Hi,
I bought a sidepipe rear muffler to frame attaching kit.
There are the obvious bolts and rubber discs, but in the kit there are also some small screws. What are those for?? ;shrug
No I'm not sure about the body location. Actually I have two problems, the steering coupler, and the fact that the front left tire is rubbing the fender in the front when turning left (but a correct wheel alignment + the letting the suspension set itself will hopefulle cure that to some extent)...
Thanks for the input. I have tried to pull the shaft but it seems very firm. I do not want to pull too hard and damage it.
I will try to install the column again and pull the gap together with bolts.
Another soultion might be to extend the shaft somehow, either by installing some extra flange or...
I'm installing the rag joint, but the gap between the coumn shaft and the steering box shaft is a bit too big.
Is there anything I can do to adjust this? The column shaft end to bearing face is 4,5 inches (correct for a 69), so I don't think the coulmn is collapsed. But is there any way to...
Hello,
I have just installed my body (69 conv) after swapping to a replacement frame and the body sits good on all 8 mounts, with a few shims on some.
In the front, however, I have a good 2 in between the radiator support and the crossmember, and that is when the nose is hanging freely in the...
Hi all,
I'm routing new fuel lines on my 69 frame.
I've seen on several installation pictures that the feed line has an extra bend between mount #2 and #3 from the tank. Why is that? Doesn't look like that in my assembly manual.
See picture below (from a 71 restoration)...
Ok thanks. I just recently bolted the tranny to the engine and put it on the frame, and then it struck me that the cover maybe should have been mounted before that, but then I'm ok.

I have realized that I have no clutch bellhousing front cover.
Does this mount from the "outside" or do I need to unbolt the bellhousing to mount it?

Ok thanks. Short throw it is.
Anything else that can be done to the shifter to remove some of the play and give the stick a more "tight" feeling?
I've had the shifter apart but it's not mutch to replace in there. Looking in a Paragon catalog, the only internal shifter replacement part they sell...
I'm installing the shifter linkage. Has the inner holes on the gearbox shift levers any purpose, i.e is it possible to install the linkage to the inner holes and get a shorter throw when shifting?
Hi Mike,
Maybe it's not tough with Canadian standards, but my garden tractor with a plowblade has been put to the test!
Ok, in the picture below I have unbolted the tranny mount and moved the rear of the trans to the left. Now the transmission output shaft and driveshaft are parallell. One of...
Hi,
I know it's offset but I also have a small angle between the driveshaft and the transmission (if you extend the drifeshaft forward and compare it with the casting line on top of the transmission).
Hi all,
I've just installed the engine and transmission on my frame, and after installing the drifshaft it looks like the tranny and the driveshaft are not 100% in line looking from above. Is this something to be concerned about, and if so what should i use as a reference when i install the...
Hi,
The speedometer on my 69 project is not working, turns out that the speedometer driving gear is loose on the axle, i.e the gear had moved an inch to the "front" so there was no connection to the driven gear.
How is the gear normally fixed on the axle?
I have the gearbox (4-speed) on my...
Thanks. My bolts were from Ecklers and it seems like they only have one size, but I can see now that other vendors have different length bolts.
The bolts were part of a rear suspension package and there were actually other bolts that did not fit at all either. ;shrug
Need some help here. I'm installing a new (used) 7-leaf rear spring. (I used to have a 9-leaf but that was a 2 1/2 in wide wich was not correct for the car, and when I installed a new "correct" rear end cover I had to find a 2 1/4 in wide spring).
Anyway, the 7-leaf is much thicker than the...
