I don't like flex hoses if they are not needed. In the "ABS delete", the flex hoses just provide convenience for the install. Fabricating and installing hard lines requires tools and patience. Hard lines don't expand with every brake application. (The cheap imported SS line that these kits use...

Syclone or Typhoon? If its a Sy, If you don't increase the front rotor diameter, you're going to have too much bias to the rear with the addition of the rear discs. It'll be dicey in a hard un-expected brake application. I did a complete 2nd Gen transplant into my 93 Typhoon. Fronts, Disc...

There is no wiring for the mirrors in the basic harness. It all has to be added. The factory installed mirrors had their wiring included in the cross-body harness (which is sepreate from the rest of the IP harness.) that also has the power windows and power locks in it. 3 wires to each mirror...

Here, Mike: I saw this on a video years ago taken at some mud-bogg thing in the South. We don't see this stuff where I live.

I also used 1992 S-10 as my model and year on rockauto. Using this application, I was shown both fuel sender choices, because both the TBI and CPI engines were offered at the same time in 1992. Using 1991 model year doesn't surprise me that only the B is what is shown. The listings go by engine...

Here's a post I found. Looks like "FG06A" is for a Sy. But I don't remember anymore. I used to know this stuff from memory. Use it or loose it. I looked at the rockauto offerings. There are two different senders one for the high pressure PFI engines and one for the low pressure TBI engines...

I wouldn't fret over the way the cooler flow is plumbed. The entire left-side tank is water-out, so it should be roughly the same temperature from the top to the bottom of the tank. The right side tank is the one that may have a temperature gradient in it. Off topic, learning opportunity: The...

I've done 6 installations. Even my DD POS S-10 has electric mirrors. It's easiest to do if the Inst Panel is removed from the truck. Getting the wires from the driver door into the cab is fussy to do the right way, but if you're ok with drilling a hole through the metal and butchering the...

Valve cover. Oil pressure sender. Distributor base. Intake manifold "China Wall". Most likely the valve cover.

Tonight, I was looking through ancient files in my archives looking for a certain pic. I came across this pic. Thought I'd share. 3 Marlboros and the PPG all in the same room. There were also 20+ Syclones, 30+ Typhoons, and about 15 TTAs in the same room. Was an interesting afternoon.

The oil lines are an ongoing PITA for every long-term SyTy owner that is still running the oil lines and remote filter. Some owners abandon the lines and cooler and go to a block-mounted oil filter. I have not. I feel that the oil cooler IS beneficial. There are replacement lines available from...

D3 is the best selection for the transmission. D3 applies the over run clutch which takes some of the strain off of the fwd sprag. The sprag is what busts.

Picture day? This one is from my back porch in Fall of 2013. There are 3 Syclones and one Typhoon in this view. The Ty is in the background under its cover, the third Sy is in the trailer. I don't remember what's in the garage, but something is because the C4 is outside. The F150 Harley truck...

There are 6 pieces of cladding that sell for $400-$600 each. Plus the bumpers and support. So yeah, I can see where $2,000 isn't enough.

If you did not pre-fill the oil filter, pull it off and look in it. If it now has oil in it, you have oil pressure. I access the oil sender by pulling the distributor. Total PITA, but there's no easier way to do it.

The bushings are GM PN 15531832 The pins are 15660361 The circlip is NS. You'll have to find one in your stash or a c-clip assortment from vatozone. The bushing has a note; "Drill 9mm hole as required".

As far as I know, there isn't a deep filter to go with the deep pan for a 4L60. The old deralie with the tubes in it, the stock-depth filter was held up into the pump because it sat on top of the tubes. So the filter pick-up was still at the stock height. What's the gain? This has come up in...

FJB Here's another part of the problem. The national debt is about 30T. At the current interest rate, service on that debt is about 350B per year. That's peanuts, and a big part of the inflation problem: "Borrowing money" doesn't "cost enough". When the rates go high enough to get this...

This is madness. I used to spend time and comment on BaT. My interest waned after the sale to Hearst Publications. I don't know exactly what the fuck is going on over there now, but I have an idea. Even the town drunk can tell that we are in an Everything Bubble of proportions never seen...
