If I was to fix this, I'd do it much like with fiberglass, but with wood glue, sawdust, heavy paper, and solid wood. I'd mix Titebond III and coarse sawdust to make a paste to fill in the big holes. The outside vinyl should hold it, but I'd make sure that doesn't bulge or get lumpy. Then, I'd...

This is good hose for oil, and is available 3/8" ID. You don't need PTFE. https://www.pegasusautoracing.com/productselection.asp?Product=3290

Do you still have the factory pressure-based oil cooling system? If so, you should replace everything with a thermostat-based system.

Rock Auto has several choices for the top hats, front and rear. The rear rubber spring isolator is molded into the hat, which is why you can't find it separately.

Here's another idea I got from bleeding the clutch in my '04 350Z after I replaced both cylinders. Try as I did, I could not get all the air out of that system doing my usual routine using a Speed Bleeder. What I ended up doing is this with the stock bleed nipple: 1. close the nipple 2. depress...

Just my opinion, but this is an expensive part to replace just because. You can easily test yours once it's out. I replaced my tank a few months ago, and it's really pretty easy to drop. It almost took longer to pump out the fuel that it did to drop the tank. There's a drain plug for the...

Well, I'll be. Nighrun has the sender... for the moment. Does yours not work?

Cars before November 1987 had metal bar links front and rear. After that, everyone got plastic links in the rear to keep the tabs on the arms from breaking. Everyone always had metal links in the front. Someday I may get to measuring my stock front links for you. I haven't had a rear bar for...

Because I messed up the line exiting the fuel filter, I changed over to a bigger filter with -6 AN fittings on it. I'm sure I'm getting less resistance than the stock setup, but it's working fine even in 100F heat. I will say that hose from Nightrun is pricey and not really necessary for a GE...

Too bad Energy doesn't include stainless steel tubes in their bushing kits. :rolleyes:

That caster is way off. My car is slightly askew from being hit on the driver door (before I bought it). But, it can be aligned within spec: caster is 7.1deg L and 7.6deg R. Since your toe and camber are set right, your tires should be fine long term.. The rest of your alignment looks perfect...

I have never seen forms to fill out, but I have read the TSRM. Everything you need is in there. There are tables of values in the Service Specifications section towards the end.

From memory, the only difference is the GTE block has oil squirters and a second knock sensor. Pre-89 blocks typically had a 6M crank, 89+ a 7M crank with a slightly lower redline. Heads are the same between the two, but the cam shafts are not. Browsing around the EPC for a while will show other...

Does the cygnus TEWD help at all?

I looked at my old emails from when I found a shop via eBay that recovers wheels, and I believe it was Dallas Custom Steering Wheels that did mine. It was over 10 years ago, and my eBay history doesn't go back that far. The listing is long gone. They did a great job and it has lasted very well.

You should look under the window molding along the bottom of the rear window. I believe there may be holes there where water can get in.

Ha! Yea, that step would be for the open differential only. They also don't tell you to put the transmission in neutral. If you're putting the old ring gear on a different differential case, you should expect to have to change the side shims.

Differentials are singularly the most picky thing to put together on your car. Being off by 0.001 will make the difference between a long, quiet life, and whining and grinding itself to powder in short order. The pinion and ring gears must be aligned just right with respect to each other in 2...

Since you changed out your radiator, it's unlikely you left any debris between the radiator and AC condenser. This car like to collect leaves there which will block air flow. That said, how clogged is your condenser? That will also block air flow. Do you have the engine undercover? That will...

The block decking does/should do very little since you typically only need to take off a few thousandths of an inch, just enough to get rid of the gouges made by the crappy stock gasket that squirms around and chews up the deck. More material comes off the head because the gasket chews deeper...
