Haha yes indeed
Thanks everyone for the input. Turns out the wiring to the otterstat fell down and was resting on the exhaust system. So it had burned through the jacket and was occasionally making contact with...
Was driving down the road and all of a sudden the tach jumped to 6,000 and stayed there and the voltmeter and oil pressure gauges went to 0, but the car was otherwise running fine. I started to head...
If you're able to record the sounds post it up here. Maybe hearing it will give me some ideas.
Hmm I don't think your noise is the bearing noise being discussed in this thread. This problem is very distinct and it's basically impossible you'd hear it when moving in a straight line. It will...
That's correct, as far as I know none of the vendors provide a different bearing that specifically addresses this issue. If you know of a machine shop in your area that can produce the shims it...
Ha you know what, you're right! Ironically, the bottle of fluid I bought to do the clutch hydraulics has a cap that is a perfect fit, lol. Thanks so much!
Does anyone know where I can buy just the small cap for the clutch reservoir? The vendors just seem to sell the entire bottle assembly. Is there a cross-reference part that's more available? I...
Hey Joe! I think you were right to order some shims, I would have done the same. I don?t think you can count on those chonky aluminum LCAs to compress like the OEM stamped steel ones would.

That old broken link to the dmcnews.com site about the battery strap routing was an excerpt from my own site from ages ago. Here?s an active link to the page in case it helps anyone else down the...
LS swap time ;)
Seems pretty specific to me, right down to the fuse size and type. And it is a legitimate issue that affected many cars early on from what I understand. I'm not sure why Dave gets so much flak around...
I just had a set of Hankooks installed and the tech said the same thing, took a lot of weights to get them right. Initially, they thought a couple of the wheels were out of round but after closer...
I thinks it's also recommended to apply red loctite when tightening these nuts. It's been on my list to do for years. A friend of mine had this happen twice. No fun.
There's a plastic bushing between the column crumple cage and the shaft, that could be cracked. And as you mentioned there's are 2 halves to the column that slide in and out. On mine there's excess...
They don't call them "dreaded previous owners" for nothing! :)
Those connectors seem to be problematic. I think a lot of people use zip ties to hold them on.
Doesn't require anything too special, just put it in ammeter mode (with the leads in the correct sockets as well) and disconnect the + lead going to the battery. Connect one test lead to the battery...
Only thing I'd add to the above is to consider poly for all bushings. I know a lot of people will say the ride is too harsh and to only do a couple of them like the sway bar or trailing arm. But I...
As for the fuel pressure issue, since that still seems to be a problem(?) check the little oring on the primary pressure regulator in the fuel distributor. If it?s bad it?ll let fuel drain back to...
I never really understood this upgrade. I?ve had my axles off a couple times, most recently a few weeks ago and never really had a problem using a regular socket, even with a bulky impact gun. The...
Ah bummer. Do you remember how long (miles) the bearing compound lasted before it failed? Or did it never work? I’m surprised the shims didn’t work, my understanding was that’s the ultimate solution...
Interesting, I've never heard that. I have an earlier VIN so if there were improvements made during production I likely don't have them. Do you remember where you heard/read about there being a...
Yep definitely the bearings, this has been a well established problem with our cars for at least a couple decades. It doesn't affect all cars and there are other sources of "clunks" but this was...
Then you’re a lot smarter than I am haha
