Do you remember who the thread starter was, CC?

I thought that at one time I read that extraction of crude in the US becomes profitable at a certain price point per barrel. Are we not passed that price point? Come on boys, lets fire up those rigs. Refineries, let's freshen up and expand your production potential.

Thanks guys! I got my parts ordered up yesterday.

Ray, I'm downloading your PDF as we speak- at 190MB something tells me it will be very useful! Thanks!

It would be better to change them first, because they are gas charged, and will try to effect the ride height.


BUT.. it's all sort of pointless if you're running on original bushings. Those things will fuse together and bind up, or just fall apart. Even if new gas shocks raised your ride height, the bushings might let it rise unevenly. Or they might loosen up 3 weeks after the shock install. They might crack loose while the car is on jackstands and find a new binding position...

And if you're gonna pull the bushings out, then you've got easy access to those old ball joints and tie rod ends. Anytime you change those you need an alignment...

And you see how suddenly you've got the entire car torn apart because you just had a leaky shock.



Anyways, put your new shocks on, hit some speed bumps, head to the alignment shop, and call it a day.

About the only thing anyone is promised is a chance. Some get a head start, some dont...but they get a chance none-the-less. I for one plan on taking care of myself and my family.

Hey Ray,

How do you make links like that?

But thing is.......a lot of the members; that I trust know what they are talking about, are over here now.

It still feels like home over here, because so many are the same people, who were over CF before the "changes" took place.

Your impressions are what they are, but I wonder why dont they make the ZF for Vettes anymore?

If I curse slowly the 2 miles out to the highway, the water is at 150 and the oil may get to 100.

I think I'll go buy a new PS3 game tonight. Just doing my part!

It would be nice to see home sales rise a little. I have some friends that just got into the home building business. They built one, and cannot build a second until the first sells...

Just a note from a realtor I know locally. She has sold 9 homes in the last two weeks. That's showing signs for improvement, at least for her. I have a friend in Boston closing on two condos they're buying in Hyannis Mass today. Turn baby turn. Everybody, go buy something. Let's not ditch the economy. I'm going out to buy a new printer.

Take it to a radiator shop and get it done right.

I have a pin hole in a cross fin on a race car that came from crash damage. It spit out a very small stream when hot. Since I still had to get out on the track, I covered it with JB Weld. It fixed the leak. And, it's been 5 years and it's still not leaking, amazing.

Again, take it to a shop.

JB Weld is the shit.

I had a bolt hole on the right head, at the very front, gaul out. I was beyond pissed... I tapped it clean and after a few tries with a helicoil, gave it the final hit. The hole was bottomed, and I didn't have a bottom tap. I cleared the hole one last time, took the helicoil and coated it in JB Weld. I then took a stud and coated it in JB Weld. I screwed the stud in as far as it would go. 24 hours later, it held a 25 ft-lb torquing.

Ask Jr Rifle Coach if it's still there.

have any idea where I can order a new gasket set for my LT1?

and btw how does that happen? just wear? and could that explain losing a lot of oil? thanks!

The part number for a 95 is 12556260, the description indicates it comes with bolts and seals, GM Parts Direct shows it as still available. PM me for a copy of the parts CD if interested.

years and take a look at the mounting rubber. If it's cracked, they're old.

New shocks are inexpensive, and they'll put a big smile on your face.

I'll take a set of inexpensive QA1's. Do you want my shipping address to send them to?

So much for anyone wanting any tech help from him.

CSS996: there is a Bullitt edtion Mustang coming out this year. Dark green with the correct wheels and no emblems. Saw it NAIAS, pretty cool for a Ford.
