Re: Throttle Shaft / Lever
First I prepared a chisel but found it too heavy and unwieldy. Then I took a punch and ground a groove with the angle grinder and beveled the sides. With a little patience and a hundred hammer blows...

Re: Throttle Shaft / Lever
Thank you Bob and McGarret. Sometimes it pays to take a little extra time to make it look right. My only intention was to preserve the original brass lever. The original shaft was badly bend and had...

Re: Bypass oil filter
I wonder, if someone ever cut an oil filter open to see if the oil pressure is enough to use the whole filter or if the filter is only used at the lower portion because of the lack of proper oil...

Re: Carb/Choke Cleaner
Carb./Brake cleaner is very aggressive and can damage the paint. I use regular paint thinner (not lacquer thinner) and a paint brush. It's way less aggressive and does the job. Old cars need some...

Just engine replaced or replaced with and rebuilt engine? I would be curious and would at least drop the pan. That gives you some peace of mind. Also, you may see if the engine is rebuilt and if the...

Re: Toe-in adjustment
Actually that's a good advice. I would recommend the same. Any toe in is better then no toe in. Since 1.5 mm is next to zero, I would try 3 mm just to see if there is any differnce. It will never...

Re: Toe-in adjustment
