Project: Go Fast/Giggle Gas

[sman]

My bucket has been hacked to fit the Walbro 400 but I still have the fuel pump and hotwire if you are interested. I even have a brand new fuel pump flex tube and filter sock I will give you

Sorry man, life has been beyond hectic lately. I cant apologize enough. Let me know what you want for the pump and hotwire kit!

Depending on which way you calculate it - the car doesn't have to be level.

Using Larry's method the rocker angle could be -2* so the nose is 2* down, then set the pinion at -4* so it's -2* from the rocker.

Mike/Jeff's method require the car to be level.

Everyone has an opinion of what is best - find out what works for you. My car the pinion points up to get the driveline angle correct - which MWC recommends using the driveline angle calculation.

Thanks!

I got the new TQ arm on tonight and that was all the farther my lower back allowed me to get. Will be putting the panhard rod on and seeing if I can get the relocation brackets on as well. Hoping I can get the TQ arm setup right, change the oil and get start getting it ready for saturday!

Also, who makes the best coil relocation kit? I really wanted to go the Katech route, but I cant justify that kind of money

EDIT: I have the round truck coils too....

No problem, I understand

$110 shipped? Includes pump, pump wiring, pump filter, new fuel tube (I already clamped it on), and casper hotwire....basically everything shown below

Holy crap was it even used?

Sounds good to me! You want paypal?

[1999Black_Z28]

Wasn't used very much...lol

The tube and filter are new because I ended up buying extra for my new pump (they are cheap compared to shipping costs)

PM sent...

Stopped on my way home to pickup some new cut off wheels to cut the e-brake cable mounts in half so theyll fit around the relocation brackets. Headed to the barn, got the car back on the hoist and in the air.

Unloaded the pinion is pointed up 2 degrees, so im no where close, right, I assume it will move way more than 4 degrees once loaded.

Got the old panhard rod off, lined it up to the new founders adjustable one and got it to the right length. Popped the first bolt in and found I had a problem. The factory bolts are significantly thicker by the head of the bolt, so much so that it wont fit in the new bushings. AND founders doesnt include mounting hardware. Strike 1 against them......

Back inside now to get cleaned up for dinner, but will be stopping somewhere to see if I can find this hardware and get it wrapped up tonight or tomorrow morning. Weather is too nice to not have this thing on the road this weekend.

Panhard rod is on, driver side relocation bracket is on, passenger side is when I ran into a problem. Went to remove the nut from the lower part of the shock so I could get the bracket on and the threads stripped.... Spent forever coaxing the nut off and finally got it apart. But now what the hell do I do? Do I need to order a new shock? Can the bolt that goes through the bottom eye and bushing be replaced?

Sorta screwed with the car stuck up in the air now

Spencer, not sure if you cut the ebrake brackets yet, but I just bent the inside side of mine out 90* and it works fine. It looks like an "L" now rather than a "U".

Also, I think my founders LCA relo brackets came with a hardware kit with a longer bolt...

[sman]

Already cut the brackets, but that would have worked, lol.

My brackets came with hardware, but they are UMI. I however did not get hardware for the founders panhard rod or the tq arm.

Still screwed on the shock front. Anyone have any ideas?

Can you put a die on it and rethread. Or rethread to an sae size

What? Mine is going together Saturday morning.....

[sman]

I definitely could borrow my dads tap and die set and rethread it. Wasn't sure if that was an OK option or not. I guess I will plan on that!

Got my tap and die sets, going to take a crack at it as soon as I get home.

Just so everyone knows, this is what im up against......
