Moving to Montana When I registered the RV in Montana the Deputy walked around the beast, checked the VIN against the title and said, "Looks like a RV to me.":eyerole Paid a one time tax of a couple hundred bucks and got forever plates with NO need for another inspection EVER!:upthumbs Steve...

1) clogged Catalytic converter. 2) throttle body leaking air around butterfly shaft 3) distributor problem

Fiberglass burns fast! Good morning Bill, Anyone that has not experienced composite material burning has no idea what they are up against. Without a tanker truck full of foam you do not stand a chance. Even with one you are lucky to stop the flames. A boat at the marina at home caught on...

Just looked back a few years Our cam of choice was the LPE211 It comes on stronger at low RPMs. The ZZ4 needs to rev a bit more. Both are worlds better than stock.:upthumbs Not a worry but a supercharger would end that discussion forever! Think I'll change my handle to, "if it ain't...

That sounds about right... There is no magic to building HP.:eyerole It should be noted that most well tuned, stock L98's will do about 20% better than factory specs. There are better cams for the TPI than the ZZ4, sorry, I have been away too long to remember which one we used. NO TPI will...

Dang, I am sorry to hear about Vettie,s death. You have had Vettie and been here for at least as long as I have had Thunder. Thunder is only in storage 5000 miles away but I still miss the car every day. I feel your loss:cry

Look up the post from a few years ago. Several of us were having lots of fun with the L98. $ for fun ratio was stroked to 383, ported heads, matching intake, 52MM throttle body, cam and intake of your personal taste. My final setup was a big mouth baseplate and tubes with ported plenum and...

Hi Dawn, Is it a Holley? I have had problems with Holley's leaking - inside, out side, everywhere. Also could be a float issue. It could be overflowing just enough to flood on a hot start but not enough to give any problems once the engine is running. Good luck, Igeaux

Our standard formula is 3 X the time, 4 X the cost and we still end up past deadline and over budget. I figure my wages for a rebuild are about $0.35/hour - really do not know how the shops do it for the price they charge with out cutting all of the corners.:confused

It is fueling off of a National Guard, AirForce configured tanker. Not unusual, you buy gas where you can at 40,000 feet. You do not arm up for Moose hunting if you are just out for a walk through the woods, I would say he plans on coming home without the bombs. Navy/Marine configuration is to...

This is how the Marine Jocks buy gas. Refueling Over Iraq Video | Air & Space Magazine :upthumbs

I once had a Peugeot 505 that I left the keys in hopes of theft. One day I deceided that the keys could not bee seen in the ignition so I put them on the dash with the windows open... ...when I returned to the car there were 3 more sets of Peugeot keys next to mine on the dash.;););)

keys? Friend of mine left the key in while pumping gas back when cars still had keys.... It was on the way to the wedding reception, car had full paint and tin cans dragging behind/new wife was in the toilet. Cops laughed their asses off, car was found stripped a few days later, insurance DID...

What part of England? Thunder is stored in Northampton waiting for me to return.

Sorry I am back in the states or I would come help you Hi, The BEST GM mechanic in Europe is Frankie of Frankie's Garage in Germany. Also there are some "Yanks" with know how at the bases in Naples, Sigonella, Aviano, Gaeda, etc. who will be more than happy to help you out with translating...

Why the new injectors? The intake leak is to be expected BUT are you leaking just a bit of oil or is some coolant disappearing? There is not not much metal around the back of the rear Rt hand cylinder and the different metals would be happy to react if anybody put tap water into the radiator...

The throttle cable or Governer can cause this BUT Unless the gearbox has been rebuilt before at 160K+ miles you are probably looking at a rebuild. Both the cable and governor are easy to check/adjust. Release the cable with the catch on the bracket on the TB. Pull the cable out as far as you...

Looks like Mac and Hib were hot on the trail. Thankfully we do not get much of this crap on CAC.:)

The valve body is the ego of the transmission. Impala's need a smooth shift, the Malibu should feel crisp and Corvettes should give you a thrill. All 700R4's are not the same BUT the Corvette version is not necessarily the best. On a good rebuild only the case and valve body will be reused...
