Weather dot com is predicting snow showers for my area, Tuesday night through Wednesday morning. With a low near 20, and a high of 33.
We may be in for "Snowpocalypse - The Sequel". Or not.

Edit... They've changed the forecast since yesterday.
Now it's PM snow showers, Tuesday night, with a low of 15.
AM ice, Friday morning, with a low of 29.

So we might still get a chance to sit in the dark.

I've read where there is a procedure where you just grasp the tv cable near where it goes into the transmission and pull up on it.  That readjusts it.  Maybe someone else can confirm that or correct me.

If you mean the 88 Warrior Project, I think everything in the engine bay burned.  But if you will, check.  It may still be good.

Tech Tips, Tech Questions / Indy not shifting.

« Last post by Tha Driver on January 13, 2025, 06:58:33 pm »

So the Indy has decided not to shift for some reason... While working on it recently I replaced the trans (TV?) cable as the old one was frayed. It is all hooked up & working correctly, but I'm wondering if the cable is just poor quality or the wrong length or some such crap as that. Anyone have any ideas? What will happen if I just dis-connect it? Will it shift early if that is the problem? What else could cause it not to shift? It's full of fluid & was working fine when driven before, but it sits for a while between driving it sometimes...
Thanks,
Paul

Hi Charlie, The '88 (& maybe other cars) should have an original cable but of course I keep forgetting to check it... I'll try to remember tomorrow.
Thanks,
Paul

We actually kept our lights on, for the duration. I was very surprised.
We had 3-4" of snow. Rome apparently only got 1"

A similar story here. My wife was from Massachusetts and we lined in Atlanta for two and a half years when we got married, then we moved to Massachusetts.

We lived there until a blizzard dropped between 3 and 6 feet of snow and shut down our highways for a solid week. She decided we should move back to Georgia.

I know this is nothing like what you guys are experiencing but a lifetime ago I worked in Chattanooga and lived on Signal Mountain. Being from southeast Louisiana I wanted to experience a true winter or two with some snow. I loved it on Signal but after spending a long weekend back in New Orleans I returned to my log cabin apartment late on a Sunday night only to find the water in the toilet bowl had frozen solid. I moved back to New Orleans 4 months later!

Come on and tell us about something that happened, but don't snow us.😉

The Market / Want To Buy: Positive Battery Cable

« Last post by Fierofool on January 07, 2025, 07:59:58 pm »

Hey guys.  And gals.  I need an OEM positive battery cable for a V6.  The ones at The Fiero Store and all the auto parts stores don't have the same terminal design as OEM.  Some don't have the wire going to the C500, and some require a splice on that wire. 

I think my starter continued running and the constant power draw for about 2 miles melted the cable out of the terminal end.  I had a loud whine from the time I started it until it shut down on me.
