    Roller idler arm questions for those that installed one.

    That idler arm you have is what you want. Greaseable and smooth operation. For someone like me, I would have to replace the center link, idler arm and bracket to get what you have. I say put it back on. That´s certainly great news. :) Are you going to put the manual conversion piece on the...

    Roller idler arm questions for those that installed one.

    Hey John, I took off the idler arm from my 68 hoping to do the roller conversion, but mine looks completely different than yours, the bracket does not have the stud built into it, instead it has a hole and the stud is built into the idler arm. Is there a way to make these kind of idler arms work...

    New timing chain and gears...

    Drain all the coolant, cooling fan and shroud, serpentine belt, remove everything that interferes with the removal of water pump and timing gear cover, crankshaft pulley, water pump, timing gear cover, and finally remove the gears and chain. I think that´s it.

    Oil pump drive Broken - Can it be driven?

    Make sure the motor is good, make the guy write you a note that says if the motor is no good, he´ll take the car back or lower his price. Make sure it is in writing. Maybe he´s selling it because he ****ed up the motor and that´s how he found out the oil pump drive was broken. :rolleyes:

    The SN65 project car

    Didn´t you mount that cooler in the area where you had thought about putting the extractor vents on the fender? I´m with Edbert and Reen, how much of a strain can that oil cooler put on the cooling system? Are you using the stock radiator?

    Disc Brake Conversion ?

    I´m only relaying the info he has in his website, if they work with power brake spindles that´s cool, saved you from spending more. :nice: You can also use a round file and file the holes for the studs just a little bit. When tightening the lugnuts spray some wd40 on the studs so the rotor...
