RE: Autopower Rollbar

mount the main hoop as far back as you can, right in the corner where the floor steps up the the back seat. It will allow you to have full movement of the seat. Mine still rests against the bar with it this far back. As for the legs, if you don't mind loosing the back seat, mount them to the shock t...

thanks, have you ever had problems with the derlin bushings breaking up? I've heard that it likes to disintegrate after a while. I'd think that the longevity of a heim joint may be one of the reasons to go with that set up.

byron, do you have any pictures of the kontroll T/C rod bushing? Where are they available from? I was also wondering about the mounting point of the T/C rod to the control arm. Why not get rid of the stock mount all together and just use a heim joint the at bolts to the stock location? I would think...

i used a TIG, but you can easily do it with a MIG. just set the thing low, like about 60 amps or something, and set the wire speed low, and it will work. all exhaust shops use MIGs. just make sure you try it on some pieces so that you can get the settings just right, and go at it. the one thing to r...

just look around the manifold and look for any fittings that could be leaking (like the crank case vent valve, for example) and block off any thing that could leak. i just ended up welding up all the holes in my manifold and running the crankcase and valve cover vents to a catch can. took care of an...

well, if you got a pop it sounds like there is fuel. check to make sure that the plugs aren't fouled, check the distributor and make sure that timing isn't off. it sounds like your getting fuel and air, so my guess is that its ignition related. maybe also try without the chokes on. i don't even use ...

well, if you are trying it in the state of the photo, you have one hell of a vacume leak. the valve for the crank case vent between the carbs should be hooked up to something or blocked off. i have no idea what any of the circled thing are, but they don't look like they would affect the car running ...

faster steering ratio

Im looking to make the steering ratio faster on my 510. Ive looked into rack and pinion, but haven't really seen any good solutions without flipping the crossmember (i don't want to use a front mounted rack). So I was wondering if anybody out there knew of someplace I could get new gears for the ste...
