    Plugs and wires

    Hi Group! on my completely stock, original 97 GTS I was told to run the Champion 438 plugs (RC12ECC) which I already bought. Now looking for a set of wires. are the Quality wires still the wire of choice here or is that personal preference for some? I’m looking for a decent set to run. The car...

    Napa Green Antifreeze ok? 1997 Viper…

    Hi guys. Is the Napa green antifreeze concentrate ok to use in our cars? The bottle says 1990 and earlier Chrysler. Id like to stay with green instead of worrying about flushing all the old stuff out and switching to a different color type. Thoughts? Thank you.

    New Radiator from X2Builders

    Does anyone have any experience with these radiators as of late? Quality? How well they cool? How is the “fit” as there were issues with the inlet early on being at the wrong angle…. I think this has been resolved though over the years?

    Major Oil Leak Help

    Did you check if the old seal from the old filter was still stuck to the housing when the old filter was removed? I’ve seen that happen…then you end up with double gaskets and a leak!

    Recommended oil for heads/cam

    I always heard that the older flat tappet cars get the high zinc and phos oil. I have older cars so for them, I give them nothing but Brad Penn Racing oil. i also heard using oils with high zinc and phos is NOT good for the newer cars as this kind of oil plugs up your cats! I have no first hand...

    Interesting, will be following….I thought mine was out also, same side, but if you look very closely, it still blinks VERY dim. Was going to try changing the bulb but was unsure where to begin.

    Power steering issue on my '96 GTS

    Most brands I think end in the same 810 number for AC cars. You would have been ok going with a different brand. Thats the belt length.

    Power steering issue on my '96 GTS

    Hopefully someone else can chime in , in regards to your belt # because I think I remember reading that in 96 it could be different from car to car due to early/later builds? The 96 listings may not be correct. I seem to recall reading that. Something to do with the possibility of having an...

    Power steering issue on my '96 GTS

    With the belt off, inspect your tensioner and idler pulliey. Spin them and see how they feel/sound. If you do not know how old the belt is, I would replace now. And get a new tensioner. Rock auto sells these. I used the Cardone PS pulley on mine, it’s black and looks stock. It’s also metal. The...

    Power steering issue on my '96 GTS

    Like Steve-Indy said, look at your PS pulley and bracket first. VERY common failure here. These cars are easy to work on and you can most likely do this yourself. I did mine in about an hour.
