That's a part # for the Hedman Hustler (street strip- camaro). But in the foot notes it say's to use a remote oil filter and mini-start. I think I'll get the hooker's.

Air_Adam

Nice!

Hey, what heads do you have now? I still need a set for a new engine I am building... don't know yet if it will be the L69 or a 350 though.

Trevor86TA

Air Adam: I have some earlier castings. I am not sure exactly what they are, but I could show them to you in a few weeks when I pull them off. They are 76s milled to 74cc (yields 9:1 with flat-tops) with LT1 valve spirngs, a 3-angle valve job, heavy duty locks, retainers, etc. They'd work alright on a 350, but have too big of chambers for a 305. They have about 10k kms on them.

Launchpad: I ordered my 2210s from the Mustang Shop in Calgary. Same price in Saskatoon ($595) but less one tax and I have to go there anyways to get my heads. I don't know where I got the $514 from. I think he originally came in at $614 and then came down twenty bucks. Sorry for the mistake. Did you get any more parts yet?

launchpad

Nope. I just changed jobs so money was a little tight last month. I did get a powder coating gun from Eastwood, should be at my door hopefully next week. Also ordered 3 books from Amazon.ca by David Vizard. Looking forward to getting them, supposed to show how to port the exhaust side of my sportsmans. I think I'll buy the Hookers at the end of the month. Should be a little more ahead money wise. I have a long weekend next week, Hopefully I can run my car out to my brother-in-laws shop them and get some of it torn apart.

Trevor86TA

882s.

Air_Adam

882s huh? Ok, I think I'll pass then.. my 350 already has a set of those, although not done up like yours are.

And I think I'm gonna be building the L69, so I'll be on the hunt for 416 or 601.

Hey, any of you guys know how much it might cost to have an exhaust made here in s'toon? I might have the exhaust done this summer, routed the same as stock, 3" pipe, and a _______ muffler (not sure yet, lol)

Wheres a good place to go for that? I've heard competition muffler is good, but expensive.

dwillms

If any of you guys happen to be looking for a car, I'm thinking of selling mine. I'm from Saskatoon, and I've got an 86 TA, LB9 engine, auto, WS6 package. It's a black/gold car, nice paint, good interior, and check this out:

Factory RECARO's

Yep, my car came with the AS5 Recaro Seat Option. Driver's seat is a power seat. On these boards, I've only heard of two other cars with this option, and one is the guy who got his TA 24K gold plated.

Anyways, if any of you might be interested or know somebody looking for a thirdgen, throw me an e-mail k.willms@sasktel.net . I can also give you a number to reach me at and some pics of the car if you would like. Thanks guys,

-Dustin

Hey, who went to the Draggins? Some really nice cars there!

I saw my car's clone too!

dwillms

Didn't seem like there were too many Pontiacs at the show this year. What was with all the 442's though, it seemed like there were about 15 of them or something. My uncle was there with his 68 Firebird 428, the green Royal Bobcat clone. To me it seemed like there were a lot of nice, good looking cars, but none that really stood out to me like "wow, that is one super-hot car".

Air_Adam

I saw that 428 Firebird... is that real? Or was a 428 transplated in there? Either way, thats a sweet ride!

I know, what was up with all the Cutlass's (Cutlie?)? Don't think I've ever seen that many at any car show before.

I got so jealous too, lol, seeing all the Corvettes and Camaros with the LT1/L82 aluminum valve covers... ugh... i wanna get a set so bad!!

dieseldennis

Saskatoon here. 87 Z28. :rockon:

Air_Adam

Anyone been hanging out at Part Source lately, like most of last summer? Has that started up yet?

Andy 91GTA

iTrader: (2)

There are a few of us that sometimes hang out there on the weekend.

JLP

I was in Stoon on the weekend, whos car is this??? It was soo nice, parked out by the LB on 8th street

Trevor86TA

I saw that car the other day too! It was parked just north of 8th on Preston Avenue. I remember seeing a bright yellow 86 TA for sale in Regina back when I bought mine in 1998. I bet this is the same one.

launchpad

Hey, I saw your car tonight on broadway.matt82z-28. i was on the deck on top of the yard, freezing my **** off.

CeeDubYa

Hola, just found this forum! Colin Wilson, 1985 Trans Am 305 TPI/Auto.

launchpad

Hi Colin, welcome to the forum.
Got any pics of your car.

CeeDubYa

Thanks for the Welcome, and Sure do!

Air_Adam

As some of you might have noticed, my Z28 was running a little sick last time I was there (Part Source).

Should be all cool now, after I dropped $110 on little computer gizmos

BTW... does anyone know where I can borrow a timing light from?

-----

HEY!! Anyone here go see Aerosmith on Sunday? AWESOME SHOW!!! Especially for me... I thought my tickets sucked untill I saw the two that had the seats beside me and my buddy I gotta say, these girls really knew how to have fun... daaaamn...

I gotta say, that was one of the best nights I've EVER had!!! WAHOOO!!! :rockon: :rockon:

CeeDubYa

I've got one if you need it.

Air_Adam

Anyone gonna sign up for the Show N' Shine at Canadian Tire? Only $10, and its gonna be fun

Trevor86TA

When is the Show and Shine?

Air_Adam

I'll find out at work tomorrow and let everyone know.

IIRC, its near the end of June. I'll get a date tomorrow.

Air_Adam

...Ok, so its not at the end of June like I thought.

Its on Saturday, June 5. $10 to enter, all proceeds to charity, and you can pick up a form at the auto service desk at Canadian Tire.

Air_Adam

Hey, who went to the Show n Shine today?

I was there with my Z28, and I think I saw CeeDubYa's TA there too.

Anyone else go?

Trevor86TA

Wanted to come, but the car isn't ready yet.

Got my fuel system completed today though. Too bad too, it seemed like a nice day out (in my driveway all afternoon).

Trevor

CeeDubYa

Yep, that was me who waved at you on the way out. Note to everyone, it is a bad idea to spend 9 hours out in the sun with no sunscreen when you're pasty white. I don't think I've had a sunburn this bad in my entire life.

Air_Adam

Haha, oh yea! That sunburn sucked (still does..lol)

You go on the cruise after? I woulda, but I had to work.... oddly enough, I spent all day in the parking lot where I work, and was still late, lol.

Air_Adam

Hey, who here has had an exhaust system made for their car?

I'd like to know because I finally got the Y-pipe for my headers, and now I want to start putting it all in, but I gotta get an exhaust made (no way am I paying $800 for a Flowmaster cat back).

Anyone have any experience with the shops around S'toon? Which shops do good work for a decent price? Which ones should I avoid?

Any help appreciated!

Thanks.

Trevor86TA

Hey Adam...I've had Thane's build a couple of exhaust systems for my car...you can come over and check the new system out if you want.

Air_Adam

Whats the specs on the system they built? What did it cost (if you dont mind)?

CeeDubYa

Who cares, they screwed him over, is we should start a shop feedback thread (if there isn't already) so this doesn't happen to someone else.

Air_Adam

That post was long before I heard about that, lol

Yea, they won't be getting any money outta me and they aren't touching my car after what they did to Trevors stuff.

My boss told me that Kal Tire is a good place to have an exhaust made up for me. That true?

CeeDubYa

I don't think you're going to hear a single bad thing about Kal Tire.

Air_Adam

Good to hear

Air_Adam

Hey guys, check it out... it almost done! Now for headers and exhaust...

Air_Adam

...

Air_Adam

Since the pics, I've rearranged the wires so they don't burn up, got an electric choke, and got a throttle return spring that returns it all the way

Zed'er

Hey all, I am from southern Saskatchewan. Gravelbourg to be exact, a 20 minute drive from "canadiangta" in Assiniboia. I have an 84' Z28HO, L69, 5 speed, T-tops, fully loaded except leather that I purchased recently. I will be restoring it over time, but I will probably have to build my own "L69", lol. It has a numbers matching 305 for the year, but I don't think it is the HO version.

Air_Adam

First off.. welcome to the board

So how do you know its not an HO engine? They were pretty common in the '84 Z28 and Trans Am.

Zed'er

The 305 in there now came from something else. I looked up the numbers, 14010203, and it just lists it as an 80-84 305, car/truck. The car originally came with the L69, but The previous owner had bought it used with a 350 in there.

84Z28_5.7ltr_V8

anyone want to buy an 84 z28.... lots of crap done to it.. anyone interested, pm me.

Dead83

Hey fellow Saskies,

I am in Saskatoon. My car is an 83 Trans Am but it hasn't seen the road in a few years (thus the username). I hope to get it roadworthy again in the next couple of years if I can scrape enough cash together. It's good to see there are so many 3rd gen F-body fans in the area.

See you around,

Trevor Newell
