Are you looking for the cam manufacturer or perhaps more importantly, the camshaft profile? I have a few other questions for you: 1. Do you believe this to be the original OEM camshaft or do you think it has been replaced at some point in its past? 2. Is your 326 the numbers matching engine to the car? If so, is it a two or four barrel carb engine (and is it going to stay that way)? 3. What transmission do you have in the car? WIth the above information, there are printed reference materials that I (and others) can look up to find the original camshaft profile. With that profile, you can order a custom camshaft from most camshaft makers (assuming they don't already have it that profile).

The Chevy successor to the Pontiac G8 is now no more. Soon neither will be rest of Holden Manufacturing. A sad day really. Another blow to a wonderful rear wheel drive platform and series of cars. I hope GM decides to build something in North America to replace it (and at a cheaper base price than the current $48k starting price). The 6th gen Camaro (zeta platform) is now built in Lansing MI so perhaps they will add new product to Lansing in the future. Now the interesting question, what will GM submit to NASCAR as their "corporate" car for the Monster Energy series for 2018? The Chevy SS is the current car for the Monster Series and the Camaro is the Xfinity series car. Promote the Camaro? Perhaps. Impala? It's been the Sprint Cup car before, so why not again? Mailbu? Why not? Cadillac ATS or CTS? It would be novel to see "Cadillac" running at Daytona. However I don't see this fitting the Cadillac image. Buick Regal? Regals once ran at NASCAR when they were RWD. So it "could" happen but I doubt GM will submit it.

I hope we are not being too sexist for your taste.

Zaware si je vous ai confondu, je m'excuse. Je fais une blague sur le professeur, pas vous.

That is a great story! Sorry to hear about you late husband but it sounds like fate meant for you to enjoy this car.

In your house or in your community? I suspect the former not the latter. Heck isn't that the reason we bought sports cars and muscle cars in the first place? To get chicks?

I am going thru this process myself with my '72 convertible as one of the lines blew out after 45 years. You must bleed the lines. You can add transmission fluid once you've removed the little rubber stopper in the side of the motor case. I purchased a small ketchup bottle to make pouring the transmission fluid into the hole easier for me. 1. Fill the motor with oil until you can feel the oil just below the hole. 2. Cycle the top up and down three or four times (this will force the air back to the motor and allow it to escape out the hole) 3. Repeat steps 1 & 2 until you don't need to add oil anymore 4. Insert the rubber plug BTW - this is the process that was in my GM service manual.

Let's assume for a moment that you had RAM DIMMs that are rated to 2.4GHz, the same as your motherboard's clock speed. However your CPU processor (itself) is rated at only 1.6Ghz. It is the combination of CPU and motherboard clock speed which limits RAM DIMM speed. Actual DIMM performance will only go as high as the lower of the two speed limits between the CPU and the motherboard. So in this example, the CPU runs at 1.6 GHz, and the motherboard supports speeds up to 2.4GHz, but the DIMM's will go up to 1.6Ghz because that is how fast (in this case) the CPU can accept the data from the RAM (thru the motherboard). Conversely, if the motherboard was slower than the CPU, the motherboard's speed would be the limiting factor and the CPU would be waiting for data. Does that make sense?

notallthere - but he serves as the "bad" model. Not to mention you'd have to spend a fortune in Nair, hair removal, and bikini waxing products before you could even think of photographing him. So that option is out! Perhaps you could ask "The Women of FP"!

Pro, stop admiring another man's tool in public! It just ain't right !

Wow! $86,090 for the Challenger SRT Demon! A factory VINed, production, street-legal drag car. The COPO Camaros, Challenger Drag Pack, and Drag Mustangs are non-VINed cars built for NHRA Factory Stock Drags with a price tag close or over $100k. Plus you have to trailer these babies because they are not street legal (no VIN, no plate!). The funny thing is the Demon is illegal for NHRA purposes. It runs 9.9s and 9.6s (on 100 octane) all day. It is too fast for the NHRA Factory stock class (it has no roll cage for one like the COPOs). Production is said to be limited to only 3,300 total and they will only be built in 2018. One year only deal (so says Dodge now). These sound like the modern versions of the Pontiac Super Duty cars of the early 60s. Got to love factory purpose-built race cars.

Mainly it is the operating system that is the most limiting factor because it is how much memory that the OS can physically address. Windows 7 32-bit OS is a max of 4 GB. Windows 7 64-bit varies on the OS version you purchased from Microsoft. Starter: 8GB Home Basic: 8GB Home Premium: 16GB Professional: 192GB Enterprise: 192GB Ultimate: 192GB Under WIndows 10: for x86 the max is 4GB, for x64 it is 128GB or 2TB. Windows 8 has a 512 GB max limit for x64.

Rust is preventing it from coming off easy. You should soak the seam in rust penetrating lubricant (3-1 In One, WD 40 Rust Penetrant, etc.). I would recommend renting a slide hammer and bolting it to the hub to pull it off. Check your local auto parts store to see if they will rent you this tool. Otherwise you will have to hammer it off as best you can like they do in the video below.

I think a lot of auto companies are pissing away a ton of money into autonomous vehicles as well as electric vehicles. I don't think the electric vehicles have paid for themselves yet in terms of return on the R&D investment yet. Honestly, they are assuming that the public will willing want, accept, and feel safe in autonomous vehicles. That's a sketchy bet in my opinion. Is it the environmentally (e.g. politically) correct thing to do? Perhaps but it is not necessarily a sound business model because there is no guarantee of a pay off. It could cost billions to the auto companies with zero return if it is ultimately a failure. Case in point - whatever happened to hydrogen cars? Autonomous, electric, or hydrogen vehicles won't be successful without significant and costly changes in the highway infrastructure in this country. This are improvements that will be government (e.g. taxpayer) funded and will take years, if not decades, to implement and cost billions or trillions. If you think construction is bad now in your next of the woods, image every single road or highway needing to be even slightly modified to manage all the autonomous cars (sensors, wi-fi, camera, embedded road rails, etc.). Now think even further ahead, if we are in a Uber-based, autonomous vehicle society. How is road based taxes collected if fewer and fewer people own cars? Who is going to own the Uber-cars for that matter? Road taxes may be based on fare charges/miles driven? Or everyone who pays taxes in the state is charged a plat road tax as part of their state income tax much like Internet-based sales taxes are done today in the state of Michigan (its up to $60 per year for non-sales taxed Internet transactions)? I, for one, am not holding my breath on this. As for Mr. Fields, I think he was trying to do too much with Ford's resources and it hurt Ford, necessitating in salaried layoffs.

I am dangerous....I project manager server hardware builds all the time. Gaming stations not so much. A buddy of mine is a serious gamer though.

Sounds like you have a caviar taste for hardware and software on a MD 20/20 budget. Yeah Mad Dog !

We'd love to see you in a 'vert stratman. You ready to jump back into the Pontiac fray again or is it too soon? I, for one, am proud of my Lemans (it will never wear a GTO badge as long as I own it) but even I am putting my own touches on it by making it a "Jury" tribute of sorts. Since Paul Deeson (he designed the '66/'67 GTO/Lemans/Tempest) was kind enough to design a custom Jury logo for me, I am slowly getting Lucy to the point where it will be a "what if Pontiac built the Jury" tribute and not a true clone.

I think this article does a pretty good job explaining things too. https://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/threads/canadian-pontiacs-whats-up.295375/

The thing about the Firebird is some parts of the car are metric (10, 11, 12, 13, 15 mm) and some are still SAE sized (1/4, 3/8, 7/16, 1/2, etc.). So you often need to have both sets of sockets and wrenches to take it apart and put it back together again.

You wouldn't like driving down I-75 these days buddy let alone climbing up 300 feet.

I just sent you three more ideas offline.

Indeed. I will take my 15 minute door-to-door drive to work and let it be. Awesome job Two Lane.

TIghter spandex costumes perhaps?

The year, make and model of the vehicle you are working on would be helpful. Now assuming it's for your 1994 Firebird, I think it requires a 3/8 Hex bit socket or Allen Wrench as the bolt is recessed into the caliper body. You probably want to have a C-clamp big enough to help retract the caliper piston too.
