    JEG's AN Fittings

    in Fuel Delivery

    Posted

    Thank you sir. I've got a whizwheel and the vocabulary of a truck driver so I guess I'm ready to start.

     

    I hope you have AN vice blocks because they're VERY useful...

     

    Are these for holding the fittings while you install the line?

    OK, stupid question. How do the AN fittings mount onto braided line.

     

    I would like to start making some fuel lines using AN fittings and have not seen any close up yet. Are they twisted on, crimped, etc.?

     

    Thanks

    $260 heater control valve-ouch!!!

    in Miscellaneous Tech

    Posted

    I'm rebuilding the heater box in my 1978 280 and the heater control valve is shot. I contacted Motorsport Auto to order their $81.56 replacement and it seems that there are none left in the US and they have to be ordered from Japan. New price $260. They are on back order so I went ahead and placed the order-no choice. I have looked all over and haven't found one other than the MS one.

     

    I really just wanted to give everyone a heads-up on this because eventually they will be gone everywhere. It may be time for some of the heater/AC gurus on this site to see if there are suitable replacements available from other makes or models of cars...hey, it's been done with wiper motors and blower motors so far.

    There is an architectural antique auctioning company here in Atlanta that I used to work for during college. It was all very high-end stuff and always touted as having no reserve.

     

    There were ALWAYS people in the crowd working with the auctioneers posing as legitimate buyers who would drive up the price or buy the item when it didn't bring what the auction company wanted. It would crack me up to see the same item resurface auction after auction.

    Weight of Shell

    It was me and three friends when I put my 280 shell on the rotisserie. It takes a moment to get everything lined up to mount the car and you really need the stability of four people- plus one (my wife) to slide each end on.

    Replacement foam for heater box

    in Miscellaneous Tech

    Posted

    I have come to the restoration of the heater box portion of this odyssey...oh boy! The box is out and completely disassembled. The heater control valve and thermo-control unit are both shot and all the connecting hoses are rotten. The heater core looks like it may be OK; I'm going to take it to a radiator shop to be tanked and pressure checked.

     

    Anyway, all of the insulating foam in the unit has disintegrated. I need to know what to use as a suitable replacement for this foam and what type of glue to use. I did a search but didn't find what I was looking for. Anybody know of a good replacement foam?

     

    I can see where the foam was on the door over the heater core and around where it sealed to the dash duct but thats about it. It looks as though there was some foam on either side of the heater core and possibly elsewhere in the box...I'm just not sure where. Does anybody know?

    Thanks!

    JTR engine mount questions?

    in Gen I & II Chevy V8 Tech Board

    Yo, check out your local Autozone, they have the required mounts, $7.99 each, part number 2282. I have done 3 swaps using the JTR kit and these mounts, no problems as of yet. Good Luck!

     

    I just checked online and the GM 3990332 mounts are $78.00 and the Autozone replacement part IS $7.99! Sounds way too good to be true; anybody else tried these mounts?

    Go to D&D's website and scope the parts to customize one. D&D's tech line is GREAT and they can tell you what you'll need to fortify your T5. They also have all the diagrams online for you to do it yourself. Use a Digicam or video cam when you disassemble your tranny and you won't have any re-assembly issues.

     

    What is D&D? What is their website?

    Thanks.

    Rebuild Half Shafts?

    in Drivetrain

    Posted

    I was just discussing this in another thread: "Anybody ever try Advanced Auto's half shaft?"

     

    Jon posted a photo of a disassembled halfshaft in this thread and I was wondering something as I looked at the ball bearings and plastic spacers:

     

    Wouldn't it make the halfshaft much stronger if you substituted additional ball bearings for the plastic spacers?

     

    It would add a lot more steel in those grooves...right?
