    Power Steering Pump Fit

    During my rebuild I decided to replace the 208,000 mile old ps pump. I bought a replacement from Advance auto but the inlet for the high pressure line is smaller than on the factory pump. If I remove the ~1.5 inch factory interface from the end of the high pressure line, that fitting will mate...

    Ghetto...Or am I smarter than I look?

    Well, I bought the streetdamper so of course the markings are about 34-36 degrees off from the stock 5.0 timing pointer (verified using the search function!). What I did is align the keyways with them side by side and "marked" zero from the FRRP damper to the streetdamper. I then installed it...

    Typhoon Users

    I have a typhoon intake that I bought several months ago and finally got around to taking it out of the box and looking at it. I laid the 1250 gaskets on the ports and there is very little metal in the flow area, maybe 1/32" on some ports. Is it necessary to completely clear that metal or is it...
