Ross pistons do seem to be good.

They are forged, though, so a good warmup is required,
as cold fit is a bit looser than a cast piston.

They use thin Ross rings.

So far, they are working gre ...

If you're talking about the 'clocking' of the arm on the linkage,

I just put it in a vice, grab the other end with vice grips, and twist it
(what, about 90 degrees?)

That made mine work fine. ...

It's held in a channel-
if you can get underneath it at one end,
a soft tool will coax it out.

Yup, the WAG-o-meter agrees-
you've got a rebuild, and with no vin (and the x) I guess that you have
a factory rebuilt motor. Which is good. They did (do) good work.
What's in it, though, is goin ...

That sounds about right-
I ran 1/4" spacers in front with 205-60-14 RA1's.

And the rears polished the inner fender a bit-
a bit of work with a big hammer cleaned that up, and
skipped the spacer ...

Recently, all the oem through normal parts chains have dried up.
Wish I'd bought a few sets, but then, money's money.

Ireland will have a set of Ross made for you for $600- they're forged.

Frankly, I would think it'd be a problem of supporting the
stub shaft coming out of the diff well enough.

It's not designed for forces acting in that fashion, and when the car's under

Actually, you can bleed the brakes using gravity- IF you have hoses in decent shape.

If the pad behind the starter doesn't have a clear stamping on it,
I bet it's a factory rebuild or replacement.

What series (121, E12, E21, 1.8) is the head?

With rebuilds, it's always a crapsh ...

Usually if it's cooked to the point where it doesn't free up when it cools down,
bad things have happened. Either cylinder walls or bottom end.

Yeah, I never had much luck reusing the guard,

Initial findings with AvGas (100 LL) seem to indicate that 11.5:1 is
safe. Barely, if you're a bit careful with timing.

So going to the high side of 10 is probably not a set- and- forget operat ...

See, if you leave the pipe showing and it eats your plug wires
then you have to leave it by the side of the road,
some jerk might come by and steal the nice pipe,

Shelby just put his name on a number of generic '80's wheels-
they're neither better nor worse than most from the era.

But not nearly up tp the standard of a GOOD BBS or any Panasport...

Fronts need adapted seat tracks, and then sit too far towards the door
(by about 3/4")

Cute!

There were a set in the local yard (for about 20 minutes before they got pulled)
and my WAG is that they would actually be too narrow-

I find if you squirt a bit of dish soap in the water
after you throw in the old undies that you use as a rag
it cleans quite a bit better.
But then you have to rinse it when you're done...

but ran an Autopower for years.
It fits about as well as it can, but it really needs bigger footplates

Volvo used both vented and solid rotors and calipers interchangably,
with no real pattern as to which car got what.

So really, you want 240 calipers, and specify 'vented'.

Honestly, do the MS and leave the rest-

Where the radiator(s) would go

Of course I can remedy the situation by lifting the hood and readjusting things - but in my day dreams, I would prefer an easier route.
