I have been researching using Ridetech 58-64 Impala coilover stuff on my 72, but they just posted these up on their site today: http://www.ridetech.com/store/1963-1967-c2-corvette-coilover-system.html Phil

Interested in pics of modified lever and how it fits in console, I have shortest version of Long straight lever, but find it to still have too much travel. I also found the faceplate conversion of 1-2 and 3-4 to make the ROD a much better transmission to shift given how heavy the gears are...

Using a teflon lined braided hose like Aeroquip TFE will eliminate the fuel smell and lining breakdown over time. I have them for most of my FI fuel lines and PS hoses as well. Not the cheapest, but reusable and will probably outlast the car. Another option for a retrofit intank pump is to...

Bellhousing sold.

I have used the original B&B style Street Twin behind a 600hp 468 for 12 years with great results. Part # 64001B-3C-07. They show a 1200hp rating on that kit. The entire assembly weighs a total of 49 lbs. with the steel flywheel being 22 of that. Their catalog still shows lighter aluminum...

My experience with the Richmonds is that out of the box shift quality will improve to a point, but will never match the ST10 or Muncie simply due to the heavier gearsets and wider distance between main and cluster shaft. Higher RPM shifts magnify the effort. I have Long shifter and it does...

I need some thoughts from you guys on this: It has always been my understanding that tie rod length for each side should ideally be the same. It has generally worked out this way for me in the real world also with some minor variation of 1/16-1/8 inch being acceptable. After making time and...

While cleaning out some boxes last weekend I found these pics of a car I had forgotten about. 1970 Nova, first car I owned, began learning about all the fun things of a fast car including how to drain your wallet. Had to sell for bills, family, etc. Pics are probably from 1991 right before I...

Check out Quicktime. http://www.quicktimeinc.com/index.html I think they have what you want -Part# RM-9023 SB/BB/LT1 to LT1 T56 Transmission, but give them a call to be sure. Good people to work with. I am using one of their 168 tooth bellhousings on a BB/ROD install, nice piece, very...

Glad to hear you ended up going with the system. If I remember right we exchanged some emails on this after I did my install. You will definitely like it, been rock solid for me, just have needed minor timing and fuel pressure adjustments. The nice thing is that since it is just a Ford EEC IV...

Thanks - I can't take full credit for the ebrake cable attachment. I called Guldstrand's shop and the man himself explained how they made them work with the 5 links. Very nice guy. Phil

Hockey puck install as promised. I don't have the car on the lift to get a better shot but there is another in about the same place on the other side. I notched the puck to sit at the desired height and have a countersunk machine screw through the top of each into the crossmember. It has...

Here are 2 pics I dug up when I was going through the process - I'll go out tonight and get some updated ones and one of the 'professional' hockey puck install. This shows the modified diff bracket - I just ground off the factory welds on the two bolt reinforcement places, redrilled the front...

Reading this thread is giving me flashbacks to a process that I would prefer to forget. Like you guys, my car had the pinion angle at -.5 degrees, Richmond 5 was down 3 degrees. The first issue I found was the floorboard sagging which apparently is a common issue on the fiberglass floor cars...

Pretty cool stuff, some guy in Wisconsin builds a Lambo from scratch in his basement....make sure you check out the builder's site too. http://jalopnik.com/5065896/hand+made-lamborghini-built-in-basement-finally-sees-light-of-day Phil
