Nope, you'll be fine. You'd have to remove the valve body, etc.....to access any check balls.

Re: Spark Plug Wire Set for use with Dyno Don's Headers

Same here. Bought two sets of Accel wires and went under the headers. Gives it a really clean look.

Re: Remote Fan Cooled Transmission Cooler location

Front of the car....is the most effective. With a fan you can run it in back or underneath, as longs as there's some sort of airflow.

Re: 18” Rocket Racing wheels

IMHO the back spacing is to much on both of them. They'll probably sit too far under the car.

However, it depends on what look you're going for.

You'll be fine. Just make sure they're wrapped in some kind of heat shield protection.

Re: 87 GTA T/A TPI NO START - Losing my mind

Unless I missed this. When you you put the ADS prom back in, does it run?

Also, check your plugs. Fouled out plugs from too much fuel, will cause a no start or a rough initial run.

The brake switch can have one 12v wire that goes to the TCC. When you brake, the (normally closed) switch opens, which disengages the converter clutch so the car doesn't stall.
