looking for a 69 single point distributor for my 510. One in there right now is dual point and shot to shit. Call with offers 909 810 8797

they were the 40234-21000 ones, if anyone else is looking. thanks guys

you know the diameter of that dust cap? i was wondering if its the same as the 510, cause I am having a lot of trouble finding what I need 1.535" diameter

alright, here's something thats really weird. recently bought an 80amp alternator for the hell of it. installed it less than a month ago, everything's great. one day it doesn't start, so I charge the battery and go buy a volt meter. After charging for a day and a half the battery reads 12.2 volts, turn on the headlights and it drops down to 11.8ish, everything's good so far. then I crank the car and its reading all over the place, from 9 to 12, no consistency. so I put a brick on the throttle to keep the revs high and it settles in at around 10.51 so looks like my alternator is crap, but I just got it, is there anything else that could cause this?

you should do it like BRE, just not as bright a white, like a cream and then the red

thanks guys, ended up going for the 15x7, seems like thats the best choice, maybe 8s in the back later, when i have enough power to justify it... yeah i ended up realizing i'd need the 114s...that would have been bad...

looking at a 15x8" set of RB rotas, they say they have 35mm offset, http://www.racinglab.com/rota-rb-15x8-4100-35.html my rear is flared so I'm not worried about that, you guys think it will clear the front? my front is stock except for some antiroll bars and not lowered, I could just go with the 7" but I'm wanting a 8...

well i guess all ends are beginnings. i finished the rear swaybar at midnight a little while back and drove it to the only shop i trust with my baby for alingment and some electrical work that i don't know how to do yet. they did their magic and came back with some bad news. the drive shaft is unbalanced cause they did something wacky when the PO put in the 5spd and could come loose, the tranny proabably has a weak bearing cause it drops out of 5th all the time, i somehow have 2 degrees of camber in the back, and a bit of toe out, the floor boards are crap (which i knew) and that there was no way he would try to make it to WA state from so cal and that depending on snow and salt it might rust to hell very quickly needless to say not the happiest given that i need to leave 5 am thurs and it will be in a rental car. so im leaving it with the mechanic and hoping to drive it up over thanksgiving or christmas. beginning to understand love/hate more than i wanted. and disliking the fact that i wont be able to work on it for a while. so i got no car for college. but the bushings are done and the sway bars went in alright, hope this thread helped someone out there hope to be putting more stuff up soon, Joe

i did the fiero rad mod two or three months ago, napa part 8223 is what i got, then so it should still be there. just trimmed a few inches off and worked great

last night was advantageous. for the first time in a while,the front of the car is back on the ground i went to home depot and for seventy something cents got this, dremeled off all beyond the first two holes, and called it good, it works well enough, especially for less than a buck i finished installing the front swaybar, then dropped it and torqued it to spec, going to torque the rest of the front tonight, then the rear swaybar, then im driving again :D man this is close

i will be dorming at a school in walla walla, which is right next to whittier, in the bottom right corner of the state. where are you located? yeah i guess i could just use a bolt, would kinda like for them to both be pins though... not that anyone will look or care, but just kinda overall quality of the build...idk, now that i said that i will not be able to find a pin and end up using a bolt ;) i kinda like the green myself, i may get tired of it later though, for now it stays:D i looked at the rear disk conversion, i like the parts, i just really need to get this baby on the road, need to find out what else will go wrong before i make the long trek, but im logging it all away for later

as much as i would really love to do a complete suspension conversion, coilovers in the rear, new struts, adjustable camber plates, and all the stuff i need for the steering, and thats a lot, i am already pressed for time and money, mostly time thought, i have to drive my baby from so cal to wash state sept 16 and 17 and i'm a slow worker, mainly cause i'm an idiot and everything i have done is new to me. down the road though... about tonight's endeavors, i got pictures. i finished hooking up the brake lines and managed to get the springs back in pretty smoothly, let the arm hang, set it up loose, then put my conan-strength floor jack right underneath the spring seat and pushed up till the shock could be bolted in btw, these aren't the stock shocks setup, it came like this and i have no idea what it is, anyone know? got a box in the mail today :D they wanted me to attach the rear to the studs holding the bump stops in, but when i started unbolting it, the bump stop just spun too, so got think of something for that. i then started work on the front, damn it gets heavy after a while! and its way beefier than the old one, which is good. i only managed to get one bolt in before i got frustrated by the lack of food and light, but its gonna look badass once its all hooked up on a separate note...i lost a piece in the e brake setup. its my own fault for leaving it apart so long, im still hoping it will show up somewhere, or remember that i put it somewhere, but im not counting on it. its the pin and coter that holds this to the actual assembly this is what i need i know a machine shop that could re make the pin for me, but they are pricey, anyone got a better idea?? man i love how close i am, all bushings are now installed... just the swaybars before i can put tires on her and drive agin...man is been a while...but its getting close, i can taste it

updates!! sorry guys for the wait, i was on vacation with the fam, zion is amazing if your ever in the area... first of all SORRY FOR THE LACK OF PICTURES got the bolts thinned down a hair so they slide right in, used a crowbar to lever the control arms in, tapped the bolts through and tightened them down, re connected the brake hoses and was working on the e brakes when i decided this was better not done by flashlight. (hence the no pics) pics tomorrow hopefully
