Pick-N-Pull FYI

[TSC89]

Hey, just letting everyone know, if you haven't heard it already. Pick-N-Pull is having their 1/2 price sale this weekend.

[2TonCat]

Thanks Jim!

[TSC89]

No problem. I heard it on the radio over lunch and was already thinking what do I need to get for the blue SC. So, I will be there Sunday morning looking for blue interior pieces and some other small stuff.

[2TonCat]

Hey jim... Do you know what that is thats turned sideways behind the methanol pump???

It looks like the fuel vapor charcoal cannister that traps gas fumes. I had one on my F-250 that looked just like that.

[2TonCat]

Cool, thanks... It ok to have it sideways?

[Nettlesd]

Jim,

If you don't mind, when you find a decent looking SC in the junk yard, can you pick it up for me? If you can deliver it to my house that same day, I'll give you an extra $5 and a cheeseburger. Deal? :)

[TSC89]

Yeah Duane, I will bring it over and put it on a pedastal in your front yard!:D Can't wait to hear the home owners association!

[TSC89]

Cool, thanks... It ok to have it sideways?

I think it should be OK but I haven't dealt with them that much.

[seawalkersee]

No. That is the charcoal canister. It needs to be upright to work. Otherwise you will start getting a c/e light with an evap emissions code for a purge flow sensor.

Ok, I'll fix it. Thanks Chris.

[TSC89]

Well, I had the description right, just not orientation!

[2TonCat]

hehe, I didn't have either! I'll have to do this one through the bumper cover.... don't wanna take off the splash guard again.

Could this cause my missing???

[SuperCharged91]

Lol were is pick n pull?

[TSC89]

The Pick-N-Pull is listed here in Kansas City at I-435 and Truman Road, just north of the Stadiums on the west side I-435.

Could this cause my missing???
Well....I guess it COULD cause it if there was something the computer saw wrong with the PFS and tried to compensate it elsewhere, but it is not likely. Do you have a thread for your miss?

Chris

[SuperCharged91]

**** to far for me to make and i really need some parts

[2TonCat]

Nope, no thread on the miss... Its a mid-rpm (Possibly high rpm) miss under load only. Idles just fine. Only reason I know it is because I was about to do a hard launch, and as I was bringing the rpms up, it was cutting out in a pattern.... The torque converter totally masks the issue. any time I'm actually putting any load on the motor, its spinning soo fast, the miss isn't obvious.

[thunderbird96]

did you get methanol ryan?
who's car is that in the pic

[Melon]

That's Ryan's car..

He's got the meth injection, just not injecting anything yet.

-Melon

[sinhumane]

yet.... and if anyone knows where i can get a cheap used meth kit lemme know.

other wants:

- fuel cell
- stock 89 cam
- sc heads
- used roller rockers in good shape
- megasquirt system, maybes?

[seawalkersee]

Ryan, here is the link for Taylor and they are in Grandview http://www.taylorvertex.com/hp/ . I have an 89 cam Tyler.

Chris

[sinhumane]

'zit from a 5-speed? :)

[seawalkersee]

Yep.

Chris

[Melon]

If your going to swap a cam, why not get a custom grind to go well with the combo of mods you'll have at the time? Sure, it may cost a bit more - but might be better suited than stock cam.

-Melon

[sinhumane]

i'm gonna go for Dalke's FAST challenge next year... the 89 5-speed cam is the most agressive stock one.

next winter, i'm building up a new engine... to handle LOTS of boost... i'm gonna drop the compression to 8:1, a forged rotating assembly, either ported or aftermarket heads, ported intake, BIG valves, roller rockers, pushrods, etc...

right now, i'm gonna just get my current project finished, and my car running reliably with the new intake before the shootout...

chris, you got any heads layin around for me to get off you too? :)

[seawalkersee]

Maybe....But I think you are going about this in the wrong direction. The cam is yours, provided you can do this all on your own. I would just like to see you follow through with a project. Also, we will talk more about the engine build later because I think you can build better power in other places sans low compression and a lot of boost. Remember, too much boost equals extreme heat and will require you to have an additional cooler as well. What are the heads worth to you? You want them stock:eek:?

Chris

[thunderbird96]

im in salina ,kansas in case anyone from wichita wanted to come down

[sinhumane]

i know what the engine build is going to involve, and i know where i'm making the power at... i'm not increasing displacement, ad i'd love to hear your ideas. right now, i'm just gonna focus on getting it DONE on my stock motor...


then i'll build a bigger beastie from a spare JY block next winter. :)

[eli66048]

Tyler, just go with nitrous and be done with it. Posted my thoughts on the other thread.

[sinhumane]

nope. no n02 this time around. :)

[seawalkersee]

i know what the engine build is going to involve, and i know where i'm making the power at...:)

Okay...then fill me in.
