I looked into auto transport when I wanted to move a car to MI from CA & that industry is so full of scammers & shakedowns, I ended up driving. Having said that, I know Mudship works well & you should at least contact the referrals mentioned above. If it was me & the beast ran well enough, I'd...
Toss that old unit & upgrade to the 2F alternator w/internal regulator. They were 25 bucks on Rock
Auto last time I looked. The field lead is wired to the ignition switch so it has power with the switch on & that is it. Very simple install though it may require some shimming. I used my F...

Refer to FSM for torque specs. Posted on this site, in many places. If you have a bolt you can't move, you need to get a friend and a cheater pipe on the end of your breaker bar to get it out. It is a very bad idea to proceed until you've resolved that issue. You may have...
You have access to everything right there. I can only dream of having that kind of space. Remove manifolds, distributor, etc., & give everything a good power cleaning before you get started. Or do it manually as I have to do. You will be happy you did & it isn't that time consuming compared...
I agree with the above. If it hasn't been drilled, don't drill it. Welding a tab also creates a stress area but drilling reduces the amount of steel & creates a shornuff fracture zone. The CCOT illustrations are micky-mouse installations. The anchor points should be to structural points...
A quicker way to find the bad cylinder(s) is to pull the plug wires - one at a time! - while it is running. The one(s) that do not cause an RPM drop are where to start looking. Pull the plug(s) and look at those next. A valve stem seal should have been causing some smoking prior to the...

What are you talking about? Where the shoulder belt free end is attached to the roll bar? A hole may be drilled through the bar and the belt end is attached to a bolted-down eyebolt or anchor of some sort. The cover is cosmetic. Go to Schroth Racing website Welcome to SCHROTH...

I did talk to Mark but I had a broken tumbler plug & it would've cost $100~ to repair it, about what new aftermarket cylinders cost. I thought I had found a used one but that didn't happen, so I went to Toyota & bought a new one, $95 out the door w/TLCA discount. Mark was very...
13v?
The problems you're having are the exact reason I chucked my F-engine charging apparatus & installed the 2F alt w/integral regulator. I have one wire from the ignition to the F terminal & that is it. The alternator can be had for $25 remnan'd & will fit the F alt bracket with a little...
I thought of that but decided I will go that route after trying everything else. New cylinders are $100~ & most locksmiths are unwilling to do anything complicated for much less, in my experience. The engaging lug on the back of my tumbler section has broken off, too.
For my 73 40. Not interested in sticky, hard to turn, or broken cylinders. I just pried one of those out of my column. Must have key. Prefer local, Bay area, NorCal area. Georg, I emailed you. Anyone else? Post a reply or PM w/contact info. Thanks
What alternator did you take off? Was the plug connector on the back the same as the one you just bought? If so, plug it in & see what happens. If not, you'll probably need to change regulators, or get a wiring diagram & rewire the connector.
You have to disconnect the cable at both ends & see if you can turn the driven cable by hand. It should turn easily. You can pull the cable & inspect it, too. It may need lubing or, more lkely, it may be binding in the housing. Using a drill motor to turn it isn't a useful way to diagnose if...
What he's talking about is called full-fielding the alternator - unregulated full system voltage to the field windings. Read the volts at the battery, RPM about 2000 - it should go over 17.5v real fast & keep climbing. You could jump the F terminal w/o disconnecting the regulator by...
