So I have a new issue with Cody's car My clutch stack up is only 74mm with the current collar to the ears I believe this is the measurement from the fingers to the flywheel. So about 44mm Luk brand clutch kit Now the throw out bearing fits down in to the clutch fingers some. So maybe it is installed backwards?? I thought I might have a smaller TOB collar but at this point I'm not sure. Even if I have the smaller one, the difference over the 4 types looks to only be 10mm. That's not going to get me to 92mm??

Come on, roll the dice!!!

By the way if you ever need help shipping stuff to Switzerland, pm me. If I can help, I will C

What is your system for figuring out where it all goes? I really struggle with that.

The R200 is a tougher unit. I might have an open 3.9 in the shop and if by some chance you came across an LSD R200 you would already be set up for it. I do not have the other parts you would need. Terrapin might have those

"Open" as in not Limited Slip. Only one wheel will spin

They worked for me. The dash looks good! How do you like it?

I replied in your ad, but why an R180 over an R200?
-
Got to imagine there are all kinds of nasty surprises on a car like that!

That's a god looking car. Aught to make a good foundation

Those were nice pistons 😞
-
Piston pins are pressed, not free floating? Do the piston pins move freely? Do you have a dial bore gauge and some mic's? What is the ID of the bore versus the OD of the piston?

Ethanol definitely raises the volatility and it's also hard on a fuel system not designed for alcohol. I try to avoid Ethanol in my boat, mower and small engines. It just doesn't age as well as straight gas does
-
Our fuels are also vastly different today! They are designed to be more volatile so they burn cleaner. That volatility makes them more prone to vapor lock at lower fuel pressures. Its part of the reason modern cars run higher rail pressures

I like that coil on plug setup!

Perfect, thanks
-
Thanks John I have been using your excellent templates! They are very helpful Is the "central air duct outlet" the one bolted to the heater box or the thinner one that connects the dash to the heater box?
-
-
I vote Yes, Since you already have the rear bar and it's in such nice condition
-
Made some more progress on the heater box a couple of weekends ago Core Adding foam I don't really care for the white foam showing, but I guess it doesn't matter I stripped this and have since replated it. I have also softened the Oring in detergent, but haven't tested it yet
