Last Sunday, we thought we had tuned and timed the car. Tonight I fired it up and the problems returned. It only fires on 4 cylinders. Hooked up the timing ligt and nothing on #1 sparkplug. Shut the engine down and restarted it. Now all 8 fire. Tried to set the timing to 10deg BTDC and the...

Progress made inch by inch Yesterday we were able to get gears 2 - 3 - 5. First, reverse and 4th just wouldn't work. Took everything apart and positioned the shifter in neutral and the transaxle in neutral. Attached the gear selector cable. Still no first, reverse or 4th. Put the transaxle...

We thought of that, but it would require tilting the engine too far

Here is an old picture that shows the problem. The bellhousing has an integral pocket for the starter. as you can see, it won't clear the rounded bottom portion of the chassis. Putting the engine and transaxle in as a unit is easy as it drops in. But with the engine in, the bellhousing won't...

Ross The chassis was not originally designed to use a ZF. I small pocket had to be cut into the chassis to fit the starter. So when I try to push it in, it hits the chassis. I have to go at an angle which causes the input shaft to not make a straight shot into the clutch and pilot bushing.

Getting it out wasn't hard at all. Getting it in is!!

Is this where I need to drill the holes?

I have been reluctant to drill the holes, but will give it a try tonight. About what size should I cut? Thanks Bill
