  7. Glad you got the parts located. Keep us posted, I'm curious about how well this combination centers over the rotor. I guess single piston calipers are self-centering? What are you doing for a parking brake?
  8. The legend reads #11 Fuel Supply pipe 3/16" and the #10 return 5/16" ? That smells backwards to me... Or is it a pressure / velocity thing before the pump?
  9. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=33733&item=8018990287 Looks like you won it the first time...... Maybe you can get it for $9.99 now.
  10. 26 spline output is a Jeep / MOPAR standard here is a Chrysler part# 5007409 A-904 with type 7260 u-joint-26 spline-6.8" long. 33.95 found it here: http://www.mopartsracing.com/parts/dtrain.html Neapco & Dana PN list here: http://www.sandstruck.com/catalog/driveline/slipyokes.htm
  11. My guess is "loaded" means with pads - for the brackets you'll probably only find those still on a '81 Cressida.
  12. Put the 454 heads on the 350. Then port them with the complete engine in the car. I did this swap in my garage yesterday. with my wife......Morgan Fairchild. Yeah that's the ticket
  13. Cavalier Forum - Where can I buy JDM stickers?
  14. No body check these things? Geez! The DMV won't allow BREAD 8 on a license plate.
  15. 1 U.S. Gallon = 231 ci.... Hmmmm..... also the same displacement as the Buick 90° odd-fire V6, the Chevrolet 90° V6, and the Ford 90° V6. AKA 3.8L
  16. Sure: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=4591988710&rd=1&sspagename=STRK%3AMESO%3AIT&rd=1
  17. I've got a mental picture of the guts of my '66 Mustang's toploader 4-speed, not that that helps, but I think what happened is your shift arms / linkage is engaging 2 gears at once. I happened to me several times with the old worn-out factory shifter, until I replaced it with a Hurst Competition 20 years ago. The external rods (there are 3 right? 1&2, 3&4, 5&R) and arms have 3 positions gear - neutral - gear. Make sure all 3 are in the center / neutral position, and that all 3 of the shifter lever arms are all in the center neutral position then re-connect the rods. I think you can discount the 5th gear (Isn't this a non-overdrive 5th?) lever position as the suspect, since the input shaft in spinning freely.
  18. 2 questions: Do you have a picture of the bracket used for this? Why does the caliper mount to the front of the strut?
  19. I know this has been disproved, but always liked this tale about engineering design: The U.S. Standard Railroad Gauge (distance between the rails) is 4 feet, 8-1/2 inches or 56-1/2 inches. Now that's an exceedingly odd number. Why was that width chosen? Our research will tell you why. The U.S. purchased their first railroad engines from England who designed & built them using expatriate engineers. Their first rail lines were built by the same people who built the pre-railroad tramways, and that's the gauge (width) they used. The tramways used the same jigs and tooling they used for building wagons which used the same wheel spacing. All other wagon manufactures used the same wheel width. The wagons wheel ruts would ware into the roads making it impossible for any other wheel width to navigate roads both in Europe & England. The first long distance roads in Europe were built by Imperial Rome for the benefit of their legions. The same thoroughfares have been used ever since. The initial ruts were first made by Roman war chariots. These chariots were designed to be pulled by two horses hitched side by side. The chariot wheels had to be spaced far enough apart to avoid the hoof marks left by the horses, yet not protrude past the flanks of the horses to prevent entanglement with opposing traffic or roadside vegetation. Since all chariots were made by Imperial Rome and they were all alike. Thus, we have the answer to the original question based upon our insistent research completed by the the VLC Line Engineers. The United States Standard Railroad Gauge of 4 feet, 8-1/2 inches derives from the original specification for an Imperial Roman army war chariot. Two thousand years later and a continent away, the track layout of most of the U.S. railway network is based upon the fact that Imperial Roman chariots were made to be just wide enough to accommodate the rear-ends of two war horses. This is proof that Specs and bureaucracies live forever. So, the next time you are handed a specification just wonder if a couple of horse's behind's caused it, and you may be exactly right. ha~ha!!
  20. Had a girlfriend named Dawn....
  21. I read that in the paper. The guy is a pansy. He's suing H.D. for being left alone in the head for 15 minutes.
