Re: RE SD Shelby valve cover gasket question
Yeah, It can be a bummer when the gasket slips out. I had a 2 inch chunk get crimped off ob the back side of my GTC when I put the head on last fall. I had a heck of a time finding the leak because the oil was everywhere. I even changed seals on the passenger side of the engine because the thing was so saturated. It only took a split second to see why the thing was leaking when I popped the cover off. My gasket was blue. I'm so careful with stuff like that I can't believe it slipped on my when I installed it. It was so nice to clean the driveway and have it stay clean after that.

Re: SD Shelby valve cover gasket question
Hi, Just get a gasket for an 89 turbo cover. I'm guessing all the covers from 89 and up are the same.You evidently got a valve cover from an 89 CSX. All other Shelby covers would have the other style gaskets. (like the one you removed) You got the one everyone wants.

Re: SD One-Piece Valve Cover Gasket?
You should be able to find that one piece gasket anywhere. As long as you say 89+ valve cover gasket, there aren't any other options. (At least with the turbo covers) Now whether they're any good is another story. I've had OK luck with any I've bought. They can be tricky keeping in place the first time you use them, so make sure you can snap the thing in place without bumping anything on the way down. Maybe a bit of RTV in advance would help.

Re: SD 86' Shelby Charger Part Out
Location? -- Original message -- From: chris blanc [EMAIL PROTECTED] I have an 86' 2.2 turbo one (silver/black) that I am not sure what i want to do with at this point. My options right now are: Fix the car to sell as a running car, sell as is, part it out, or get the $200 my local junk yard is giving for cars right now. This was my first car and I've had it since 96' so I hate to junk it. It has been sitting for years and I just pulled it in my shop because I have to do something with it or it is eventually just going to start rusting away. The car is 90% rust free but needs new paint and some freshening up inside and out. The car has 140-145 compression in all cylinders as of yesterday. It needs a logic module to get it running. I had this car when I was 16 and had the hands on skills but no knowledge as far as diagnostics goes so I gave up on it. I think all that was wrong was a vac. leak and something in the logic module... Idiot!!! There are many new parts mileage wise...front CV shafts, Front pads/rotors, Bosch alt., some bigger radiator from another dodge (it was so long ago I forget), used replacement tranny, plugs, wires, cap, rotor, air filter, fuel filter, fuel pump, t-belt, motor mounts.

Re: SD Value of Shelby Vehicles
Well said, I'm just thankful the prices are low. I love the cars and more than likely will NEVER be able to buy another Challenger R/T. It was easy when I graduated in 1974. I got my 87 GLHS for $1,500 a year ago. This was after a guy I know bought it off ebay and made at least $400 profit. I was happy to pay that. This car had 50,894 actual miles at that time. It needs paint and a bit of work, but it's pretty solid. I do have my 1968 AMX. That's my REAL muscle car. I got that 22 years ago for $425.00. The time to buy those really rare cars for a cheap price was just a few years after they were made. I looked at a HEMI Challenger R/T back in 1974 or 75 that had 25,000 miles on it. I sure wish I had the $1,500.00 at that time. LOL, If I only knew then what I know now.

How many times this has popped up over the years on SDML I have no idea, but does the phrase starting with if I had a nickle mean anything. Sorry, but I gave up on the value and now hold onto Shelby Lancer 249 (just turned 54,000 miles and I'm the original owner) and the 85 GLH Turbo (53,000 original miles) because I like them, not because they will ever make me rich enough to retire to the French Riviera or even because they really are the original tuner car. And no Mike, it really has nothing to do with age. Do a little historical analysis and look at what the value of a 1965 GT 350 Shelby Mustang or a 67 GT 500 KR was during the mid 80s when they were only 20 years old. Sure, they were not at the ungodly prices they bring now, but they were already 3, 4 or 5 times their original sticker prices depending on condition. A car that was $5,500 new was going for well over $20,000 and even a beater 65 GT 350 H (the least desirable at the time) rusted all to hell with a replacement drivetrain was worth $10,000. I know, because I tried to buy one for $8,000 in 1985 and got turned down. Our cars? Sorry, I have never seen one exceed the sticker price (even new, they didn't sell at sticker unless it was the 1986 GLHS) It is all about the supply and demand. Why pay $600,000 for a 71 purple Hemi Cuda with no options and dog dish hub caps? Because they only built 15 total that year and only 4 are left and there are at least 10,000 people that want to buy one and 100 of those guys have real cash with lots of commas. Maybe, just maybe, when only 4 Lancers or 4 GLHS Chargers are left, they may be worth a little more, but I have no idea how we are going to create a demand even as the supply shrinks. It probably won't be because of a Movie. I don't think Back to the Future increased the demand for Deloreans. And Christine didn't make late 50s Mopars more popular. But Bullet did a lot for the 67 Mustang. Why? People love MUSTANGS. People have no love for our Mopars. Not even the MOPAR people have any love for our Mopars, and that is the worst shame of all. We are shunned by the Shelby Lovers and shunned by the Mopar lovers, so here we sit with our Shelby Mopars wondering where the love is. Maybe if we marketed them as the original Tuner.na. Won't work.

Re: SD SL died!!!!
I've had 2 belts jump that didn't look bad. One was from my own stupidity. This was a carburated 2.2 with an air pump. I noticed the air pump wasn't turning so while the car was running, I pushed something against the belt so as to add a bit of tension and break the pump free. Instantly, the car killed. Never started again after that. I checked the timing belt and sure enough, it had jumped. What happened was the crank was trying to turn the belt and by touching the belt on the other end of the head, I bound the smooth operation for a split second. Just enough to jump the belt. It wasn't much either. The secound one is the 2.5 EFI Sundance I'm driving right now. I bought it as a non running car. The day afer I bought it, I started looking at what could be wrong with it. I checked the belt and it was off one cog. I changed that and still wouldn't start. After a while of not being able to find the problem, I pulled the valve cover off and found 2 followers (rockers) off the cam. They were laying there. The car had a bad tranny also. What I guessed happened, is the tranny was slipping, the previous owner got frustrated trying to get it to go and overrevved it. This caused the followers to jump off the cam. I'm guessing that when the followers jumped, they bound (jammed) something for that split second and the belt jumped. Now I can't say why the followers jumped for sure, whether it was the tranny or what, but Im sure about why the belt jumped. It wouldn't take much of a bind to slip the belt. I leaned that 18 years ago on the 83 2.2. In both cases, The belt may have been a bit loose. I don't remember. I also bought my first GLHS with a timing belt off one cog. That belt had all his teeth. My family seems to like throwing followers off cams. My sister did it twice with 2 different Horizons and my cousin did it to my Dad's 2.5 minivan. In my sisters case the cam and followers were badly worn and she get's mad at her cars and over revs them after they start. I'm not sure what my cousin did to my Dad's van, but when Dad called to tell me they got the van running (after a -28 day caused it to fail) he said it was running rough. Then he said my cousin got it running. Then he said my cousin is a crazy kid. The first thing I thought was crazy kid? he over revved it and threw a follower. I was right. I pulled the cover off and there sat the follower. Taking a rest from the rest of his coworkers.

Re: SD Only 2 speakers? P-Body
Also, if your original radio has a cassette, (and most do) you can use a cassette adapter and run your MP3 straight through. This has better sound than the radio transmitters. At least I've been told that. Myself, for now I've been using a transmitter, but only because the times I've used it, I was driving the cars with the factory CD players. On my Shelby Charger, I use to use a personal CD player that could play MP3's and velcroed it directly to the hash. Then the transmitter just hung there. It sounds pretty good except for the times you run in to an area where the transmitter clashes with another radio station.

SD Only 2 speakers? P-Body
Hi All, I just switched out a cheap aftermarket radio for a factory Infinity. The cheap radio didn't have working rear speakers when I bought the car. I put in the good radio and there's no rear sound. Did some of these cars actually come without rear speakers? The wires were not butchered either. They had an adaptor on the cheap radio. I thought maybe the Infinity had a malfunction (I do have a bad Chrysler radio here somewhere) so I installed the plain Chrysler AM/FM no tape stock radio that came with the car. No sound from the rear. In fact, NO FADER CONTROL on the radio. This is a 1994 Shadow (Sundance actually) From outward appearances, you'd think this car was fully equipped. Then you get inside and see there's no rear defrost, no tach, no delayed wipers and now NO rear speakers?

SD Do I have Fog Light switch wires?
Hi All, I didn't have a rear defrost rear window when I bought a 94 Shadow. I didn't know this. After switching the rear hatch because of rust I now have this. Today I went to a salvage yard and got the switch and center dash panel that accepts the switch. I found the tail of the harness that goes to this switch. While at the yard I also bought the fog light setup since the switch also has the one for the fog lights. I can't find the tail of the wire harness for this. I guess maybe it doesn't have this but am hoping it does. The car is very stripped on the inside. Any idea if there's a tail under the dash I can plug the switch into?

Re: SD 89 Shelby CSX starting problems
Hi, Are you getting any trouble codes? By coil I assume you mean ignition coil. Did you try the pick-up coil? (aka HEP) These can be kind of tempramental. But you would get a trouble code when this is the problem. Otherwise, when it does start, does it run good right away or does it run rough for a bit? The only starting problems I ever had with a turbo Dodge were either HEP related or head gasket. The gasket would cause the car to start hard right after you shut it off though. Then run rough for a half minute or so. I don't know much at all about the VNT motors. I owned a VNT Daytona a few years ago, but didn't drive it more than about 300 total miles in a year and a half.

Re: SD GLHS bra?
Hi Joe, I don't know about the GLH, but I did get a new Shelby bra from the dealership back when I first bought my Shelby Charger. Now this was back in 1988. I'm wondering if they had factory bra's for the Omni also. Mine fit great. But, I only ran it on one road trip. The thing kind of stretched from warm weather and high speed driving. It never looked quite the same after the trip. Now that I think about it, it was only 1/4 of a road trip. During the trip, we pulled it off before going to a dealership for a head gasket job before our warrenty ran out. We were heading for Death Valley and knew the car was running a bit warm for a while. (4 months) Our extended warranty ran out 500 miles later IN Death Valley. We didn't want them to void the warranty thinking the reduced air flow from the bra caused the condition. At laest I have a few pictures of the car with the bra. Good luck finding one for your car.

Re: SD SC Rear Glass removal
Hi Brian, I pulled a rear window out of a Shelby Charger about 8 years ago by myself. If I remember correctly, From the inside you peal back and try push the rubber seal through the opening. The thing is, it trys to pop back. What I did was used some kind of prying wedges on the outside to keep a constant pulling up pressure on the rubber gasket. As I'd peel back a bit on the bottom side, I'd keep adding or readjusting the wedges or blocks of wood on the other side. You could use an extra hand to help push on the glass as you peel back the gasket, but from experience, I've found if you don't want to break the glass, you do it yourself. Other helpers try to help too much and push the glass too hard. They aren't really to hard to pull out. It just takes a bit to get started and then it goes pretty fast. Just work slow and don't force the glass. There's not a lot of flex in a window. The nice thing is if you do break it, you can still find a good one somewhere without worrying about the Shelby sticker on the inside like on a Shelby Charger. Also a good oppertunity to find a better piece if yours is imperfect. You got me thinking now. My rear window on my GLHS has a few scratches in it. I better keep my eyes open for a better piece.

SD Bad Oil pump?
Hi All, Last night I was driving my GTC TII when I noticed the engine was making noise. Slight clattering. Then I noticed the oil light was on and the guage was way down. I couldn't believe I was that low on oil. It was down almost a quart. After adding some, the car seemed normal. While driving to work this morning, I saw the guage was down again and the engine was making noise again. You can hear it when you let off the gas. I checked the oil and it was fine. Drove away and had pressure again. A few minutes later, the guage was down again. If I shut it off, let it sit for a minute and restart, the pressure comes back. But only for a short time. It's not the guage because the car makes noise when the guage drops. Is this what an oil pump does when it goes bad? I've never had a bad one before.

Re: SD No Oil Pressure after filter change!
I'm willing to bet the ballance shafts were removed. Dropping the pan would tell, but they don't all have a rubber gasket on the common blocks. Mine didn't on my 90 TI Daytona.

Re: SD 1987 Charger GLHS
Hi Danny, The prices can really vary. I've seen a few REALLY nice ones going for $4500 lately. There was a super nice original that went for $6,000 on eBay a couple weeks ago. Right now there's one listed in the local paper for $4500. I saw this car 2 weeks ago and it's not as nice as my $1500 GLHS. There's a new paint job on that car, but the person has no clue as to what they're selling and the paint job wasn't good enough. They also put molding down the side of the car and they refer to the car as a Shelby Charger in their ad. No mention of GLHS. The car is being sold by a broker and is a one owner car with 58,000 miles on it. The one I just picked up 2 + months ago had 50,896 miles on it and runs great. I also bought it from a guy who got it off eBay. I believe he made a few bucks profit off me. I'd have paid more for the same car if it came down to it. There's good deals out there and a lot of low mileage cars with little or no rust. Just keep your eyes open. Try to find a car with original paint that's been garaged and still shines if at all possible. New paint may be hiding bondo, rust and who knows what else. That's the case of this local car. On the other hand, they're not giving away paint jobs anymore.

I've seen a bad head gasket really screw up the way the car ran. The car would be running smooth and after shutting the car off for 5 minutes, the car would barely run again. If a big enough chunk of gasket gets blown, The car can really run bad and the oil can get a lot of antifreeze in it. But, the only way to find out is to pull the head and see.

Re: SD LIfters
The next time I need lash adjusters, I'm going with the PT C's. I have heard nothing but good on TD.Com. The biggest problem with the adjusters we all have is that after spirited driving, they tend to start ticking because they have a hard time pumping back up. The newer technology of the PT's allows them to much more easily stay pumped. I guess it's something to do with the hole on top. It keeps the adjuster pumped and can easily purge out any air that makes them become spongy. Like Al C. said, get in touch with thepope on TD.com. I guess he has the correct sized shims and is reasonable. Everyone that's used them swear by them.

Re: SD wheel name
Hi Chris, When I responded, I was under the impression Dave was talking about the ones that were dark and the face curved out. He was talking about the ones that were painted gold and had a more Gothic style like the grill-work in an old church window. You're right about how good those dark ones look. Although I pulled mine off my White/White GTC Convert for some white 16 inch pumpers. (The CS Pumpers look great on the GTC) The Dark 16 inch lace looked Awesome on my Black 90 Shelby Daytona. It really gave it a touch of class. I never put the whole set on, but what was there looked great. I thought it would have looked good on the 86 shelby Charger too. The first Shelby Charger I ever test drove had some Black Lace style wheels on it. This was an 87 Black/Silver SC, back in 1988. I don't know for sure what they were off of since I wasn't in to the whole Shelby thing at the time, but may have been (possibly) 87 Shelby Lancer wheels. That was a nice car.

When I bought the car back in 1988, there were brand new tires on it and the first month, I ended up in a ditch off the freeway from a snow storm. I could barely let off the gas without the car wanting to spin out. I did OK for about 500 miles but.Whoops!. LOL. The road trip from hell.

These would be about 1.4 inches taller than the original 205-50-15's that are on the car. I'm wondering if anyone has used this size before on thier Charger. Any problems with rubbing? I drove an 83 Charger years ago that had 175-70-13's and nothing would get that thing stuck. I figure the new tires should really help. As for the speedometer, It's so far off at the time that I may just make my own overlay for the winter tires. LOL. Just kidding. Thanks __ ---REMOVE-FOOTER-WHEN-REPLYING Questions?

SD FS 90 Shelby Daytona TI auto $400.00 Minnesota
Hi All, I need to get rid of my daily driver. $400.00 It's a 90 TI Daytona Shelby. Black with Black cloth interior. The car is rusty. Floors and rear wheel wells. The tranny shifts good when warm. When cold, the car shifts late. But this is only lasts for a minute or so, then the car shifts fine. Good firm shifts. I believe it's a sticky gov. I just replaced the differential bearings a few weeks ago. I'd trust the tranny for years myself. The engine has a leaky oil pan gasket. I changed the rod bearings a couple months ago and the end seal on one side of the pan must have slipped when I put it back on. Engine runs OK. It has always had a clattering sound, but has sounded like that for the eight years I've owned it. There's 199,XXX on the odometer now. Minus the 5,000+ miles where the odometer didn't work over the years. I put a head (pressure tested and resurfaced) with MP gasket and bolts 5-6 months ago. No cooling problems. The car needs tires. They're shot. It comes with capless 16 pumpers. You can test the car with the good tires that are on it now, but they're going on my other Daytona. The tires that will go with the car hold air, but that's it. I'd recommend a spare or two, to get the car home. Other than the tires, The car can be driven anywhere. It has the Infinity cassette radio w/amplified speakers. (Original) All speakers work except the drivers door. Once in a while it pops on. No annoying cracking sounds out of it, like so many others do. The passenger fender is a bit messed up. If you read my post back a few weeks ago, you saw that I had a ball joint bolt fall out and the tire went sideways. It happens when a guy forgets to use a wrench on something. LOL This car is a good winter beater. Don't plan on doing anything more to it than driving it. Not restorable. Looks good from a distance. I just lost my storeage for my Charger and had to bring that home. I have too many cars so the Daytona has to go. I'll post pictures a little later. The sooner I sell it the better. My next door neighbor doesn't understand my turbo cars. ---REMOVE-FOOTER-WHEN-REPLYING Questions? Visit http://www.sdml.org/ To be removed, visit http://www.sdml.org/pages/leave.html

SD Non stop chime sound, 90 Daytona. Also, looks like a logic mod.
Hi All, After my little ball joint bolt mishap last weekend, I have a new problem. The tire pushed a small part of the fender back and also the inner fender. When the tire is off the car, You can see a metal box behind the passenger side kick panel. What would this be? Looks like a logic module, but this is a 1990 Daytona. As it is, it has been raining today and for the last 5 hours, I've heard my car outside, chiming as if I left the keys in and the door open. Well, the doors are shut and the keys are in the house. The sound is driving me crazy. Also, the wipers won't shut off. This happened last summer once. I pullel the fuse and reinstalled it the next day and that problem totally disappeared. I'm sure the metal box being exposed to the spray from the front tire is the reason for the non stop chime. This started after work when I drove in the rain and has been doing it ever since. -- Bob Doherty Coon Rapids, MN. 90 Daytona Shelby TI 89 Daytona Shelby TII 89 LeBaron GTC Convert TII 86 Shelby Charger TI 85 GLH T 68 AMC AMX #5816 (Only Numbered Car) ---REMOVE-FOOTER-WHEN-REPLYING Questions?

SD Idiotic mechanic.....ME
Hi All, I just fixed something that I should never have had to fix. See pictures..http://www.amoparx.net/woops/ I put new differential bearings and seals in my 90 Shelby Daytona 413 last week. Guess what happens when you only finger tighten the ball joint pinch bolts. As soon as I looked at the damage, I instantly remember NOT tightening the bolts. I fixed it last Sunday and drove it 6 days before the passenger side came unglued. I heard the bolt fall out while going down the highway. (two lane at about 55mph) I thought what did I just hit? Within a few seconds the tire (one month old, BRAND NEW GOODYEAR!) was going sideways down the highway. It pulled the long shaft out of the the tranny. The tire changed the shape of the floor in the car. I called my sister and brother-in-law and they came with tools and rescued me. It took a long time to fix the car on the side of the road (mostly in the driving lane) because I didn't have a good enough pry board to get the lower control arm down low enough to get the ball joint back together. But, long story short, I got it back toget! her and was able to drive it home. In a pinch, (If you can find the bolt an eighth mile down the hiway like I did) you can use a lug nut to screw on the pinch bolt. Was I ever happy to find the bolt too. That thing could have been anywhere, but it was right in the middle of the hiway over an 1/8 mile away from where the car stopped. Just a few minutes before this all happened, I was thinking how nice it was to have a car that I can take anywhere without worrying about something breaking. This car constantly breaks down and Pi$$es my off, but this tme it was my error. Well, I'm going to take it for a drive. I think it should go anywhere now. LOL. Maybe I should start carrying tools. At least my jack. My sister only brought a sissors jack. That was positioned on the edge of the hiway and on the dirt. The car fell once on to the frame and we had a heck of a time getting the jack back under there. I was just telling a friend at work (Friday) how nice it is to have one of those aluminum racing jacks because they're so easy to brake down and put in the car. I should start carrying that too. Take care and double check your work. I was in such a hurry, I missed the bolts. -- Bob Doherty Coon Rapids, MN. 90 Daytona Shelby TI 89 Daytona Shelby TII 89 LeBaron GTC Convert TII 86 Shelby Charger TI 85 GLH T 68 AMC AMX #5816 (Only Numbered Car) ---REMOVE-FOOTER-WHEN-REPLYING Questions?

RE: SD RE: WTB: Centurion 2 wheels
There's another difference. The holes are different sizes. Even if you didn't know which way the spokes swirled, you can tell the rims apart from a distance. I'm not sure which was larger. The 86 or 87. I believe it's the 86. Bob Doherty Coon Rapids, MN. 90 Daytona Shelby TI 89 Daytona Shelby TII 89 LeBaron GTC Convert TII 86 Shelby Charger TI 85 GLH T 68 AMC AMX #5816 (Only Numbered Car) -- Original message -- Yep, the 87 CSX, though they are slightly different than 86 GLH-S units (reversed spokes and no Shelby cast onto the spoke) The story goes that the original mold that the ones made for the 86 GLH-S was damaged or lost, so they made a new mold and the spoke direction changed and they lost the Shelby casting on the opening. The 87 GLH-S received these same wheels. This is why they're called Centurion 2's If you wanted to you could get a pair of 86 GLH-S wheels to put on one side of your car and then all the wheels would spin in the same direction. Anyway, in 88 the CSX-T received the wider (6.5) LeMans wheels and of course in 89 the CSX-VNT received the 6.5 wide fiberide wheels.

SD 413 final drive ratio
Hi All, This may sound stupid, but I need bearings and races in my differencial on my 413. I went to NAPA today and they didn't list the bearings. I have an old 413 here and was wondering if I could pull the two end cap deals off the tranny and the diff gears w/bearings and just swap it all to the other tranny. As long as I have the same gear ratio, I should be OK, Right? The other tranny had problems, but not with the differential. The newer tranny eats seals. As long as I'm using the same bearings with the same races, I assume I shouldn't have any problems. Am I right? I'm not keeping this car forever. I'm just trying to nurse it along until I get one of my other cars going and I can dump this thing. Both trannys are 413's from turbo cars. I'm not sure about the years though. Is there a tag on the 413's like all the stick cars that would tell the final drive?

Re: SD ELECTRIC FUEL PUMP
Hi, This may work, but you may be starved for fuel at higher RPM's. Some Shelby Chargers and some GLH's had a Bosch in line pump. They also had a lower pressure Feeder pump inside the tank. From experience, I know the car would run W/O the feeder working. But, the car would cut out as you got up there in RPM's. I had this problem in my 86 Charger for over 2 years before I figured out what it was. The stock External pump wasn't made to pull fuel out of the tank. Maybe the design of your's is different though.

SD 90 Daytona, TI 413. Bad diff bearings
Hi All, My 90 TI shelby Daytona has bad differential bearings. I just replaced a seal on the drivers side last night and found lots of metal flakes. The tranny is still working OK but I need to get this corrected as soon as possible. The magnet in the tranny is only going to catch so much metal. LOL What does it take to change the bearings? I assume I'll have to drop the K frame and pull the axles out. (Just had that down a month or so ago when I put in a new rack) Is this a relitively easy fix? Will it all come apart fast and go back together OK or is it going to be a PITA to get at everything. I don't want to fix it but am forced to. I really just want to fix one of my other cars and let this one go cheap but since it's my daily driver...It doesn't give me time to fix anything else. Something breaks on this car constantly and I don't really do much more than just drive it fast. Any idea how fast I can change it in a driveway? I've got two cars in the garage that force me to w! ork outside. really sucks in the winter. Thanks. ( I'm a better than average machanic with all the tools.

SD 89 Shadow code 37,update.
Hi All, Recap.89 Shadow 2.5 TBI I went back to my Mom's house today to play with her car again. It's getting code 37. It will not start. The thing isn't getting fuel. The filter is new. I turned the key on and the pump was silent. But, I applied 12 volts to the pump and heard it run. When I checked the voltage to the pump, it was reading 12 volts during cranking. As soon as we let off the key, the voltage dropped to nothing. (Still in ON position) So, my question is, shouldn't it read voltage when the key is on? Or does the thing have to start to trigger something to get the voltage moving? I assume there's a problem with the ON position and the pump is still good. Computer? Bad wires? I tried disconnecting everything under the hood and reconnecting it all. All connections appear fine. I also switched what I believe is a relay for the pump with a working one off my Daytona. The thing clicked when we turned the key so I figure it's connected. No change. Any Ideas? I'd like to get t! his stupid car going soon.

SD CD Burning Problem
Thanks everyone for all the responses. I haven't seen so much SDML Mail in a heck of a long time. I guess there's still people out there. It seems most people have had the best luck with slower burning speed (which is what I was trying last night) A lot of guys said It's probably because of the age of the CD deck. I would have to agree with that. My Infinity does the same thing, but may be a slight bit better at reading self burned CD's than the Chrysler unit. I'm sure they're built in the same factory though. Most people say Silver CD's work best and don't use the blue. Two guys said the blues workedbest for them. I'm going to keep plugging away at it. I have more computers than cars. I also have lots of blank CD's and a few programs I haven't tried yet. When (If) I figure this out, I'll let everyone know. Then you'll know what makes the worse case senario work.

SD freeing sticky kickdown lever
Hi All, Anyone have any ideas how to free a sticky kickdown lever on an a-413. This basically happened over night. It shifted fine and then in didn't. The lever is really stuck. I have been working it to no avail. I've put a little (not much at all) WD-40 on it. I tried tranny fluid. I pulled the battery and tray and then the lever so I could get oil on it. I tried playing around with an old 413 in the garage that had the same problem at one time. I pulled the lever on that one and can put the shaft up about a quarter in while tuning it. This one is free. I think I shot it with WD-40 when I first learned of this problem from Dave Grove a while back. It freed it up well but the tranny was already gone by that time. This one is a good one so I'd like to get this fixed before I'm putting in yet another one. Does the valve body have to come out to pull the selector/KD shafts? Has anyone freed one without tearing this apart. I don't mind digging in, but don't have the tim! e right now.

SD 90 Daytona TI, Codes 37 and 13
Help, I put a tranny in my car last summer. (90 Daytona TI) Before doing this, The car ran fine. No problems. Immediatly after that, the engine light comes on when I come to a stop. When starting off from a stop, The car stumbles then runs fine, unless I shut it off and re-start it. I usually do this after the car is up to speed. Then I can drive for long periods of time with the light off. As soon as I slow down, The light comes on. I get codes 37 and 13. I replaced the MAP with one I had laying around and nothing changed. I assumed when I put the tranny in, I had broken a vacuum line or electrical connection. After I replaced the head last week, I didn't notice anything out of place. Could the Baro solenoid be bad? I know the code says something about that. I've never heard of one of these going out. Loose connections? I have wiggled wires checked and rechecked hoses and still nothing.

SD Pull plugs when buying used head
Hi All, I just learned something tonight. When buying a used head from a salvage yard, pull the plugs out first. You may save yourself a heck of lot of time and aggravation if the dumb SOB that use to own the vehicle was too stupid to use anti-seize on the threads. I pulled the 4 plugs out of the head after getting it checked and resurfaced. Or should I say 3 1/2 plugs. 2 were easy, one took 5 very careful minutes with a 1/2 drive breaker bar. Then the last was the one that took 5-10 minutes of trying to work it back and forth with the breaker bar until the plug snapped. Now I get to drill it out. It isn't the first time. At least I have experience and the head hasn't been installed yet. BUT NEXT TIME I have to get this daily driver done tomorrow morning so I can put a clutch in my wife's daily driver tomorrow.

He has a 308 and was telling me how much a used wheel cost for his car and how expensive recovering them can be. He was looking at after market wheels that were near the $175-225 range.

Re: SD Collectibility issue?
The fact that the experts don't know what will be worth something is so true. I watched, what I believe was Good Morning America about 20 years ago. Mr. Hemmings ? from Hemmings Motor News was asked, What car, do you believe is the best investment right now? He replied, Anything made by AMC That made my day since I have a 68 AMX. I also heard everyone say that if AMC ever went out of business, the price of my AMX would skyrocket. Well they went out of business and I couldn't give my car away if my life depended on it. I still have the car and now I'm starting to see the prices going up. The thing with the AMX is that it was always under appreciated. It wasn't a Chebby Fard or Mopar. I could have purchased a mint 1970 HEMI Challenger R/T with 24,000 miles on it in 1974 for $1,500. That was the same price that I paid for the Challenger I was driving at that time. How things have changed. But, there are a lot of Turbo lovers and a lot of guys want that $600.00 GLHS. I want it really bad and was thinking about getting a friend to help me bring it to Minnesota. Biggest problem is, My wife quit her job one month ago and doesn't seam to be trying too hard to get another. We live check to check. The company I work for is about to go belly up. I've been there 24 years. (hope it goes belly up too. I'll just take some of my 401k and buy a numbered Shelby.) Seriously. I've been thinking about that for a long time. You can't blame a guy for wanting to part something out to get rid of it. It took me about 2 months to get rid of a 90 VNT Daytona ($500) and almost a month to get rid of my $800 87 GLHS. I know the parts would have sold MUCH faster. I wish I was in a slightly better place financially, I'd buy that GLHS in a second. I need an excuse to do a road trip. Besides, the body has to be more solid than anything I own.

SD Head Flaw? Chunk missing.
Hi All I pulled the head off my 90 Shelby Daytona tonight. There's a chunk of metal missing in the 2nd or 3rd cylinder. It looks like it may have been like this for a while. It looks like the gasket would cover this area without any problems. I put a gasket in this car a few years ago and don't remember seeing this void. I have a link to a lot of pictures of it. These are larger files. Sorry, I didn't have a chance to make them smaller. The 6th picture shows the missing metal well. I will have to get a new head anyway. I found a lot of cracks. I'm sure they aren't good. The gasket didn't blow in the normal area (rear #1 cylinder) like most I've replaced. What do you think of these pictures? I'm curious to know how this happened or if it was always like this. The car is stock running stock boost.

SD 89 Shadow window off track
Hi All, I'm trying to fix my Moms drivers door window. It's an 89, 2dr Shadow. There's a piece of plastic that's riveted to the top/back of the glass. This piece rides on some sort of track on the back side of the frame around the glass. The plastic is broken. I'm not sure what it's supposed to look like. The track seems to be in bad shape also. Has anyone ever fixed something like this. I've never seen anything like it. Can the piece be purchased new? Can a replacement be pulled easily off a junk car? It almost looks easier to just put a different door on it. It looks as though just adding the piece of plastic might not do the trick and may break again do to the track being broken. Or at least, in rough shape. Anyone have any ideas what I can do? -- Bob Doherty Coon Rapids, MN. 90 Daytona Shelby TI 89 Daytona Shelby TII 89 LeBaron GTC Convert TII 86 Shelby Charger TI 68 AMC AMX #5816 (Only Numbered Car) ---REMOVE-FOOTER-WHEN-REPLYING Questions?

Re: SD '89 CSX #216 - Full Circle
Congratulations on your purchase!! I guess owning another CSX wouldn't be as nice as having Your CSX back. There's that weird bond that cars can have on some of us. I wouldn't mind getting my 87 GLHS back again, but I doubt that will ever happen. That car also come from Trail Dodge. I was actually the second owner. The first was an old guy that ended up in a nursing home. Go figure. I guess he really loved the car. His brother had to sell it for him and couldn't figure why he liked it so much.

SD 555 Tranny in MN. Yard

SD heater control valve
Hi All, Can a heater control valve break on the inside and still look OK outside? The problem is, No Heat. This is my mom's 89 P-body. The valve is right next to the firewall. The hoses going to it are warm. The waterpump is brand new. I tried moving the lever on the valve and held it there. There was no change in the lack of heat. How about the under dash stuff? What makes that tick? Could there be a door that is stuck shut on the inside of the car that doesn't open even though there's plenty of hot coolant going through the heater core? Any Ideas? I'm at a loss. I just put a head on this car and don't want to think anymore. (There wasn't heat before the new head either. Not something I did) What am I missing. This should be beyond simple. Is there any diagrams explaining the heater control valve out there?

Re: SD RE: Lubricants and Lubricant Additives
I'd have to agree with that. Myself, I use Castrol. Or if I don't have a lot of money, then I'll go with Walmarts cheap stuff. Oil changes in my cars over the years, have gone over the limits. But they still run. I have damaged a couple engines due to low oil. Long stories, Cars were new to me and I was dumb enough to assume there was enough oil in them. Otherwise, I have many time gone over 6,000 miles on dino oil and my TII still runs good at 220,000 miles. I've only put synthetic in it once or twice. I do add a quart of Mobil 1 here and there, now days. I've heard you get a lot of the benny's from it (like cold weather starting) without all 5 quarts. Besides, I'd rather change my oil on a regular basis for about $6.00 instead of paying $18.00 for Mobil 1. I'd probably think differently if I bought the cars new, but they have a lot of miles and run fine so far.

RE: SD Alternator Options for 2.2 Turbo's
I found out the hard way about jumping cars about 12 years ago. My ex-wife lost her timing belt in her Shelby Daytona on her way home from work. She said the car just died at an intersection and killed the battery trying to restart it. I went to help. I tried jumping her for quite a while with my Shelby Charger before I realized the belt was gone. Well that was the last time my car charged on it's own. I had blown the regulator. That meant I had to get a new power module. Since this was before this great thing called the Internet and the car was hard to find used parts for, I had to get that new. $144.00 back then, I believe. I kept charging the car before and after work for a couple months just to keep it going. I don't know if I lost my alternator right from the start, but after I put in the PM, I discovered I needed that too. Now days, when I believe I have a low battery, I use a battery charger so I don't take any chances.

Hi All, I'm thinking about getting rid of my 90 Daytona VNT. The car needs a lot of work. I have too much going on right now. I want to keep the car but just need to free up some space. I want to work on my AMX and get new bumpers. Car has about 110,000 miles. Wrong engine block. It's not a common block. It knocks. Has only boosted for me once. I haven't looked at it too closely. I've had the car for a little over a year and drove it maybe 200-300 miles. The body isn't pretty, but not much rust for a MN car. It has a good 568. I want to keep the tires and rims. Sorry, they look great on my GTC convert. Drive it home and then give me back my tires. The car is good for parts if a person didn't want to bring it back to life. I have only driven this car when my daily driver had a problem. The headlights don't go up, but did when I bought the car. I'm sure it's a loose wire or something simple. The guy I bought it from took the headlight module apart and attempted to fix it. Then I replaced it completely. Lights still stay down.
