I'll have to check with my social secretary to dig up his new address. I told him six months back to join this list, so if he's lurking, he'd better get his **** in gear, and quit free loading.

A while back some idiot was trying to convince him to upgrade by dropping in an S-4 block into his 79 to get more juice. For the time, trouble and money I told him just to trade up the whole dang car. I hope he didn't cause that 79 was sweet.

Anyway, as they said, welcome to the nuthouse. Time to give your wallet a ride.

It just happens by coincidence to be frequented by mostly 944 and 928 owners.

Send me an email address

BTW - I happen to work in Columbia off Berger Rd.

Hey Jeff - Welcome aboard.

Handgun for a shark, Wow, and I thought I got a good deal.

Regarding the auto tranny. If it's slipping, either do a tranny fluid/filter change or just tap it off. When doing so (tapping it off), the engine must be warm, running, on level ground and in nuetral. Otherwise, you risk the chance of overfilling it and excessive fluid is not a good thing. (Foam over)

Filling it - This is where it gets a little tricky - Being that you don't have alot of room to work with, creativity brings home the gold medal.

I usually take a quart of tranny fluid. Remove the cap, punch a whole in the top, insert a rubber hose into the cap, punch a vent whole, then squeeze the fluid into the reservoir. Then repeat.
