Re: Mini Ram, Vig Torque Converter, Mini Starter

palric,
the mini ram intake and f body fuel rails are still available. The intake itself is $700 but you will need the f body fuel rails to use the intake. Those are $200. That $900 price listed in that posting was for both the intake and fuel rail.

Let me know if you are interested. I will ship it at my cost anywhere in the continental US if you buy it.

I'll offer 500 for the torque converter. Understand if you don't accept, but it's all I have.

Re: Mini Ram, Vig Torque Converter, Mini Starter

Red there is no 5 digit number with a letter. All that is on the side is the 10G. If you meant on the top, and by top that would be the side that slides into the bell housing part of the tranny case and attaches to the shaft) then there are three sets of numbers 2868, 715, J0 with the last character unreadable.

Why are you asking for this number sequence?

Are you interested in the Vig?

I'm looking at two used converters, yours and another on a different forum. They are both said to be Vig/Precision purple converters, and Tech at Vig states they all have a 5 digit code, which was exactly what my old Vig had. If your does not have it I cannot confirm the stall, age or re-stall availability.

Re: Mini Ram, Vig Torque Converter, Mini Starter

Red, I understand you wanting to confirm what is being offered. The first number I gave you, 10G, was stamped on a small piece of metal that was attached to the side of the converter.

I bought this converter about 5 years ago from Thunder Racing and have never used it. As such it does not have the free re-stall any longer.

EDIT--- I just spoke with Gene at Thunder Racing to see how far back they keep sales records(7 years by the way). I spoke to him about the converter and asked him about the 5 digit number; and he stated that the number is on the back of the converter and not the side. By back that would be the part that bolts to the flywheel. He stated that the number on the converter would be 259715 (this is the number they send to Precision to get the converter built). Gene also sent me a copy of the sales order showing what I bought and what part number was sent to Precision Ind.

I will take a look at the back of the converter when I get home tonight and look for this number that Gene gave to me. Also, if you would like to see the sales order I can email that to you. Just send me an email address via PM.

Thanks, that information is what I asked in my original reply IE: "flywheel side".
I will send you the email address.

Re: Mini Ram, Vig Torque Converter, Mini Starter

Red, email sent.

Also I went back and looked at your post about where you indicated the number should be stamped...you did in fact state on the flywheel side...sorry about the confusion.

Re: Mini Ram, Vig Torque Converter, Mini Starter

I'm questioning on the fuel rail. I understand you mentioned it's brand new. Is this different than the standard TPI fuel rail? Nitro-Nicky

Re: Mini Ram, Vig Torque Converter, Mini Starter

neagan the fuel rail I have for sale is for use with only the Mini Ram and is different than a fuel rail that would come with the tuned port intake setup that was standard on TPI based engines used in F body cars.

Re: Mini Ram, Vig Torque Converter, Mini Starter

I am interested in the Mini Ram and fuel rail. Will it come with the stainless steel hardware, throttle brackets, waterneck, MAT sensor relocation kit, and a pair of 1204 intake gaskets. (The fuel rail kit includes a pair of rails, -6 AN in and out fittings, adjustable regulator, crossover tube with o-rings, four stainless rail bolts, a fuel pressure test port, and custom length stainless braided lines for 85-92 Camaro/Firebird for direct hook up to factory fuel lines.) is all this with your fuel rail kit? I would want this shiped to Red Hook New York.

Thanks Scott

Re: Mini Ram, Vig Torque Converter, Mini Starter

Scott pm me an email address and I will send you pics of the mini ram and fuel rails. The intake is complete (throttle cable brackets and water neck) minus MAT relocation kit and intake bolts (i.e. stainless steel hardware) as I no longer have those. The intake bolts but can be purchased from ARP and a MAT kit from TPIS or AC Delco.

The fuel rail is complete and is attached to the intake as you will see in the pictures once you provide an email address.
