  1. I think that's not recoverable
  2. You could always take the door to the paint shop. Have them scan it and see which formulation the scan is closer to
  3. I would go with Bumper Automobile I believe
  4. Slow poke! Its 5 o'clock somewhere! 😉
  5. Been there; done that! 😞
  6. Cerium oxide is the traditional method but I routinely polish glass for Cody's car with paint cutting and polishing compounds. Works good, but wont remove the really deep scratches
  7. Why did you need to switch tanks for the LS swap? Thats an EFI tank. Are the lines not large enough?
  8. If I were gonna try this, I would scrape a small area with a razor blade and then polish the glass with something like meguiars mirror glaze on an electric buffer
  9. Five years thats SOP. It takes that long to come to the top of the "todo" list
  10. I knew it would be a trek for CO but I was hoping he knew somebody closer to the car since he was semi local
  11. I agree, that sounds like a clearance noise. Start with valve lash first Then record again
  12. There have been cases of pickup tubes being bad and causing issues at less than full levels
  13. That was probably a pretty car in the original paint color
  14. Didn't we have a topic a couple of years ago of somebody wanting to repop these?
  15. The stock EFI doesn't like performance camshafts Also I doubt your camshaft is the main problem...

    So I did some measuring Current gear offset is .112 (2.84mm) With the case on and the shaft down as far as it will go the projection into the bellhousing is .110 (2.79mm) With it pulled forward for the snap ring the projection is .195 (4.95mm) The difference is .085 (2.16mm) so the gear offset appears to be .027 (0.69mm)?
  17. I am not the resident efi expert but I'm sure one will chime in. You seem to have hot a lot of the trouble areas already. If it were me I would rig up a fuel pressure gauge I could see from the drivers seat. I suspect your pressure is dropping off. If the pressure holds I would pull the injectors and do a flow test into cups
  18. Be careful running your starter that long! You can burn it up
  19. At least on my car, they need to clamp pretty hard to hold the panel in
  20. You need to put that next inspection on your calendar 1/1/2099!

    There is an online retailer Theujoint store Email them and see if they can cross reference them

    Your old schumacher is very similar to my old one except I had an auto switch down on the left

    I'm afraid your right. I may have to go shopping for a vintage unit. I wonder if my old unit can be repaired?
