Have'nt had much garage time latley. I would like to get togather with other 3gen's sometime. Any information on Kansas gatherings, let me know.

NOTE: Anyone outthere installed "RAM cast iron exhaust manifolds" on a 3gen with 350 auto?

Hi Terry,
I installed 1967 Camaro Ram's Horn style exhaust manifolds on my sons '86 Z/28 because i put an "old style, drivers side dipstick" block (350 - 5 speed) into it. Actually, I only put the drivers side on, but it bolted up and fit real nice, had to take it to the muffler shop to have them patch in the head pipe, but it works fine. I don't know if the old Camaro's are the same as what you have but it is what I had layin' around and after measuring to make sure, it worked out. Thought I'd chime in on your question. Marty

I'm in Salina... The ksfba.org forum is nearly worthless. It's mostly a bunch of LS1 loudmouth nonsense. It's very poorly moderated, so it's usually just unregulated trash talk. The technical content is very slim, and I haven't seen anything in the classifieds worth having in the last 3 years.

It'd seem there are more then enough members on here from Kansas to justify a 82-92 specific forum, if people were to participate. The regional forums on here are just about useless too... As if someone in Utah is local to someone in North Dakota. Someone should just make a KS 82-92 Fbody specific forum.

Yea kinda hard to be local that far.

I have to admit when I first heard about ksfba.org about a year or so ago I was excited that there was such a forum. But overall, I wasn't impressed.

Actually, I was thinking yesterday after I posted that "JamesC has posted some good thirdgen parts in the classifieds"... I'm glad that slip didn't offend.

So what are we going to do? Do we just try to participate on KSFBA until there's some 82-92 activity? http://ksfba.org/forums/showthread.php?t=3768 is a start... Or do we set up a new message board on a free host?

I'd do a lot more with my Firebird if there was a decent forum. I've been working towards getting the car drivable again recently and I'm basically there, just have to jump through the legal loop holes.

JamesC

iTrader: (5)

Not at all. You wouldn't be surprised to learn that not a single part was sold through the site in question.

JamesC

Drew

iTrader: (58)

It's not too surprising... I listed a storage unit full of stuff and had a couple nibbles, but mostly just wasted my time. I've had better luck selling stuff on Craigslist. I've still got an attic full of parts, and some stuff in storage that I'd like to get rid of, but out of sight out of mind, and there really isn't anywhere to post it.

berlin305

iTrader: (2)

yea i understand. I am selling some stuff off the firebird. Just a little here and there. Its not hurting just sitting there. And got enough money to get the clutch i need for my conversion for my camaro. I tell ya what I will see what I can do on my end on the ksfba.org with the thread i made if no luck then i will use my rusty website skills and get on in the makings.

berlin305

iTrader: (2)

So far its eh on the ksfba.org. I seen alot of us trying to get it going. Been sitting here I am going to see if i can get a free host up to move our forum there i will post more when i have it.

berlin305

iTrader: (2)

Okay after hours later. I got a forum site up.

Hope you like. I know the url isn't what i wanted but eh. For starters not to bad. Check it out. All kansas peeps.

Already registered and posting... Needs more traffic, but that'll come as more people find there way in.

You might want to go back to the first post in this thread and edit it to add the link, since people stumbling on this thread will probably start there.

berlin305

iTrader: (2)

Yep you sure did. I went ahead and edited it. hopefully we will get to see more kansas tgo's aboard on the website .

I is still here!

Thanks "Topless87" for the reply. I sence found a spec sheet on the manifold dimensions. Found that the header pipe would be two close to crossmember for my preferance. I think it could be done though. I'm not wonting to modify things that much. I went with my stock cast manifolds for a good fit. I'll consentrate on the rest of the exhaust system for maximun flow.

Bump! So far update on the site i have is we have at least 10 members. Due to me being gone and neglected it >< my apologizes. So have another admin Drew :P to help me on it.

Drew

iTrader: (58)

The #1 thing http://kansastgo.49.forumer.com/index.php needs is more activity. The forum is there, it works 90% of the time and several people read it, there just aren't a bunch of people posting. Everyone just needs to register and start using it.

JamesC, What happens when you try to log in? I couldn't log on for a day or two, but I finally went back to the main page, and then got it to log in. I think my cookies were messed up.

JamesC

iTrader: (5)

The site simply won't let me log in. After one time, I'm told that I've exceeded the number of attempts allowed.

JamesC

You account is in good standing, have you tried clearing your cookies? There's a link just below the forum list that lets you delete cookies sent by the forum.

I changed the log in attempt setting so you can enter the wrong password many times before it will lock you out. Remember the software is set to require a password 6-10 characters long, and it must contain letters and numbers. That threw me off cause usually I don't use numbers in my passwords.

JamesC

iTrader: (5)

No, I didn't remember--and that was the problem. All's good. Thanks for waking me up.

JamesC

Drew

iTrader: (58)

Excellent! I stumbled across that setting while digging. Hope it keeps working for you!
I'm still getting used to the software, there are several pages of settings and menus, and it's all new to me.

Reminder about Set'Em Up Jacks cruise-in Saturday (every first Sat. through Oct. IIRC) in Lawerence (1800 E. 23rd St. Lawrence, KS 66046). There are usually some cool cars in attendance. No cost. Sign in and you'll get a coupon for 33% off food in the restaurant--which serves darned good burgers and good cold brews.

Be there or be square!
