I bought my old 93 Z28 back, now it needs some TLC

[mcalus]

looking great, hoping to be doing this VERY SOON myself..

Thanks Jess! I haven't seem you on here in awhile! How's things? What's the big plans?

[Gottork]

hey Mike, yeah that is what happens when I got my old job back and working 6 days 72-85 hours a week.. been this way since I came back.. getting caught up and paying off everything is my goal, then my wife is going to work so that will help tons, we have a ALOT nicer place to live, just no garage to work in, but I dont have time to do that either,lol
Everything happens for a reason and I know I am alot humbler person, ALOT better shape ( from 255 last year around this time to 205 and a ton stronger)
My plans are finish paying off my snap on bill then start saving for another 3rd gen and try and find another 67 Skylark, but if I have enough and find a nice one I will be getting into a 4th Gen TA with a ls1 but all depends cause I am DEFINITELY paying off all big bills

I will be getting on here once I am ready to start looking asking for some advice as well..

Glad to hear everything is going well for you! Especially with your job! You'd rather be busy then slow, ya know?

Got the trans rebuild kit in today from probuilt automatics!I talked to my trans guy and I'm going to give it to him Wednesday. Hopefully I can get the trans to a car wash and spray it down some more. The shocks should be in tomorrow or Wednesday at the latest. How much does an oil pressure sending unit cost? (I believe that's what it is, on the 93's & early 94's it's on the oil pan, late 94's and up are on block behind the intake manifold)Next Monday I should have the shocks, upper a arms, springs and upper ball joints should all be put back together. I'm going to possibly order the stall tonight then plan is, to put it back in next weekend (14th) That gives me 6 weeks to do the body work!!! 0_0

yes busy is good, but too busy is not,lol...

[mcalus]

If you added bigger injectors yes. Most set ups will start on a stock tune. I would get in touch with a real tuner tho. Most will give you a base tune to load on your car so you can heat cycle the valve springs and such.

He has a 93 though, not many options.

Yeah chip burning isnt fun!

Neither is rebuilding a motor because you punched a whole in a piston because it had an imperfect tune.

Agreed. But, who do you know locally who does 93's? I only know of one shop off the top of my head and I'd be burned at the stake for mentioning it here.

I'd really like to get a mail order tune to get it running decently until the meet and great is past. That's my big goal is to have this car running and in have it look presentable
