funky offset motor mounts for the V8 and I was afraid that they may bend or...

    Vent in fenders/cladding

    I'm in the process of body-working my fiberglass fenders and I'm throwing around the idea of cutting this area out and making a duct up to the top of the fender. My thoughts are that this is an area of strong negative pressure it it will suck (hot)air from the engine compartment out of this...

    Re-clear coating stock rimsg- DIY

    I decided to take a stab at re-clearing my stock rims and I'm quite happy with how they are turning out. I thought I'd share the process I followed in case anyone else is interested in doing it.. I started by cleaning the back side of the rims. I used wire brushes followed up with some paint...

    AutoTune Code59 and TunerPro 5

    I'm not sure how many of you guys are still using Code59 but I am and I got really tired of manually reviewing logs and trying to update my F29x table based off of AFR correction averages. I am only familiar with basic Excel functions. I knew I stood no chance of fixing the old AutoTune...

    Modify Front Bumper for IC Airflow

    I'm thinking about doing this.. Wondering what you guys think about how it would look... The idea is to open the front bumper up some to allow better air flow through the intercooler.. My photoshop skills aren't the best. In real life the cut-out would have recessed sides like the fog light...

    Naked Truck Measurements

    I knew if I put naked in the subject that everyone would look. Anyway, I'm getting ready to hang my door cladding but I need someone to take some accurate measurements for me of where I need to place these discs that get riveted to the door. I looked at the supplement manual and GM used a...

    Sonax Short Shift Shaft

    Has anyone ever installed on of these: It looks like you have to remove the valve body to get this stupid little pin out: I'm just wondering if there is another way to go about this(other than cutting and welding the shaft).. I picked up this tranny used and was told that it worked well...

    Bridgestone Potenza re940

    This is a bit of a shot in the dark but I have two of these tires in nearly perfect shape and I was hoping to find two more to make a complete set.. I bought two rims(front) and tires from a member(Angel) several years ago and the rims came with these tires on them. Someone else on the board...

    Have you ever wondered what it takes to make a mold?

    So I'm on a mission to have my 4-door cladding done before NATs. In lieu of trying to cut up and glue together stock cladding I've decided to make open face fiberglass molds of a stock cladding set. I will then be able to make fiberglass reproductions of the parts, cut those up, and re-glass...

    FS: Cat delete test pipe $35 + shipping OBO

    This will fit in place of the stock cat conv. You will need to get a 2.5" exhuast doughnut from NAPA for the back to make it all seal up nice.. I'm quite sure its just aluminized pipe and the plate is just mild steel. Its been sitting in my parents barn since I sold my Ty 8 or 9 years ago...

    SOLD - FS or trade: MSD Flying Magnet Crank Trigger

    I don't think that the V6 version of these are made anymore. This wheel has 3 magnets and is specifically made for a 6 cylinder engine. I'm an in need of one of these with 4 magnets setup for a SBC. If anyone has an eight cylinder version and would like to trade that would be perfect. I...

    Check it out and let me know what you think.. Within TunerPro You have to choose: Acquisition -> Export Log File. Just leave the defaults alone and save the file.. Next you need to find the # of the first sample of your 1/4 mile run.. I'm not sure if there is a way to do this in TunerPro or...

    Water Pump Question

    So my pump is leaking from that hole in the picture there.. Does that mean the pump is shot? If so does anyone know if I can take it apart and just replace the seal? The shaft is nice and tight with no play...
