'73 G-Nose 5.3/T-56 Work In Progress


Recommended Posts

Small update: I haven't done much to the car but drive it lately.  She is up to about 1500 miles.  Getting closer to ordering some new suspension parts. 

 

2-3 weeks ago, on a Sunday afternoon out for a drive I performed an... overly ambitious... 1-2 shift and broke a U-joint on the passenger side axle.  I swapped out the stub for the later 27-spline piece with new lug studs, bearings and seal and swapped in the Z31T CV axle with flipped cage.  Seems to be working perfectly.  Now I just need to do the driver side axle before I break another U-joint.  The snap was a lot less violent than I would have ever expected it to be, luckily I wasn't going too fast and pulled over quickly, so the axle flopping around in the control arm didn't do any damage.  Also, noticeably less "clunk" in the driveline now, even with just one axle swapped.
