Works fine for me too. I've tried posting pictures from Dropbox and imgur and neither are as simple as photo bucket in my experience, even if it does suck. [editline]31st August 2014[/editline] I've got a thousands of pictures in my photo bucket too
I use [URL="http://puush.me/"]puush[/URL]. No bandwidth limit. Really easy to use client so you don't need to even have the site open when you wanna upload a picture. Can take partial screenshots with a selecting box thing and instantly uploads it. It goes down roughly once a week but only for maybe half an hour. There's also [URL="http://imgur.com/"]imgur [/URL] which is simple and good but I prefer puush for the client so you can do so much more. [editline]1st September 2014[/editline] And here's an example of the instant partial screenshot function: [img]http://puu.sh/bgya7.png[/img]
I use puush for sharing screen shots, I don't keep any pictures on my desktop to upload them with puush.

I've heard ShareX is very close to puush, but I'm used to puush and have no problems with it so I see no point in switching

[QUOTE=Serj22;45819792]Yup, you got it. Just poke around, if you see voltage out of a few of them, you're probably in the clear to just replace the coil.[/QUOTE] Upon testing the "input" green plug, the plug that ends up feeding power to the ignition coil, I didn't read any voltage with the multimeter while cranking it.

[QUOTE=deathmog;45864085]Upon testing the "input" green plug, the plug that ends up feeding power to the ignition coil, I didn't read any voltage with the multimeter while cranking it. Ughh. Where next?[/QUOTE] Shit son, now the coil is out of the equation. We keep working out way back. See if there is an ignition control unit in the engine bay. To find it, trace that wire you just tested back, find the black and red input on the ignition module (which also controls the starter btw) and test the leads behind it. If the leads behind it work, then the module/ box is bad and you can just go get an MSD or some other functioning unit, or stock - doesn't matter. If the leads do not have voltage, then your ignition switch is next to check, and if the switch doesn't have voltage, then the ECU is dead.

[IMG]http://images.oreillyauto.com/parts/img/large/acd/e1914a.jpg[/IMG] This? Yeah its piggybacked on the coil itself. I tested the voltage from the "everything else" side of the (green plug) wire, where everything else connects to the plug on the ICU. I'll try the little black and red wires in a little bit.

Well it wasnt really today, but over the past month, my dad and i have been working on my 89 camaro 2.8L. I drove it down from delaware to florida. The car actually came from florida, but was driven up there in 2012 and i bought it and brought it back a month ago. So far we: replaced an injector in an "Auto zone" parking lot in franklin georgia after it shorted while driving through the mountains replaced cylinders in the rear drum brakes because they were rusted solid had the front disks turned repacked front wheel bearings replaced worn out center link replaced front pinion bearing in the differential (it literally exploded and chunks of it were all over the magnet, including a roller) Put in an old freightliner radio and replaced the blown up speakers (idiot previous owner) Today, gonna put a new fan motor on as it burned out coming home from school so i had to unplug it. Luckily i was only a mile from home Sometime soon: New timing chain (have it but waiting on other parts) New water pump (have it but waiting on other parts) MAF sensor (have it but dont think its needed) TPS New condensor (rockauto shipped the wrong one, then the next one shipped was severely damaged) Possibly the wiring for the injectors as its known to go out IC for the tachometer as it kinda jumps around right now Gonna take a look at the trip counter, its a little stuck(ish) Gotta oil the seatbelt retractor so it pulls in properly Check the catalytic converter find out what that rattling noise is..... Edit Replaced the fan motor. It was a 10 minute job : D
Seems like a total basket case/lot of work for just a v6 car

It also has almost the same amount of HP as the 5L v8, just slightly less torque. Its perfectly balanced, you cant even feel it running. Sounds very cool at an idle, and like nothing else when it revs up. The whole car is basically a learning experience. Could i have bought a more expensive one and just drove it? Yes. would i have gotten to tell a story about driving it down from delaware and replacing an injector in a parking lot? No Aside from that, i now know how to completely redo both disk and drum brakes, take apart a GM differential and replace any bearing, race, seal in it, and how to replace a centerlink. and many other things as well. And i enjoy doing it. Well, except for when the fan motor burnt out on the way home, that kinda sucked. Overall, i really love the car and am glad that i found it after many months of searching. It turns a lot of heads, gets good mileage, and is also pretty speedy for a v6. You dont really ever see a blue camaro, everyone wanted red and the 305 Heres the picture i posted over in the post a picture of your car thread in case you dont look in there.

[QUOTE=Scientwist;45878453]You did good with that car, older GMs like that one tend to be fairly easy to tool on. Not without their issues, but still easier then most. This is, at least, is my experience.[/QUOTE] Other than it being metric, grrr, its nice. The v6 leaves a lot of room under the hood so its easy enough to get at everything without having to remove the radiator and condensor. Also, apparently nobody at GM thought it would be a good idea to drill holes in the power steering pump pulley so you could unbolt it without pulling it. that might have just been a safety issue thing though, as if the bolt came out, it could easily get caught in one of the holes and rip stuff up.
So I drove up to salem a few days ago on a whim to pick up a gauge cluster and a cargo cover for a decent deal. The cluster came without a VSS(speed pulser) so I had to find a casing to clip on the back from the junkyard then super glue my VSS into it. However that was the easy stuff. I wanted to keep my speedo and the guy needed my old cluster for his car to sell. So I had to disassemble two clusters and swap the gauge faces and trip reset levers. Took me about an hour and a half since I didn't have the right screw drivers and had to use pliers really carefully to remove screws. When I got home I had to take some of the levers to the bench grinder since the Si/LX/EX style cluster's lever is shorter by about 1/2". I also had to troubleshoot all the old bulbs and replace what bulbs I could which I did on a $0 junkyard budget since #24 and #74 bulbs are expensive as hell locally. I also took my headlight polisher and cleaned the hell out of the old lens on it. I now have a full fancy interior with tach cluster, clock, lit ashtray and cig lighter. On top of that absolutely everything works and the only light which is out is my hazard switch which has super expensive dealer only bulbs. Excuse my pics taken while driving. When I bought this car only half the cluster lit up and not a single other thing inside the car which made me feel like I was in a dark pit.

Pretty sure the grills are for the 5 1/2" speakers that I got with it but there's no real way to mount them since the whole bottom is cut out. I'm going to be re-wraping the cover in felt too. Do you also have any tips on "quick connectors"? I'd like for this to easily be taken in and out.
Yes, I have tips for quick connectors, use the home audio banana plugs, and banana receiver outlets. Take the outlet apart and drill two small holes, insulate the holes, and insert the receivers. Then you just plug/ unplug as you please. I'd get a 3" or 4" hole saw and at least make sure where you want the speakers is going to have room. Hole saw or angle cutoff will make room in the metal. Take that whole indentation, and fill it with a piece of mdf - all the way across, use contact cement (oil based) on the material that is there, and then glue the board to it. Use small screws from the back to hold it still. Draw out your new speaker holes, use modern speaker grills that come with speakers, and you're good to go. You can then use the same contact cement to wrap it with velvet. Here's the only picture I have of how I did a quick release sub build: [IMG]http://i43.photobucket.com/albums/e356/serj22/P4220281-1.jpg[/IMG] But I use them a lot for exactly what you're talking about.

I'm actively working on an electrical problem on my truck. Whenever I turn on the radio the fuel pump primes. :suicide: WHAT THE FUCK.
In case you guys are ever wondering how turboing a slant 6 is going, I ditched the battery to the trunk to make room for the snail, and intercooler piping. This makes life much easier. I welded up the J pipe, and made provisions on it for the wastegate and bolting it to the block, because this turbo is freaking heavy. I can't have all that weight just dangling off the cast iron manifold - it'll crack.

[video=youtube;7bTpiJLgdzs]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7bTpiJLgdzs[/video] Checking the fuel pump that we rebuilt from back to front. Suspicion of a loose fuel hose in the tank. Low fuel pressure before the fuel filter. So something is definitely wrong in the tank.
You shouldn't have that issue, as long as you replaced that short piece of hose from the pump to the sender's output. You should check pressure right at the sender and see if it's still weak, if it's not that that would mean the line is clogged and you'll need to replace it or if your brave enough just clean it. I'd replace it to be safe. If it's weak either way that would mean you tank if full of garbage and the pump's sock is clogged, you'll need to drop the tank and clean the shit out of it. You may also wind up replacing the filter. Depending how bad that is if it turns out to be such a thing you may have to replace the tank. My buddy has a 91 Nissan Stanza and it's tank was so bad that after 6 cleans he just bought a new one as the rust in it would constantly flake off and clog everything. You can get an idea if that's it by taking a mason jar, pulling the fuel line at the engine and having someone key on for a moment to put some fuel in the jar, it it has a rusty color like a kinda red color that would be a sign. Just make sure to put the line's end at the bottom of the jar if you do this, otherwise you'll cover alot of stuff in gas.
Oh it's a brand new tank. I should have taken a picture of it when it was out of the car. The sock and pump are new but it's using the old retainer for it. So it's probably the electric contacts or one of the hoses aren't clamped on properly. If the lines are dirty, I'm just going to replace them all. I just hope nothing is messed up with the injector itself. But I'll find out about that when I get to it.
