Ok guys...I'm getting ready to install the cage in the 71 and was wanting to see if anyone has any pics of their front down bars? The bars I'm...
My hat's off to you...I've never had one that easy lol.
Jeff...you obviously must be an anorexic, circus contortionist, dwarf...with tiny hands lol... ;)
The single most difficult part to change on these cars in my opinion! They obviously built the rest of the car around the wiper motor......
I'd still take a good, long look at the tires and make sure it isn't them. Anythime I've been around an out of balance situation...it was OBVIOUS...
If it's the flex plate, you should be able to feel it even when the car is sitting still...is this the case? If not, I'd check for a broken belt...
Amen! Keep the alternator! Power loss is negligible, and if you're running a modern electronic ignition, it needs a full 12 volts to operate...
Yet another use for WD40! I'd get one of the gallon cans and let it eat. Works great!
I completely agree...and don't think I'm pushing anywhere near that with mine. And I'm not expecting any factory block to live for any length of...
Ding, Ding, Ding...I think we have a winner lol. Sounds like what I'm going to do. Should at least get me to the track with some respectable...

86 roller block...I'd like to step up to a Man O War block...but not until I see how the economy is going to do lol. Can get one for roughly...
Looking at doing another 302 block based 347 to start off this year. Cracked the #2 main in the previous block, which was found after "other"...
If you do this ( "X" them), you could tie them in with a driveshaft loop and maybe get everything to clear. Really depends on what you're trying...
Jack the car up and support it under the frame rails with jack stands or solid cribbing, then manipulate the height of the jack so that you find...
Yes, it comes with the kit when you order them. But, if you purchase cal-tracs from someone used, which a lot of people do, they usually don't...
On the front ones, the best way to do it....is to get someone else to do them! lol...I cussed, fussed, bloodied knuckles, and almost threw tools...
Calvert's actually recommends using aluminum front bushings...and you can order them from Calvert Racing website. Don't think it really matters...
