i have this one on my 62. works flawlessly and was super easy to install. they are great for anyone looking at this kind of conversion as they seem to be able to take what ever signal you have and what you are trying to convert it to and make the adapter for you!

2 inch lift springs and 33 inch tires are a very common combo. but bigger tires require thing to be running right if you want to move them and brakes need to be working g well if you want to stop them. then you need to make sure your steering will turn them! they do put more stress on your...

how are the recaros? i’ve been looking at going with them. lots of reviews on the scheel-mans but the recaros have caught my attention a little more! i’d love to hear how you find them? i’m 6’2” 210 lbs

yeah i’ve cleaned the seals well. my 3m is the 08008 stuff city racer says specifically not to use. it’s the super black. my son is grabbing a tube of the 3m black 4799 right now i always learn something new on these projects!!

thanks for this!! my chevelle weather strip is also precision brand made from epdm rubber. my 3m super black won’t work on it either. you’ve just saved me a lot of headache.

i’m making the assumption it’s good as i have city racer seals and 3m weatherstrip adhesive. but i’ll double check. edit. i have 3m waiting for my chevelle. i have permatex 81850. it’s apparently not a good adhesive for city racer seals!! crap. glad i haven’t put more on than just the rear...

still searching for the electrical issues. no joy. i did find that a PO used some trailer wire plugged up under the dash so we’re going to try and make that a better job. with winter coming though i need to get door seals done. i did some of them a while ago but didnt prep it right and didnt...

i can’t believe he’s torquing it like that on a little engine stand!! 🤣. i’d be so sure it’d end up idling all over the floor!! that’s going to be awesome. you’ve got me nostalgic now. i have a blue 77 that’s been apart for going on 15 years because i dove in maybe too deep and then life got...

i agree with above. fuel octane is related to compression and timing. not “how” the fuel is injected. whether it’s a carb or efi these lower compression engines should run just fine on regular. the ethanol in the lower grade fuels though will gum things up if left to sit for a long time but if...

so today wast the first day it was cold enough to really try the heated wheel out. it worked like a charm. it’s a little slow to warm up but it absolutely worked. it’ll be really nice when the temps really drop!!

lol. yes all of them!! 🤣

that’s great reading!! thanks. i’ll post what i find!

bulb holder on the dash? or the turn signals themselves?

well the hairyness continues. i seem to only be getting 9.5 V to the flasher. i’m going to replace it anyway but i think i have some wiring resistance issues to chase 😔. i hate wires

well the cheap foil backed foam under the headliner didn’t stick and the headliner fell off. oh well. it was worth the try. i’ll have to take the off again later and redo it. on a different note im having troubles with signal lights. seems like the flasher doesn’t want to work. i can tap the...
