4ag short oil filter adapter

As I was installing my new header from Martelius. I noticed that my late model bluetop 4ag had an extended oil filter adapter/standoff. I'd imagine this was due to the fact of this car originally being power steering to allow easier access to the oil filter. The extended oil filter adapter just didn...

Re: fix distributor code 6, check engine code

Make sure to not rule out the air gap for the distributor on both rotors. Check that after doing a ohm test. Good luck!

Re: 4age with 272 cams and carbs

You sure your accelerator pump is working? sounds like a flat spot from instant flooring. Again I would double check that you have spark and that it isn't blowing out/losing spark at that rpm/load. Idle jets shouldn't have anything to do that rpm. What's your whole set up? Pictures would be cool as ...

Re: 4age with 272 cams and carbs

Sounds spark related. I would double check timing and make sure with a timing light that you aren't losing spark at that rpm/load.

Re: AE86 Cusco 6 Pt with Carbon Fiber Doors

To be honest, the ae's stock doors wouldn't be much safer than the carbon fiber doors if you were t-boned. The metal isn't too thick and doesn't have a real support behind the door skin. If you're taking passengers, a newer car would be much safer/practical. Personal opinion though. I've seen countl...

Re: Hood pins

My stock hood latch failed at one time. I blame it on the latch not locking down probably due to it being a tad tweaked, it flew up at 15mph, enough to bend the hood, roof, and hindges. Even with properly working hood latches id get hood pins if the car will be driven on track or any spirited driving.
