Is there a way to lube the throw out bearing without taking the transmission out?
Nope. Time to pull it apart and replace some parts

Pretty sure I have good front inserts and a set of rear struts I'd be willing to part with if you're interested. I believe the fronts are KYB and the rear are Mookeeh

"This listing was ended by the seller on Mon, May 26 at 12:52 PM because the item is no longer available."
Well, that's interesting

If I was closer I'd come fill the truck!
Edit: I didn't know you sold the car, quitter! 😁

Let's hope they show off at least one SQ!

Impressive work Kev!
I played hell trying to get mine straight and get the passenger headlight to open/close smoothly and line up close. I can't believe you were able to pull that rail and get it so close without cutting and welding it up. Factory fenders were not made equal. Putting new to me fenders on mine did not line up well at all compared to the beat up stock fenders, which I later found out had been cut and rewelded to fit the terrible frame repair done way before me. I got rid of the hard lines for the oil cooler years ago and went with -an fittings. No regrets.

Will it free rev in neutral past 3500?

I wouldn't put a lot of faith in the stock temp gauge. They have been known to be inconsistant over the years. Grounds are likely a good place to start though. If you haven't already found them starquestgarage.com has all the wiring diagrams and the manual shows all ground points. Cluster and engine grounds would be my first go to, then start to clean body grounds. Any weird misfire or hesitations?
When it high idles while warm, are you running the AC? That can kick things up a bit.
-
Sounds like your coil may be getting weak.
-
The stock gauge is just a guide line. But if it isn't going high, you're probably fine. There are 2 thermoswitches on the bottom of the radiator for the fans. You can ground the wire there to test the fan operation. The sensor can be tested with a meter and boiling water if you want to take it out and make sure it works.
At 7psi boost should not be an issue. Have you verified the vacuum and mechanical timing advance is working?

Welcome Aboard! I know Hellrazr well. He went TN to PA and 5 years back I went PA to TN. Nashville is about 3 hours off for me, but I'm local ish. As for parts, I don't have a lot of extra stuff. Good luck with the project! If/when you need some help let us know 😃

Power automatic seatbelts were only on U.S. spec cars. It was part of the passive restraint rule if you didn't want to fit the vehicle with airbags at that time.
I suppose that makes sense. Thanks for the info!

I lost that ball when changing out a trans before. After a while I said I was going to put in a toggle switch. Then I actually investigated and found the issue. It could be as simple as the connector just isn't connected anymore. Have you been under the car to take a look at the wiring to that switch? That's where I'd place my bet.
I assume you have never had reverse lights?

O man .. hate to hear this! I'm sure someone in the area has you covered. I'm not sure if the guy who bought all of John's (starquestrescue) parts still has much, but I can contact him if you want.

Nick! Hey there ol buddy!

Seems like a lot of work for something a lot of us don't want lol
Neat project though!

Sold for $15,000 👌
I saw that. Solid price for that car. I feel bad for the last owner, but the dealer made out great. I guess that is his job
That Element auction though... I guess just because low miles and people lose their minds. Hard pass for me

They do show up once in a while. You might be better off getting one of the other manifolds that have been make. CPC (i think) is who made the one I have ready to replace my magna. There was a group buy on FB a while back. I believe another one is in the making. Christopher Miller was running the buy.

Skullzaflare had it and was working on rehosting a while back.

Nice. I have considered doing something similar using a GPS module for speed and the ABS pulse for wheel speed. Then tie that back to my ECU for traction control. The VSS signal is likely to be more accurate (as long as you aren't spinning). I use a Garmin GLO 2 GPS module for datalogging already and it is pretty darn good at 10Hz refresh rate.
-
What are you doing with the signal?

I did that the first time thinking, it can't be that heavy, I have room. Then I was stuck with a trans on my chest and no room to slide myself out with the trans.
I did NOT have room and it was heavy enough to be difficult. Lessons were learned 🙂Floor jack is 100% the way to go. Even easier if you have a low profile jack.
