I installed 1157 halogen bulbs with more light from the same watts. The bulb glass is much smaller and therefore farther from the plastic lens. I have no more lens problems as long as I remember to pull the brake lamp fuse when the car is on the wheel alignment rack with a spring rod on the...

IMO the Carter AFB on your car is the easiest to maintain and the most stable at idle, under acceleration, and cruising. I don't believe any other 4venturi carb will accept the factory air cleaner, but you might try screwing the Carter air horn onto an edelbrock base - if you can get a friend to...

Sitting on those must have been HARD:rotfl

Ya gotta love Paul Jordan (with the blue c1 on my wesite)buying a car in Oregon that hadn't been driven much since a two year old restoration, and taking it on power tour to extend the trip from Oregon to Ontario, Canadians rule. I caught up with Paul last April during the c2 registry route...

Nice write up. The effort involved in the installation is evident when you read between the lines (jacking up the body for new cushions generally involves removing bumpers). Now that you have a great overdrive, how many miles are you going to put on that c2? Will I see you on the Hot rod...

IMO either shorten the rod with a rekink or move/rotate the door knob mechanism to be farther from the latch at the other end of the rod

I just rekinked the rod between the inside knob mechanism and the latch in my passenger door and it works fine. Years ago, my drivers door required me to elongate the holes that mount the knob mechanism so I could rotate it to pull the rod sooner, and that also put the knob in the correct...

I'm using a small 6psi pump from Advanced Auto mounted with a filter from NAPA on a small metal bracket holding an old rear (trans) motor mount to insulate the frame from the pump noise. The bracket is bolted to the existing frame hole for the bumper support rod.

Air conditioned c2s came with a 61amp alternator. If you go to your local auto store and tell them you want an alternator for a c2 with A-C, you get an alternator that plugs right in and bolts right up.

Move the initial advance up a couple of degrees. Check inside the distributor to see that the vacuum advance rod has a plastic or metal collar on it's end, where it rides in the hole of the plate that the points mount onto. I lowered my front license bracket and tilted the plate back to admit...

The driver's door problem sounds like you need to adjust (move forward or rotate) the position of the mechanism the knob is attached to - or - kink the rod from that assembly to the door latch so it's a little shorter. Remove the upholstery panel and the mechanism and rod are right there. You...

Nice coupe - and welcome to the group. Since you say "it arrived" I take it that you didn't find it locally. Where's it from?

The harness and regulator can easily handle that. When I installed a 135amp alt from alterstart, I put a 60amp agu fuse on the harness connection to protect it.

I have installed 3 tops on my car using the Factory Service Manual. Video? I don't need no stinking video.........;)

No, but it requires patience.

The wall is still there, but "there" is not where you think it is. At Mid America Motorworks in Effingham Illinois, the wall of the facility behind the old gas station (that they transplanted to the facility) has a full size mural/wallpaper of the delivery point on it. During the last Hot Rod...

I have seen pics of c1's that had the floor pushed forward for leg room. I have a c2 with recaro seats and a 14 inch 4 inch dish steering wheel because I am 6'4" tall. As long as you are willing to modify the car (especially the seats and seat area) I believe you can be comfortable on long...
