Certainly can tell the age of that document. Now starter repair is ‘no problem found’ or ‘replace’

A piston ring company I’ve used for custom rings in the past is Deves. I believe they are out of Nevada. I’m sure the shipping will be worse than the cost of the rings.

The drain plug should be a standard mod, but it isn't. When problems occur and the fluid has to be drained 2 or 3 times in a season let alone, 2 or 3 times in a month, it becomes painfully obvious that a drain needs to be installed. Unless of course, your garage floor needs to be cleaned - ATF...

Rt Jam So much toe because of what the factory manual says. And it seemed to help, but that doesn't mean that it's the solution. The gear box ratio is 25:1. According to the vendor, it's 6.25 turns lock to lock. But I have interference at 6 turns (plus a little).

Bonnewagon I have the stock steering wheel that came with the car.

This is about the toughest 7 5/8 10 bolt you can find. Throw in a set of Moser axles and this will handle 450+ whp for a long time.

I believe you have to use an aftermarket TB. I’m not familiar with a DBC Gen 4 that offered a 4 bolt DBC TB. A low budget TB will work just fine. Regarding fuel economy, if you’re getting 15 mpg with a stock cam, or near a stock cam, and stockish converter, then you are leaving a bunch on the...

I've completed the manual steering conversion. The box and pitman arm were new (reman gear I assume) from Speedway Motors. TRZ drop spindles 1.5" I believe, with TRZ upper arms and a TRZ bump steer kit. The brakes are Wilwood Dynalite small brakes to fit inside a 15" wheel. And am using a set of...

Hopefully you have it near maximum by 75% throttle. It’s worth checking with a manual gauge at the transmission. Even if the software is setup correctly, an internal issue that causes low line pressure will burn up every automatic trans.

You have to start eliminating things. Check all of the rear suspension with a pry bar. Drive with the truck taped down with a towel in the seal area. And make sure your wheels are tight ;) If you get the wife to ride in the trunk - it didn’t happen unless we get pic or vid documentation.

How does the ECU control line pressure?

I’d guess you have the wrong pin installed in the booster or the booster has an issue. There is a chance that the master is not returning fully - easy to check by pulling it off to see if the piston is against the snap ring retainer. The old style master cylinder can be used with the newer...

You could put a fitting in place of the plastic elbow. But it would require cutting off the original and most likely void the warranty. That’s the same style piece of plastic as found in factory truck manifolds. I’ve put NPT fittings in place of many of the manifold nipples.

Fuel pressure wandering 20 psi on an MA setup is definitely going to cause issues. Regarding sensors, I used to buy new. But after several issues, I’m confident that used OEM always seem to be the most reliable.

I use bicycle brake cable and sheath. I have a factory firewall sheath and splice a piece of the bicycle sheath to it. Put a ball of silver solder onto the pedal end of the cable. It’s worked for 4 years.

I’m using a 4” Spicer tube. It’s a truck spec tube that’s rated at 850-900ft/lbs. local truck shop carries the tube and 3” fits stock yokes. I’m making a fair amount of power, well over 900whp and 800 ft/lbs without having any issues. My driveshaft is over 4 years old with a lot street miles and...

I’d love to see consistent 8’s, but I’m a realist as well. It should, but the crackpot behind the wheel has to be able to be just as consistent and I feel that’s a tall order 😉 I’m going to participate in several no prep races early in the season (no time and no Dragy) with the goal being to...

Our society and culture is changing. Not for the better in my opinion, but it's a fact. You've discovered one of the changes that I feel are not favorable. I agree with Ribbedroof, cars, hobbies, past times are for our enjoyment and pleasure, not others. Hopefully you enjoy your hobbies and they...

Haha. Not chicken, but you made me laugh. My friends that were there gave me the same talk. I’m a firm believer that tuning the car at the track is REAL. Dyno numbers are just that - numbers only. 2-3 second pulls from high gear starting above 5k is not the same as track tuning for an 8-9 second...
