QUOTE(Cairo94507 @ May 13 2011, 06:12 AM)  Enrique: Please see the thread posted re the two rolling CA chassis, a '70 and a '75 (I think) that are in great condition by Thomas J. Bliznik. I was thinking of the '70 for your cousin unless she is looking for one that is already a driver. I did see that, but we are looking for something more complete and more local. Thanks for the heads up though! It's much appreciated! |

Buttoned up the Alternator today. I took my Dads advice, he said the Red and Grey on the fan and ring made the engine look like a fruit salad, so now they match the valve covers.

Little lax on the updates, but I'm still working away! Got the /6 steering wheel out of it's storage bin, disassembled it, cleaned it, and it's now on the car. Same goes for the linkage. What a b**ch to get on the car though! Mostly because;A) The splines have to line up, and B) the ridge for the bolt has to match up. Much easier with the steering wheel off, and the seat out of the car.
The way I did it was pushing thew rod in first (with both U-joints attached to each end) and hooked it to the steering rack. Then I put in the /6 steering setup. A little trickier then doing it in reverse order, but much more comfortable as your looking down into the steering mount, rather than upside-down looking up into the dash.

Note for those using the stick /6 motor mount with newer engines. You MUST either backdate the pulley ring (ie, find an older one) or 'shave' the current one you have. The newer ones will NOT work with the STOCK /6 mount, as they had an additional 'trench' for what I assume is a smog pump, AC, or something of the sort.
My Grandfather really likes being able to help me, as he is here with the lathe and the lower pulley wheel.... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i16.photobucket.com-9478-1306883611.1.jpg) Also note: remember to not only 'shave' the pulley so that it will fit in the motor mount, but also to shave enough so you can fit the belt inside. Almost forgot about this, which would result having to pull the engine every time I would need to change the belt.

That would be for the AC; you can do what you did or go to the dealership and get a single pulley for a non-AC car like I did for my 3.2
Then it fits just fine. |

Also, forgot to mention that (IMG:style_emoticons/default/051103-stupid4.gif)
Had the carbs, manifolds, and linkage assembled..... and forgot to put in the isolators.... So of course, I have to take the entire assembly apart to put in the isolators and gaskets..... please learn from my mistake....

Additionally, another lesson to learn from my mistakes....
I was getting a clearance issue that I didn't realize until I tried to put on my brakes. I had previously converted to 911 style suspension. Checked the bearings, all good. Tightened? Yeah, it's correct. Thrust washer? Check, got it. I was left there scratching my head until I got ahold of Eric Shea... within about 40 minutes I get a message back, and what do you know, he was right. I was missing the O-ring and spacer that you put on to the spindle FIRST, followed by the inner bearing, etc, etc. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i16.photobucket.com-9478-1307568096.1.jpg) |

Ordered a bunch of stuff from PMB Performance today, rear brake resto, rotors, lines, etc. Man do I love ordering from Eric, everything is so simple, and I swear the man has infinite patients even for questions he probably hears 30 times a day from 30 different people.
While waiting on the stuff to arrive, I've decided to tackle my front Sway bar. I'm not quite sure the brand, but I do know it's a 22mm. I've already drilled one side, and am about to set up the other. From what I understand about sway bars so far, is that it is better to have the type that 'sandwich' the fender well; that is, having the triangular supports on the outside and in the recess below the gas tank. Unfortunately, even though my sway bar is aftermarket and 'bigger', it either didn't have the inside support plates or the PO of the 73' I pulled it off of didn't think it necessary to install them.

More on the swaybar installation....
I don't like the look of having a cut hole below the gastank (like they do on the Pelican board) If your going to cut into your body, you should patch it up, and do it right, just my opinion. I know now one will ever see it, but I'll still know its there... Took this cut a little deeper and straighter. After everything fabricated up, I'll 'box' the sheet metal back in so that everything is nice and 'pretty' again. the hardest part was getting the 'seam' portion where the spot welds are, it's very tight in there, and not the best angle for working. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i16.photobucket.com-9478-1307906022.1.jpg) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i16.photobucket.com-9478-1307906022.2.jpg) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i16.photobucket.com-9478-1307906023.3.jpg) |

On Friday for the last 2 hours of the day, I had my Grandfather and Uncle in the Machine Shop portion of the business was running this ignition part, sway bar plates I asked for, and setting up the tooling for the rear rotors to be drilled to 5 lug. I'm keeping the drilled hubs until I get on the road, then I'll be adding some 911 gear.
