Yeah, that was my first thought. I’ll actually have to look up how to do that job in the BCW manual. I am that much of a noob.
Won’t fix the rear camber situation though or the ride height. I found a nice how-to series a while back on doing the rear torsion bar adjustment the right way, and it looked arduous and crazy-dangerous, with lots of…[Read more]

Good luck Mel. Let us know how it went, and happy cruising.

Chuck, I wonder if you maybe should be thinking of lifting up your back suspension. I am. I think I’m about an inch and a half low in back (noticeable mainly by the way the headlights are aimed), and so my new pipe (the Empi 3487 system, illustrated install story here) has scraped a time or two when backing out of the drive. It’s maybe 2 inches…[Read more]

Sounds like quite a cache, Richard. I sure wouldn’t mind having a spare engine and transmission, and an extra 15 horses would probably benefit Bridget–assuming they’re in there.
Then again, old parts that been settin’ would probably do with rebuilding anyway–if only to check inside for corrosion, scoring, water, etc. I’d imagine everything in…[Read more]

Richard,
Looks like everything is done – I just finished cleaning up the filter covers
and painting all the intakes etc. – I asked Wayne to order a couple of gaskets
so you can mount to your engine or you can get a couple yourself.
You might need to order some small upright filters in order for everything to
fit under your engine hatch ( did you…[Read more]

We’ll see, all right. Justifying these cars would seem pretty easy, since they’re small. Good luck finding those seats.

Richard! Tell your son to get his own car! You build the Glockler III car that Johnny Von Neumann raced and I’ll replicate the Von Neumann Special TD. We’ll face off on the track at Carlisle in a couple years. edsnova40345.6222685185

did you try fitting it with the air filter removed?

Did you get new heads, or a valve job done?Could this problem be on the other side of the rocker–i.e. the pushrods?

Congrats, Buzz. We knew you’d make it!

Yeahhh! Way to go, Richard!

Richard,
Got a hold of Wayne today and he is finished w/ the better set – I will need to
glass bead the intake manifolds etc. Sunday, but they should be done after
that is completed. I will give you a call after that on details to get them to
you.

Cool Richard – looking forward to hearing about it –
If I was around I would be joining you – good luck

Good luck, Richard. Hope the weather is fair and the fuel system clean!

I’m on my third windshield. Any good glass shop should be able to cut you a new one. It’s easy to unbolt the frame assembly…take them the whole thing.

I remember that melting lead smell in my grandma’s kitchen, where my uncle Pete was crafting bunker snaggers. “What’s that smell,” I asked.
“Elephant poop,” he replied, without smiling.
I’m sure it exacerbated the inexorable process of dumbening.

The DDT cloud thing maybe explains what happened to the next generation (mine). DDT. That’s the stuff that made bird eggs soft, right? Maybe did the same thing to our skulls.

Yes, I got one of those with my bimini top for the boat.

Paul,
Cool story – love to hear more about those folks some time – hopefully I will
do something like that when I stop working.

Sorry for your troubles, Paul. On the bright side, though, you probably have more miles/days on road with your TD than anyone else on the board. Maybe anyone else on the Earth. You’ll be back.
