'96 Century general project thread

[LeftVentricle]

If its an aftermarket crank pulley, its probably the ring and not the sensor. It sounds like you have a bad computer too though, if it didn't throw any codes while the other one did. Glad you had a successful fishing trip on that injector clip

That is the 3rd PCM I've put in it. The original one wouldn't communicate with the emissions testing station's computer (that's a fail of the test), so I swapped the white wagon's original PCM (which passed). Now it's running the '97 PCM I got from Milzy, which works well enough. Not sure what it is about the '96 PCMs that suck so badly.

As for the crank sensor stuff, I don't know if the balancer was replaced prior to my acquisition of the car. I'll find that out later, I suppose, but as I said, I'm not terribly concerned at the moment.

Considering this at some point in the future.

Someone on the A-body forum did a write-up on making your own coilovers a while back, but the owner took the site down at the end of 2023 without any notice, and all of the years of knowledge stored there is gone.

I don't recall who originally did the coilover swap, but it left something to be desired. At one point, I did a bunch of research and came up with part numbers for everything that should have made for a real nice setup, but I never got around to doing it. Mitch (zalorian) did though, on Steve's 5-speed Celebrity and he did that nice tutorial thread. I'm betting that Mitch still has all the part numbers and sources saved.
