My car has just developed a condition lately when if I punch the brakes hard/sudden (brake check, emergency stopping) the pedal is really hard and the car pulls to the left hard. Normal and soft braking has normal pedal feel and no pull to the left.

I've done some reading on this issue, and in one thread a lot of people seemed to think a bad solenoid valve block (SVB) could be causing this. Should I buy all 4 new brake hoses and replace them and bleed/flush the system and see if that helps? I just hate to throw money in the wrong direction.

If everyone does think it is the SVB, can I buy and replace that separately or do I have to replace the whole assembly? Is Prior Reman still the recommendation for the whole assembly and how much does that cost? Thanks for everyone's advice. ]]> Technical Forum lanteau http://www.sccoa.com/forums/showthread.php?t=115514 cooling fan problem http://www.sccoa.com/forums/showthread.php?t=115513&goto=newpost Fri, 30 Jul 2010 00:38:05 GMT i had the fan melt while using the a/c. i replaced the fan with a good fan and now it wont auto engage at 190 which is what i got it set at through my q-horse. im thinking the relay if there is 1 between the ircm and the fan might also be bad. heres the problem, if there is 1 i dont know where it... i had the fan melt while using the a/c. i replaced the fan with a good fan and now it wont auto engage at 190 which is what i got it set at through my q-horse. im thinking the relay if there is 1 between the ircm and the fan might also be bad. heres the problem, if there is 1 i dont know where it is. can anyone help me out here. also if thats the case which wire number is it at the ircm that sends the signal to the relay? i have some beefcake relays i would rather use. ]]> Technical Forum slowpoke http://www.sccoa.com/forums/showthread.php?t=115513 valve cover gasket job http://www.sccoa.com/forums/showthread.php?t=115512&goto=newpost Fri, 30 Jul 2010 00:35:11 GMT ok so i'm an idiot, and ive been trying to look up whats involved in doing valve covers for our cars, and either im not looking hard enough, or i just cant find it.

I'm not that much into Vettes, and I don't have one, but it's a fun show, and a great road trip. This year, the show was last Sunday. This was the first time that I really got to drive my SC, since I did my mods last year.

My SC hauled ~~~ up those big hills in the Rocky Mountains. In this environment, it's not how fast you can go in 1/4 mile, it's how fast you can go up hill, at 11,000 feet altitude.

Here's a few pics of the SC, parked on one of the side roads, next to the show. I like to see the SC next to new vettes; it's obvious how advanced it was, for it's time. I still love mine.

I have recently replaced my head gaskets, but the car still doesn't run right. It barely idles and has no power.

After much head-scratching and wire unplugging and replugging, I decided to take the vacuum gauge at its word and check for vacuum leaks. When spraying starting fluid anywhere near the intake manifold, I got the car to rev right up. It seems pretty clear to me that I have a bad vacuum leak from either the return plenum connection or the intake manifold itself.

I used Fel-Pro blue gaskets for the lower intake manifold to head connections. I added a bead of blue RTV around each coolant port. These gaskets have worked fine for me before. As far as I can tell, no coolant is leaking.

I checked the bolt torque twice after installing the manifold. I did not retorque after starting the car, however.

There is one additional piece of important information. The heads I am using are 96-98 Mustang heads. This means that there is one fewer intake bolt on each side ... the one between intake ports is gone. The ports all match up. The bolts are M6, which can only take about 12-15 lb-ft of torque. (Experimentally verified. :eek: :p :D)

I will have only limited time to work on this for the next few days. What do you think I should do? Should I attempt to retorque the bolts without changing the gaskets? Or should I just drain the coolant, crack the engine open again, and replace the gaskets?

If I do replace the gaskets, do you think I should use the SC gaskets again? Or use the Mustang gaskets, which are a different design with molded rubber beads? Or use the SC gaskets again with a bead of RTV around the intake ports as well as the coolant ports? ]]> Technical Forum S_Mazza http://www.sccoa.com/forums/showthread.php?t=115507 Bitch Clips http://www.sccoa.com/forums/showthread.php?t=115506&goto=newpost Thu, 29 Jul 2010 16:41:15 GMT Any suggestions for removing the "bitch clips" on the headlight adjusters?? ]]> Technical Forum Dwitjr http://www.sccoa.com/forums/showthread.php?t=115506 91 SC factory tires and wheels for sale http://www.sccoa.com/forums/showthread.php?t=115505&goto=newpost Thu, 29 Jul 2010 14:56:29 GMT bought this car 3 weeks ago,

Its knocking and wobbling after just maybe an hours drive. The center bolt isn't broken, and I don't see how I could've messed up putting it on. The old balancer was not wobbling and didn't break the bolt either. Upshift light stays on while cranking. I'm concerned it was maybe damaged in shipping. How stout are these? It came in a box with no packing materials.

Edit: I just thought of something... Although the key was present in the crankshaft I don't remember if it ran the entire length!

The car for sale is a 1997 LX, pearl white with Tan interior. It has 290,500 KM's on it. The car has Eibach lowering springs, new front wheel bearings, 16" American racing polished aluminum wheels with Goodyear rubber 225-55-16, still have lots of tread left. It currently has a set of black seats out of a '92 SC, the ones with the thunderbird logo on the backs for the front seats, half leather/cloth. The car also comes with a spare set of wheels, with tires mounted. Also 16" aluminum rims. A spare set of seats will be included, a black leather fold down rear seat, and a set of blue cloth front seats. The AC is still friggin cold, the engine runs very strong & has no ticks or any sort bad noises coming for it.

The car does have a few down pionts to it. It has high Km, the rockers aren't great, there is no carpet, the ABS sensor are broken, the shocks are shot, the brakes need work. I am at a piont with the T-birds that I no longer have the need for one as for my daily driver, and have had enough of them for a while. The car does not come with the 97 stock hood or headlights or header panel. A 95 black hood, with 95 headlights & headerpanel are going to be installed.

I am selling this because I now need a 4 door for the family. This car can be parted out, or driven on the road still. I have been driving this car off & on over the past 3 years, still runs great on the highway with good gas milage.

I am asking $750 for the package, I am a motivated seller with a need for cash ASAP. There is a good opportunity for someone to part this car out, and make a few bucks on the side. I have parted out enough cars during the years. Plus I am still parting out a car as we speak.

Pics to follow in the next post.
