Well, shes been giving me lots of headaches lately, but I think I got her all sorted out. I was having a problem with the choke not closing and traced the problem to a ghetto eletrical tape repair to the electric choke wire connector. I fixed it with a slightly less ghetto (yet far more functional) zip tie repair! I finally got my 'system' installed except for my Fosgate subs since I'm working outside I gotta wait 'til it stops raining to finish it! The only other interior thing I gotta do is wire up the third brake light since I finally got the '91 hatch on. It will probably be Spring before I can start working on the body/gfx unless I get a garage in the mean time.  _________________ '86 Trans Am - 5.0L TPI - LT1 cam - 700R4 - WS6

Sweet! I gotta check that puppy out! Is it TPI or carbed?
BTW, did you see my car out of gas on the side of 405 last Wednesday?! I was walking up the ramp with my can of gas as you passed me in your '98. _________________ '86 Trans Am - 5.0L TPI - LT1 cam - 700R4 - WS6

Yes, I saw you and then I turned around but by the time I got back to your car, your were gone. I stuck around for a few...thought someone had picked you up since you were gone. Didn't see you with the gas can...sorry.
Oh, and I think I have TBI...I'll be working on it Sat Morning...had the battery recharged and bought some injector/carb cleaner for it. Hope it starts...hasn't been started in 5 years. _________________

I doubt you have TBI 'cause the Cross Fire injection had already been canceled by '85 and the LO3 wasn't yet available. You probably have a carbed 305 (LG4). Let me know when I can come by and check it out.  _________________ '86 Trans Am - 5.0L TPI - LT1 cam - 700R4 - WS6

If you want to come over tonightand check it out, that's cool.
I'll give you a call when I get home.
It is an LG4, but the intake doesn't look like any carb i've seen before. Whatever it is though, I'll have to live with it...lol. _________________

Sorry Bro, forgot you don't have my number anymore! I'm at James' house right now. His Z is pretty nice. It is an LG4. Blue with silver gfx. Definitely a worthy project. What are you doing tomorrow, maybe we can get together. Call me at 253-476-4563. _________________ '86 Trans Am - 5.0L TPI - LT1 cam - 700R4 - WS6
