    Typhoon claddings wanted

    Don't waste your money on fiberglass cladding unless it has been previously installed and the fit and finish are known to be acceptable to you. At one time (perhaps 25 years ago) it was a suitable alternative to factory pieces for the more sought after factory parts that were expensive and...

    Paint correction / ceramic coating

    "Paint correction", the way I understand it, is to apply clear coat over the existing finish to provide material thickness to color sand and buff without getting into the original finish which may be fairly thin. An original 11k mile Ty probably has paint in pretty good original condition...

    Havnt started my 11k mile 93 ty in 3 years

    Drain the gas and refill with new prior to turning the key on. "Drain the gas" is easy to say, tougher to do. I do it by putting a hose on the fuel rail and running the pump by introducing 12V to the test terminal on the firewall. Run the pump until the tank is empty. 3 year old gas shouldn't...

    Shifter cable attachment stud

    That clip is very similar to the clips that hold the metal ends of the rubber brake lines to the frame brackets. They may be the same. Those should be easy to find. I can't guarantee that this will work, but it's worth investigating.

    Checking the market...

    Modified SyTy have historically never commanded as much interest or sell for what unmodified original SyTy sell for. The only modified Sy I recall selling for decent money was Rob's (Wyoming Syclone) Sy on BaT during the spike in interest there a couple of years ago. Syclones have always been...

    not another Brake Upgrade thread :-)

    I did a 2nd Gen front and rear brake transplant into my 1993. Complete rear axle from a 1998 4X4. Changed the master cyl to 2nd gen, and disabled both valves in the combination valve. With AWD, it is difficult to lock up only one wheel if front/rear proportioning is off a bit. Cost me less than...

    Transfer Case Viscous Clutch ?

    It doesn't appear that STE Couplers exists any longer. Does anyone have a source for a decent rebuilt coupler? I have 2 trucks that need couplers. Thanks.

    Power terminal for fuel pump

    From memory, so this may be incorrect: Pnk/blk, grn/wht, gry, orn.

    Power terminal for fuel pump

    They probably aren't. I purchased a really nice non-running Sy years ago that I got running fairly quickly, but it had no power. It ran smooth, but absolutely couldn't get out of its own way. 3 injectors on the same side of the engine were not flowing any fuel. (The firing order is one side...

    Power terminal for fuel pump

    Yes. The post next to it with the red wires is battery voltage.

    Power terminal for fuel pump

    True. But the relay in the pic is not the Fuel Pump relay. The FP relay is outboard of the brake booster. Has a gray wire in it. (The other relay is the A/C clutch relay, has mostly green wires in it.)

    fan shroud needed

    It may not be. I amended my post above.

    fan shroud needed

    There is no difference between the SyTy and the LB4 upper shroud. (There is a difference for the L35 upper shroud, but it can be modified for the SyTy.) The lower half for SyTy is the same for all 4 wheel drive, 4.3 1st gen. The 2WD lower won't work at all on a 4WD. If Phil questions it, I...

    Need a little help Dash wiring

    Hi Neno! I was wondering what progress you had made in the year since I got your wiring back to you. Yes there are "assembly manuals" and documentation/instructions to the assembly plants on how to build and what parts to use. I have some of these for Corvettes, but have never seen any for the...

    Shifter cable

    C4 Corvette is the correct configuration, but about 15" shorter. I doubt it can be made to work in a SyTy. Too short. I measured a SyTy cable I have in my stash: Eye to eye is 40" length, and from the cir-clip groove to cir-clip groove is 28.5".

    Solid motor mounts

    I don't give a fuck what anyone uses for mounts. But thanks for your 2 cents in a 3 month old thread. The OP in this thread has moved on from broken motor mounts. He crashed it.

    "Any Typhoons out there running?" There. Fixed it for ya.

    Max boost with factory boost solenoid

    What do you need "boost control" for? Pull the waste-gate hose off and leave it off. You'll hit 30+psi.
