What Is This I Don't Even?

It's the plastic and foam or cotton piece under the air cleaner lid, passenger side. It will have a hose from the passenger valve cover to it through the air cleaner base. Comes loose by pulling off a clip on the outside of the air cleaner base. It's a 3 dollar or so item.

Well the air filter container has 2 hoses attached to the left side but nothing to the right. There's what looks like an SOS pad tucked into a spot opposite this; is that what I'm looking at?

Yeah. Sos pad is the breather. Usually you have to replace the plastic holder it's in too. It should have a hose from it to the passenger valvecover, much thicker than the little vacuum lines that I think you're referring to.

Cool. Thanks for the help.

Alot of people blame transmissions for engine problems. 'It doesn't shift when it's supposed to, it must be the transmission's fault."

When you give more gas, and the engine isn't working as it should, it will act dumb. And the transmission won't shift. Why? Because the Transmission still thinks that the engine is running correctly, the tv cable is telling the trans there's a load, so it won't shift the trans until a later time.

Well I took it for a cruise tonight (twice in fact). It turns over INSTANTLY instead of giving me a 2-6 second delay, it accelerates, it doesn't hesitate when I use the overdrive. I feel like I could go street racing tonight.




Of course, I won't, because I'm too old for those kind of shenanigans. I will, however, impress my girlfriend when I drive her to work tomorrow morning...

Bullshit :p you're never too old to race your panther.

I rather like not having speeding tickets on my record, though.

I did at 6:05AM manage to sneak it up to 90KPH whilst taking my girlfriend to work. "Look honey, it revs and accelerates great!"

56 miles an hour, nice. No one expects a car like that to go fast...

Speed limit's 50KPH, gimme a break.

Any amount of money you care to wager says I can bury the speedometer at 180KPH.








Maybe.

[86VickyLX]

do it. that's about stock 302 at least.

[Mike_O]

My luck, I'd blow the timing chain.

My car has hit 170 (indicated) and it took probably less than a full minute of full-throttle from 100kmh. That's with headers and exhaust but stock mine was still pulling hard at 155ish. You could probably hit 180.

[gadget73]

I know I've had my car to at least 120. Thats miles per hour. I don't speak metric, so whatever that translates to in foreign speed.

[johnunit]

193 kmh=120mph
