I know the last post was 6 months ago but I picked up an adjustable PHB to replace my non adjustable. It's getting close to being fired. Just need a battery and to adjust the rockers, and new plugs.

Finally done with school and working full time. Over the last couple weeks I installed half of my LCA's and took off the Axleback(muffler and tips) and installed a spiral flow and dump. My jacks are completely dead and are probably not even worth it to take it apart and fix.

I've come to the conclusion about 1/4 of my budget is going to valve covers to get my stud girdles in to stop breaking studs.

Did you ever check your valvetrain geometry?

PM sent.

This car is a nightmare. Now I remember why I stopped working on it for a few years. Yesterday it took me 3 hours to install a LCA on the driverside and I had to unbolt basically everything on the rear to move the lca enough for the holes to line up. Something tells me that relocation brackets and the adjustable PHB will really help this car.

On my quest to make this car somewhat less of a death trap I learned how to adjust drum brakes. It seems pretty straightforward and one side should not be any problem. The other side has a broken spring and I'll be making another thread.

The six o clock spring is busted... http://imgur.com/gBO1QqX

Had the same problem, ratchet strapped the axle to a tree near by and tightened the strap until it lined up.

It's basically been on hold for a while because I had no motivation to do anything after work but lay in the fetal position or get drunk. I'll be fixing the brakes by junking the rear. I already picked up a 12 bolt with 3.73. During black friday I'll be shopping for some aftermarket disc brakes, a driveshaft, loop and LCA's.

I'm still working on the motor, the entire valve train is going to be checked and upgraded when needed.

Any update on this?

Way to revive a dead thread :rofl:

Mike are you drunk posting?

Lmao, he commented in the "Winter Project" thread about pulling a motor... wasn't sure what ever came of this project & was bored enough to find out. Sue me :lol:

Junked the project and decided to go full on LS1 Swap. I have a motor from an 01 Trans am and basically everything else except for the fuel system, tuned computer and a new water pump. I also need brake lines for my 12 bolt with LS1 rear brakes. My goal is to have it done by June 1st.

Not sure what your plan is but the oem carb fuel line from the 84 will work, you could also swap to TPI/TBI fuel lines. I have the part nbumbers for the correct AN conversion fitting to 6an that goes on the end if you need.

I'm looking for the easiest long term solution. Part of me thinks a 99+ LS1 tank with a walboro and GTP fuel sending unit. This gives me more anxiety than wiring.

Edit. I just want the fuel level gauge to work and in tank pump basically.

factory TPI/tbi sending unit will work also. 99 and up tank works as well as factory tank.

I got a Wix Vette filter/regulator, TPI sending unit and a Walboro hot kit. Any idea about the fittings I'll need?

How TF is this still going on?? When was the last time the car ran? 2009?

2012. Decided to park it while I finished school. Graduated a few years ago and been saving up parts with what money I have left over after paying bills and maxing out retirement accounts.

Did you get it running with the 400?

Its up to you on where you want to mount it. if you want to make use of stock lines you can mount the filter in the bay. you will need the correct AN lines that go onto the factory v8 carb lines. if i recall the ends are not threaded on those in the bay.

this may be of help

Got the fittings. Bought a grand worth of parts this month and I need to pay off my C.C. before I get the brake lines and cables. Anyone use Flynbye? They have a couple different lines/cables for rear brake swaps.

Only once & it was years ago. Communication was atrocious, wait time was torture, but price was fair & product was stellar.
I intend to use them again in the future, if that tells you anything.

I have several times. You'll never actually get in touch with them, but you'll get what you order, eventually.

Seemed like a guy running a business from his house. I ordered a 93-97 rear axle line and it did not fit. Quality seemed good but I had to re-flare.
