  1. I wonder how much it warped
  2. maybe you can make this work listed for a Datsun 240z https://www.speedwaymotors.com/Speedway-Reusable-Air-Filter-15x2-Oval,351226.html?utm_medium=CSEGoogle&utm_source=CSE&utm_campaign=CSEGOOGLE&store_code=SMI-LNK&gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQiAkJO8BhCGARIsAMkswyi6uQI2pBTFaHy41ikQZ2wpJQ0-TNLr6oQdPA3HDehk-UInQOpxpjQaAgVkEALw_wcB
  3. AFAIK they take the 2.25" bolt spacing of Girling, Lockheed, Tilton, Wilwood
  4. My Royale FSV had one of these brackets for the brake pedal, fitted with a balance bar. Clutch MC was on a separate fabbed bracket A fair number of formula cars used them in the day
  5. Croc....funny you mention the HVAC blower in a Volvo 240 A friend used to have a shop with a fair sized Volvo clientele he said the first thing you do for that job is remove the back seat, so you have a place to put all the S**t from the dash LOL I think they hung the blower on a string and built the car around it
  6. Pat retired several years ago
  7. I'd def have it tapped before building an engine If not used, a plug is cheap teardown for doing it later ain't
  8. The foam is probably pretty tired, anyway, so who cares.... I'm thinking of doing mine, looking for some stiffer foam than original
  9. Easiest way is probably one of those rotating laser levels https://www.ebay.com/itm/356310236044?_skw=laser+level+360&itmmeta=01JDYTT6NSJ0C5DVGQK0GPHC6B&hash=item52f5bebb8c:g:JCoAAOSwGmRnLeN4&itmprp=enc%3AAQAJAAAA8HoV3kP08IDx%2BKZ9MfhVJKnl7%2BzhxQry%2FmBDf95E71tCrldl20fhl1LM4%2Fm0ga5Jti99SCfX15hQKrMmEyKREZmdQSkfyXnpO9UmzA0Ixmih3n4w8FVZ1wEgOiXp1kTpFYerlgqHR%2BI9NAqLhT7xZNCf5D1NUz4xDkrfMl7z2EngCHuB4Hr0kA3amIjbbda0f3nYu%2FpCAEzBEH1vRWBNp5aCzs9wSuDL1skBXBvRNaGu8kBtDB3ZlnDs5KvvrYd61qwZ9pkDVVRA7dsjY%2B%2Frzcnho0sthdA5P%2B6Xc0HFNe%2F86JQWiyi8kftK96o7BsmrMA%3D%3D|tkp%3ABFBMgOvo2u9k just put it in the middle and use a yardstick on each of your pads some people use a water level or, if you have a long enough straight edge and a digital level yes roll the car off the pads and bounce it a couple of times after a change, then back on and verify
  10. 108 is good for a street motor But, if you want to run at the pointy end of FF, you need more and the serious SCCA types will be touching up the valves at 25 hours, and rings at 50
  11. So, an update first, it's def not an Arnie motor it is a fresh build, but prob 20 years ago still has the Ford pistons, not the current CP items had an oil pressure issue, as in none priming pump on dyno wouldn't put up any pressure finally figured out the plug in the oil gallery right behind the cam gear was missing able to fix it without pulling the gear and every gasket leaks whoever built it only put sealer on one side after all that, it did fire right up 108hp so prob a good number back then, but not now but it has a new home with a friend who's going to refresh it for his Dulon
  12. once they spin...it gets tricky I've ground some with a dremel also a narrow wood chisel
  13. I've seen an MGB fry the throttle cable
  14. No doubt the string setup is better, but for quick + dirty job, the plates are fine At one point, when I was racing my Supervee, I had a collapsible frame that went around the car to string it but, for a solid axle 7, at home nah
  15. a homemade set of these is what I use for toe adjustments https://www.pegasusautoracing.com/productdetails.asp?RecID=12736 and a digital level for camber
  16. Hmmm I know where there's a square tube locost frame hanging on a wall.....
  17. Chronometric = mechanical drive Nisonger has been out of the repair business for several years 6 feet of flood water thru the shop and parts inventory
  18. I always clean up the top + bottom of the pads on the belt sander so they slide nicely
  19. I wouldn't bother welding the spacer to the mount Just a 1/4" aluminum plate spacer, and blue loctite on the bolts
  20. They look like 14LFs Moss doesn't list the brand of their kits if it worries you, Girling kits at Pegasus If you plan to split the calipers, be aware that the seal between halves doesn't come in the kits, and if reused, it will leak
  21. Can you mount it next to the master cylinder? With careful selection of fittings and a couple of premade flex lines, you may not even need a flaring tool
  22. Assuming the MC is in line with the pedal, using a heim on one side will put side force on the cyl bore, causing uneven wear granted, it will be minimal If things are in proper alignment, I'd stick with a clevis after all, the original funky one got you 30+ years
  23. I've seen some with a lot of wear, but that's a new record. Never seen a single sided one, either. https://www.pegasusautoracing.com/productdetails.asp?RecID=1131 Should be able to get a pin at a good hardware store, or use a good bolt. If using a bolt be sure to get one with enough unthreaded shank so that no threads are inside the clevis. Amazing how good threads are at chewing up stuff
  24. yes AN is single flare 37 degrees
  25. cut the bubble off slide on an AN nut, then the sleeve flare the end pic is some -6 bits from my stash
