  1. Could be a throttle position sensor too. I had a Fiero and a mechanic told me the piston rings where no good and had to replace the engine. I did some research, replaced the part and it ran great,,,no more codes. Also I think there is a Idle Air control valve.
  2. You would have to look at the cover and that would tell you what size it is. 7.5 rears are junk. I have one in my 82 regal and I could get a 7.5 posi with 3.73 gears for $300 but they are not worth it. I am saving up for a grand national 8.5 rear which run for $900 usually.. Your best bet is if that other one you have is a 8.5, use it. If not, look for one but most will run for $800 or more from what I have seen unless the person doesn't know what they have. Your other option is to get a custom built rear for $1,200......
  3. You can go to http://www.fiberglassforums.com/ and register. There are tons of things on there and it has given me many ideas.
  4. Well I have normal tumors which come from Neurofibromatosis type 1. Chances of them turning cancerous are less than 10% overall. I had 2 tumors removed last year and they did 3 biopsy's on them and both where cancer,,,MPNST which are very rare. What they did this time was a CT scan and nothing has ever shown on or in my lungs. Nothing was there a few months ago and now there is one there about 3.5 CM.....So they will still biopsy it after surgery but they are 90-100% sure it is cancer that metastasized. I go every 2-3 months to Boston for MRI's and CT scans. After all this is done I will probably go for a PET scan. PET scans usually will show cancer when they inject radi active material in you it shows up bright white. The material is attracted by the cancer cells and that is how they know. Sometimes it might show up in error which has happened to me once. I hope this helps.
  5. Thanks all. Talked to the surgeon today. They will remove part of the middle and lower lobe of my right lung. I will be in the hospital for 3-5 days. They said it will take some time to get back to normal, I think he said 3 months or so. It is in a good spot where I will not lose the whole lung or 2/3's of it, it is away from the blood vessels. After that I start chemo. Smoking was not a factor in this it was the previous cancer I had that caused it. He said if I do quit smoking now that it will be as if I never smoked, never had surgery and never had cancer years down the road. Surgery will be in 1-3 weeks from now and they will call on Tuesday with that information.
  6. I am new here but I might as well put this just in case something happens and people call me a pussy for not responding to my topics I have posted,lol I had 2 cancerous tumors removed last year. one in my leg,grade 3,, about the size of a soft ball and one small grade 1 in my left hand. The one in my leg grew from nothing to a softball size in 2 months time. They where both Malignant Peripheral Nerve Sheath Tumors or M.P.N.S.T. for short. Everything was removed just fine and I had only radiation after that for 7 weeks. Radiation ended around June 3rd 2008. Fast forward to this week I went for my 3 month check-up and I now have a tumor on my right lung 1 1/2 inches or so..that was not there 3 months ago. So they think the cancer has come back. I go today to meet the thoracic surgeon and see what happens. If it is cancer this time I will need Chemotherapy and probably radiation. These types of cancer are usually immune to Chemo that is why the first time they did not give it to me. So that's all for now, Keep rocking or rapping or whatever it is you do. I personally will be looking for as much puss* as I can before I go for surgery..I will not pay for it, I will just walk up to women in bars and see if they want to fu*k,,,,,it might work it might not Peace out !!!!!!!!!!!
  7. Send them an IOU just like they do to people getting money back on their tax returns..
  8. Not so fast,,,,,It depends on what state you live in and your emission laws. Some states, like California, are a bitch to register or even drive a car that has been modified. until recently, Massachusetts did emissions on cars from 1983 and up. Now they only do 1996 and up so I got lucky with my 82 Regal, same car as yours pretty much. Once you know the laws and if your able to swap the engine for a carburetor type setup a mild 350 would be perfect. If you really wanted to and if you or someone has the nohow, go with a 305 TPI setup from a camaro. It would involve using the Camaro computer and other things. The earlier versions are better as the computer does not need the pass key to run in a different car.
  9. Hey my car is a daily driver and I get about 9 mpg on the highway. I have 2.73 gears in the back, mild Chevy 350 4 bolt pushing 375hp and a TH 350 trans. I doubt gears will help you that much. Like others said tune it up, get a good air filter, drive slower. I am just glad I only drive my car once a week so 10 a week for gas is good. There is really not much you can do, just have to suck it up and deal with the high prices I guess.
  10. HA HA!!!!!!!!!! That was hilarious!!!! That show kicks ass.
  11. I don't want to doubt your experience in automotive but I am unsure myself. Wouldn't the sending unit be accessed by either under the rear seat or by the trunk,eliminating the need to drop the tank?
  12. Probably the power steering pump, at least that's what it sounds like. Either it's good and just needs to warm up or it's on it's way out.
  13. Did you replace just the boot? Sounds like one of the half shafts is no good.
  14. Tough to tell really. If it is throwing a code, some cars go into a valet mode and they will only rev so high and usually will only go 35mph....once the problem(S) are fixed the computer must be reset. These new cars are a PITA. Go to auto zone and have them run a scan on the computer for you.
