The 510 Realm

Been thinking and looking up more information, looks like i can get replacement L18 pistons on rockauto, or get some 86mm flattops from an L28. Anyone running Flattop L18 with a closed chamber head? From what I can gather the compression ratio would not be too high for a regular street build that I ...

Busy Busy Busy... Its been warming up here in the PDX area, So I have actually been able to paint. Heres my 2.25 Exhaust and the header I purchased from Troy Ermish.

Steering box Starting with the steering box, drained the oil with a big syringe and replaced with the only oil somewhat similar in my garage, replaced the breather plug with a 3/8...

Well the 510 wasn't ready for Canby. But I did make it out on Saturday with the on-again off-again rain, Didn't feel like taking pictures but it was extremely cool to see all the cars and people.

Also have a Holley 1 to 4 Fuel psi pressure regulator on the 3/8 line going back to the tank. Regulator has one inlet and two outlets so hoping t...

Here's hoping that i can get it finished before Canby (and i get a day off as well) was hoping to drive it there last year but still had a list of stuff i didnt think about.

Finally got the manifold studs I needed. Ordered some a few months ago but was lost or stolen in the mail. Heres the ones I got - http://www.thezstore.com/page/TZS/PROD/15-8082 , couldn't find a reliable source for 4-cyl manifold bolts so got a set from a 6-cyl and got a few backups for my collectio...

Still sitting on jackstands, but after a year finally have a decent photo for my wallpaper.

Tranny mounted today, and front sway bar. Last couple of weeks of my free time. Wifes car is a kia spectra and i've always liked her shift knob better than the cheap ebay knobs, so found a Spectra 5 (04-09) leather shift knob for $20 on craigslist. PN for anyone interested P8190-2F000, a little tape...

Mocking up the wheels (turned in a little)

Thanks for the tip, will definitely change that over when ive got the extra bucks to do so.

New solex twincam locks; ebay for $43.00, seller looked sketchy but they're the real deal, http://i.imgur.com/4uYcu9m.jpg I got the lights working correctly! After digging up my old headlight relay, I pulled the new one i bo...

Youve got time, just left for work so i will be in California for a few days before heading back north, home. New fuses, new headlights, cleaned the fusebox already. I have a print off of the wiring diagram and when i get home i will try and label any changes i notice that my car has compared to the...

Now i have an issue, with the battery installed (ignition to off) the front marker lights(below the headlights), and inspection lamp stay on. Putting the cable on the battery, i can hear the relay (This one i purchased from user Grinder http://www.the510realm.com/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=29006&p...
