Now it's up to almost 1000 views since yesterday. I think it's a government conspiracy.

Quick, somebody post something worth reading.



Now that's first class Old School

Do you remember his name? I know a Scott guy with a turbo'd FB, another guy with a white 85 GSL and a 89 T2, and some guy in a maroon SA... that I can think of

Hey Salvador, in the red FC out on I85, next OGTA meeting is Tuesday, October 6, 6:30 pm at Jefferies in Suwanee, just off the Rt. 317 exit. Stop on by! Billy invite the GFs too!

Colin thanks for the Jimmy McPerson essay! That guy was really cool, I can't believe they didn't teach us about him in high school.

Michael - You need to put Billy down for that first pic. If that is from an SA - that is what he needs. I am sure he will chime in on it!

yeah, roland. sorry i didnt get chance to call you back today. i still have it, but it turned out to be for an 83 type center console and not for the 79. i still have it and dont have any use for it, but if you got an 83 center console, i'm pretty sure they're the same as the 79 though, except for the hole where the ash tray goes. i just dont have any 83's...let me know if you need it.

Crit: Funny you should mention that. I was just looking at that thread yesterday and was going to update it myself, but didn't have a chance. I'll update it later today.

Hey Dudes, someone clue me in on a rack and pinion steering conversion. I have a bit of play in the manual steering box in the Silver One that I don't want to live with so I need to consider options:

1. Pull and rebuild the manual unit in the silver car. Also replace all tie rod ends and the pitman arm, which are getting old ($160 for all the parts from Rock Auto).

2. Pull and replace the manual unit with a used power unit (minus the power) from one of my other cars, along with the steering parts replacement listed above.

3. Do a rack and pinion upgrade.

What would you do?

Cheapest is to replace/refurb the steering components and then adjust the unit you have. Have you tried adjusting it yet?

I hear that usually doesn't work and can cause more damage than good, crunching down on the worm gear. But I'll bite, how do you do it? I don't have anything that will get onto that big locking nut.
