    Front end shaking

    I may have missed something, but it sounded like you are running on 10 year old front tires. They may look OK but they get hard and do strange things. You need four tires that are alike and the same age.

    Upshift Light

    Well Today, I drove it and the light stayed out. Just a gremlin I guess.

    Took the thermostat out and temp stabilized at 210. That is at idle with AC on in Florida.

    86 L98 Camshaft

    If the cooling system is having a hard time keeping. up a 160 thermostat will not do any good. It already has a 180 thermostat. I may take the thermostat out completely. It didn't run hot before I rebuilt it so I think it will come down as I put a few miles on it.

    86 L98 Camshaft

    Took it out for a brief test drive. Had regular in the tank. It didn't like that. Put premium in it but it was running hot so I went home. I think the hot condition is Florida with a rebuilt engine.

    Mine went wacky in my 86. Had to replace the ECM to cure it.

    Starting Problem

    Leaky injectors can cause a hard start when warm. Don't pump the pedal. Holding it down starts a "clear flood" in the ECM.

    Coolant Leak!!

    86 L98 Camshaft

    It's not bad at all. Maybe a hair rougher but acceptable. It sounds great through the headers, straight exhaust, and Flowmaster mufflers. I have to enlist help to get the hood back on before the road test. Converted the AC to R134 today . The freon had leaked out while it sat. Seems to...

    Dark Dash

    Took my dash unit out today and took it apart. The only thing I found wrong was that three of the halogen bulbs were burnt out. The tutorial mentioned earlier suggests replacing the 882 halogen bulbs with 194s. I looked at bulbs in 5 parts stores today and all the 194s have an incompatible...
