Well there are a few color combinations that are different.. But they are limited.. there is Chrome with black letter.. Gold with black letter and I think there is a black with gold letter as well. But if you want a color like green, red, blue.. etc.. most of the standard colors have a white letter....

Pop the batteries into it.. turn it on.. adjust the sensitivity knob and put it on top of your plug wire.. as close to the spark plug as possible. See the whitish area along the handle? It flashes red with each spark pulse it detects going through your plug wire. You can adjust the sensitivity so th...

I work in an engraving shop.. I can do custom laser engraved license plate frames with custom colored engraved plates - Frame colors would be Black, Chrome or Gold Chrome. The engraved plate could be pretty much any color you wish, though you would always have a white letter.. example: Red with whit...

Heh.. at a guess I would say its because there are lots of issues with the Automatic Trans whereas there are by comparisson very few issues with the manual trans.. just a guess though ;)

This is a pretty nifty little tool I picked up to check for consistant spark on each plug wire while the engine is running. You can use a timing light to do the same sort of thing.. but this is cheap and you can adjust its sensitivity.. pretty cool little toy ;) http://doityourself.com/store/1796457...

When you have your injectors tested.. (I dont know what unit of measurement the shop used to indicate flow level unfortunately) Normal injectors flow at about 100. When I had mine flow checked I got back 64,91,94,96. And the spray pattern was off on 2 of my 4 as well (this is caused by fuel & ca...

To check for excessive play or movement of the shaft in the distributor housing you will need to remove the distributor to get the best results. After you have the distributor out take the cap & rotor off and grab the end of the shaft where the rotor seats.. try wiggling it left to right & u...

Heh.. hit a welding supply store.. for what those kits go for on e-bay you can build 4 sets of better quality. I bought 6 feet of 4 gauge wire for $5.32.. 16 connectors of various sizes (4 of each size) for $8.00 .. had the solder and the propane torch.. I have only replaced 2 of the connections so ...

Your results are likely too high for it to be a valve issue.. too even as well.. pretty typical of a used broken in engine. If you had a valve sealing issue you would have very low compression in one or more cylinders. My compression test was 183, 181, 40, 180. The burned valve was in the "40&q...

Oddly enough.. my dash lights dont dim when I hit the brakes.. but they do still dim when I switch from low beam to hi beam. This is more pronounced with the more power I have running.. like the heater or my stereo or even if I hit the rear window defroster button. I am gonna check my alternator con...

Is your engine misfiring when the tach goes nuts or does it seem normal? If normal I would inspect your ground connections.. I had a tach on my old nova that had a bad ground and it would do the same thing.

I will also add that there is a black 95 RS in a Pull -a- Part (I think the name is kinda suggestive.. :P ) But the interior was complete minus the center console and front seats.. door panels were nice as was the carpet and rear seats. I dont have to cash currently to scavenge them. But if someone ...
