    Differences in rear interior panels?

    Yeah, about those panels ... people are failing to mention that there were different patterns depending on the trim level of the car. Cheapo bench seat coupes got pretty plain panels. If you ordered a trim level or bucket seats or hardtop model, you got different panels. Here's my car with...

    Clutch pedal adj & shifter position

    Maybe the wrong shifter handle for your year/model ?? Regardless of where it points, it won't affect the clutch engagement. My clutch also engages very low. I'm using a diaphram clutch. I seem to recall it engaged higher with a stock-style Borg and Beck. What type is yours?

    Install the pan, fill the motor with the seven quarts plus the filter, prime the motor and then check the dipstick. Make a mark at the new full point.

    Aftermarket head / roller rocker not mating together

    You'll need shaft shims for the side-to-side clearance adjustments. a bunch of .015 shims are nice. To get the geometry right for the valve tip contact patch you really need to talk to the guys at BR3. That said, I gotta believe most guys out there just make do with what they get. There's a...

    There are worse things …. But!

    No they're not, they're HDPE (food grade). There are VERY FEW retail type products made of Acetal or Delrin - its just a little too special for "average" use. These are very machineable but you won't find pieces anywhere but from a plastics distributor (like I was before retirement !!) and...

    Aftermarket head / roller rocker not mating together

    Its a long shot BUT ... there are two different widths of holddowns - 6 narrow ones and 4 wide ones. Are you using them in the correct spots ?

    Nuts that aren't tightened until the car is on the ground?

    There’s a sleeve in the strut bushings. You tighten the nut till it bottoms out.

    Nuts that aren't tightened until the car is on the ground?

    ??? Who said anything about an upper ball joint nut ?!?!? Tighten EVERYTHING except the LCA pivot nuts ... (and rear shackles I guess !!)

    Nuts that aren't tightened until the car is on the ground?

    This is it !! Personally, I don't worry about the rear shackles though.

    M/C reinforcement plate?

    You can't just grind off the tits. No problem using bolts, the factory used studs to speed up assembly. What are you working on ? Life would be easier if you just used a factory p/b plate - available at virtually anu swapmeet.

    M/C reinforcement plate?

    "Grind off the bolt head or just the tits? I'm starting to think I don't really need them and just bolt up the booster. And hope I never have to remove the booster again." I'm hot sure what you're doing BUT those studs protrude through the firewall into the interior, not outwards into the...
