I tried to search but I usualy find out of date stuff. I figured I would ask. I am doing some work on my truck and it will be down for a while so I decited to do a few things. I have about 800$ to spend so here is what I was thinking. I want to do Alky but it will wait for a few months. I was thinking this:

Have to get my TB fixed (air leak) cost 140$ includs bearings and boared to 52mm
50# injectors cost ??? guess 300$
Chip (help for type) cost ????
drive shaft loops F & R cost ????
axel (bad boot) cost 140
Q's.... does the chip have to be set up for alky???
also where can I get a TB gasket?
any help on finding these items or anything else I should do would be helpful.

Re: help finding stuff.

Hey There,
I hear it's pretty common to have an air leak at the TB with a lot of our trucks. If it's not too bad, I wouldn't worry about it too much. You're right on the 50# injectors. I also went with Phil Long's 50# chip from turbotime, $300. Don't know about the driveshaft loop and axle boot. Chips can be reburned with less fuel for alky, but a lot of people just turn down the FP to compensate. This is what Jeremy does and this is what I'll do. The part number for the TB gasget is on the forum somewhere I believe. I bought the gasget locally from one of our wholesale warehouses. Let me know if you can't find it. I just finished putting my truck back together with a lot of this stuff so let me know if you need help with anything. I'm in Santa Clara.

Re: help finding stuff.

the air leak is bad and I think is the cause of most of my idle issues. The tube test showed a good sized air leak. I found a guy to do the TB. I orded the Axel. Just looking for a good price on injectors,chip and if I should do anything else while I have the truck down. I was told I could turn down the fp about 4-6 lbs to compensate. Just want to make sure its ok to do so. I cant wait to see your Ty on the road. You are doing a lot of work to it and I would like to see how it comes out. This year I just want to get it running good and tuned corectly. Thinking about a new propshaft too. Have to wait for my tax return for that.

Re: help finding stuff.

Cool, a new TB should help out then. My truck is running pretty well, it's back on the road a of about a week ago. Haven't even started spraying alky yet, still gotta get that dialed in. We'll have to cruise sometime. Jeremy and I cruised our trucks for awhile last night, we had a good ole time. I got the injectors for a member here on the forum for $260 I think, flow matched. He's got a thread started here for a Group Purchase for 50# injectors. That was a good deal, he's probably still selling them. I want a new propsaft too, before my stocker breaks. I'm still figuring out which one to go with. I don't know if I already asked you this at one point, but where in SJ are ya?

Right on. Phil will probably have you talk to Eric at turbotime. That's where he'll refer you to buy is chip.

I got a gasket for a tune port camaro at my local parts store. Not a name brand there, but check your local parts store for it.

Re: help finding stuff.

TB gasget is just a Felpro 60826, it's the same one that is used on small block Chevy's of probably the same era. Should be easy to find. I just put this on my truck. Turbotime sells them for $2.60 if you can't get ahold of one locally.

qnbkiller has a good product and the price is about the best I'v seen. He's a great guy, I have bought goddies from him before and about ready to do it again! He just posted a few post up, send him a PM.
