When I'm looking online for parts, there are some parts that say 86-98 GT , are these parts compatiable with my 89 LX? ex. Walbro 255 LPH

92twotone · October 28th, 2009, 11:36 PM

for the fuel pump...yes

baine21225 · October 29th, 2009, 12:35 AM

there are no engine/fuel differences in the gt/lx

if i upgrade from my stock 19lb injectors to 24lb injectors what size MAF will i need?

Core834 · October 29th, 2009, 09:46 PM

why do some people install block plates? ex. IAC, EGR block plates?? can someone explain the pros and cons of these plates?

Core834 · October 29th, 2009, 09:47 PM

you would need a maf calibrated to 24lb injectors, but if your car is stock its not going to do anything for you

so...if the vacuum line that goes to it..is cracked...i'm fine?

baine21225 · October 29th, 2009, 10:42 PM

if you have any vacuum line going to something and it is cracked, the you have a vacuum leak and it needs to be fixed

Core834 · October 30th, 2009, 07:38 AM

kk...i'll have to swing down to a scrap yard...its the line off the vacuum tree, to the egr valve.

baine21225 · October 30th, 2009, 01:07 PM

just buy a new piece of hose and call it a day, it wouldn't hurt to replace them all, they will all crack eventually (prbly soon)

baine21225 · October 30th, 2009, 01:12 PM

If you are not sure what you're doing just replace the hoses that are there justy how they came off

thats a good call...but i'm sure i can find a diagram..and figure the shit out..thats how you learn right.

Core834 · October 30th, 2009, 06:57 PM

is this a good set up for an automatic transmission? Also lets say i do get it..what would be a good Diff and Spline size to get..my power bands around 2200rpm stock.

the ring and pinion ratio dont correlate really with the spline count, thats more for the differential and axles. but the 4.10:1 gear ratio is what i would get for an AOD, gears are in most peoples opinion the best mod for the money

ok so amongst this large ass wish list i made..i've been doing some serious thinkn.. i put my car on the houst today and took a gander underneath...its terrifying to say the least..rusted to shit... theres a crack in my transmission mount bushing...2 holes near both front seats... the stock rubber spring mount is well not really there lol. and theres a shitload of surface rust...front to back..thats just flaking away. SO..now i've got new priorities..since i'm fresh into the military i have limited time to do work on the car..i was wondering if someone thats done frame restoration can give me a rough estimate on how much it'd cost to restore it all... i'll try to get some pictures tomorrow to further show the damage.
