Any of the gurus have something different they are giving their spouse for VD? Candy and Flowers are boring. Dinner and a movie? Known her since kindergarten married forever. Need ideas.

JD - there is a buyer's guide in the tech library. Kevin also has a post in the racing section for drag times.

As far as step-by-step posts, I have personally made one with pictures for replacing a brake booster (in the tech library) as well as my entire rear end swap process. Once I do my engine removal and replacement, that will be documented, as well. Several other members have posted their trials and tribulations for various other builds, including PeteK's incredible transmission rebuild threads. The information is there and available, so I honestly don't know what you mean.

I find Guru to be a bit disappointing considering the knowledge base that is here. IF as much effort was put into other areas you would have a better site. When you have senior members who know these cars inside and out spending their time trying to one up each others avatars and commenting on that weeks half ass porn pics you don't do much to retain membership or grow the site. That's my .02 anyways.

I am not sure how to help here. We answer what is posted. Short of starting posts in advance of a question, I am not sure what we can do to improve this aspect.

Discuss.

I had that hose to hook up on my 95. The same hose went to the stock filter housing, but was too short to reach the fitting on the SLP housing, so they included a coupler, short hose, and two clamps.

I think a cars significance in it's time is what makes it a collectable down the road. The ZR-1 is a perfect example of this and I feel will eventually go through the roof. The record setting runs, the first and only DOHC 32V Corvette. The tremendous amount of press coverage, the K.O.T.H. moniker and the buzz when they came out. They sold for thousands of dollars over sticker. The Grand National GNX is another one, tons of press a V6 turbo Regal that would give Mustangs and Corvettes fits right off the showroom floor. It was a significant vehicle in it's time. The Countach of course it was the wildest looking thing on wheels. Look at whats collectable now, history repeats itself, Yenko, Baldwin Motion, the LPE cars might do something similar eventually and the Callaway cars certainly should. Thta's my .02

I agree the ZR1 has what it takes to become collectible as does the Callaway and Buick Grand National but time will tell. Who would have ever guessed a VW Bug would be worth so much?

Maybe it will be cars like the original '83/'84 Rabbit GTI's that will bring big $$$ if all original in the future? A historically significant car in it's own right as they terrorized autocross courses in the 80's/90's but I don't think anyone put them in moth balls. Same with the Dodge Omni GLH Turbo's remember those?

I'm sure if you wanted help with the project I could whip up some ideas...you like white tubing to connect your TB to your air box?

Oh, and Oreilly brand engine degreaser will make plastic and rubber hoses shine like new for weeks. Simply soak a rag in it and run it over the hoses you want to shine up. It won't harm the rubber that I know of.

Hi John, The rad shroud cover came from a company called Kirban Products if I remember correctly. All of the decals on the factory shroud were obviously installed by a drunk at the factory. Rather than remove them I put the cover over them.

when I was planning to top my 405 with an LT1 manifold I had this made up. It fits the mouth of the TB perfectly, and I was going to use silicon and some set screws to hold it in place. The round opening was large enough to run after market polished tubing and a MAF. I paid over $100 to have it made but I don't have a use for it. If you think you can use it I'll sell it to you cheaper.

I don't think you can screw up a hole that's 3/8-20 by running a 3/8-20 tap through it. How could ya ? A tap is for cutting new threads agreed however if it's the same size as the hole it will just clean the gunk out. Sounds like you need a Heli-Coil set now which will fix you right up. I spun a bolt in my Dana 36 and a $10.00 Heli-Coil set later and all is well. GREAT STUFF !!

If the threads are screwed up, there's a good chance one of the edges on the tap flute can catch the "bent" thread and try to start a rethread that's a bit off, the tap digs into the points of the existing thread and cuts them out leaving threads thar are dimensionally smaller that they should be or cuts the old threads totally out. I've done it and had to go to a Heli-Coil.

For cleaning out a hole where the threads are fine, you're right, the tap won't do anything but clean the threads.

I agree that Heli-Coils are great, I have a bunch in the shop.
Also, I did a thread months ago on thread inserts that are way better than Helis but they are also expensive.
