Yes, you do. I replaced mine when I had a c4 years ago. You will have to drop the pan and remove the valve body. Its really very easy so don't be worried about removing those. Once you get those off then remove the servo cover and then the servo. You will see a "thing" fall out of the inside of...
DAMN!!! This is why I build my own motors. It looks to me like the oil pickup tube is what was stoping the motor from turning over? Is is the wrong style of pickup tube for that oil pan? What the hell was up with the hole in the cam bearing jurnal?
I believe I found a solution... I had to limit the steering stops so it doesn't turn as much. It didn't take a lot to clear the uca's. The wheel hit only in the most extreem of turns. I took the steer stops off and modified them to be adjustable. I cut some of the stop off and welded a nut to...
My '66 does the same thing. I have only had to use it a couple of times and it truly is worthless. How did they get by in the old days when the car was new???
Yes, I do. When you buy the Global West UCA's you get a template to relocate the them. Mine have been on there for so long I am not sure I can even find the template anymore.
Yeah, they are installed. The one on the RH lower control arm is just loose. That would make sense that it rubs when turning right only. Good thinking dodgestang. I am going to pull the springs so I can compress the suspension and make sure I get no rubbing in all situations. I don't want to cut...
So I have a '66 coupe with global west upper control arms. I also have '02 bullitt wheels and 1.25 spacers. I put the spacers and the wheels on the front. All looks good untill I go to turn the wheels. They get about 75% of the turn in either direction and they hit the leading and trailing edge...
its true, deals are out there. I have $30 in my block right now as I have sold some of the stock parts to regain some of the expense. It will soon be free once the injectors are gone.
He is right, no lube is required. I work on big tractors though and we use anti-seze on the splines of the input shaft. We use it sparingly. I have never used anything on cars. If you are using a bronze bushing for the pilot, it is self lubricating.
If its just stock internals, then I think the deal is fine. Thats about what you would find around here. In fact, there is a completely rebuilt roller motor (0 miles) on the local craigslist (des moines, ia) for $650. That sounds like a deal to me.
Most of the time when people put an extensive cage in, the interior doesn't go back in. With this case you will have to trim to fit. I think your on the right track, it will just take some time to get it right.
