i was driving down the road and it felt like my engine just started losing power for some reason...its happened twice so far. then i had major brake dust in the rear from my drums...i thought my ebrake cable was sticking causing the rear to wear prematurely propogating the dust...
i also thought that this maybe the reason the engine felt like it was losing power...iunbolted the ebrake bracket under the armrest for something and i didnt move ne thing...i bolted it back down and thys seems to be happening..coincidence maybe?
finally my clock is dim as hell and kinda fades out on the road...i took it out of my old eg and it worked fine in there...it faded out at the same time the engine felt as if it lost power...sounds serious? ne thoughts

your drums might be sticking you need to get back there and pull the drum off and see whats binding them up if the car sat for a while its a little rusty you might have a bad alternator or a bad ground to your motor

worked for me

it sounds like your engine is losing power due to some kind of power problem I would say run through your groundsand make sure they are clean, and clean your terminals really well.

ok im bout to go outside and try it..thanx

the brakes aren't sticking and the engine just ran strong when i took it for a 50 min test drive thru some back roads...the clock is still dim as hell...maybe its just the daylight that makes it seem dim...im going to add a capacitor to my stereo that i have laying around...maybe that'll help a lil

try to get some of those high performance ground wires i hear they help out with surges and horsepower

yeah i just did some searching in the audio/video forum and they said the best thing to do is to upgrade your ground wires...i can see a trip to radio shack in the future

yeah I've made those thing's out of the ground wire that they sell at the stereo store, just get the little connectors and bolst them down from the eng to the body, that **** helps your idle and makes your lights alittle brighter. good luck

what gauge wire did u use from the valve cover to the chassis and the tranny to the chassis if u remember?

I've heard that 4 to 8 guage wire works the best
