I got the ignition fixed so I decided to take the car out for a spin. Started it up and tried to put it in reverse but the gears were grinding. Turned it off and put it in reverse but when I cranked it with the clutch in ,it lurched rearward. The clutch was not disengaging. It has always been a...

It appears that my ignition switch is bad on MONO66. I have the relay upgrade but I need to know where to find a replacement switch like the one on the car, with blade connectors. The ones I have seen online look like different. Thanks, chuck

What tires are you guys advising to get now. My BFGs are just too hard for good traction. I have a set of Goodyear racing tires, but they are not good for daily driving.

My hard cast aluminum valve covers hit the valve train when trying to fit. Have any of you had this issue? Did you just grind the offending area or use adapters to raise them? This stuff is tough as hell and difficult to grind.

I am finally getting the car back together after a lengthy respite. I have a red wire coming from the AC compressor with a male end to it that I cannnot remember where it attached . You would think it would be obvious but I cannnot locate the other end. Any ideas? thanks; chuck

Is there a special pilot bushing that I need for my 347? A standard ford 302 bearing or bronze bushing does not have enough relief for the length of the input shaft on my ZF, the cogs on the shaft hit the face of the bushing.

I am pulling the engine tomorrow so I can install the new 347. I assume I need to pull the transaxle also? Is there a sequence that is better tan another? thanks chuck

what mods might I have to do to go from my 302 engine to a stroker 351w. I know it is taller, could I use the same headers? thanks; chuck

I have never removed the front clamshell completely, but last night I popped the latches and raised it in the rear and slid it forward enough to check the brake fluid levels. When I slid it back and buttoned up the latches it seemed to have more play in the front than I remember. You can lift up...

which way do I turn the bias screw to obtain more front bias? in fact, which master is the front and which the rear? thanks; chuck

I added the roundells today, what do you think?

I finally got the CAV up and running after a long hiatus working on other cars. The webers worked well at the first start. I will tune later this week.

what is wrong with this picture?

how do you remove the inner door insert on the drivers side? I want to start dynamatting and insulating the doors and the drivers side has the AC controls that do not seem to want to come out easily. Also, can the door be adjusted from the front hinge/ mount side at all? or is the only...

has anyone had Olthoff do his mod for your cable shifter? Is it significantly better? I find the cable shifter a little vague. Also , have any of you become serious about sound deadening and heat transfer to the cabin? I spent quite a bit of time on the CAV adding Dynamat and neoprene sound...

the MK11 came in yesterday, any tricks to opening the front clamshell? Also, what are the size of the meatballs used on the sides and front /rear of the MK11's? Nice car bty , very quick,shifter is a little balky(cable operated), definitly smaller than my CAV inside. thanks

Just got an email from Lance stating that the SPF GT40's will be included in the next edition of SAAC

I recently completed installing Ian's shifter kit for my CAV. I can highly recommend this upgrade. It does away with the sloppy Audi rubber bushings and imprecise shifter mechanism. It takes about two hours to install if the interior is already out of the car. If any of you decide to do this...
