    Rubbing doesn't really do this justice

    I had to go with 225's because the 245s just wouldnt work. I was shocked at how far out the 245's propruded. I hope you can get it to work but w/out power steering these 225 are hard enuf.

    Heres the 2.5 X pipe on my 66' along with a pic of the pocket where the muffs should sit. Its a low kit but thats partly to do with my headers hanging down so far.

    Cut openings in front Valance for coolers

    When I was in my 20's I drilled some holes in my R-model valance and fiberglassed in some 3" pvc tused to hold some driving lights. I am unhappy with the look now but took the lights out and plan to add a intercooler to the center this coming winter and may somehow incorperate them in that design.

    Can someone tell me which fuse is igntion hot on original fuse box?

    This may not apply for your application but its worth mentioning that the post is great for acc. but not if yours needs power while your key is in the "start" possition.....That is experience talking.

    1966 T5 Vibration Issue

    While I have a T56 I am a bit confussed as to what angle your engine is at? It needs 3 degrees or close to it. I set mine up this way and have had no vibration issues so I would make certain you are very close to that.

    my hyd. clutch install

    I have not experienced the same issues with a hard pedal but have to agree its more likely an issue of leverage.

    looking for a how-to on enlarging the tranny tunnel

    I bought the replacement tunnel from Darkhorse and used it as a template to mark the tunnel and then cut it out....If you have factory A/C you will loose it at least until one of us T-56 users starts hacking on their a/c unit and dash to raise it up....I may do that this sumer...

    Some pics of interior items +

    That looks great. I did something like that in my trunk but choose to hide the amps and 12's. You have me thinking I should have displayed them but some of my amps are old school Fosgate stuff and not the prettiest in the world like yours. KEEP IT UP!

    PVC valve ideas please...

    I will have to check but I think that I gutted the inside of it. I will check that out tonight and try to get back to you. It was said that you can vent the breathers but you may have smoke under the hood if you go that route...:nono:

    5000.00 To spend....Ideas?

    I do not have any type of subframe connectors installed yet as my T-56 cross member is going to make the ones I have a pain to install.

    Should I remove my clutch pedal spring?

    I have a Mcleod hyd. bearing and its definatly enough to raise the pedal. This is one of my favorite mods because my clutch pedal feels better than my mini coopers. A note of caution though, set it up correctly and seek help if needed as it can extend too far and then have to be resealed and...

    c4 vs aod

    I always say when you can upgrade do it so i'd lean toward the AOD. 15 years ago I rebuilt my C-4 and was shocked at how easy it was and was not quite the mechanic I am today.

    It has been 3 years and my memory isnt that great but I think I used 4.5 leafs and was actually thinking to myself yesterday how much better the car handles. I have had 620#s and the 1" sway bar on the car for years but before the rear spring change the rear wouldnt stay planted like it does...

    I remember the first time I started mine and the sense of pride that I had. knowing I had touched every part and tightened every bolt. I have a lifted Diesel Excursion that is my daily driver but as I walked out of the garage I noticed that it had not remote started. As I suspected the...
