  1. It was heading East on I-20 about 6pm in Downtown Shreveport,LA.

    It was on riding on a 18 wheeler car carrier with a bunch of wrecked cars.

    I think it was a late model (big bumpers) and it did not look wrecked. It was orange and the paint job looked real good . I only caught a glimpse of it. anybody know where it was headed?

  2. I am not sure about the stage one KMAC kit, But the Stage Two KMAC kit that I received came with a special nut-bushing and a special domed washer. The washer goes below the middle plate of the KMAC and the nut screws on the top of the threaded strut rod.

    The special washer takes up some space on the threaded part of the strut rod, so once mounted there are only about two threads above the top of the middle plate. A regular nut will start on the shaft but become tight after two revolutions. So KMAC supplies this special nut-bushing. There are threads in the bushing and nut part of this piece. It screws down into the top of the strut mount.

    I heard from KMAC tis morning. They are sending me two nuts that are M12- 1.25 and said that two would be included in future kits.

  3. I bought a stage 2 camber kit 192016-2 for my 74 Tii.

    I have one side almost finished but the special nut/bushing won't screw on the top of my Bilstein strut. The threads on my strut are M 12-1.25 and the threads in the special nut are M 12-1.5.

    I have been trying for a week to find out if KMAC has this special nut in M 12 - 1.25 thru my supplier and thru KMAC but I can't get an answer.

    Has anyone else had this problem?

    Any suggestions on a solution?

    Ireland and Ground Control kits require coil over which I don't have. Are there any other kits that work on a stock diameter spring set up?

  5. I tried two or three different repair solutions. You would paint over the area that was scratched away. I never got any of them to work. The solution would dry and look okay but it would not conduct a current.

    I bought the J C Whitney kit and installed it. I used a razor blade to scrape the old ridge off the windshield so the new tape would stick better. I thought a flat surface would work best. It works for a few years but the adhesive is giving way now so the tape is coming loose where the rear widow curves. I gave up. I live in the South so I don't really need it

  6. I don't have a curve but the tabular specs for a 74 Tii that I have shows 4 to 9 degrees of advance at 1000 RPMs and 27 to 31 degrees at 3500 RPMs.

    Your curve shows only 12 1/2 degrees of advance if I am reading it correctly.

    I just had my 180-130 recurved and I now have 29 degrees of total advance and 6 degrees of retard.

    Maybe your curve is measured at the distributor and not at the crankshaft, so you would have to double the numbers ,which would give a 25 degree max. Bet that's it.
