Those Redlines appear to hook pretty good... :lol:

Twenty five years ago American Collector told me I didn't fit their "Collector Profile"... Guess I drive my cars to much... I haven't bothered them since....

71 & up don't use a bearing, the plate can be centered by loosening the three bolts... I machined a tool that makes centering easy...

You say "Nothing productive is happening here." But in reality you've learned that the car your client chose to invest $70K in might be worth $45K on it's best day once completed... And as you know it only needs another $25K at a bare minimum to get completed.... Paint $14K Floor installed...

Like I posted earlier, wrong car.. One year newer & he'd be in decent shape The wrong choice earlier on is the most costly... Spend a few dollars more & buy the right car.. Restoration cost about the same but the value at the end is worlds apart..

Unfortunately I'd say that is generous... One year newer and you'd be in good shape.... You invested n the wrong car... They are cool, but have never been popular enough to raise the price... If it were a numbers matching Hemi you would still be upside down..

Any chance the steering column isn't centered properly causing excess drag? A little drag multiplied by the steering gear ratio makes for a lot of drag when trying to sweep the wheels..

Part of Thursday's activities... Kern Dog's Charger & my two Challengers along with a few other awesome rides that actually get driven make a brief appearance at the start...

Welcome from Central Ca... Couple things.... 1) You are lucky to have a good Chrome shop local to you.... 2) Any relation to Sarah??? Could be helpful if our trust in AI persists... On second though don't tell us, they are listening.... :lol:

Get the drive wheels off the ground, axle on jack stands.... Get the engine running... Engine 2000 rpm, Clutch pedal depressed, Abruptly stab the brakes... Release then stab again... Well, assuming the brakes work...

And before driving the seal in pack the back side with grease... It keeps the garter spring from popping off...

Probably not...

Systems with expansion valves don't cycle... They control evaporator temp/pressure by varying the freon flow through the evaporator... EPR allows the system to work more effectively in spite of being undercharged....

That's a whole different animal than those gay *** Go Wings & Gull Wings...
