    So much for MM axles

    in Gen I & II Chevy V8 Tech Board

    Posted · Edited by fastzcars

    Chequered flag sells 39 spline versions, but they are $830 a pair , plus you have to get the matching companion flanges to run them at $490. so you be in $1,320.

     That looks like a clean break! I hope you get your car back together soon!

    Now I'll have to inspect my MM axles as well just in case!

    Brake Master Cylinder Replacement

    Tom, you do NOT want to skimp on your brakes for obvious reasons. dont mess around with brakes without a GOOD understanding of what you are doing! Your putting your car, yourself and others in harms way.  My suggestion is to get  new lines made to size with the appropriate fittings size's , the wilwood is a american standard size threads and the originl dastsun fiting sizes are metric. here is a great thread that explains it all! I don't mean to sound like a A___E but the few dollars and hours your trying to save is just not worth it. That's my 2 cents!

    ZX painless wiring kit

    in Gen I & II Chevy V8 Tech Board

    Posted

    I've done about 3 wiring jobs since i finished my z about 5 years ago, so i have a little bit on knowledge on the z.

     

    I to used a hotrod universal 21 circuit  wiring harness very similar to the "painless" harness except it was about half the price.  I'm going from memory here, but the steering collum  wiring from the z was the most difficult part. The stock light switch actually grounds the circuit to the headlights, there is a constant POSITIVE 12 volts to one side the head lights. I installed 2 relays to take the load off the switch.

     

    Other than that everything else was just following the wiring's location written on the wires themselves. My first full wiring job was my Z and that took me 2 weeks of on and off time.The last job I did was for a 69 chevelle that took me 2 full days. I know it looks intimidating , but just separate the workload down to smaller sections. Work one circuit at a time and you'll get through it. I hope that helps!!!

    Clutch problems again...

    It's bee a while since i been on the sight , but I have a couple of questions? when you say you have a stock slave cylinder, what year and car is it out of? What is the clearance between your throwout bearing and the clutch fingers? If your clearance is too tight the clutch and flywheel assembly will heat up and expand, taking up that clearance. If my memory serves me right there should be about 0.100 to 0.300 clearance. But don't take my word for it,  refer to the clutch manufactures specs.

    SBC Engine Bay Pics

    Posts deleted. The thread starter asked for SBC's and picture sizes need to be kept down to something reasonable.

     

     

    You know there is a thread about headers that you posted a response to 4 days ago and a picture of some tri-y headers were just as large a file as the one you deleted. If your going to delete someone's post's at least you should not be selective with your decision making.

     

    Here is the link to the post I'm referring to. its post #4 pic

    Sanden A/C Compressor install

    Nope. None of the control's or the fan heater box are used. The old heater box will have to be removed. The vintage air unit is all self contained in one box. You'll have to make custom brackets to mount it up inside/behind the dash. I found it easier to remove the dash to mount it. It was not an easy install by any means. As an alternative Motorsports Auto has an a/c kit as well. You might want to call them up as well.

    Sometimes, you have to be an old hotrodder and just make the stuff yourself (and save some money!)

     

    Here's a link to a page of engine compartment shots that show where it's mounted. http://alteredz.com/TrialFit.htm

     

    Totally agree with you on this one Pete. Some times you have no choice if you want it to all fit in our Z's I have a/c P/S and Super charger all fit under the stock hood. believe me I HAD to make EVERY bracket from scratch to make it all fit!
