Dude, they've got to carry at least $150K insurance for things like this. If they're worth anything, they'll make this right. Quote Selected

taking delivery on 3mar of 88 tbird sport car transport companies Reply #35 – March 05, 2011, 03:29:57 PM Thanks man,roughly 3800.00 later is on the road.To do list isnt all that long,antenna swapcruise repair (likely the cable in the fender well driver side is broke)sequencial lights interfer with the system (pm'd thunder chicken)shifter is very hard to move, previous B&M was prob done wrong and Privateer installed oem parts but something isnt right.get the correct door codeconsole doesnt latchcenter headlamps are dulldriver door latch is VERY hard to open the door interior dome light bulb is outneeds tires although delivery agent cut the driver front , cant prove but know its true so im not making a fuss on this.verify timing is right, transmission shifts ,,oh,, should i say "too smooth". OD doesnt kick in easily at 80% throttle, gotta fight it.thats about it,, not too bad considering my 20th list was much longer and more complicated. Quote Selected
taking delivery on 3mar of 88 tbird sport car transport companies Reply #36 – March 05, 2011, 09:30:23 PM Wow,, what an evening.timing is good, dead on 10degCodes yield 34 in both instant codes and memory , just this one code. EGR holds vac well.Big F up for the evening= i was dead sure the cruise ctl clip was broke so we got the fender off and its in tact.Moved on to fuses,, lol, good thing none of those were blown. Then I blew through the hose going to the Vac dump valve and it was open. I adjusted it to the closed position with no brake applied. Tested car and cruise still does not operate. To be continued.While mason was testing the cruise, the car held on for him and got him to the driveway but stopped running just out of the blue.We towed it up to the shop and found a previous repair to the fuel line from filter to engine side with rubber tape. I cut the line and intend on getting an inline splice insert to repair it. So, i suppose this is the reason why the engine seemed so slugish, lack of fuel up to the intake. I told mason this should make a noticeable difference in throttle response.moving on to antenna later, gotta focus on the big stuff for now like tail light and fuel delivery. Quote Selected

taking delivery on 3mar of 88 tbird sport car transport companies Reply #38 – March 06, 2011, 05:34:01 PM Well, cruise works,, apparently mason wasnt going fast enough to engage it.Repaired the fuel line with advance splice kits and clamps.Just a word of advice to anyone, the 5/16 line (supply side) **REPAIR KIT** comes with a splice fitting that reduces the ID of your fuel flow by 50%.so,, I opt'd to use my heat gun and heat up the line and force feed the 3/8'' splice kit inside. Few blisters later, its working great and fuel response is better,,much better.down to tail light and antenna repair,, then adjustment of the sequenctial turn signals so they dont cause the system sentry light to flicker with turn.
