    speedway motors electric brake kit

    larger discs is something to think about, I think I may be able to fit just under 12" inside my wheel, but the tires never occurred to me I currently have 165/70 15, and was going to switch them out for 195/60 15 to improve the handling, that's about as big as I can go right now with the...

    speedway motors electric brake kit

    I didn't think of the bigger discs up front, everything else was new and flushed etc after a couple of weeks of "annoyance" thanks for this on my other vehicles I just switch everything to EBC rotors/pads, but couldn't find any EBC rotors for the car just the pads, I dont trust powerstop...

    speedway motors electric brake kit

    ok, this I can look into, would it be the one used on later years. Once again though, its a tight fit, so if its any bigger than what I have now, I'll need to get the hammer out !)

    speedway motors electric brake kit

    I live in the city, too many near misses last summer drivng it around, way too many people that just pull out in front, or change lanes and slam their brakes to make a turn. The guy I bought it from lived out in the country, and the previous owner was only drag racing it so they had no need to...

    Wrong sway bar

    the sway bar is in storage, but its the kit from pst 1 1/8" Front Sway Bar and here's some more pics don't mind the spill absorbent on that last one, left over from when I was trying to solve the puking issue

    Wrong sway bar

    that explains why there's one sway bar for earlier years that attaches to the lower shock mount, and another for the later years that attaches to the middle of the LCA, I've often wondered why that was.... thanks whatever happens the oil pan is being changed

    Wrong sway bar

    wow, I am always awed by the knowledge of the guys and gals here when they spot something in a picture from what I can tell looking at other pics this summer its likely 72 and older big block k member the pst sway bar is meant to attach to the lower shock mounts but wont even go inbetween the...

    Wrong sway bar

    sooooooooooo, been a while sorry, between the commie flu slowing me down and the 7yo having the last two weeks of summer camps being cancelled I ended up dropping off the car with family of mechanics, they like carbs, especially the ones that drink lots of fuel they had no luck getting a sway...

    451 overheating, even when moving

    Not enough space end to end where the factory bar should mount either.... Wrong sway bar might be able to get one for a later model year on, but that's a different subject ;)

    451 overheating, even when moving

    Quick update, while the front suspension is in pieces. It's been driving on city streets at 180 Stop lights reaches 190 And on the highway it dips towards 175 I haven't been able to get a shroud on the rad yet, as I've trying to figure out how to get a sway bar on without having to change the...

    Wrong sway bar

    Agreed, I had another look/think and came to the conclusion it's not the engine, but rather the oil pan which is why the front is so jacked up, bringing the LCAs closer together. Right now with the car on the ground the sway bar nearly contacts the spindles. The huge oil pan sits around 2...

    Wrong sway bar

    After a bit more reading I think the problem is how the torsion bars are cranked to lift the LCAs to support the big block, seems the original sway bars are 44" centre to centre. The bigger tbars should help sort this, I'll know better once they are in and ride height is set.

    Wrong sway bar

    I was checking on the pst front sway bar that was sent along with the other suspension goodies and it might be the wrong one. When I bring it up to the control lower control arms it nearly touches the spindles, this may be because I was sent the wrong bar or my suspension is cranked up to...

    LCA placement with 1.03 torsion bars

    Sorry forgot to write should the LCAs be at ride level when installing the tbars, as it seems the factory/stock tbars require LCAs to be hanging down. At which point the LCAs may not match up to ride level when inserting the tbars, so is it best for them to be a bit higher or lower before...

    LCA placement with 1.03 torsion bars

    Morning everyone. I'm getting ready to install some PST 1.03 tbars, the general consensus is the lower control arms should be at ride height, or close to with these tbars. Should they be slightly higher or lower than ride height for final adjustment? I'll be swapping the pizza cutter...

    451 overheating, even when moving

    Took it out last night, 20 min drive on city streets to a show. It was about 25 (75 or 80f) and the gauge didn't go much past 180 while moving. It creeped up to around 190 when stopped, and those miserysauga lights can stay red for close to 2 minutes. I haven't managed test the hose temps with...

    451 overheating, even when moving

    It's with the hood off, but good idea, I'll give it a try as it's easy to pull it off and put it back on. Thanks!

    451 overheating, even when moving

    Another day another test Nice clean rad Upper hose shortened and filter added 1.5" spacer on the fan New water pump, with a gasket, none of that RTV stuff Flushed as much out of the engine as possible Today's temp 30, 35 with humidity (maybe 90f) 2 mins after starting 133 top hose into...

    Tank already has them, but it doesn't hurt to point this out. Thanks!

    451 overheating, even when moving

    I have a fibreglass hood as well with a big 3 or 4 inch scoop, so it couldn't hurt to try this. Thanks!

    451 overheating, even when moving

    A lot of the bits are orange, pretty sure that's RTV in there as well, and yes a filter is a good idea, got one coming today. Thanks! There's even orange RTV being used to seal the exhaust at the collector, maybe it was red at one time and faded over the years.

    Adding a vapor can

    Air filter base, seems pretty genius to me!!! I'll do some more reading on that idea and have a poke around and see if there's a spot to run a hose/line into. Thanks

    Adding a vapor can

    I thought so much. What about passing it through a canister and then venting it outside the car?

    Adding a vapor can

    While I wait for my rad to come back from the shop I'm using the time to take care of some other little things, one of which is the obnoxious smell of gas vapors wasting money and power. I have a fuel cell in the trunk and some hose looped around acting as a vent but it empies into the trunk...
