    Return line delete possible??

    Correct me if I mis-read anything. So the reason you want to delete the return line is because the return fitting is broken off the sending unit? The TBI has a built in regulator, it is designed to operate with a regulator, and the pump may have a short life if it is run with a regulator that...

    Best valve cover gasket.

    I like to grab the stock orange valve cover gaskets from the junkyard.

    Some thoughts on mods

    I put a steering stabilizer on my truck and it seems to help with bump steer. If you don't have any bump steer problems, I can't imagine you would see any difference.

    Broken valve cover bolt

    Little tiny left hand drill bit and easy out has always worked for me in such situations.

    Simple Mark VIII Electric fan install

    A bearing on the fan started squealing and seized within about 10 miles and I had to go back to the clutch fan. I never actually got much chance to test it.

    My other project- 1989 Base Model Firebird

    I like it, looks cool and it's very easy to read. Bit of a pain to install though. I ended up making a standalone harness for the gauges.

    My other project- 1989 Base Model Firebird

    The exhaust I had built off the factory manifolds has to go now that I have headers. My first attempt was a set of homemade mufflers. The header flange and a short section of tubing with the flex coupling is my "permanent" exhaust. Then there are V-band turbo flanges. The idea is that I can...

    My other project- 1989 Base Model Firebird

    I've done a few things on the car, but with school starting I am a little bogged down. I couldn't get the oil pressure gauge in my Intellitronix cluster to work properly. I tried a new sending unit and everything, so I just got an auxiliary gauge to mount on an A- pillar gauge pod. I cut a...

    Tire Poll

    I have a set of the BFG KO2's on my truck and they are great. Real quiet, good in the wet or on gravel. Really great in snow, too.
