    Project Cherry Widebody, finished! (New pics on post #451 and #511)

    You got yourself a real nice car!! I would be careful burning rubber off onto that new paint, when ever I have excess smoke from my tires I get some hot rubber on the paint behind the tire. It would suck to have that nice paint be ate up by some silly burnouts. Good luck.

    I Need A Pic of Plugs Behind the Steering Wheel

    Wow, I didn't realize it was a 89+ wheel, thank you for the link!! I purchased the car like that so I assumed it was the original, I guess the previous owner just hit up a local salvage yard for a new wheel. Thanks again.

    I Need A Pic of Plugs Behind the Steering Wheel

    Hi all, I have a strange issue, I just recently replaced my wiper combo switch and found why cruise control wasn't working, when I removed the face the horn was hooked up correctly, but the plug leading from the cruise buttons was stuffed into the rear of the face. I noticed there was no spot...

    quick question

    I just had mine apart, take some pliers/channel locks and lightly grab the rubber hose and twist to break it loose, then pull up on one side, then the other, and finally the throttle body side. Hope this helps, good luck.

    Does anyone here have interest in a header?

    I have some solid works drawings of headers I can share, I need to clean them up, take some more measurements and add spots for the O2 sensor/s, but the general idea is there. I'm working without a NA manifold out of my car, so I can rework the down pipes if someone can give me some overall...

    Weirdest thing ever. Sounds like rod knock but isn't.

    How is the condition of the alt, I think if it was off kilter it would make a knocking sound when it doesn't have a lot of draw on it, like when the headlights are off, but when they are on it has resistance on it and doesn't knock. Hope its something simple like that, good luck.

    Analysis of the Strange Noise.

    Hmm, the only other thing I can think of off hand would be the belts. Also, is the sound loud enough that a vid camera would pic it up? If so then would you be able to get a sound clip of it?

    Analysis of the Strange Noise.

    Can you make the sound when the car is not moving?

    Analysis of the Strange Noise.

    Check your power steering fluid level. That could cause a sound similar to that. Good luck!

    N/A Gas milage.

    If I drive smoothly I can get around 400 miles to a tank, I do mostly highway though. When I'm not driving highway I usually make 330 mile to a tank. I have HKS cat back, test pipe, CAI, and NGK Spark Plugs and Wires. I personally don't like much from Autozone. I haven't tried but NGK...

    Pulls hard after 4000RPM

    I feel it "kick in" at about 4000 rpms, but it never dies off, it stays strong all the way up to 6800 rpms where it hits rev limiter. I have a valve tap issue that has come to my attention in the past few weeks, i'm thinking that is part of my system not working correctly.

    '78 F250 Build

    I would go for the lift, I can see them tires rubbing like no tomorrow when you get up to speed, they sure did when I lifted my Ranger, although thats a diffrent beast. Nice truck by the way, the bigger tires off set the existing lift, lol. I always loved that body style, my father had a...

    Valve Cover Paint

    I would sand them down with a decent coarse sandpaper and move onto a fine sandpaper. You will want to use a hight temp paint for them, if you take your time and don't rush you can get a few nice thick coat that wont flake off. Don't expect to finish it in one day, I would say take three to...

    86.5 NA run with no oil...knock knock knock!

    For machine work, look for a Kunkles in the area, I have a friend that took a Honda head to be rebuilt and they did an exceptional job. They do all kinds of machine work for import and domestic. I know of two off hand, one in Bel Air and the second in Aberdeen.

    7MGE 1/4 times - What are you getting?

    Yea, 15.3 is good. Is your car completely stock?

    7MGE 1/4 times - What are you getting?

    The last time I was at the track I ran a 15.4 with two subs, two amps, and a 130lb backpack. When I ran that time, the center drive shaft carrier bearing in my car was bad and the rear clunked a little, so i would expect about a 15.2 with all of those things fixed and all of the extra weight out.

    N/A-T question.

    Thank you, lol. I have a NA-T in the works as well, I'm trying to stay away from GTE electronics for as long as I can. I have everything ready besides BOV and fuel computer. Good luck on your projects.

    early 89 speedo cable

    All long side speedo cable should be interchangeable, I just replaced my long side cable, It's the short side that is diffrent. So you should be fine but I would save a little more money and get a new one from the dealer, I did that and got it from Jeff Watson, the quality of a new part such as...
