I had the same problem here in Vancouver WA/ Portland Or area. I wanted to have a 2004R rebuilt to handle at least 400hp. I called about 8 independent tranny shops and was getting answers like "Oh yah we've done few of those" or "Bring it by and we'll take a look". I was not very confident...
Gary is correct. My car has the squeak right rear only. I used a very small dab of grease to lube the pin and the noise stopped. The lube lasted a fair amount of time but does reoccur.
I finally installed the super turbos in july 2014. The magna flow mufflers are a straight thought design. The walker mufflers make 2 180deg turns internally. I really cant tell any difference from power level. The drone I had at cruise is gone. Now that I have some miles on the walkers the...
The baffles for the pcv and breather wont clear my stock 81 covers. rhs heads with comp cam roller tip 1.6 rockers. I am looking at spacers to raise the height and I think they might fit.
The sensor for the aux. cooling fan comes on at 238 deg f and turns off at 201 deg f. It is controlled by engine coolant temp and there are no relays in the circuit. The sensor is located in the engine block, passenger side between exhaust ports, cylinders 6 and 8. My 81 never exceeded 195...
Neutral safty switch and reverse light switch are attached to the same bracket under the console. Best bet is to remove the seats and then the side console covers. Both switches are fully adjustable
I'll agree that the stock air cleaner will not fit. I just installed 7101 rpm edle intake and 1411 750cfm edle carb on my 81 with the stock hood. With a edle air cleaner assm and a 3" filter the highest point has 1/2 inch clearance. Not too sure I buy into the stock cold air intake setup...
Welcome DJ. The swap is straight forward. Just unplug the connectors to the dizzy and carb and install your new stuff. The CCC also controls the lockup torque converter if you have a auto trans so you'll have to the leave the fred flintstone computer pluged in or just do without the lockup...
I sure hope what your hearing is not the engine knocking. If it is detination or some might call it octane ping, this will destroy the engine in short order. Get your timing checked ASAP. Hopfully the rattle is just some loose bracket but regaurdless I'd not drive it till the fault is found.
I rebuilt the entire front and rear suspension 4 yrs ago. All rubber bushings. I had ordered a set of poly body mounts and when I recieved them I cound not see how they would cushen anything because the where hard as a rock. Sent them back. So far the rubber is working just fine all around and...
Friday stuck in traffic in Tacoma Wa. I was southbound headed home to Vancouver (165mi away). Northbound traffic I-5 I spot a black Vette that looked different. Sunny and cool temps. I had the window down and relized very quick , WOW C7. This is the first one I've seen on the road. I stuck...
We are running out of choices for this size tire. I found only 3 brands that where readily available. Copper cobra, Mickey Thomson and BFG TAs . I settled for the BFGs this spring. $550 for 4 out the door from america tire
Hoping I dont make you feel to bad by adding a touch more salt to the wound. As the rains have finally hit here in Wa state, my 81 has been idle in the garage for 3 weeks. Just could'nt take it any longer. Had to go for a ride last Sunday. Light mist, roads wet, leaves and pine bowes littered...
Here in WA state its real hard to find pure gas. The only problem I have had with e10 is in my gas powered weed wacker. All the rubber parts went south in the fuel system and had to be replaced. Found this on the web but dont know if it very acurate. Fill a tall skinny glass bottle with 1...
The 81 I bought was a 100% stock Oregon smog car. Here in Washington no smog laws for cars 25yrs and older. I installed dynomax ceramic coated 1 5/8 long tube headers and a corvette america off road dual exhaust system with no cats and magna flow mufflers. No proof but seems like a 40hp...
