Re: Steering shaft Send me the info you said on e-bay. I'm ready

Re: power steering pucking Not leaking from a hose, wish it was that easy. I though of air, but it's been awhile since reinstallation & it was ok for a while. Even with the level below norm, at cold it still pushes fluid out when hot, I don't really see foam...

So after reinstalling my power steering, now it keeps pucking out fluid, very smokey. any clues?

Re: RPM leaf springs Re: RPM leaf springs You guys looking for Fiber spring, haven't you heard of the FLEX-A-Form in florida.THEY are the 1s that have made them for years. However I did brake them in half on the dyno testing my STRAIGT PLUG Brodix heads that fit with no mods.

Re: Bowtie Head Nightmare Mike you need to see alot of things. Like you want a pic of my Brodix heads with the stock mans. on them? With NO mods to them ? How about a pic. of the dyno sheet that shows 650' torqure @ 16 lbs? With your old turbo ?

Re: Which coil to choose ? So many coils have high voltages, but what really counts for the "strength" of the spark is the current. Top fuel cars have roughly the same voltage that we can get, but their ign. sys. put out over 40 amps! Were lucky to get 1, more ofter more like 200 mils...

Well, I have done flex-a-forms, dustin's front suspention, fiberglass hood, used a hole saw in certain places, changed to man. steering (which I think I'm changing back) bumper braces, removed stuff on the CAC & something else I can't remeber. I guess it all depends on how non-stock we want...

How thick are those fiberglass prouducts? The mica I got is .012 & you couldn't have anything in there much thicker without it touching the man. & plug which would provide direct heat transfer. And what ever you use can't be pourus because the spark will go right through it.

When I ordered mine they, weld up the angeled hole & redrill-tap them straight. Almost looks like they might do it by hand. Or they certainly didn't have sy manifolds to put on for plug clearance. Don't know if it's the diff. in the dr-pass. manifolds or just luck , but the dr's is no...

So Matt Just how much stuff did you remove to get it that light? Iv'e removed alot from mine & it's still 3510 if I remember right. Then add me & my gut at 240.

False, how? I didn't torque it, just average tightness. I would think for it to loose enough for a "soft?" install it would fall out. I'm still thinking loose pistons. Hey, wait....I'm Dave & my sy is 2662

So with my new knock sensor installed, no more code 43. But on the DM, it shows almost contiuous knocks & timing retard when reving in nutreal of holding at 2K or higher. Could be pistons, pins of ???? Anyone ever heard of this? Maybe mount knock sens. else where??
