1992 RS Camaro. First car for Der Burger.
Thank you all. It has been far more work than anybody initially thought it would be. F'n PO was great at hiding his crap work and we are paying the price for it now. But, we are getting to build it I guess the way we want. For what I am in it now, I could have bought her a nicer car but it would...- Catbox

Headers for air bagged 86 c10
On my big block, I have a set of 1968 - 72 Nova headers and they tuck up in the frame quite well. I do not know if the small blocks are the same, but it gives you a direction to look in.- Catbox

1992 RS Camaro. First car for Der Burger.
I got to have some time out in the driveway this weekend and I finished up the radio and console install to complete this dash upgrade. I had to run a new yellow switched power wire from the fuse box as the PO had fried the wire coming straight out of the fuse panel. I clipped it off and...- Catbox

Since I have very little confidence in the PO's abilities to do much of anything mechanical, I have also ordered several other parts of the cooling system. They are inexpensive enough and I don't want to have to keep diving back in to fix the next thing. So also coming along will be a water...- Catbox

Just ordered the OSC 951 for my daughters car. It was all full the other day and then she took it out and drove it all over the place. Came back and she said that she could hear it bubbling and gurgling when she turned it off. Checked the overflow and it was empty with remnants of cruddy water...- Catbox

1992 RS Camaro. First car for Der Burger.
A 305 automatic is still more fun than a V6. I posted the photo of the burnout in front of the house and a buddy said "Oh man it only leaves one." The response was "It still does V8 thing and a limited slip is much easier than a engine swap." It may only have a 305, but it still is fun to...- Catbox

What new tools have you got lately?
I bought this at the pawn shop the other day. I have wanted a meter that would tell me DC amperage as well as AC for a while now. It presented itself on Saturday. For some reason it would not read voltage with the leads, but the non contact voltage worked like a champ. So I took the chance on it... -
Best 454 all around build
If you just want to find a set of heads to swap onto your existing engine, the L-29's can bolt right on as well. That will give your Gen 4 engine a nice full point of compression and it will make you more power all around with just those. The internet states it is around 30 to 40 more...- Catbox

Best 454 all around build
If it were mine and this is what I am going to be doing once other things are done in the project pile.... I would pull a L-29 7.4L Gen 6 Vortec big block out of a junkyard vehicle and build off of that. Here my kid and his buddies pulled a Gen 6 and its matching 4l80 transmission from a...- Catbox

1992 RS Camaro. First car for Der Burger.
So the other day when the kid ran around after DMV showing off the car to whomever, she reported that part of the exhaust fell off. ****. She picked the piece up that went over the axle as it was only tacked in place and not finish welded in place. Now the part has witness marks on it where it...- Catbox

Just so you can plan for it, they close the lower yard at the Sherwood location. That means that on the first weekend of October things pulled are 40% off. And the second weekend of October things pulled from the yard are 75% off with no returns. That is a heck of a deal and you can bet your...- Catbox

Olds Bravada, GMC Jimmy, Chevy Blazer rear ends
Moved the weeds off of it. The 8.6 I wanted because it has the correct bolt pattern. But alas, now I read the giant calipers will interfere with my frame as my car is quite low. All because I didn't want to have to rework the Ferd 8.8 that is somewhere else in the backyard. Odd to think I have...- Catbox

I totally forgot about the score that Max made the other day at the junkyard! He wandered off while Paul and I were pulling a stubborn fan from its home. Came back and said we weren't allowed to look until he told us we could. He came into view and said to look... He had found in a 1984 Camaro...- Catbox

I am still a newb. I assume you are talking about the Focus controller, if so I believe that it is adjustable. More learning is needed on my part about that little controller doohickey.- Catbox

Olds Bravada, GMC Jimmy, Chevy Blazer rear ends
It was out of a 2001 S-10, I know it was because I pulled it out. I just can't seem to find the photo of the truck. From a web page that I used to know what to look for when I was doing the search in the junkyard: "The 8.5″ axle was used on vehicles up to 1999. The 8.6″ was used on vehicles...- Catbox

The PWM gizmo's are a massive $10 each and I picked mine up off Amazon. They are similar to the ones shown in this graphic below. I have not tested to see how this electrical design will work just yet, that and I will not be using the ECM to trigger the fans. In my car the computer does not...- Catbox

So now this is how the front of the house looks, all Chevy and all considered old now. She loves the car and just wants to be set free to drive and drive. Now I have leverage to make sure she does well in the next terms of college. I did see that this car seems to run hot. Like at 240...- Catbox

Also, before we took it down she got to learn to change her own oil. The PO true to form, put the filter on as tight as possible. Awesome. Jacob was over so I had him get under there and assist with the removal of the filter. After that was all did down below, they put the new earl into the...- Catbox

I forgot to take a totally complete photo of the dash project. This is how it has been sitting for the last two months on the big 6 ton jack stands.

Whelp. The story continues. Max and I were told to take Friday off last week to make for a nice long 4 day weekend. Max tried to clean up and protect the soldered in resistors that eliminate the need for the resistor key. He broke one of the legs off two days before we have appointment with the...- Catbox
