Where do you live

Seems like if it was a BB it would probably have ended up between panes. Nope. It may have bounced back out the same hole but even then you'd think the screen woulda trapped it. Nuh-uh. Probably lost in the leaf litter.

I don't know what happened. If you put a stick through the holes, it points over the rooftops across the street. Thats why I say stray. Probably a miss when somebody shot at those damn loud dogs over there. I live in northwest Arkansas, a very rapidly growing community.

Just occurred to me it could be a bird hit. Barn swallows like my porch. One nested there once and it took several bird generations to put a stop to it. Might have been a confused grandpa bird lol

just be glad they didnt hit your 69 gp. then it would be time to blow them up. that car you had for how long????

So besides the KR problem I've been having, since I got the car I've noticed that occasionally during WOT it has a very, uh, jittery? acceleration. It feels very held back, you can watch the RPM's bounce in small amounts (50-200RPM) and the KR skyrockets. Is this the computer protecting the engine, something malfunctioning, or?
I'll have to get a video of it when i get the chance, maybe take a lot more pictures for y'all too. Requests?

Since the turn of the century. Believe me, thats the first thing I looked at. I'd rather not blow anybody up, but feeding own teeth isn't out. It and the GT are fine, so thats another vote for stray. Return fire could have be a b!tch if I was here or awake though lol.

Holy smokes, I just gave her 9.8 gallons for 20 bucks... time to make noise

lots of smoke and tons of noise



the smell of burning rubber

Double-check your firing order (spark plug wires). Unlike some other engines, 3800s may "run fine" with the wires mixed up. Just a basic first thing to check.

This is the correct smiley lol. With smoke



This one... ouch gonna try to avoid -

you dont want to see this




then you know you messed up

Here's a reference picture in case you dont have one.

I'll check that out in the morning, heck it might need a tune up, i got it at 179k and i'm at 199k now. Oops.

There is no way you ran it for 20k with the wires being out of order, so thats out of the question. And at WOT that thing would be chugging and popping so bad with a mixed up wire, think of all the unburnt fuel starting on fire inside the exhaust and cat converter.

I'd pull the spark plugs first, or just swap them all for 15 bucks with some autolites.

Here's why my CV boot leaked


The clamp is just sitting there

Lordy what a mess! Get out the gloves lol. Man that sucked.

That boot shat itself lol, what a mess.

Yeah that will need to be cleaned up.

Found a way to pack the bearings



Cut a large hole in the grease packet, put it around the race or whatever, and squeezed the grease through the needle bearings.

Everyone in the salt belt needs to pull off their inner wheel well and remove all this crap from behind the fender. Our impala rusted here pretty bad

I did that on my gp even tho I don't have rust
