Re: Runs better with Crank Sensor Unplugged
the HEI mod was done several months ago, ran fine for quite some time. There's a CEL code now for most everything that was unplugged: knock sensor, coolant temp sensor, TPS, and...crank sensor (02), but there were no codes at all prior to pulling said sensors. the plug wires were purchased from eBay...

Re: Losing Power Steering belts + Timing question.
Thanks Patdiesel, but the timing issue just turned out to be the crank angle sensor. I haven't gotten a new one yet but unplugging the faulty one lets me get around for the moment. surprisingly, i didn't notice the difference at the time i replaced the water pump. honestly the pumps were considerabl...

Losing Power Steering belts + Timing question.
Lately I've been going through some power steering belts. Uncertain about the cause, I have simply been buying cheap belts to keep me going while telling myself i'd get to it later. This time, the belt broke just before pulling into my neighborhood a few nights ago. Thinking it not a big deal, the f...

building a custom box into the sides of your car would be fairly easy, but the problem is having the knowledge to do it properly. the best solution would definitely be to build the back of your enclosures with fiberglass, then seal off the enclosure with a solid front of MDF or some other composite ...
