Brad's is the best... no joke. When/if you're buying local, or getting work done, they are THE shop. Got lots of help/advice from them before I ever spent a dime with them... they were more than happy to just discuss 'future plans' for my car and give me tips and opinions with no attemt to...

BTW, While the emision stations do not typicaly do an under hood check, they are authorized to do one if they believe there is a problem... Also, when moving here from another state, Washington does have a vehicle inspection requirement for older (not sure of year cutoff) vehicles or ANY not...

Just got my DOA (oops, AOD) rebuilt. Had ALTO red clutches, Fairbanks A+ servo, and a Bauman shift kit installed. It shifts crisp now. Stock shift was at 4800 per factory spec, now its 5200 with the mildest of settings on the shift kit. the converter is a quality rebuild of a T-bird SC unit...

rod cap or caps are likely on backwards. It's easy to tell, there is a chamfer on one side of the bearing bore that faces the crank side. the un-chamfered side faces the adjecent rod, this is to clear the fillet radius on the crank. If backwards it will not clear and may even damage the crank.

I doubt the jd stands for what you think... it's my initials.

Take this with a grain of salt... but any law that is 'clearly' not enforced becomes null and void. Any lawyer worth a piss can get any ticket issued under these laws tossed. It is comon knowedge that there are thousands of cars on the road violating these laws and not being ticketed (being...

The clutches in the trc-loc are shot! Re-build the trac-loc and add the extra clutch while your at it. Do a search of the forums for info. I have seen the instructions with pictures posted before. It's easy enough to do and would really be bad if you try to run 3.73 without doing it.

I have had the same problem(s). It is't not the cable stretching though, it's the housing collapsing (spelling?) that makes it so the clutch won't disengage. I was in a drive through a BK when mine let loose, the housing actualy blew out like a compressed chinees finger cuff. I had to...

Stock pump was 88LPH untill 1989 and 95LPH there after (MAF used 95LPH). And, no the stock pump is not even suffiecient for a stock engine. So go with one big enough to supply all the mods you have planned (not just what you will do next) I would say go 190LPH just to be sure you will not...

No draining required to remove valve covers, willneed to remove upper intake though. And if the OEM gaskets are still on the valve covers you won't even need to scrape the gaskets. The OEM unit is a rubber bonded to a steel shim, and if it they are still in good condition may be re-used. If they...

I don't know who these 'people' are, or what they have been smoking... but tell then to stick to Hondas, or whatever it is they drive! This combo will work fine. You will not have any valve clearance problems either. The cam and rockers are the same as a '93 Cobra that runs the same piston as...

It looks like you want a locker, but the Auburn has me confused. If an Auburn is a choice, why not an Eaton limited slip? And if your thinking E-locker (good locker, but $$$), why not an ARB? ARB is considered the "best" by 4x4 crowd for strength, and is a couple bucks cheaper from what I have seen.

Peak torque RPM is the point where peak dynamic cylinder pressure is made, this is also where peak volumetric effiecientcy occures. So, anything that changes the RPM where peak dynamic cylinder pressure occures will change the torque peak RPM. The single biggest influence to this is the cam...

Any shop qualified to do the install will have the parts or can obtain them easy enough. Usualy most shops would like that you buy some or all of the parts from them anyway. But that's not a stupid question.

I have no problem with people speaking another language... heck my english isn't even that good. BUT, I don't believe there should be laws requiring anyone to make changes to anything just so that those not speaking/reading english can make do without learning english. If your going to...

There are a few common places. 1) On the firewall above the pinchweld in the center. Just need to move the wiring and brake line a little. This may be the easiest place to put it, not the best looking or functioning. (gets hot there, may reduce life of unit) This is where mine is for now...

Hissn50 may be on to something there. And the EGR system is prone to problems too. You should be getting codes for this though. If it was not operating at all (stuck open/closed or EVP sensor not connected) it would throw a code. But that does not say it could not be some kind of anomily with...

I am really starting to suspect you Harmonc damper is bad. You say you have run spout out at 20deg. base timing and it ran good. That would rule out timing chain and should rule out fuel system too. How far up can you run the timing befor you have a problem? Sounds like the damper has spun, or...

Way off subject, sorry. Will PM in future. Wow, Woodinville... so did I. I graduated in '87 from Woodinville HS. Mostly lived in Juanita-Bothell or Woodinville area growing up. Moved to Everett after HS, and just moved to my first house in Arlington... Guess I should change that in my...

Can't answer this one. I would be in the same boat either way whan it comes to the women thing, and was fine on cash until I bought a house... but I guess if I lost the wife I would be up a buck or two on food (ha,ha) Now, if you asked "garage and no money" or "money and no garage", then...
