Re: 2014 Cadillac ATS Luxury 2.0T AWD
I like it! I think that engine is the same basic architecture as my Cobalt was. I think you got a great deal. Huge upgrade over the Corolla.

Re: 1996 Collector Edition Corvette
I was surprised by that too. Walts description of the wire hook kinda sounds like the way the rear bench seat bottoms are usually clipped in.

Re: 1979 Malibu
Small bits of progress over the weekend. The turn signals work! It was just a missing fuse in the fuse block. I still need to replace the lever. I dug out the wiper components that came with the car, only to find the wiper motor doesn't seem to work. Not sure if I need a switch, as the circuit testi...

Re: Climb a Mountain or Buy a Dodge?
The obvious solution is to go climb a mountain, in your Dodge.
Like maybe the Mount Washington Auto Road, in New Hampshire. https://mt-washington.com/
Gwen and I did it years ago on our motorcycles.

Re: Why Tony Angelo left HRG...
I've watched some of his current content on his Stay Tuned youtube channel. It's mildly entertaining.

Re: 1979 Malibu
I've been slowly working on a few things. Chris took my old crank-position-sensor bracket to work and they scanned it in. He got their CAD guy to fix up a few things, and we have now reproduced it in .260 aluminum. I'll be making a trip to Cut-N-Paste Welding this weekend to have it put together. 20...

Re: 1979 Malibu
Well, I am a glutton for punishment, so I'm giving it another shot! Maliboost is officially entered for Hot Rod Drag Week 2024, Sep 15-20. I'm entered in the Street Race Small Block Power Adder class. And this is the week after the Champcar Mid-Ohio race with the 944! September is gonna be busy! -Dave

Re: 1990 Corvette Z51
The bad news is I'm not seeing anything on my gas gauge. The other bad news is that I had trouble with the gas pump at Sunoco clicking off with anything but the absolute slowest pace. what the heck?? Good news -- I drove the car to Chardon over lunch and put 17 gallons without any issue and the gas...

Re: 1990 Corvette Z51
This was one of the the wires that got replaced after the Mid-Ohio fire. It's relatively new-ish. I should have enough stuff in inventory to make a proper replacement. Right now it's a too-long blue wire amongst a set of red wires. I'm looking forward to getting some miles on this thing in the sprin...

Re: 1990 Corvette Z51
Worked on the Corvette again today and made some progress. Speece came over to help and we knocked out a few things. *) internal plenum bolts replaced with low-profile button head bolts with a dab of blue loctite. *) removed exhaust, found converter was already gutted, which saved a bunch of work. I...

Re: 1990 Corvette Z51
Test drive complete, but the problem remains. I eyeballed the fuel filter when it was up in the air last night and it looked relatively shiny/new-ish, but found no reference to it in this thread, so I guess I've never changed it. I'll order a new fuel filter. I also ordered a fuel pressure test kit....

Re: 1979 Malibu
I readjusted the bracket for the max clearance I could get on the crank sensor. I forget the measurement, I did that several weeks ago. A dedicated USB cable has been put in the car. I got the trans-cooler fan all wired up. I got the boost controller all plumbed in and verified the solenoid works. I...

Re: 1990 Corvette Z51
Remains to be seen. I still think there was some shit in there. But now, there isn't!
I'm excited to take it for a test drive this week.
