    maybe you can get some firewood in there

    It sounds like the switch is not turning off the car when the key is turned /removed.
  3. Hans
    I would put it on. That's a long run if pipe between hangers

    Its been 30 years since I restored the CS, so my memory is fading. Can anyone tell me if the wooden parts of the dash will come out without taking EVERYTHING apart and removing windshield?

    This is weird. One of my valve covers that I've used before (and have of course refinished) no longer sits properly in a 121 head. It seems to be rocking on something at the front. It does however sit properly on an E21 head that has the valve train loaded. Another valve cover from the collection fits properly - doesn't rock. WTF? The first one seems to have higher ridges inside. I assumed they were all the same. They have different casting numbers inside.

    what about pads getting stuck due to rust, etc?
  7. Hans
    Is there not some sort of valve in the master cyl? That said, i'd be looking at calipers.

    Down Under humour. Have more respect for your fellow "colonial". I don't know how it would fare under full Canadian winter driving, but for garage queen duty, it has lasted well. I used a garden sprayer. That and a lot of seam sealer.

    I used Waxoyl 30 years ago and it is still there.

    I've never seen a short neck with asymmetric holes. Odd. Anyway, to clarify, I had 4 ear flange welded to front of shaft with 3 ears on rear to match long neck diff.
  11. Hans
    Keep in mind that bolt location is critical to rear alignment.
  12. Hans
    So, 02tom, what kind of diff is that??? I had 4 ear flange welded onto original 3 ear drive shaft with long neck.

    Are you sure its a 228? I had six bolt flywheel and concluded it was 215. Switched cranks to get 8 bolt and 228. On another note, does NK tunnel require thumping to clear newer slave cyl??
  14. Hans
    Had teh same on Continentals. Dealer said no prob. Looks wierd.
  15. Hans
    But what about the oil pump pick up? I'm not sure it can be removed without pulling the pulley.
  16. Hans
    The new ones dont last as long.
  17. Hans
    If your flanges have just six holes in the 3 + 3 pattern, you need to find similar CV joints. Good luck. May be easier to find 10 hole flanges.

    I'd be getting another alignment.
  19. Hans
    Floats at just under 13mm, fuel level about 27mm.
  20. Hans
    Tire pressure, dragging brake, old swollen rubber brake lines, strut mounts. Did the alignment show any abnormalities?
  21. Hans
    So what are the symptoms of the float being too low (gap too big)?
  22. Hans
    In a previous post, there was some discussion about using a lower resistance rotor. To what extent are these rotors interchangeable? My 002 JFD4 distributor is supposed to take a 04033 rotor. I am using the rev limiter rotor now. I have a 04038 rotor on hand which looks like the 04033, but rated as R1. It has the wider tip. I don't want to ruin my new cap by experimenting, but has anyone researched this?
  23. Hans
    Or do I want 1.5 ohm unit?
  24. Hans
    Thanks. I see two flamethrower coils for Ignitor system: 3 ohms and either 28K or 40K volts. Any suggestions?
  25. Hans
    I have Pertronix in 002 dizzy. Which coil would be better: PerTronix 40511 Flame-Thrower 40,000 Volt 3.0 ohm Coil OR Bosch 00012 BLUE Ignition Coil ?? About the same price.
