The heading clearly states " LINK ". So I see no wrong here , seems that you are on a campaign to run for an administrator/monitor/super moderator position on this site .

Yep, a cheapy , look at the emergency hand brake, to bad that they are using the Datsun brand for basic cars. Back in the day the 510 was a cheapy but had some nice features in comparison with others cars . This GO is just plain transportation cheap

What accessories is everyone running?
PLATA replied to caperix's topic in Gen I & II Chevy V8 Tech Board
My beast has the A/C bracket from JOHN'S JAG Z v8 conversion kit , it mounts on the pwr/steering LS1 original placement with GM serpentine belt >> and alternator -
Early Z's are very thin skin, with tiny bumpers, not much safety when built back in the early days, later Z's had larger bumpers and thicker skin , just be aware that there some real @$$'s out on the road, drive on the look out/in safety mode and " ENJOY THE RIDE " . FWIW

Yep, glad this mini episode is over, she is acting and running like an award winner porn star . Next on the agenda if absolute necessary is to do ECM commands fix to radiator fans
-
Thanks for the info . I ask again , is it OK to leave the current set up via an external none ECM signal for fans and aftermarket A/C unit. I do like the idea of a clear CEL

^^^ THANKS FOR THE TIPS

^^^ again THANKS, does the aftermarket A/C unit fan function be OK
-
mattd428, THANKS , I will see if can convince one of my local chevy guys on assist with this remedy, I am paranoid when it comes to electronic's

OK, whats the remedy . The + or - in my set up

Rebekahsz, that is a very accurate sentiment on this Z addiction . Yes the $$$$$$'s we dish out is only understood by true Z addicts , I have a hate/love type syndrome with my Z. Want to sell one day, next day she gives me a hard one , or gives me smiles, next day I want to sell.........see the picture, but hey she is my other woman. old,smelly( mine does no brake down much ) but she shines and she is friggin' awesome
-
ECM control for fans according to PO was not sending signals for proper operation, that engine and harness/ECM came from an automatic car . She has an T5/6 spd ,is this an issue to remedy or leave it as it is now
