3500 stall and I've checked out the electrical and seems good so far. Slipping in 3rd pretty bad. Everything is new. New PCM??

If that car runs as nice as it looks it would have been in my garage already even at $4,000.

Lot easier and a lot cheaper to just buy this one.

3800 Performance still sells TOG's. He basically owns TOG and still makes them. He even improved on the design some. I bought a set from him years ago and they still look new, man those headers had the best ceramic coating.

I would check that harness closely and clean all three connections. Beats the crap out of dropping the cradle and changing solenoids.

Will it go into 4th? If not its is the 1-2/3-4 solenoid. Bad AFL valve will cause this too, but they usually will work when warmed up but not always. Those are the most common problems I know. GL

I am in and one of the local Grand Prix guys wants to come over also. Don't know wherethe hell Ray is.

Who the hell you calling Celin Mister?

Might have to work on the drag racing as there is a three day event going on at Woodburn that weekend. All bracket racing and maybe we could get in on that, maybe. Better give em a call Paul. I would be in with the WS6, I might haul the regal over for good track prep to go for a good time. Just for ...

I use header wrap on the Buick but that stuff is nasty, and I mean really nasty. Next time the pipes come out(soon) that crap is going away and getting all pipes coated. Get eye protection and a respirator if you put it on. Yes get it wet first that helps.

Buy a decent set of coated headers and if ...

What about changing dates again Matt? I had just got vacation approved for 16 - 20th but I can get it changed. Maybe August or September?

Andrew, did you ever consider keeping the 4T80e in there and just building on that?

What if I turbo Penny? ........

:bstooges:

Why the hell not? Its no more custom tuning than a built L67. Not much custom work to make it fit and you can get a used kit on clubgp for stupid cheap nowadays. Saw a nice one for 1600 yesterday. Just keep it in the 400 - 450 hp range and you will be ...

I've used wax-coated flat twine, the same stuff that's used in aviation for electrical cable bundling (like inside of radios or transponders). Holds the packs together nicely when dropping them in, and a few snips and out it comes. What little remains (if any) harmlessly gets chewed up.

Thats ...

I do my own transmissions though.

Hard to get back together. Haha the guy here uses a coathanger.

Transmission is taken apart now and just about rebuilt. Should be together tonight. We do all the transmission stuff ourselves except the final putting together. We have a tranny guy who does that for us. It cost more than the engine to rebuild for sure. Third gear clutch pack was smoked completely ...

I toasted every bearing in my engine last year so I am getting ready for racing this year and thought I would share. Everybody always says oh just go buy a new used shortblock and be done with it. I decided to rebuild instead. No spun bearing or any ring/piston damage. Something else went south and ...

Check this 96 Bonneville out, now this is bad ass.

I'll buy a keg Bill. Let it flow.

You can throw my 2000 WS6 into that mix. The Regal is not going to make it this year.
