Can’t even imagine what the bottom half looks like

Did you re-install the backing plates with the coil overs? The plate will flex if not installed correctly. The fundamental install is the same. Did you have the coilovers installed/welded at a shop?

@SteveJ That might be a record to begin 2023 with the number of responses!! Great job!!

Cliff, Is that Pub..or Wd Steak? Either way looks fantastic

I did, After rebuilding every component on my suspension I still question myself whether everything was tightened/ torqued properly. I understand why they used paint during the build operation. Great video @SteveJ

@siteunseenPlease pour me another Sir.

S30.world has new tanks. I purchasing and very pleased with it.

Did you measure the depth of the existing rod on the old booster and compare it to the reman booster? If that’s not dialed in you won’t get the Mc travel from the pedal.

What were the compression readings by cylinder?

With all respect friend, these gauges are far from precise. New gauges are of course NLA. It would be interesting if you could try another gauge or better yet install a temporary or just take readings from the radiator itself. You might be just chasing a ghost. From what I’ve read in this thread you’re relying on a reading from a 40 plus year old gauge. My 2 cents

@Zed HeadI was going to ask the same question about the temperature readings. I assumed that after market gauges were aded in order to get the readings that were reported.

You didn’t tell us what series car you have

@SteveJ

We’re you extremely careful with the booster where the reaction disc didn’t fall out of position during installation? Common problem

What exactly are you asking for? @SteveJ asked? Need pics to help. Nothing to go on at this point.

Dome light contacts in the door jamb, turn signals. Something down stream.

As @Zed Headmentioned, Quality pumps are hard to find and have had numerous quality issues. Might want to consider a electric fuel pump with a pressure regulator.

Your good friend…

Looks like the front position could go forward a bit under the strut. On the rear is where I position my stands. Thoughts Gentelman.

I didn’t gi that route I installed BC coil overs where I could dial the height in.

My car is a 78 as well

One thing you haven’t mentioned which I’m familiar with. Did you happen to remove the factory bumpers and replacing them with the 240 series bumpers? Just asking. When I removed mine the car’s ride height went up over 2 inches.

@SteveJ

Godzilla Race Works. They are in Fort Worth.

Get a small suction cup. Lick the inside of the cup and gently see if it adheres to the glass. Once pulled forward see if the gauge goes back to normal. In a shop you never know where there hands are going especially if you’re working under a Z dash. A finger or thumb may have pushed that glass in. My two cents…
