Good plan. If it doesn't show back up, don't worry about it. If it does, bring it over and I will help you. Like I said, OBD1 is easy once you figure it out. I just have made enough mistakes in the past that I have a lot of it figured out...

I merged centralfloridaf-bodies with SCFBA. Southern Camaro and Firebird Assoc. www.scfba.info Decently busy board. The owner is a great guy that keeps the club on the straight and arrow. After you make a couple meets, you can become a true member with other parts of the forum opened up. Also, we hold an online chat session Thursday nights at 9pm till 11 or later! I am the global moderator, so come over! I will try to keep events posted here too!

I'm swapping back to 3.23's, I have a low mile set out of my 4th Gen. In my old 86', I did back to back testing stock 3.23's vs. 3.73's. I ran about .15 quicker and picked up about 1.5 MPH swapping back to the 3.23's. I wouldn't have believed it if I hadn't personally done the work and raced the car to back it up. My 86' had an 87' L98 long block, small cam, full bolt ons. Needless to say it breathed better than my 91' does currently - and responded well to going back to stock gearing. I expect to drop about the same off my ET when I swap gears in the 91'. I've done the math, and 3.23's on a 26" tall tire will put me right where I want to be with mild mods.

If you want a 3.23 4th Gen rear, my friend just bought a 95' TA rolling chassis that got hit in the front. He would be willing to part with the rear in about a week - if you're interested. The car also has a decent leather interior if anyone is interested in swapping to 4th Gen seats.

Im looking for a 3.42 10 bolt.

I finally got the stupid ecm to read me the codes. I got 32, 36 and 4?. At the 4? it stopped reading after 4 and just stayed solid. I had the ecm fuse out for a good 15 minutes letting it reset itself and thats what let it start reading codes again to begin with. The fuse is currently out again now after 3 failed ecm resets. What I think happened though is when the car is on the on position in the ignition you hear a humm. When the humm stopped thats when the bulb stopped flashing. Connection maybe? I will adventure more.

````````````````````````````````````````````````
Alright I got it to display all codes. It was 32, 36, and 42.

i'm not on the outskirts of vol. county either i need to change wheel bearings on the front when ever i get a chance to buy them. they are starting to make noise . need to to get some extra money together so that i can get sfc's i am dying for a pair of alstons.

3rdGenWillie

iTrader: (1)

i would like to do wheel bearings. mine are org. but no noise. i think the little stuff is gonna puch back sfc till fall. then exhaust in winter.

theimpaler68

iTrader: (1)

yeah they are fairly easy an inexpensive. i got the book to help and i have done it on a ford tempo before. little stuff will always win. mine are original too.

Kwiksilverz28

Bring your car to my house. Wheel bearings are super easy. You just have to get a feel for them.

Buy all 4, and whatever we can reuse, we will. What we can't, you can return.

Cost ya a 12 pack of Bud Light and can of brake cleaner. Includes the grease (I use nice synthetic wheel bearing grease).

ewwewwnotme

Me and Will are planning on heading up to Mikes on the 27 (if thats good with Mike of course) if you want to go to Mikey. Going to get my codes fixed on.

Kwiksilverz28

So far the 27th is looking ok for me. What's another car! HA!

ewwewwnotme

haha yea really. hope your wife doesnt mind us. i hope maybe a week or 2 after then to have my sfc's on. will have to see how the job hunt goes in 2 weeks.

Kwiksilverz28

[QUOTE=ewwewwnotme;3720938]haha yea really. hope your wife doesnt mind us.[QUOTE]

few pics of bottom of plug. installed like factory in raised stamp area of cleaner base.

Open air sucks hot air from under the hood. Search ebay for a dual snorkel air cleaner.

Bud Light is liquid from the gods. lol

1st pic was tbi w/ no base on it. 2nd pic, it's a bird, it's a plane, it's....a shiny part under my hood. 3rd pic is my crack wizard mechanic, Heleana!

3rdGenWillie

iTrader: (1)

i know, we live in fl. hot air everywhere. have removed seal from back of hood. cool air is drawn in. but does act the same once it's nice and hot.

Kwiksilverz28

Looks good. You still have air pump. You have a convertor? It will still be fine, but not heat up as fast without the pump. You can yank the pump with some plugs for the manifold and a different length belt. Really cleans the underhood uo, and does not make that much difference...

3rdGenWillie

iTrader: (1)

yeah no real hp gains but major apperance gain. the little plugs bother me cause 8 little plugs is alot that could go crappy. but am removing this before header swap, to ease install. and time shoot. takes longer for warmup. notice now when cold that motor revs to 2k, but when warm only like 1200-1500, just sounds bad, when cold start up.

Kwiksilverz28

Let's do that the 27th too. I will find the belt spec and what size the plugs. They go just fine, and we can cut them off and make it look good.

It really cleans the underhood...

3rdGenWillie

iTrader: (1)

the devil is tempting me..... ok i'll look into all this. that sounds like alot to do. but then again you sound awfully confident.

970K6, I have one with almost no miles Willie can have. I wasn't going to do UD pullies, but someone gave me a brand new set. So, now I need a new belt. Might as well give the one on the car now to someone who can use it - rather than add it to things I can't use on the shelving.

Kwiksilverz28

Your sig says punched cat. That smog pump is just weighing you down. It is used to heat up the cat at start up. Yank it, replace the belt, plug the holes, and you don't even throw a code. Done a ton of these in my life.

theimpaler68

iTrader: (1)

so far i am in for meeting at mikes we can all go like a convoy. lol. wheel bearings brake parts cleaner, and bud light. hey will if we need to we should stop just before mike's so that it is nice and cold still.

3rdGenWillie

iTrader: (1)

i'll get some the night before. make it nice and frosty

Kwiksilverz28

The 970k6 may work. Buy the right one and keep the receipt. You can return it if unneeded.

Joe gets free labor for my giving him the code 42. I wish I still had my OBD1 scanner. One of you guys should buy one. I paid and sold mine for $50 on ebay.
----------
Oh wait. I wasn't charging him anyways.

86 IROC

iTrader: (3)

970K6 is the correct belt, I've used it on all of my 88'-92' cars after removing the smog pump. No need for him to buy one, I'm giving him one w/ less than 1K miles on it.

I'll swing it by on the 27th and say hello. Gives me a good reason to drive the 2000.

theimpaler68

iTrader: (1)

thanks for the belt info cause i will be needing to get one as well. air removed already. just need to lose the pump.

got 8 1/4 npt brass plugs today, what a cluster. between home depot and 2 disount auto parts, 5 1/4 npt square, 10 1/4 npt hex. went with the hex. easier cause can get wrench on it. although square head ones seem to have smaller opening and less depth in them, ohwell only on till winter. hedmans should be in hand tuesday by latest. will send pics.

86 IROC

iTrader: (3)

Yeah, I left the air tubes on my car for now. They'll be gone when I do the headers in about 3-4 weeks. I got the SFC's and cut out done today though.

Also, the idler pulley I needed for the 2000 came. I installed it and took the car for a ride. No more sqeaks, and the belt stayed on.

3rdGenWillie

iTrader: (1)

post up some pics if u got camera. sfc's, ex. cutout. what headers r u doin?

86 IROC

iTrader: (3)

SLP tri-y's, I deleted the smog tubes and won't be running cats.

3rdGenWillie

iTrader: (1)

sounds good. no camera? finally got coolant nice and clean, flushed heater and engine seperately. not replacing hoses yet. may delete some and reroute others. after air crap is out. ya'll ever hear of 3 piece cat?

86 IROC

iTrader: (3)

I have to load the software for the camera, just got a new tower yesterday.

3 piece cat? Nope, just single or dual cats on these cars.

3rdGenWillie

iTrader: (1)

no, cat media inside. 3 piece like 3 blocks, instead of 2. would be hi flo though, just asking.

86 IROC

iTrader: (3)

Almost sounds like it broke apart into 3 pieces.

Kwiksilverz28

Headers on a 2000? What kind. I have done a bunch now. Not hard at all!

Please tell me that you did not buy the idler pulley..... Ugh. I rebuild, paint, and change them for like $20.

86 IROC

iTrader: (3)

No, headers for my 91'. My 2000 has Kooks 1.75" - 1.875" stepped headers w/ TSP TD's. And yes - bought an idler for the 2000. The one between the WP & PS pullies. It was squealing like a pig, the new GM part seems to have done the trick.

3rdGenWillie

iTrader: (1)

kook's sweet! where'd ya get slp for ur 91? used?
pulled out instr. cluster to look at speedo which has stopped working. guess being elec. the whole unit has to replaced? couldn't access the gears in it. while i had lower dash out looked at VSS what a cluster! Elite Code Alarm VSS. maybe change up to higher mph elec. gauge.

ewwewwnotme

Tee hee. Oh man my past 4 days has worn me out. Ill check that plug tomorrow and reset the codes. Maybe order my SFC's at the end of the week. Gonna see if Coast Chassis Design can do them and for how much.

86 IROC

iTrader: (3)

Yeah, no exspenses spared on the 2000, that's why the 91' is being done on a tight budget. I got the SLP's used from a member here last year. They make more TQ than any other short tube header out there. I had a set on my old 86', it was a night & day difference. I would have went the LT route, but I want ground clearance & cheap for the 91'.
