wow, i feel like i havent logged on in forever, and its been only what, a week? lol.
not too much new here, last wednesday a buddie came over and after talking for 5 minutes he was able to diagnose the problem i've had with my monte... torque convertor lockup, i guess its controlled by some dumbass sensor that is bad and isint letting the convertor unlock properly.... and unlike an OBD1 car, the same sensor also controlls 1st gear and OD, so i cant just unplug it like an OBD1 car could. figures! but im still happy to know what the problem is, so that i can fix it evenutally......
but.... it would seem that my intake gaskets gave way last thursday morning, it puked about a gallon of antifreeze after driving about 5 miles. used to take a week or 2 for that to happen, lol. good thing i have the truck to run! so im thinking of shooting up to harry's u pick it & getting myself a 3400 UIM & LIM & throttle body to swap on when its apart for the gaskets. probibly also do plugs & wires while its apart & the rear of the motor is more accessable. we'll see...

wow, space the TA looks pretty nice.. funny thing, my buddy just sent me a message lastnight about a 95 TA that he's is thinking of buying. It has 65k and the same specs as the one your buddy is looking at and t-tops. The guy selling it wants $6500 but my buddy said he would take $5000 for it.
ps: space, thanks for all the help / words of encouragement you've been sending my way, I really appreciate it

alright, I just uploaded the photos from my Photo op to my garage.
It was indeed a mini shoot, but I didn't really have time for much more.
I have noticed the forum s quite quiet this weekend. I guess that means its a good weekend.

Afternoon all! I am just keeping an eye on the kids while the wife runs out to the store. Not a whole lot of good info on the Powerblock today. They did a neat how-to on turning a fluorescent light diffuser into a tail light lens though. It has been raining all day and it is a little chilly so there isn't too much I can do in my garage.
