:screwy:

I took the car out for a run. In an instant, the car died,like lost spark and fuel pressure. Then after about 20 minutes, it starts and runs and does not happen for a while. I have a 91 z28 with a 350( Modified! ) It seems like it could be the EST overheating but it was changed out. Distibutor is kind of old but I don't know if it's that. I can't trace this problem. Could someone offer any suggestions?

:disappoin

Probably the fabled ignition control module in the dizzy cap. Do yourself a favor, spend the extra $ and get a Delco replacement. Knockoffs will get you on the road again, but not for long.

I would guess that something dealing with your ignition system is heating up and failing to deliver spark...

i would say that your cigerate lighter has turned to the darkside and is trying to corrupt your engine computer, throw it away an buy a cellphone charger, youll thank me later :smokin:

Or do what I did, put a neon light in your car that is just hooked up to the cigerate lighter. It makes people want to race you more, so no downside and it keeps you awake or atleast me.

mmmmm much fear i sense in you, your vision is clouded by the darkside my pawdawan learner, meditate on this i will! (neon sounds like fun)

Yes they do, they even look just as good on a black Z.

Which makes me ask, why the heck can I "not" post images?

Hey wrightz28, got any idea where i can get those rims? They look really good on MYZ28's car and would look badass and my black iroc. Don't know why i never noticed them before.

i posted a linkup for Hawk's F-body parts before when someone was asking they're opinion of wheels.

They're GTA wheels from around 89-92. So there's a 3rd gen. site out there, Hawks, swap meets and boneyards.

Just emailed hawks to see what they offer for a set of 4. Damn, i just never noticed how good they look. I'm getin goosebumps man.

Yeah, I'm trying to get the gold one's off a Bonneville now for my Buick. Has those stupid locking hubs that do nothing but rattle spin and cut the valve stems.

89, i love my iroc rims, i wouldn't get rid of them. I just really like those GTA rims, i didn't know they came in black. I just like them, (still gonna get them). Wrightz28, what kind of "networking" are you talking about, can you hook me up?

wrightz28
07-26-2005, 11:12 AM
C'mon dude, networking, like job networking, trying to find a beater car you know.

Somebody knows someone that has what you need to get or get rid of.

by the way, those rims come in every conceiveable color you could think of, they come in spray cans :)

"They come in spray cans" ROFLOL!!! Thats some funny s***!! Wrightz28, hawks doesn't have them, but i found this junkyard in NH, about 2 hours from i live, they may possible have them. They are just not returning my calls :banghead: .
