Re: Official Tampa, FL Area Thread
Whats the price tag? Hopefully soon I can get it fixed dealing with a hand injury so everything been hard lately. Also feels like the steering column is loose. So before headers. Steering fix whatever it may be, calipers and cylinders, then headers along with fuel issue.Which could be a few things. Atleast I can say. My car Is loving the cold as much as I am.

I don't think it's the alt being bad, I think my wiring is just *** so I need to redo it. At any rate the battery is dead again today after driving it, but AZ didn't carry the gauge wire I need to rewire everything. I'm about ready to just yank the whole setup and rewire the whole car for a LS1.
I really want to take the car around the east coast next year, but at this rate it's never going to make it out of my driveway.

Re: Official Tampa, FL Area Thread
So, I need to choose a color to paint my car in a couple weeks. I'm thinking silver, or the same color. What do you guys think?

Re: Official Tampa, FL Area Thread
Do you have a tilt column? It's a pain in the *** to fix, but you can. I've done it like 4 times and bought a non-tilt because I don't want to do it a 5th. If you want long tubes, I'm gonna be selling mine soon enough. Hell, my whole setup will be up for sale this weekend.

I might have a c-clip for those too. Since I'll be scooping up L98s exhaust setup I'll have mine for sale if anybody is interested. Headman long tubes, 2.5" pipe to 3" Dynamax Bullets.

Re: Official Tampa, FL Area Thread
a steering wheel puller? you don't need one. take the cover off, back the 3/4 nut off until its flush with the end of the shaft. with your knees and 1 arm pull up on the wheel,and whack the nut/stud with a hammer.

Re: Official Tampa, FL Area Thread
Got the longtube setup all off, and a stock setup on.
I'm down for another meet also. I'm on the serious lookout for a shorty header and Y pipe setup.

Re: Official Tampa, FL Area Thread
Any suggestions for heads? As much as I want new aluminum heads I can't afford them any time soon. Should I just buy Vette 113 alum heads? Or get some decent GM iron head? I don't need to make absurd power, I just want my car to run right. I have a set o Scorpion 1.5 RRs with pushrods and new lifters, so I just need something with valves in it.
