    Belanger Headers, Corsa, and Plug Wires

    That came from Hennessey. It is really nice and makes HP at high speeds. No longer available.

    Belanger Headers, Corsa, and Plug Wires

    Very true Steve! Make sure your O2 wires run straight away from the sensor, then bend gently to keep them at a safe standoff distance.

    Belanger Headers, Corsa, and Plug Wires

    I'd bet money the orange stuff is probably high-temp silicone sealer. The plugs just might be OE, but they don't look too bad. A little lean maybe.

    Belanger Headers, Corsa, and Plug Wires

    I just put these Taylor looms on my car with Scott wires. The bolts supplied were all about 5/16" too long so I trimmed and chamfered them. I had to double-nut and remove several of the OE studs but they worked out pretty nice IMO. You can order these in multiple colors, 8 or 10.4mm wire...

    Rattling and imbalance on the engine

    First thing to do RIGHT NOW is to confirm that your crank damper bolt is not loose. It isn't easy to get a wrench on, but imperative that you do! Are you having any steering issues too? You'll need a 1.25" or 32mm deep socket and a breakover bar. Or a short one with the right extension.

    $50 clutch slave cylinder hack for the unobtainable 1992-2010 Factory unit and LUK LSC134

    If cost/availability ARE an issue, the purpose of the exercise is to get you to see the wisdom in buying the 002B, then swap the quick disconnect fitting from your existing slave cylinder.

    What did you do to your Viper today?

    6 weeks later, I decided to prep and paint the bare beaded faces with a graphite color. I searched a while for some nut caps to mask 2 wheels' worth so I didn't have to disassemble them for a nice job. Masking the lips took time, but I'll have the other 2 finished this coming weekend if it isn't...

    Car Nickname

    Mine has 2 names: Buddy, or Cold-Hearted Bastard. Depends on how it's treating me at any given time.

    Plugs and wires

    Small wires are just fine *IF* you keep them neatly routed away from header heat. Factory shielding and looms are nicely done, but wires will eventually fail along their length from aging of the outer sleeve. Racing/HDPE puts a lot more heat load around the plugs from exhaust headpipes and that...

    Shift knob replacement on gen 1 car?

    There are 2 wrench flats on the shifter ball base for the smaller wrench. The 3/4"/19mm jam nut is tightened right below it. Just tug down and twist the boot a little over the nut.

    Broken fan - What Now

    Thermal efficiency is better when running warmer within reasonable limits. You just want to be able to 'keep a lid' on high demand heat rejection requirements so that you don't cook things under the hood.

    Broken fan - What Now

    Gotta respect a man who goes boldly against popular wisdom and triumphs. So far, so good. Let us know how it works this summer, and with track loads. Probably going to need some refinement, but you seem up to the task. You do plan to replumb some steering cooling, right?

    parking brake cable broke

    Did the crimped sleeve terminator come off, or did the cable fail in front of the sleeve? Crimping a new sleeve is a pretty easy repair.

    Wanted - Gen 1 OEM Side Pipes

    Moroso Spriral Flow mufflers do an outstanding job of minimizing loudness and still maintaining a deep rumble at idle and not-objectionable WOT levels. This is true even with HF cats.

    Plugs and wires

    If you buy from Scott you get them any way you want.Taylor makes these style clamps that I've seen used on the glass sleeve stuff and they look really nice. I think you can get them in 8 or 10mm sizes. Although I've never actually seen how the studs attach to the separators, I think for our...

    New Radiator from X2Builders

    If your end tanks are still good, just find a local radiator shop that can install a new 3-row core. I did that in January. If it's over about $750, keep shopping. I did a water pump with the FK impeller last summer. It's HAMMER TIME now!

    Plugs and wires

    They are really good wires. I got the 8.5's with fiberglass sleeves. With the early OE open top wire separators, they will fit if your are careful. If you have the closure types, then get the 8.5s without the glass sleeves.

    Side Skirt Screws Loose/Missing

    You should be able to source 1/4-20 galvanized bolts and washers pretty easily for corrosion resistance. The OE self-tappers are galvanized.

    Belanger header and motor mounts

    They were standard pieces from https://thermalcontrolproducts.com/collections/performance/products/stainless-steel-heat-shield-8-x-22. The ones I got were 11x22. I had to make adapters to mount them, cut plug wire and mounting holes and finish the holes neatly. They are fantastic performers, but...
