does any one here know of a good source for potentiometers? specifically a 0 - 5k ohm one?

I am curious as to both the price and the hassle. Sorry that sucks.

100$ for the brand new water pump from the Cadillac stealership, 50$ for a rebuilt one from an autoparts store but everything I read said nothing but a brand new one works... Another 25$ for the specialty tool to get the actual water pump out, 15$ for the new belt and cover plate gasket.

All in all I ended up spending ~200$ and 3hrs. The book time is 3hrs so it isn't to bad, hate to see what a dealer would charge to change it.

The actual work is fairly easy, I took plenty of time and didn't hurry anything. I could have been done in almost half the time if the back bolt holding the cover plate on wasn't hidden behind the biggest wire bundle EVER.

In order to change it you have to pull a belt cover off (its driven off the front bank's top camshaft), loosen the belt, pull the tensioner pulley off to remove the belt. Next you unbolt four bolts to get the front plate off, insert your special do-hicky thing-a-ma-jog tool into the hole, get 'er lined up and push like hell; it's an 1/8 turn cam-lock on the water pump. After that it'll just pull right out, clean the plates and o-ring spots up, stick the new water pump in the same way it came out and bolt it all back together and your ready to run.

$100 for a GM water pump isn't terrible, that's cheaper than one for an LT1

Thankfully they didn't do something as stupid as putting the water pump right above a damn optispark...

The only superchargers that we have at home are bolted on the side of 6-71 Detroits.

they go on the side rather than on top?

nifty

Indeed, they are 2cycle engines with holes in the side of the block that it blows into.

Have you looked at www.digi-key.com? They have friggin everything. I've bought twice from them and they are very good and timely.

Powerdyne from my SHO. Same unit Dinan used on the M3's. Sealed Centrifugal type. Could be useful if I owned a car I wanted to put it on.

I did a Momentum article on an M3 with the full Dinan package with that exact Powerdyne. I just went to look and my old Photodump account is dead, or I have long forgotten the password. In addition, I checked on CS.org and the server is busy so I cannot link the article. Wrote it some 4 years ago, but still applicable in this instance.

I miss writing for Momentum, in a way I would like to restart the Mag. I know Neil enjoys writing, and maybe we could get a few others to bring it back to life supported here. I know AudioJunkies is there for a reason, but maybe bringing back Momentum which was more focused on the average experienced audio and automotive nut on the net would be worth it.

I'd love to see your article.

Or Mouser, Jameco, MCM, maybe Antique Electronic Supply for the really obscure pots/multi-stage variable caps...

If those places don't have it there's a good chance it wasn't made

I did manage to get my sister to eat a a corn chip dipped into a bowl of Dave's Insanity Sauce once....hehehe

I use Dave's Insanity in sandwiches Great stuff when you don't feel like feeling your tongue for an evening. But I don't fuck with the extracts...at least I enjoy sauces for a little bit...

Back to the apartment. On in a few.

I've seen you with hot sauces, if you're putting dave's insanity on your sandwiches you're diluting that shit like crazy first.
