J-Liss Soon to be self tuned-corn fed stock w-body.

Get that thing some headers, lets hope those pistons are still completely intact.
I'm in the DuPage county area, PM me if you want to meet up or need help.

yea i havent even wott'ed in in cruising, i havent heard ANY KR, but it does have mis-fires i plan to fix saturday, i need to get a guage on this thing and monitor some Parameters. i am doing the plugs this weekend...i should do a compression test, but now ill be scared it sucks lol....the car hauls! i did mini gas wot, and the tires just roast... I have noticed it is running retardly rich, im going to assume its because of cold/plugs and missing 02 sensor.

You should see the 3.8 stocker. Its commonly referred to as "dinner plate" sized.

I would suggest either stock plugs, AutoLite606s, or NGK TR55s. Order some SSAC or Speed Daddy headers, cheap but very functional at (+/-) $200. and then tune her and call it a day.

Shouldn't be any need to do a compression test, you can if you want but usually there aren't any slight problems with the lower end on these cars, either they work or they don't. Head gaskets don't tend to go out either, usually run into Lower Intake Manifold gasket giving out and leaking coolant.

If you haven't read these yet, give them a look over. Could save some questions and $$$ if you plan to do some mods.

really, i was under the impression it would make it run rich(er) as a safe mode, from the secondary 02 sensor not giving any readings to the PCM. (my mazda 3) does this.
 
HA, man i keep forgetting that key factor....this car needs less sensors to work, which is how i prefer.
 


Replaced blower motor, and blower motor resisitor yesterday, i have HEAT now.

Also, got rid of they stupid ghetoo ignition switch to start the car, and installed a push to start button on the car ( i know still ghey) so now the car is push to start.
 
just got my GM s/c oil and coupler, this coupler is only like 2" long i was expecting something big. coo coo
 
Small but so important. Without it you would have metal on metal wearing down, instead that little "plastic" piece takes all the wear for you and its easy to replace. Its amazing the difference between new and old/worn.
 
o yea, i agree, i just expected it to be bigger is all, its all good. they forgot to give me the gasket maker to mate the snout back up. any recommendations?

Also @TLsheff, what rims do you have? any side shots?

Gasket maker? Snout?
I just re-fastened the bolts.
No oil leakage here.

thats what i thought, but then i went on two other forums to see some how to's to make sure this goes smooth, and some are using this type of sealant. let me look it up...

Tube of Anerobic Aluminum Gasket Maker, a few forums used them, although they were on diff shell;s IE regal yadda yadda. so wanted my facts straight.

I've replaced the couplers on 2 separate superchargers of mine and I used a tube of the Anerboic sealant on both and no problems. If you go through intense-racing and get the coupler kit they include it, but most other places do not.

My rims are the Mille Miglia HT3s. 18x8s with a +35 offset. Love them. Need to be refinished, but that are very nice wheels.
No direct side shots, but I have several at decent angles. Could take some side shots if you need.

Unless you were looking at the first set I bought on like page 2. Those are MG Drifters, I got f***ed on that deal, but they are nice looking wheels. Just bent out of shape and hard to balance, so I got replacements.

Links are for my photobucket. Its not as extensive as BillBoost37's by any means, but I'm working on it little by little. Look around if you like. Most of my pics are in my Member's Ride thread. Click the pic VVV
 
anerobic sealer on the snout is what you need. You can't hear KR. Don't beat on it if its misfiring especially with that pulley.
 
yea im feeling those, its really hard to find rims i like for american looking cars. imports its pretty easy. I am realling liking the 06 or so GXP rims the dual spoked ones? i would like to get my hand on those, or a cobalt ss turbo rims.
