Yep, well it's a starting point...cuz sometimes the code translation is rather generic...but more often than not it will pinpoint your problem pretty well.

 

Probably O2's. I got my own scanner from harbor freight for about $75. Dont like those idiots touching my car.

 

thats true most of them are pretty dumb.....i bought my melling pump from advance. i say i need an oil pump, it comes up and its about $108. the guy looks amazed at how expemsive it is. i said no thats cheap, they usually go for 125+. so he says your gonna need an oil pan gasket, i say no the pump is crank driven off the front of the motor. he looks confused and besides that the gaskets are (supposed to be) reuseable anyway and i walk out. and he was still still standing there with a blank *** look on his face.

 

Dont surprise me. Went into Oreilly's the other day lookin for M1 ATF. "Never heard of it" was the answer I got. I left and went straight to auto zone. They had it.

 

Yea i worked there for a little while they didnt stock it. I had to order me and hilton some when we did our transmissions

 

Are we going to meet at Sonic in Greenwood for the drive down to ETMC event?

 

Thats fine with me Wayne. What time?

 

Does anybody know if I replace the 115 speedometer with a 150, will that also remove the governor?
I've been tryin to look that up for a while but cant get any straight answers.

 

Speed limiter is in ecm not speedo head.

 

If that's the case could the governor be reset or removed using a computer programmer once the new gauge is installed ? Or if worse comes to worst would it be feasible to buy a new ECM?

 

Anna (my 3 year old) and I just ate an ENTIRE Johnny's Sweep the Kitchen pizza. Just thought I'd make that known. I'm probably going to explode soon.

 

Oh, and why would you need a 150mph speedometer? Don't you have an LT1? 115 should be overkill!




I keed I keeeeeed!

 

Well, I make alot of roadtrips over to dallas so I really need the speed to beat the traffic.
Anddddd there's no feeling worse than when the acceleration drops out during a good open stretch of road.
Besides, I wanna get the most out of that engine as I can.

 

that was cold blooded hilton

 

You cant swap gauges, you could used to send your 115mph gauge to Granatelli and they would recalibrate it, and throw their 200mph overlay on it, but I dont know if they still do that. The limiter can be changed with a tuning program like TunerCat.

 

When I say gauges I mean the whole Gauge cluster panel.
Since my Z/28 didn't come with Z rated tires it came with a 115, I'm ordering a 94' gauge panel that is pulled from a scrapyard Z/28.

I'm pretty sure that they can be swapped out.

 

Ain't nutting to it, but to do it. That's how you learn. I honestly don't have any idea with the early LT cars. Doin that would be good starting point I guess. If it doesn't work you still have your old one til you find a solution.

 

Hey Chris how long will it take us to drive down to Pine Valley? What time should we meet up that morning at Sonic?

 

I think it's about a 2 hour drive. Let me check and see which way is the fastest before we set our meeting place in stone.

 

Thought you were talking about something else, that should work tho.
