For what it’s worth. When I began assembling panels the first time and following the instructions it had me starting at the front. Nothing lined up. I called the factory and was told to forget the instruction manual and start from the back. Strangely, everything went together without a hitch. Now, mine is a Fiberfab, so that might not even a…[Read more]

A rethink on the steering column.

I still need to add an additional support for the lower portion of the shaft.

There is an entire discussion thread on how to post photos. There are multiple steps, but not that hard to figure out.

What master cylinder are you using?

I believe I’ve got room for an electrical fan. I considered the short water pump, but it’s an expensive aftermarket piece. Then you have pulley issues. Another snowball.

Anyway, I put some stuff together to see what else I have to move. The steering shaft support had to be rethought. The original support bearing is way too bulky for this installation. (Jack, you need one?)

There are some local stations I cannot use because it constantly shuts off. Also, make sure the clamps on the fill neck hose are tight.

Several modifications already done on this kit with the three link rear suspension and front tubular control arms. Newer model engine with serpentine belt and no thermactor holes in the head.

I’m running Alden Eagle coilovers with 500# springs. I remember running those original springs. They’ll knock your teeth out.

Well, all this crawling around, getting up and down and bending over this engine, I threw my back out last Friday, the 20th. I have been able to do very little since then. I’ve put some hoses on it to see where things will have to be run. Installed the dipstick tube. I’ve decided to eliminate the old battery box and use that location for the…[Read more]
