Re: 2021 Beretta.Net Calendar - WE HAVE A TIE!

" Are forums really that confusing these days?" Probably not. I'm might be just kind of stupid as you implied. But I've also been pretty busy. I had to put my cat to sleep two weeks ago, I had him 15 years, he was a great cat. I nursed him these last 4 months with subcutaneous fluids, pres...

Re: So what's everyone else into for hobbies

I used to fly U-Control and later, RC airplanes. I last flew RC about 30 years ago. I had a couple daughters and I was busy in my business and so I let them sit. My gosh, the U-Controls have been hanging there for probably 40 years. I see homes of older people and they seem to be full of clutter. I ...

Re: Silverado build 3.0...or should I say 8.1

Yes my old station wagon had a th400 in it but it was the long-shaft so I couldn't use it in my 68 Camaro. Sorry I didn't see your comment until now. That is an appropriate name form a camping trailer. It brings to mind wide open spaces and countryside to spend time in. On the other hand, I was joki...

Re: Mini Van from hell

Thanks for the input. It always seems the older stuff is better then new eh? My van is exempt from emission testing but if I had newer, it has to pass and would not with an SES light. I guess you don't have to test? On my daughter's 96, the SES light for the convertor was due to head gasket leaking....

Re: Silverado build 3.0...or should I say 8.1

Nice truck. A lot of nice touches you've added. It's not too loud like some guys do. That Impala reminds me of the 72 Caprice wagon I used to have. The 400 BBC engine from it, is what is in my 68 Camaro now. All stock. I wish I had your energy. I'd like to put TBI on the 400. Nice touch with the muf...

Re: Project 91 "SS" 3400/5spd

Interesting video. Again, I feel sorry you messed up your car. I hope the repair goes well and soon! When I've had rusty brake lines blow out, gravity drains all the fluid out. Unless air to displace the fluid can't get in under those bellow like things in the reservoir seal. Maybe some gunk in the ...

Not so tough Alternator

One time, after I bought this car, it's 2yr old battery died, (no crank after sitting a few days). I thought maybe the previous owner let the battery sulfate, it otherwise seemed fine. I bought a new battery and put it in. Since I wasn't driving the car regularly, I kept a float charger on it. Now, ...

Re: Limp mode

You need to first get the code for the SES light. Autozone can read that code for you.
That will help determine what is wrong. Otherwise it a guessing game.

Re: Mini Van from hell

It wasn't fuel pressure related. I did check that out and replaced the pump about 30k ago. This FPR is a simple spring, which I inspected. The van drove and ran fine yesterday so I'm optimistic that it was the EGR that was bad. I still have to get it up to 55mph plus, cruise and see if I get a SES l...

Re: r12 to r134a convertion...? Is this even factory...??

The 13289 kit doesn't seem to have adapters, it looks like valves and caps only. I had bought a kit from Interdynamics which had a screw on adapter to go from threaded type connector to the quick click type connector. The high side kit looks like what you need to add a high side port. The cap is bla...

Mini Van from hell

I've had my 94 Lumina min van towed three times now. Most of my other cars have never been towed. The latest was the result of a brand new distributor's ignition module dying suddenly. I replaced it a month ago while trying to find the cause of a surging at cruise speed which felt like a misfire. I ...
