    Bought an 87 GT...problems and questions!!!

    Rather than a cam, the rough idle may just be the timing off, that's what was up with my 5.0 when I bought it. I set it back to 10-12 and it smoothed out and idled much better.

    engine whiz's come in, head and cam compatable?

    Is this the correct spring set, the top one http://www.trickflow.com/product/camsandvalvetrain/pr_springupgradekits.asp So would the $500 rebuilt heads be worth it since I need the TF $130 spring set anyways... or should I just buy the take off heads that need redone for about $300, get the...

    engine whiz's come in, head and cam compatable?

    I wold imagine they are equivalent to stock GT40 equipment. So would the stock gt40 springs be okay with the cam and roller rockers? Thanks

    Electric Fan Question

    just make sure the hi output alternator makes adequate amperage at idle rpm. I bought a 180 amp alt for my s-10 that performed worse at low rpm than my stock 100 amp one.

    What size fuse for 180 amp alternator???

    well, I put a 175amp mega fuse in line between alt. and battery with 4ga. Volts go down at idle but go to 14V with throttle. Is this a sign of a bad/going out battery? I had to recharge the battery last week...

    What size fuse for 180 amp alternator???

    Ok, my fuse may have been blown before the new alternator. Everything has been fine the past 2 months with the fan. The high speed setting would kick the volt gauge from 14 to 12 at idle, but at speed, the high speed setting had no effect. Last Sunday, with stock alternator still on, my volts...

    What size fuse for 180 amp alternator???

    I just upgraded to a 180amp alternator on my daily S-10. On the dyno sheet the alternator actually maxed out at 196amps. I have a 4 ga. upgraded wire running from alt to battery which had a 120amp fuse in it. Upon startup the 120amp fuse blew. What is the correct size fuse to use in this...

    Help with buzzing relay !!! Electrical gurus come in!!!

    well, I figured out the source of my ticking... the flex a lite controller has a 60% startup and a/c setting. The 60% was probably achieved by the quick off/on off the controller output so that the fan would move at a lower than full power setting. However, this rapid on/off was causing a rapid...

    Help with buzzing relay !!! Electrical gurus come in!!!

    The buzzing has kind of gone away but I believe I will rewire my setup. My controller sends out constant + and so I will run a fused + straight from battery to fan +. I will use the relays to control the ground side because the fan controller either grounds/ungrounds to power the fan. Fan...

    Help with buzzing relay !!! Electrical gurus come in!!!

    I will test with a mm today again to verify it but it seemed like I was getting weird #'s from it last night... If I remember the control side 85, 86 was getting 6 volts when the fan was off... I think the controller sends out constant (+) but uses (-) as the on/off...

    Help with buzzing relay !!! Electrical gurus come in!!!

    I am using a flex a lite variable speed controller that is only rated at 25 amps. So I am using the two 30 amp relays in parallel after the controller to handle the tauraus fan amp draw. Instead of running the controller (+) out to the fan, I am using that to activate my relays at the 85...

    Help with buzzing relay !!! Electrical gurus come in!!!

    yea, I am using a diode across the relay coil, silver stripe on the + side like seen in all the tech articles, it is still doing it, do I need a bigger diode or more than one? I am using two 30 amp relays in parallel to handle the taurus fan. I am also using a diode across the fan with the...
