Has anyone successfully used the USCartool A500 Crossmember?
With the car chassis level and shimmed on jack stands, I used two angle degree finders to set this in. I set one angle finder on the carb pad on the intake manifold, stuck the other to the machined pad for the timing cover. When carb base was at 0° dead level, the engine and trans were 3° angled down. I increased that to 4° and figure I can always shim up.
And yes, ya gotta cut quite a lot out of that hoop to make it fit.
