The disc failed. Pulled it all apart. Resurfaced the flywheel. Went to install the clutch yesterday. The supplied pilot bearing was wrong. Bought one locally. The pressure plate bolts reached torque before contacting the flywheel. After removing the pressure plate and a close inspection the...

Tonys video explains it all very clearly. The cable type does not change the geometry. It's pivot to pin location. The aftermarket cables are nice do to extra length. You can get quite creative by just making a simple bracket to hold the cable. Notice th elack of bell cranks and ugly mounts in...

My dad was on the B body styling team during 63-64. They made deal with engineering to change the cowl, windshield, and roof. The stipulation? The fenders, hood and doors had to fit the 63 outer cowl shape. This was so the firewall, inner fender, A pillar, B pillar parts could remain. Doug

Once you get used to the feel of rotational torque you can sneak up on it with the impact gun. Tighten a bit, rotate for feel, tighten check and so on. Did many like this in my dealership days. Got to the point where nothing was measured. All by feel. Doug

I just saw a stainless K memberbefore PRI. I was handed a titanium K member once. He held it out to me with one hand. Doug

Only about 9000lbs plus the trailer. It actually towed really nice. Doug

If only the lock up solonoid was stuck it would only cause the engine to stall at stops. It wouldn't have hurt anything else. I'm assuming this is an A998 trans (basically a lock up 904). This trans is more than strong enough for your combo. What doesn't function now? I can fix it if it's broke...

We broke in with a wooden spoon and a fly swatter out of the camper. Scott had pulled his winch out of his trailer. We mounted it on Daves trailer. Had...

Congrats, Sometimes you need those .001 wins to get it done. Doug

OP master Joined: Mar 2006 Posts: 9,849 MI, usa So I didn't elaborate on my entire trip in Saturday. My son Scott and I went down to Columbus For the weekends Buckeye stock S/S races. Started by running into a freeway closure so jumped over to US23. A Chysler 300 vs semi shut that down at the...

Lost first rd at the Buckeye stock S/S event at Columbus. Did win $100 for the best 1st rd losing package. Gave up the stripe, .0115 computer said If I ran it all out it would've been .0120 quicker. Try again tomorrow. Doug

Na, just run it around 4200. Doug

Well that answers that question. Doug

I've driven my Volare with 4.30's from northwest of Detroit to Columbus a few times.
