  1. Esty, I am interested in a price and delivery for the salt and pepper carpet set for my 1971 2002 with standard transmission. Please email your response to ken_roberts1@yahoo.ca. Thanks Ken
  2. Thanks for the information. I received the floor pan quickly from Germany and at a very reasonable price.
  3. Anyone know were I can purchase a new drivers side floor pan and a new carpet set in Ontario, Canada for my 1971?
  4. I just rebuilt my engine and replaced the Weber 45DCOE's with a pair of 40DC 44/45'sa. I followed the instructions in my Haynes manual as to the initial settings of idle adjustment screws, but, it ran really rough at idle. After a whole lot of rechecking valve clearance, timing, Pertronix points, I realized that I was not getting enough fuel at idle. I have since replaced the 50F15 idle jets that were in the 40's with the 50F9 from 45's and turned the idle adjustment screws out 4 full turns and it now idles better. I would greatly appreciate any suggestions/comments so that I can start to enjoy driving this 02 instead of always tinkering with it.
  5. Thanks for the response. I was a advised by a mechanical engineer that it is best to replace any bolts that have been torqued twice. In my case both the engines I own have been rebuilt at lease once and I have no idea whether or not new bolts were installed at that time. I have since found the 8 shorter bolts but not the 2 longer ones for the center bearing so I may be forced to use the old ones. I hope they are OK. Ken
  6. I am rebuilding my engine and I am not able to find new M10x90 bolts for the center bearing cap. Anyone know where I can find them?
  7. I am in the process of rebuilding my engine and have had a few people ask me how many degrees BTDC I am going set the cam. My manuals instruct me to set #1 piston at TDC with the valves closed and then install the cam gear with the notches lined up. I believe that I am to set the timing with the distributor. Can someone please guide me in the right direction?
  8. Anyone know the original color of a 71 engine block and valve cover?
  9. I just purchased an engine from a 1974 which I suspect has been rebuilt a number of years ago. The engine has a few upgrades (Weber 45 carbs, electric fuel pump, larger intake valves) so I thought it would nice to determine the camshaft that is in it. The only markings I can find is CC A30. Does anyone recognize this?
  10. I recently purchased a 71 2002 with twin Weber's, headers, free flow exhaust and a upgraded cam. The previous owner can only identify the cam as mild. How do I identify it?
