Resurrecting the 48

[AllZWay]

I doubt you have to do much... just change oil and brake fluid and Send IT.

That's funny James.

Update: I hate fuel injector filters. Well who knew there were even filters in fuel injectors? Anyway I pulled the injectors to check them. Some don't seem to be in great shape and now haven't found any filters locally-bummer. Probably a better idea to have them professionally cleaned? Or even better is to just replace them.

Thanks to 39/88 for helping I've been able to scan the car and it doesn't have any codes. Fuel pump and filter replaced. Drove it around the neighborhood a little but nothing like a track session. Fluids will all be fresh but not the hoses which I worry about and water pump. New serpentine belt at least.

Should receive all the safety gear needed this week-helmet, net, fire extinguisher and mount. Belt's have been swapped and finishing up the rollbar padding from white car.

If anyone has some Fuel Injectors let me know. Also, I believe there could be some Ford injectors that work the same so if anyone knows I'm guessing with all the Ford's coming that there might be a set of injectors laying around somewhere. I messaged a guy on Facebook parting an 96 LT Camaro which when I saw the location in Cresson I thought that's a sign but haven't heard back from him.

There is a guy with a bunch of 3rd gens always on FB selling parts, not sure if he'd have LT stuff. I had mine cleaned when I was chasing issues and it was done in 1 day. If I was you i'd head down that route. I'll also check around to see if I can find anything else

[BryanL]

Thanks. Another night another issue. Went to flush brakes with the one man vacuum bleeder on the caliper. Rears went well. Fronts just create air bubbles and vacuum bleeds before opening bleeder. When I do open the bleeder the vacuum is gone so quick it won’t flush.
Switch to other side and fitting is stripped. Replace it but same thing so replaced other bleeder with a spare. Same thing.

Pedal feels fine and no leaks when pumping but under vacuum the fronts won’t bleed or flush.

Are your brakes from the white car still in good shape to switch over?

[Gerno]

Sure it's not an issue with the bleeder, maybe a bad hose? I have a set of LS front brake calipers with some ST43 pads or some new C5 calipers I can bring with me if you want to use them

[BryanL]

Yes-please bring those front pads. I have a spare set of C5 calipers as well which is where I swapped the bleeder from. I have a spare set of pads but I'm unsure what compound they are or if they are even a race compound. The good thing about having a lot of parts come through and in the garage is having them around but sometimes not knowing where they came from. The C5 calipers I believe have a Hawk pad in them but not a race compound. Which should be fine for this weekend to just shakedown the car.
Hopefully it's just hose on the bleeder but I tried another connector on the vacuum bleeder and same issue. I'll make my daughter have a leg workout and do it old school.

Stoptech's need new rings.

Need to research injectors. Guy on FB in Cresson parting an LT1 hasn't responded.
