  1. Or how about a writeup forum? One that's basically locked other than for proper write-ups. I might write some-what biased tech articles if I had a place to put them.
  2. Check the resistance on the sending unit, if it checks out (0-90~ Ohms, IIRC), then the gauge is fubar. Personally I don't care if the gauge doesn't work. I clock my tanks with the trip-ometer or go by the feel of things.
  3. It's easier to build long arms than it is to convert to front leafs... So, anybody who ever thinks that front leafs are easy, well, think again.
  4. Huh? He has crossover? He can go SOA without steering mods then.... Unless he's running the inverted T setup that JCR sells (which I think you mean), and then it won't worth worth crap SOA.
  5. This is gonna be ugly. In order to get hat much lift you're going to need a seriously arched spring (if I had a pic of my waggy springs I could show you what I mean, and they are SOA) or REALLY low hangers. I'd recommend looking at a different steering setup... What's he running? Inverted T? Because you can make a lot of lowsteer work with SOA other than inverted T/Y setups, basically.
  6. Don't even ask...
  7. Wouldn't. Too low of rate. Will be scary.
  8. Hmm, nice uh, 'easy start' feature. Actually looks decent, IMHO. And I've delt with people that speak worse english. My biggest concern would be the title/liscencing associated with it. After all, he might be the guy who stole it...
  9. Is that a real 10" lift? Not an 8" that sits high or anything? Think I could get a good side shot...? (Trying to figure out what height I'm actually at) Oh, that thing is really clean.
  10. The reality is that there isn't going to be an easy way to do this. If I was to run a SBC/SBF I could have a propane setup cooking in about 20 minutes. Impco 425's and OHG 450's are easy to find, and often come with the adapter for either the SBC or SBF. Tanks are still up in the air. I'd like to put 2 in, one on each side of the rear driveshaft. Obviously, the stock gas tank would go. I'm not having huge luck junkyarding tanks that are of the ideal dimensions yet. Although, if I wanted to run a single 200L tank, I could go one right now...
  11. It's a mystery to me why they are marked in the first place. After all, the 88 olympics were in Seoul, South Korea. Why did DC care? I have no idea. But I've never seen an 88 in Canada that is marked as such.
  12. Oh, 300A's are ment for dual fuel use. It doesn't have a throttle control on it. I could actually mount it to a dud carb if nothing else, but I want a slicker package than that. I'm might build a TB on the lathe at school... If nothing else. Or I'll keep looking for a Impco 225, as they're a lot easier to deal with.
  13. My 35s have about a pound of copperheads (copper coated lead BB's) in each of them. Smooth as a, uh, well, hell, it's smooth. (Oh, the copper rubs off the BB's really quick. I use copperheads because it seems hard to find the pure lead ones now)
  14. Okay, so, I fixed those spring hangers... Image Not Found Image Not Found I think it looks good. Now just to get some steering on it, and build my @#$%ing rear driveshaft. (My buddy will be doing it shortly) Oh, and some gears in that axle would help... (Another buddy) As a side note, anybody know of a good way to say, bolt an Impco 300A mixer to a jeep throttle body? Or a throttle body that I can bolt to both the impco and my jeep manifold? The EFI is gonna go...
  15. I had to give mine away...
  16. Well, I can tell you that the Canadian versions (and any other export nation) did not get any such markings.
  17. I'd give it a shot, just as it's cheap. At least, in comparison to running another gear ratio. That said, I've found the 2.5L to be gutless beyond belief in all of my experience with it. Long as you don't care about 1/4 mile times or plan to do any hardcore offroading it should be liveable though.
  18. I think he means he has a AX-4 or T4, not an auto... (But, don't ask me anything about 4cyl trannies)
  19. It's an 88, that's all. IIRC.
  20. Well, generally I recommend getting rid of the D35. Or welding it.
  21. No diff tag? Should have been one stuck to the cover.
  22. Jesus man tits. How do you feel about mis-matched bolt patterns?
  23. The wire colours aren't always right in my 89 book with an 89.
  24. Very hard. It's not a gasket, per se, but they've actually glued it in place with polyurethane. I tried cutting it out with piano wire, then heated piano wire, then I gave up. It only cost me $10 for it to be professionally removed...
  25. They be chrysler... The AMC manual is the 86-87.
