Maybe the return orifice is blocked?

Where did they use a pointed bolt like this on the car? I believe it is 8mm x 1.25

@CanTechZ Thanks MIke! Those are just what I needed!

Yes

He's changed a lot in 5 years! He's 6'7"+. He's a Caterpillar heavy equipment field mechanic

Yeah, that would be a nice picture to end with. Definitely getting gray. Might get my kids in that one too. They've changed a lot too

Also, there is a ground to the chassis above the fuel tank. Is dielectric grease the way to go on this connection or copper antiseize?

So I started pulling the rear body harness in. There are two branches that go up. One for the dome light. One for the defroster. The dome light is self explanatory, but how does the defroster route? All in the structure or only internal until its under the plastic?

Looks great! Happy Easter!

Carolina Driveline Inc Howard st, spartanburg They do it all. Common through Nascar... I agree, it does seem cumbersome but I can't come up with another teason for the asymmetry you've seen.

I hate to say it but maybe the mismatched rings are an intentional balancing technique. Which would be impossible to replicate without a drivline balancer. If you find it's necessary we have a very good and regionally know driveline specialist here in Spartanburg

You can use a spot weld drill bit. I have found a round headed metal rasp in a die grinder works better. It's harder on the removed panel though. Make the metal thin and then wiggle it until it breaks loose. Then a die grinder with a 2" rolok to dress down the spot welds.

Never mind, I found it 🙂

@SteveJ Where did you find that at Rockauto. Part#? I haven't been able to find it. The Airtex had the cast impeller...

The 510 doesn't have the fan clutch. The fan bolts directly to the water pump pulley. I'll look around

So has it been adjudicated a water ump with a cast impeller is superior to the stamped steel impellers? I need to source a water pump for this motor. I did find one on Rockauto out of maybe 8 that had a cast impeller.

Where are you these days? Any car projects?

Welcome aboard! Start a build thread and post up some pictures of your car.

I wouldn't run the higher set points. My first concern is the integrity of the tank. My tank gets drained but not like it should. A ruptured tank is a bomb that you don't want to be around. Also I would expect the higher pressures are harder to achieve. I suspect the compressor efficiency is not a linear function

I had louvers on one Z in the past. I found they made the car interior much cooler which helped the AC cope better.

Don't take your car apart until you have too! Restore smaller sections and sub-assemblies as you go. Then repaint and reassemble. In the meantime you have a running car you can enjoy instead of a shop project

I thought pairs was odd too.

I believe you ciphering is correct... I would think 180 out makes the most sense. If the old spider has similar dimensions to the new I would be inclined to use the old snap rings, maybe...
