Is the problem getting the throttle cable hooked up or with getting the trans cable hooked up?

I just used Lokar cable setup for my cruise and throttle. I reused the stock 700r tv cable. I prefer the cable over wire. I have enough cars that run wired throttle setup, its kinda nice to have some old school still in the car.

Ok
I didn't like antenna cable... but true is that old gearbox did work perfectly, this new doesn't... But today I got mail from Dakota Digital, they will get box ready on monday and ship it immediatly.
I'm sure, with that this will work nicely too


So nice

Nice pictures, i drove my car yesterday with the top off. Felt awesome to put down a few hard acceleration blasts. The weather here been rainy and cold this summer, so not alot of top off driving (ir any vette driving) i run 19/30/305 bald rears so spinning is pretty easy.

Same in here,. When did build car, (last month) was very nice weather (30-32celsius). Last week just raining 😡
but today I did try to make nice burning, but gearbox just goes too small gear and it’s on limitter... must wait that dakota box. Just soft driving... Doesn’t want break engine because wrong gears 😉

But now time to fix interior etc...


Nice screw set, even really idiot can use wrong screws 😄


Somebody has fixed mirror by somekind chassis ’glue’

Well, the likelihood that my car is going to run this weekend just went wayyyy down.

I primed the fuel system to check for leaks, and there was no schrader valve in the fuel rail. I never thought to look, just assumed that someone would leave it in there. Literally just a geyser of ******* gas spraying out the fuel rail. None of the parts houses have them and the dealer can't get me one until monday lol

Using an LS rail right? Run to a yard and pull one. Actually it may be that a normal tire Schrader would work even. It's been a while but I vaguely remember it.

I called the dealer and he told me the one in the trucks is different than the one in the LS3 rail. I called a junk yard and they said they didn't have any LS3 engines. L92 is the auto version right?

Just plug it? It’s for measure pressure... normally no need for it?

The Schrader valve act just like the valve stem in your tire. If it is not there the gas will just shoot out of the fuel rail, like what happened to me lol

I think that the threads are -4an. I might make a run to competition products in Oshkosh tomorrow to get a cap for it

L99 is the auto version of the LS3 in the Camaro SS
L92 is the truck 6.2
LY6 is the truck 6.0 with l92 heads

I would think the rails would be the same on all of them but I honestly don't know.

On the LT1 its the same as a residential AC units use. And that is the same as the suction schrader on a 93 and older car (R12) I cant imagine why they would change size. That would force everyone to use a different guage as well.
Hope you are able to find it soon.

There's no way... if the valve was different you'd need a different gauge. I don't recall using a different pressure gauge between LS engines in my experience. They all should be the same, I only found 1 GM part number anyway.

The needle is missing inside.

I put my fuel pressure gauge on it and was able to prime the rail. No leaks after tightening the compression fitting
