Did not receive. PMed, we'll see if it works inbound.

Seems like a good time to remind about The 510 Archives, and specifically the DQ backissue folder:

Well the question of the day relates to how to keep me quiet. What I'm looking for is the answer to the eternal question, "If I wanted to make carburetor induction sucking noise the loudest thing I hear, and I'm not interested in wringing every HP out of the motor, what muffler wouild you choose?" ...

I also have whatever this all is: Various old bits-n-bobs.jpg Looks like: 1 halfshaft 1 e-brake interior mechanism/lever 1 early metal transmission tunnel/shifter piece with ring 2 early defroster ducts 1 cowl 1 front-of-dash-under-the-windshield trim piece - this is the one-piece trim for the early...

Greetings 510 Realm!

I found I never sold off the '69 heater core, as I just found it on the shelf in the garage. Good condition, hasn't seen coolant in 20 years. $100 shipped US.

Valves readily available. What to build and what to use it on depends on your goals. You'd want to verify whatever head you want to put money into is sound, flat, and true. THEN, calculate the chamber size to plan out a compression ratio, all before spending money. Easy to discuss stock heads. Once ...

Apropo of nothing specific to your question, but I ran a '95 KA24DE on an auto ECU and harness even though I had a manual trans. Wiring also wanted the crank position sensor mounted in the bellhousing, which I did not have hooked up either. No problems, ran great.

Different shops like different measurements. Call your shop and ask how they want the measurement taken.

OP, get your hands on a copy of the How To Hotrod book. All the L16/L18 hot-rodding tips you could want. At least give you a good base. People like Rebello and Troy have taken the game on, but at a cost of cubic dollars.

Digital copy of HtH is up at The 510 Archives.

I see no lie, you did buy a new car.

So...these kits are adapters/CVs/axles. If the CVs are poor and the rest of the bits are in good condition, why not just get some better CVs? They're cheap, compared to getting a whole new kit. Ran the Lobro parts (CVs and boots) with Matt's v1 adapters, no gaskets for the boots, never had grease es...
