::cough:: 3 months ago ::cough:: ::cough:: off-topic ::cough:: Well, that may be true, but I know many of us chat about SYTY topics via ICQ and/or AIM. I hate having multiple programs running that do the same thing. I found Trillian today and thought it might be useful to others. Excuse me for...

http://www.trillian.cc/ Allows you to use one chat client to talk and all the different chat services. This will allow you to log on to ICQ and AIM at the same time using one application instead of one for each. Enjoy,

I believe Gabe Estrada has done this recently. I think he ordered a new set and they were somewhat different than the orig. I think it may have been one piece. Gabe you out there? Want to shed some light on this for us? Later,

Hey all, Tomorrow should be the day. I'm planning on cranking the Ty up for the first time in 18 or so months. I did a check of the electrical system and computer tonight. (No smoke!) Hooked Datamaster up to it and recorded some with the key in the "on" position. No error codes yet and all of...

Al, Your email @hotmail is bouncing. I'm in need of some info/prices on your tie rods. Need to replace one of mine in order to get my truck running. Need to get a set from you. Email me please... dourtyb@missouri.edu Thanks,

Who/What company in MO? If its close I could check it out and see what they have to offer. What is the stock ration on a TY? A Sy? and the ZQ8?

http://www.s-series.org/htm/tech/GeneralEngineSpecs.htm From s-series.org Break down by year and engine as to HP and Torque output. Questions is, is performance based on HP alone, 1/4 mile time. what? I think I'd rather have a late model Vortec 4.3 than a vin Z from 95 back. Excluding the LB4...

Jill and I will probably be there. I think we can fit it in. I doubt we have the Ty with us, but there is a SLIGHT possibility that it could make the trip. Most likely, we will have the Impala, not quite the same.

Ok, this has been a great thread. I'll be moving the wedge to the top before I start driving this thing again. I'll also check the driveshaft angle at the tranny and rear end to verify that it isn't too far out of spec. Thanks all for pointing this out.

Ok, I'm missing something here, what's wrong with the way the blocks are installed? All I did was add the blocks. The wedges were already there. I don't see how putting the wedge on top of the block would make a difference. The position of the axle would still be the same wouldn't it? <font...

http://www.missouri.edu/~dourtyb/baer/ 3 pictures of my setup. 93 phoon. 2" blocks. rear baer kit. Blocks are made by bell tech. The parking cable is TIGHT to say the least. Probably not ideal, it rubs on the shocks, but has lasted thus far.

Not the shocks silly, the blocks. I think the blocks are made by beltec. I don't use aim. I guess I need to. I'm always on ICQ though.

Not sure what brand they are. I think they might be beltec. I'll double check this evening and measure them just to be sure. I'll take a pic or two while I'm at it. Like I said, I might be wrong. I can't remember, so I'm not 100% sure.

I've got 2" blocks on mine with the Baer rear disk kit. My ebrake (or parking brake) works fine. It really helps my truck from running away while it sits in the garage with no engine or tranny (your pick depending on the day). It wasn't the easiest thing to hook up though. Forgive me if I'm...

I'd suggest finding a new crank. You don't want to make the crank any more weak than it already is by grinding it down. I believe our crank is just a standard 4.3L crank. Someone correct me if I am wrong. <font size=-1>[ This Message was edited by: dourtyb on 2002-04-03 09:27 ]</font>

They make adjustable ones by taking a bosch and cutting the top off, then adding the adjustable portion of it. The stock FPR is a bosch and is not adjustable.

If you are replacing it, replace it with an adjustable one. Its not worth pulling a stocker off to put a stocker back on. It will give you alot more flexibility with tuning. I got mine from Rockford Racecraft. There are quite a few places to get them though.

I know its too late, and you have already done it, but a set of line wrenches will really help getting the fuel lines off. Less chance of damaging the high dollar sender unit. On a side note, has anone replaced the feed lines with ss hose? What about wiring to the pump? Good idea to replace it...

Minimum or Maximum weight/height requirements? <GRIN> Daron, I think you are too tall to race. IMHO! Can you still use the 10 sec KB chip in the stock class! What a riot! <font size=-1>[ This Message was edited by: dourtyb on 2002-04-01 16:21 ]</font>
