    I search and found zilch........

    I have a '97 LSC with the JBL stock amplified system. I mentioned in a thread at the beginning of the year I was having issues with the stock system with no reply, so I just figured I'll pose my question on its own. I plan to dump the head unit and CD player in the trunk but, for now, run the...

    High outside temperature causes faint fuel odor, and reluctance to start.

    Old thread revival. I get gas smell and bubbling gas out of the filler neck. Purge solenoid? '97 LSC so it's under the back corner? Lost nearly a gallon of gas from this episode.

    Gushing out gas!

    Big Red Custom Longtubes

    When I had my '93 base, I had a guy here in Vegas do a Cobra header fit for my car. He had to do some minor work to the driver side primaries to clear the steering shaft. He also fitted it with a Flaming River slip style steering knuckle. Coated the headers, deleted the 3rd cat, blocked the...

    Why .048 gap on plugs

    I figured it was because those running .048 had boost of some kind and did that so the spark wouldn't blow out. So would .050 also help with a high mileage engine?

    LTFT is weird......help!

    Just changed out the lower manifold gaskets and the IMRC to head gaskets. Cracked the throttle body mount gasket. Ordered a new one from Rockauto.com(Fel-Pro) since not one dang store here carries them in stock. What is the name of the oval shaped gaskets that go between the throttle body...
