    New Magnaflow SS Catback installed (w/ pics)

    My system FINALLY arrived last night OCT 6 after Magnaflow went back on their 9/18 shipping date. Since I got home late last night and didn't have a lot of time to do a thorough inspection, I opened the box and unwrapped one muffler. Both tips have a significant amount of weld splatter on the...

    Thanks for all the advice. I'll give it a shot when my new system arrives. It always helps when you hear from those who have done it before you...the beauty of these forums.

    New Magnaflow SS Catback installed (w/ pics)

    Looking at your pictures, it appears you have removed your spare tire tub. Do the Magnaflow pipes restrict access to the spare tire? I'm thinking seriously of buying a set, but not if it means I can't carry a spare tire. Thanks.

    93 rear brake pads replace/parking brake

    Searched the forums but didn't see how to do this anywhere. No problems doing the front pads, but.... I'm trying to replace the rear pads on my 93 w/auto transmission. The FSM says to disable the automatic adjuster on the parking brake before removing the caliper to replace the pads. I...

    fuel reserve????

    My experience echos those already mentioned. Had the reserve light on and the computer "claiming" 50 or so miles left. Started cutting out when stopping. A firm believer now in allowing less than 1/4 tank before filling up.

    engine cleaning

    I've read on this forum that you need to be careful on what engine cleaner you use. It has been said that aggresive solvent based cleaners can cause problems with the front leaf spring that crosses under the engine. Has anyone had any experience with the solvents in engine cleaners attacking...

    What makes the SYS blink?

    SS: Your post reminded me I didn't follow up with the solution to my "sys" blinking. I've remedied that and look at this link: (hope I do this link thing right) 93 "sys" blinking

    93 "sys" blinking

    Sorry for the delay on the follow up to this thread. Turns out the battery had a dead cell. 3 year old Sears Die Hard, actually 35 month old Sears Die Hard. 36 month replacement warranty, so I got a new battery out of the deal. The battery solved my problem.

    Valve stem seals (again!)

    I just did this procedure on my friends 85. Here is a tip to make removing the valve keeper a little easier. When you have the rocker arms out of the way and before using the spring compressor, use a small ball pien hammer and give the valve spring retainer a small smack on the edge to break...

    Thanks for the replies and Rabbit, thanks for the pages on aligning the roof. I won't have an opportunity to try this until next week (family matters). I'll let you know how it works out.

    1993 Roof Panel Alignment: how??

    Thanks for the replies. I think Robertwav1 is on the money. My problem with doing the alignment as you describe is that when I was tightening the adjustment bolts, the hold down plate was moving all over the place. I was hoping to get at the bolts from underneath while the roof was installed to...
