Does anyone have an interest in the front suspension components from the 98-02 LS1 F-bodies? I bought a set a few years back thinking that I would do a quick upgrade but never got around to it. At...

Any way to post some of the info here? I despise Facebook/social media.

Well I found a good shop local in my area that still does LT1 work and got the stripped block dropped off this morning. They are going to start checking it and verify it will work for my build, so...

Since this is going into a different vehicle, you'll need to get the wiring diagram for a 96 to determine which pin goes to what wire.

That site has a...

Well I finally managed to get my old block torn down and just finished sonic checking the cylinder walls. Most areas were above the .300", although I did have some areas that were .250" and on the...

Thanks for the links, I will give them a look.

Well with the stay at home orders here in IL I've been thinking about finally getting around to building the 383 stroker motor that I've been wanting to do for the last few years. I have an old...

You cannot jump pins on your car to flash codes. It does not work on the LT1 PCM. You either have to use a scanner that can read OBD1 with the OBD2 style port or software like Scan9495 on a laptop...

Check your grounds. I had a similar issues a few years back and it was annoying because it would only happen after the engine was hot. Turned out to be the ground cable to the engine had come loose...

Well thank for the info but after a short diagnosis I was able to get her running again without issue and the optispark is still working properly. Turned out to be the PCM of all things, after going...

Well last night I took my 94 Z28 out for a quick spin after changing the spark plugs. My guess is that I probably damaged something in the process, probably on the passenger side where there is no...

I'll take them if you can get me a price shipped to Pekin IL.

I'd be interested in the strut tower brace and the upper passenger side trim panel, the one that right above where the window is on the door, if you still have both.

I had both the panhard bar as well as the torque arm lock nuts set wrong, which was causing the issue. Not sure why I went the opposite way with the lock nuts but apparently I did. Amazing what you...

I got a chance to get under her today and go over everything. Turns out I didn't have the lock nuts set properly on the panhard bar, which was causing it to have some play in it. I could move it...

Well this sounds almost identical to what I'm experiencing. Hard to describe it but you basically stated it perfectly. I can hammer it and it really doesn't feel like there is any movement but the...

Will do. Thanks for the info. Maybe one of the LCAs accidentally loosened somehow and its off just enough to cause issues.

Tires are still stock size, so that shouldn't be an issue at least. I...

Well unfortunately I didn't get a chance to work on my car this weekend. Maybe next weekend.

Yes, all the ends are Del Sphere with the exception of the panhard rod's upper one. Strange...

A few years ago I swapped out my rear end and suspension for a Strange S60 Detroit Locker with Strange driveshaft and Strange adjustable rear suspension components with the Del-Sphere bushings (LCAs,...

I still run an old IBM T30 because it is one of the few laptops with the old serial and parallel ports, as well as USB. But I've been doing tuning for a long time now and I don't want to replace my...

I have pacesetter long tubes and y-pipe on my 94 Z28. Stock height. Never had an issue with clearance on mine.

Another good one that I forgot about. A weak battery that isn't holding a good charge can cause all sorts of problems both reading and writing.

Could be a grounding issue. You can try grounding the laptop to the chassis. I remember some people used to have issues with this on the older serial style OBD1 interfaces.

Another thing to...

Hopefully that will fix it. Might have had just enough connection on the inside still to prevent it from throwing a code and cause all the false knock.

Have you tried replacing your knock sensor? I had a bad knock sensor once that gave me a lot of knock all over the place at random but didn't throw an error code.
