Hey guys, where did you find the information on this dinner?  I haven’t seen any schedule of events from the web page.  Am I blind?

Bolts? Or ARP studs?

I will not be arriving until sometime midmorning on Friday.

Still $105 with seven hours to go. If no one grabs it I might pick it up meself just for the spares.

Sounds good – like I said – I could go either way – I am sure it will be pick your own seat so it will be easy to arrange our own table if that is what everyone wants to do.For a long time Paul and I were the only TD guys w/ all the speedie guys and although sometimes it felt like we were outsiders I think we are now part of the group – It would…[Read more]

I’m looking forward to meeting all of you. There should be enough of us

I’m not going to Carlisle hoping just to meet new fun people and make new friends, I am goiing to meet you TDers that I have been communicating with for all these months.  I would expect there would be a TD only table.

 Dan, I removed my hood side panel last year to replace the ign. module and was amazed at how easy it was to get to all the stuff on that side of the engine with the panel off. I gave some thought to making it easier by using twist lock fasteners to replace the bolts,but then I reasoned that since I used new bolts and nuts, it would be easier to…[Read more]

We’ll stick with the original plan for Sat. night. The Speedster folks were nice enough to invite/allow we TDers to join them. However, I don’t think a TD group or table would upset them.

Rocky – We’ll more than likely head up I-75 to Knoxville and then hit I-81 into Harrisburg, PA. our alternate route will be I-20 from Athens, GA to Columbia, SC…[Read more]

I paid Bruce already but if y’all want to peel off I’m sure he’ll kick it back. I was thinking maybe we should get a TD table going.Also to note: there will be some TD love in the prize drawing.

Guys,

I did my rear lights with a wire harness using trailer light wire for 1/2 the price of rolls and are all color coded and together.  Dan R

Your  welcome. I was always told if you don’t ask you will never know? So i use

Thank you Ray, for explaining this to an old dummie.

Mike, there is a lot of discussion on the forum about removing leaves.  Rockyx did a nice job with great photos.  I posted a few also.  Everyone removes all but the four big leaves in each tube.  Worked perfectly for me. 

 Backspacing is the distance from the inside bolting surface of the rim to the outer edge of the inboard side of the rim. Offset is the distance from the exact center of the rim to the outer edges of the rim. Positive offset means that the center of the wheel is moved towards the vehicle. Negative offset means that the center of the wheel is…[Read more]

OK, I know this is a dumb question,but what is back space ?

Ed it is probably worth checking if you have any handling problems. I would bet this was manufacturing defect as I can only find different wheel spacings on different width steel wheels yet all my wheels were 4-1/2. A fellow I worked with was the one that discovered the offset difference when I had all the tires off and was sanblasting them at…[Read more]

Mike, When I got my car it drove like yours did at first.  But…..it handled like a 1948 Jeep CJ2A that I once had.  My wife would not ride in my jeep without first donning her sports/jeep bra – even on the highway it was an exceptionally rough ride.  And, MiGi’s front end was cranked up in the air so far that it looked un-natural (5-1/2″ fro…[Read more]

That is very interesting. I could see how the different wheel spacings could mess up the steering geometry on your turns; the scrub radius would be different side to side, and then the vectors (toe-in/out) would also be a little off. But I did not know the same width wheels could be so for off.I think mine are all different too–some Brazilian,…[Read more]
