Flywheel/Clutch questions.... I'm baaaaack
Miles replied to marinez's topic in Gen I & II Chevy V8 Tech Board
You are using the stock Chevy rams horn manifolds? Depending on the engine mounts used, the stock manifold may not clear the steering shaft. Do you have a picture of the engine mounts? -
This was my third failed 1 inch Wilwood MC. I bought a 15/16 replacement from Arizona Z Cars. The fan/shroud/radiator combination is working perfectly. The temp gauge stays between 170deg and 185 - 190deg in traffic on hot days.

Flywheel/Clutch questions.... I'm baaaaack
Miles replied to marinez's topic in Gen I & II Chevy V8 Tech Board
You are way ahead of the game. Hope you can post pictures of the trans install. The only other thing that comes to mind is to check the balance of the new flywheel. My flywheel was off right out of the box. Also, I had a bad experience with the shop that shortened and balanced my driveshaft. After cutting the driveshaft, they welded the shaft back together off axis which caused a high speed vibration. Had to pull the driveshaft and take it to another shop to correct the problem. -
Do all of the exterior lights come on? If not, which lights are out?

Flywheel/Clutch questions.... I'm baaaaack
Miles replied to marinez's topic in Gen I & II Chevy V8 Tech Board
Do you know that you have to dent the body to allow clearance for the clutch arm? Do you know about drive line phasing? There are a lot of details about the 240Z V8 conversion you need to know before you start the project. Purchase and read the JTR V8 conversion manual. You can buy it here: https://jagsthatrun.com/collections/jtr-v8-conversion-manuals/products/copy-of-v-8-conversion-manual-for-volvo-200-series JTR also sells many of the conversion parts you will need e.g., mounting brackets, hood bracket, speedometer drive gear (goes in the trans), etc. -
Flywheel/Clutch questions.... I'm baaaaack
Miles replied to marinez's topic in Gen I & II Chevy V8 Tech Board
Note: you should purchase the JTR Z V8 conversion manual. And research HybridZ before doing the swap. The parts listed below are what I used. 1. T5 transmission: The WC T5 transmission is tilted 15 degrees towards the driver. The 15 deg tilt is absolutely no problem, I have done two. Unless you want to make a special transmission mount, you will need an 89 Camaro T5 bell housing, driveshaft, flywheel, clutch pressure plate/disk, throw out arm, throw out bearing, clutch slave and a 7/8" clutch MC. Note that there is a V8 and a V6 version of the T5 transmission. They have different spline counts. You will need the V8 version. 2. Bell Housing: 1989 -90 bell housing for V8. Verify that the pivot ball is in place as that part is NLA. 3. Flywheel: 158 tooth flywheel: https://www.summitracing.com/parts/zzz-50-6516 4. Clutch Kit: Zoom High Performance Clutch Kits HP1675-1A https://www.summitracing.com/parts/zzz-hp1675-1a/applications/ 5. Clutch Hydraulic Components: Camaro Clutch Slave: Napa sells the Camaro clutch slave. https://www.napaonline.com/p/NCF73110 Clutch Master Cylinder: Both Tilton and Wilwood make 7/8in. clutch master cylinders. The Wilwood unit is more compact allowing use of a larger brake booster. Tilton 74-875U: https://www.summitracing.com/parts/til-74-875u Wilwood 260-10374: https://www.summitracing.com/parts/wil-260-10374 6. Clutch Hose and Fittings: Hose: -3 A/N SS hose. Length TBD Roll pin to A/N SS line adaptor Russell 640281 (connects -3 A/N SS line to the Camaro slave): https://www.summitracing.com/parts/rus-640281 MC A/N SS -3 A/N line to 1/8in NPT adaptor Earls 961603ERL (connects -3 line to the MC): https://www.summitracing.com/parts/ear-961603erl 6. Starter: Hitachi gear reduction starter or similar unit. -
Her asking a dog question is a testimony to the high regard people have for the HybridZ community. I've seen a look in dogs' eyes, a quickly vanishing look of amazed contempt, and I am convinced that basically dogs think humans are nuts. - John Steinbeck

Dogs didn't evolve to live in apartments. They need to be outside where they can be dogs and get exercise - a lot of exercise. They are also social (pack) animals, and become anxious when left alone. The shock collar is not the solution. If you keep your dog in the apartment and don't do the right things to help him thrive he will become fat and neurotic i.e. you will have a fat dog that is depressed/anxious and barks a lot. Your choices are: Take a class on dog behavior and Move to a place suitable for dogs If you are not prepared to learn about dog behavior, exercise him every day and provide your dog with a proper environment then give him to someone who does.

Yes - another Brake Thread. S12W and drums?
Miles replied to PrincePaul's topic in Brakes, Wheels, Suspension and Chassis
You can buy directly from Carbotech to save time. Might be cheaper too. -

Engine dies after medium throttle input

Intake leak = lean sag upon opening throttle. Fix the leak first. Many many recent posts on the problem you are having. -

You can rent or buy a spindle pin removal tool from a member on HybridZ or the company in this video. -
Contact Dave at the link I provided you. He rebuilds combo switches and has parts. He rebuilt my switches. Eventually my switch fell apart so I bought the last new OEM combo switch Black Dragon had for $300. Or buy up several old switches and rebuild one and keep one as a spare.

Need to be replaced. Trash them and start over. Many options available.
