Re: Killed 2000 Vette and 60's Shelby 427 Cobra - Update Unfortunately I don’t have any other videos. I got this one from the Motorfest website.

Did 1993 Ty's have a front license plate bracket from the factory? Thanks, Dustin Winkle

In July I participated in the Northwest Motorfest car show in Boise, ID. Part of the show is a 100' drag race. I smoked eveything I went against except a 140mph drag car which barely got me. They just updated the website for next year and have pics of my Ty on the line with the cobra and a...

Re: Killed 2000 Vette and 60's Shelby 427 Cobra - Updated They use an old traffic light to start the race and have two spotters, one on each side of the track to pick the winner. The only problem is they line up at the start by the wheels, but the winner is whos nose crosses the line first...

Re: Killed 2000 Vette and 60's Shelby 427 Cobra - Updated The nova guy was some old fart who kinda snickered when I asked him to race while we were lining up. He was talking to some buddies and one of them got in his car and rode with him after I challenged him. Obviously he was not...

Re: Killed 2000 Vette and 60's Shelby 427 Cobra - Updated Ok here is a link to a page with the pics. http://myweb.cableone.net/dwinkle/nwmf.htm My Ty is stock, no mods...yet

Re: Killed 2000 Vette and 60's Shelby 427 Cobra Re: Killed 2000 Vette and 60's Shelby 427 Cobra Update: It is a 100' track not 150'. I took pics of the track and all the cars I went against. I will post them as soon as I get them off of my camera. They will most likely have pics on the...

I entered my 93 Ty and my 2000 Vette in the Northwest Motor Fest car show. They have a holeshot contest, just 150 feet, but you can run against 1 of the close to 1000 vehicles there. On the first run down I went against my Fiancee (she was driving my 00 Vette). The Ty absolutly killed the...

Re: Fuel pump not working correctly Thanks guys. It was a bad relay.

I have a fuel pump problem and I don’t know where to start looking. When I turn on the key, the fuel pump does not run. It does not matter how long I leave the key in the on position, the pump does not run. After I crank the engine for about 10 seconds the pump will start and the truck starts...

I just got the new engine installed in my ty. I have about 50 miles on it. I was heading to the store this morning and as I took off from a stop sign the tranny started slipping then heard a loud bang, then no forward gears. It has reverse so I was able to back it onto my car trailer. When I...

Re: Kaboom, screeech One thing to watch for when you get it fixed is the govenor gear in the transmission. I blew out the rear end in my Corvette and it also took out the Govenor gear. If this happens you will not be able to shift out of first gear. The part is only a few bucks. Took me a...

Re: Engine will not shut off Got it. I had a jumper to hot wire the fuel pump plugged in and it was causing the engine to stay running. Thanks.

I just got the new engine put back in my truck and am having a problem. When I turn off the key, the engine will not stop running. It stays running just as if the key has not been turned off. With the key off and truck running, the dash gauges remain as if the key was still on. I killed the...

Re: Remote oil filter flow problem...Help!! I finally got the engine pulled back out of the truck. The verdict was a defective oil pump. Thanks for all the help!!!!
