  5. FS: Taylor 409 Race Wires (2-sets)

    in For Sale/ Wanted

    Posted · Edited by Krambo
    SOLD (see edit history)

    SOLD: 2 sets (16 wires) of Taylor 409 Race Spark Plug Wires - BLACK. One set has only 4k miles on them. The other set has about 25k. ALL wires were resistance checked and they all are within close tolerance of each other. Great wires for headers, fit snug without leaning on the pipes.

     

    Comes in original box with paperwork and decals. If someone has interest, I will throw in a stock set of plug wires (about 15k miles) including the heat shields for an additional $10.

     

    $60 shipped to your door in the lower 48 (that is $3.75 for each wire!).

     

    First come first sold - no "dibs"

  13. Injector wiring? Help!

    in Engine Tech And Modification

    Posted

    from what i was told from numerous people in the injector world is you want to splice rather then use adaptors , something that has to do with the wiring not being the same and changing the voltage patterns .

     

    That has some logic and I will agree. However, I would add that if all the adaptors are the same (pins, wire gauge, wire length / type etc.) I would venture any minor voltage / resistance changes would be insignificant and easily overlooked or lost in the noise during tuning.

     

    You can even make an argument that from person to person each solder point (quality) will be different and could show resistance variations across all 8 injectors. For spliced pigtail connections that is. If you are using the MSD2400 connectors, this doesn't apply.

     

    Me, I just prefer pigtail splicing (or the MSD2400s) as it is a cleaner install once all said and done. Adaptors tend to look like Medusa's head on top of your intake IMHO. But they do speed up the install time greatly!

  18. Fs: 2003 Silverado Ss

    Here is the story: I demod'd back to stock and sold off all of the parts. I threw in a stock LQ9 however a ring on #4 let go at start-up and the piston crumbled into the pan. I sold it, not running, locally to a young guy that slapped a new engine in it and had it on the street in like 3 days. He should be pleased with his investment and the overall condition of the truck. By returning it to stock, selling off the parts and ultimately selling the truck, I made more than my original asking price. The only downfall was the labor involved (but I enjoy the wrenching). Man was I pissed when #4let go at start-up. I was considering a new build at that point and keeping the truck!

     

    As for the buyer - I let him know of the site so maybe he will stop on over and do a build thread. We casually discussed a cam/converter/intake build so I am sure he will be "enhancing" his new SSS in the future. Good guy and obviously a wrencher.

  25. Island Dragway Closed

    in Off-Topic/General

    My first job (that I claimed taxes on) was painting the grandstands at Island Dragway. At 16 Y/O I was in charge of "The Bridge", only letting cars with numbers into the pit. I felt like a big shot with that job. The only job I didn't care for was scraping the rubber off the bleech box after a big event weekend.

     

    I have pictures of me at 8 years old at the track with my father. A sure piece of history is now gone.

     

    I remember borrowing my mother's 88 Dodge Monico one weekend when I was 18 and entering into the bracket race. I made it into the semi-finals before breaking out against some 12 second mustang. I remember being scared that I would win and get my name in the paper...never again allowed to borrow mom's car. Good times for sure

     

    On the other hand, the recent management was piss poor and ran the track into the ground. Shameful. I will not name names but the "K" family needed to wake-up.
