Re: Another Burb project...another GMT400
Don't go carb. Wiring an LS into one of these is cake... You can lead a horse to water... Carbs can run plenty of power, can be very economical, and extremely reliable. This guy's truck specifically is not my call either way. He is.. We will say, 'seasoned'. I don't think he wants anything to do wi...

Re: Another Burb project...another GMT400
Very nice! A friend of mine (well, he downgraded himself to 'acquaintance' with a neat little trick he pulled with me a couple of years ago, but it was his right to do what he did -a different non-story though) has a same-era P/U, and he is sick of the drivetrain (350 Vortec ~300k miles runs great, ...

Re: The $500 beater Blazer Z69 offroader
Nice work, she looks good! I still have yet to see one of these five-speeds out in the wild, so very cool that you've been able to keep that 'real' drivetrain going despite the shell rotting around it. I think I missed an update or two on this, so I'll book-mark it to myself to go back and catch-up ...

Re: Blower motor fan not working.
Hi EvanH , welcome to the site. Pics might help, particularly of the back of the switch you soldered the fresh wire into, but you've tackled the components already, aside from the relay and the in-dash switch itself... Did you find any components that were definitely bad? I think you are going to ha...

Re: timing chain confusion Quad-4
Single 'silent multi-link' type chain was the second design, double roller-chain was the first design carried-over from the late 1980s Quad Four engines. I don't think I've seen one carried over to the 1990 model-year before, though I've been into probably less than a dozen Quads over the years... T...

Re: 2 potential LS swaps
Its been slow going but progress is progress. Amen, brother! And.. I'm a little jealous! I've been flat stuck on my projects lately... Even the ones I thought would be, er, 'fun' to do. Good to see yours is moving a bit! I had this idea to paint the frame teal stuck in my head for a long time. I ju...

Re: Steering column
Hey, welcome to the site! Sounds like she is a keeper! (The car too, obviously!) I don't have my '92 Grand Am anymore, finally had to abandon it a few years ago, so I can't confirm 100%... But I THINK the N-Body line from ~'92-'96 might match-up, and possibly older into the late '80s? They share mos...

Re: Rockauto clearance
Thank you, I don't work for them either, but I should have bought stock in them, with as much coin as I've sent their way over the last few years (and well before that, actually). I hadn't noticed the thread with their Discount Codes had been locked!? I was wondering why I had to search on the NICO ...

Re: When Owning a Beretta Just Isn't Challenging Enough... NORTHSTAR!
The 282s are pretty good, lots of guys use them in v8 Fieros. I appreciate the reassurance, you have some very solid experience with those guys too. It helps alleviate some worries, because I do have concerns... Yes, some Fiero-Builders have used adapter-plates to mount 350 SBCs next to their 282s,...

When Owning a Beretta Just Isn't Challenging Enough... NORTHSTAR!
Okay, I have a a rather varied career-path behind me, even just in the technical fields I've worked in, from rebuilding motorcycles and tinkering with (now classic) hot-rods in my youth, to jet engines and aircraft (I absolutely loved working on the old Huey UH-1 that was slid-in behind the hangar I...

Re: Am I blue? No, the new car is though...
Should have known you would have that covered. AWD conversion? Is there anything you can't do? :D Fifth amendment. Buuuuut, honestly on this car it would be easy, as all the parts are bolt-in, if I find a donor. Thanks for the props though, I appreciate it, it has been a tough week for me. :friends...

Re: what did you do to your ride today?
Wow, so long since any posting here... I'll just update a little on the Interceptor first, now debating on making a dedicated thread for it due to lack of any activity here and it is Very ofF topic (see what I did there? No? Oh well). I got some seasonal use out of it, but the tires that came with t...

Re: Camaro paint job...after almost 10 years
I always felt like I was taking crap for putting tow-hitch receivers on my Camaros, but I like functionality and versatility in my cars. Even the Third-Gens don't have much available for them, I was lucky enough to find a cheap N.O.S. U-Haul piece for the '89 RS back when I was moving it across coun...

Re: Help relocating ICM in 89 corsica
I relocated my ICM on both my '90 3.1 Beretta and my '95 3100 Z-26 when I swapped-in the 3.4 DOHC LQ1 V-6, both of which use the same ICM as your Corsy. The three wire connectors to the ICM are: -Power/ground (two-wire, pink/black or pink, and black or black/white), -7x Crank Position Sensor (CKP -a...
