Fuel octane is a big deal if there is a compression change.

Re: Wiring issue Brian I need your help!

Yes, higher compression calls for higher octane and generally colder step plugs.

But a flame front is still a flame front.

How about you both come by and argue over an open hood? I'll supply the beer and nachos and pepperchino.

Yep. it's to the point that #8cyl doesn't fire when it's cold. Tomorrow the Russians take a whack at it. Tree fitty.

Re: Wiring issue Brian I need your help!

Egg... you missed the cash for clunkers trade in? Tsk tsk.

Dump that decade-old Durango to a charity and deduct fair value from your income tax. You do pay income tax don't you? If not never mind.

Brian wouldn't have appreciated my '64 GTO. Tuning it up before the Woodward Dream Cruise was almost as entertaining as burning 200 foot patches of rubber in front of the sidewalk crowd. Gas Tires Oil - GTO...

Oh I do appreciate it. I just don't like to have to do it for an everyday driver anymore. I still spin plenty of wrenches. No hot rods at the moment though.

My Dad had a 67 GTO. That was a cool car. 283, 3 speed.

Todays cars can plant the power better though but there is nothing like a 3 block posi burnout.

Re: Wiring issue Brian I need your help!

You can still do that with late model hot rods... just turn off the traction control and/or stability control buttons first. Warning: Do not try this with a 500+ HP Z06 Corvette or you might fishtail off the road.

Egg should try that with his clunker: Floor it in neutral then put it in drive. After laying a 20 foot patch his transmission will drop out on the pavement. Then he will finally have to buy a real car or truck.

Note: GTO's had 389's - then 400's in 1967. A 283 is a Chevy small block... aka 327 and 350. Big blocks were 396, 427 and 454.

Re: Wiring issue Brian I need your help!

Notice that solar steve only wants me to buy a new car so his gravy train won't dry up. yep my income taxes still pay for you to be a bitter redneck in fear of the sky falling.

Only a fool would trade in an auto that's paid for...or someone that skipped basic math.
