Re: site VERY slow

PAINFULLY slow. 2-3 minutes is a minimum time to get a page on this site to render.

This is the same issue I complained about some time ago, but no one else saw.

Glad it's not just me now...

Re: Brembo Brake Rotors

I bought a pair for my 95 from TireRack,.com several years ago. They were nice pieces once I got them. But..... They didn't fit. They were machined incorrectly. There were lugs cast into the back side of the rotor that had not been machined down and thus would not clear the ABS sensor when I went to...

Re: photo blog

Gotcha! Sounds like a good project. I've been thinking about a 365 project myself. It would only be taking 1 photo per day though.

Re: photo blog

Just for clarification....

Are you trying to take 5 shots each day and post them or post 5 shots each day that you have taken?

Re: My new toy!! It's a Ford Though....

That's a tailgate party van! Time to head to a football game or a NASCAR race.

It failed inspection because it was rusted? WTF is up with that?

Re: Astro 4.3 VinZ fuel cutout/stall problem

Which one did you replace? It's my understanding there are two on these engines. One that give a reading to the gauge on the dash and one that goes to the ECM.

Is that right guys or am I off?

Re: Astro 4.3 VinZ fuel cutout/stall problem

Unhooking the return line, from the rear of the TBI unit the right line, and blowing through it should tell you. I kind of doubt that is it though. If is was 13psi and not some huge number you should be fine. I have a modified TBI with a vacuum modulated fuel pressure regulator on my 89 9C1 that I r...

Re: Astro 4.3 VinZ fuel cutout/stall problem

Doing that kind of driving test with a TBI is going to be hard. I doubt that his pump is weak given he sees 13psi, which is the upper limit of TBI pressure. Oh wait a minute. I just had a thought.... what's that thing inside the tank, between the pump and..... the pulsator? Also I just dug out my FS...

Re: More pics of my 95 astro

You know instead of getting it painted.... Maybe you should invest in one of those vehicle "wraps" and put logs/phone numbers for your detailing business on it.....

Re: What did you do to/with your van today?

Sorry about that! It had to get done before the rain hit. My legs were sticking out from under the van, getting wet from the sprinkles as I was tightening everything up. Oh and my wife says I have already paid karma many times over with my bad luck in years past on projects like this. She said it wa...
