I recently had an issue when I put my new wiring harness in the car (1986 Buick Regal T-Type). No stock wiring in place (Holley Dash) so no idiot light. Close to new AC Delco Gold alternator. It is exactly like what 79 USA 1 said. It should have worked with keyed voltage to the F terminal but...

Couple thoughts here: 1. Low mile stock is going to probably bring the most resale value. 2. Mods don't really add value. I would say do what you like but keep the stock parts if you are worried about resale. The previous poster is right about making it 100% before doing anything. #1 thing...

When everything is working, they are great. Once you start chasing issues it's a huge pain in the *ss. Parts store parts don't work, even if you can find them. Luckily we have people like Bob Bailey and other mad scientists who have come up with fixes for some of the problems. With tools like...

As long as the tune is on point the 109 motor can take a lot. Usually when you see a windowed block or the car joined the driven over the crank club something bad tune wise happened.

Those were the good times. I pulled multiple 109's out of junk yard NA regals for cheap. The problem now is we are running out of those blocks. Good 109's are fetching $600+ for a bare block. You are easily over $10k for a built forged 109 long block using Chinese cranks and rods. I am...

Had a 85 LX 5.0 that I swapped a 89 EFI motor/ 5spd trans in along with multiple turbo regals. My 85 Mustang was slightly faster on the street than my 85 T-Type (non-intercooled turbo) but any of my 86's (intercooled turbo) cars were slightly faster/quicker than the Mustang when stock. The big...

This 100%. My first go at this I had 2019 Camaro SS Brembo setup with C7 Z51 rotors on Blazer spindles and it would have taken a 16mm spacer to give the needed 3mm for caliper to wheel face clearance with the 8" wide wheel I have. I was not comfortable with pushing the track width that much...

I am running the CPP spindles but upgraded to the J55 (Z51) 13.4" rotors. They fit perfectly with the Gbodyparts 18" GNX replicas no spacers. The 18x8 has a 4" backspace and clears the caliper fine. I am running a full ridetech coil-over suspension up front with a 255-35 tire and it does not...

I have Mosers 28 spline in mine. They have held up well. I also just had the housing straightened because there was a slight bend to it. I had to use a rubber mallet to get the pass side axle in to take the c-clips off and pry it out. I also had them weld the axle tubes since it was out and apart.

Looks good! 3/16 is fine. 3mm is the minimum Brembo says and you are close to 5mm.

I did this a few months ago but ended up selling them and going with the C6 J55 (Z51) setup because I didn't like needing such a large spacer and how far the tire was out with the wheels I have (gbodyparts GNX style 18x8 on the front). Was an easy process to modify the spindles and the guy at...

My JRT/Chi mix is that way with her ball. I can line up multiple identical balls and she will get "the one" EVERY time. It sucks when she finally destroys one, it takes a week or so for her to attach to another ball.

Not a Dachshund but my youngest dog was very head strong. It was great for us having a doggy door for potty training this guy but now he does this... He pulled his mat out of his crate and made himself comfortable while he spied on the next door neighbors.

My 3 mutts on any given afternoon. Cody - close one on the couch, 15ry old Cocker, sweetest girl ever. Buddy - on the floor. 5yr old mutt, some cocker, some golden, mostly goober Lily - 7yr old Chihuahua/Jack Russel, runs the other 2 dog, thinks she is the queen

Flat connector with resistor went to the AC compressor clutch I believe.
