+1.  PM me if you'd like a copy of the two columns I wrote about re-doing the front suspension bushings and ball joints.

Searched your posts, likely missed this one. If still available, I would appreciate a copy.

Thanks,

Dennis

Even if for a short time, welcome to the community.

Drive it a few hundred miles before selling. You know, to work the bugs out. Not trying to convince you to keep it...:)

Looking for evaporator assembly I can use to build ac for my 69 2002. May end up having to go with the package set ups offered by 2002ad, ICEAA or the other set up. Just seems expensive when the real need is for the face plate to make things look stockish. 

Thanks,

Dennis

second in line if it falls through

Thanks!

2002AD sells tii style reinforcement plates as well as full length reinforcement plates for the trailing arms. Any idea whether the full reinforcement plates would change handling compared to the tii plates? Obviously stronger, but I'm looking at road handling in the same way polyurethane makes for a stiffer ride compared to rubber bushings. 

Thanks,

Dennis

I made it! They sold out and I didn't buy them.

Did end up ordering a Stahl header (now called ACP),based on the article about the dyno testing. Significantly less. Very pleased

Still available?

Thanks,

Dennis

Saw that. Trying to give the people associated with the forum a chance prior to reaching outside the community. 
Appreciate the link

thanks

Trying to find the knurled bolt for the rear subframe mount. Two if you have them

Knurled bolt for rear subframe mount. Two if you have them.

Love this forum! The knurled bolt on the passenger side has chewed up threads at the end so I can't put the nut on. Even I can push the bolt up to replace.

Thanks for the info! (11 years after you first wrote it)

Were these designed for a specific engine build spec, with the goal of improving performance or changing the exhaust note? Or, are they a bolt-on-to-whatever-M10-you-have sweet-looking stainless steel header? -KB

I asked him about the headers, "intended for 2.0-2.2l, 290-302 cam. Should improve power and torque through the midrange and top end without sacrificing off the line drivability and idle. This is NOT a race-only high RPM header, however it has been used and tested on track with good results"

Great article from Stahl. All about the data. 

Still want the Kooglewerks...

M10 specific, I'm guessing more race oriented as the run for a while before narrowing from 4 to 2. He recommends "running them free-flowing full 2.25" exhaust, header-back, for best results." 

Someone more knowledgeable chime in, but I think that means optimized for higher RPM's, (i.e. racing)

Do I need these on a daily driver car, no. Still want them...

Missed the first run, waiting to get my hands on the next batch.  Love them! 

June 1st. First batch sold out in a day

Things that I want that make no sense with the build I am going for

1969 finally completely stripped. Took the last few bits off today. 
Tomorrow I start building the wood mock up for attachment points for the rotisserie. Hopefully will have the metal arms fabricated in the next two weeks to get it to an acid bath

Sorry but have changed direction a bit. Seeing the need to add fuses/circuts for electric fans and fuel pump as well to power a subwoofer. Likely going to be wiring from scratch. 

Andy,

If not too late, I will take one as well.

Thanks,

Dennis

Congrats!

And since you're starting with a pretty clean electrical system slate, branch your circuits more than the original (6 fuse) setup so that fewer items are on a single fused circuit. 

Any specific suggestions on what to branch off?

Thanks,

Dennis
