If it doesn't run me into the poorhouse - case in point ( :lol: ) - any new (permanent) wiring I'll do will be with weather pack stuff.

I'd say it's definitely worth looking into the round gauge setup, especially if you already have one. I'd be interested in knowing what the cardboard-wrapped thing is myself, if I remember to, I'll look for it in the harness of my '78. Buzzer maybe?

Yep, sounds like a lighter plug problem to me. See if there's anything inside shorting it out. I had a similar issue with blowing fuses in my Sonoma. The tabs at the + connection in the end of the plug somehow wound up touching the outside (ground). Left the lighter out and never had a...

So I was doing some more browsing and thought of looking for a taillight assembly that a)actually has some aftermarket support, and b) can be retrofitted to a G-Body, likely by a sheetmetal (or other means) housing, that can be mounted in place of the factory lights. So far the closest I've...

I believe it becomes wasted when it's outside what winds up being required. Like Goob said you'd need to consider everything with the valvetrain, not just what the mfr. suggests. They don't know if you're running a completely stock style setup, or some extremely lightweight...

Personally I'd go with a set of relays that use weather pack connections, especially if they're going to be living under the hood. http://www.bmotorsports.com/shop/product_info.php/products_id/503

I think I tried in the past and had the same results. You can also get the brackets for rear discs from Speedway Motors though. Also check out Flynbye Performance for more rear disc options - not as cheap but they have some more options (http://www.flynbye.com).

Do you have a tach hooked up?

Rotors are the same, and it's the same spindle for '82-'03 or so on pickups, '82-'97 for SUVs. Spindle 2100 is what I use.

I could only imagine what a head upgrade is going to do :shock:

It's been a while since I've seen some good pics of your car, I think we need some more! ;) Do you know what it ran w/o nitrous (I see the cam + nitrous = 10s, though I don't know what else was done)?

Lucky dog party_guitar.gif I haven't seen any of those deals yet... checked car-part.com in my area for LS and SBC Vortec motors, they're priced almost the same curse_sign.gif It was just for an idea of pricing though, if it ever comes down to it I'll be checking Craigslist too.

I don't use an impact most of the time, start it by hand, then use a socket/extension as a 'spinner' of sorts because 90% of the time it's easy enough to thread on... go through with a breaker bar at roughly half the torque needed, set the car on the ground and torque to spec.

I've never wondered... I know why (at least for me :lol:), it's cost 8) If that wasn't the case though I'd already have one in the 'Bu \:D/

That's my thought. I was almost positive whichever one he ran down with the impact (at least that I saw) was fubar'd, just from watching him :x Anyway, they made good on the 2 initial studs, and the 3rd I broke trying to install a nut that was already threaded on at least 2-3 threads' worth...

LSx is mostly a general designator for the LS motors, but the LSX block is a GMPP part, purchased bare & you fill it with your parts, capable of up to 4.25" bore and 4.5" stroke (510ci). If I had the beans for it I'd go straight to an LSX and put it together myself to save some $. I believe...

It just has steel wheels, and Autozone's site says 100 regardless of wheel material. Checked for my truck (1/2 full size) and it says 120.

I'm guessing you could contact Osram/Sylvania and they could help you out, looks like most vendors just sell the entire kit.

I used anti-seize once, never again... I stopped because it too much of a mess though :lol: That was one of the nice things I noticed about the caliper brackets though... the sliders were integral to the bracket, and sealed from the elements, so no need to apply anti-seize to them 8) Just a...

Those look a bit better... I like the clear/euro look most but I'd live with the regular incandescent look if I went HID. I was looking through the site and found them, but the picture size leaves something to be desired :P Another thing I noticed is they come with an H3 instead of H4...
