I bought a brand new 76 Beta Coupe in late 77. AC worked fine as long as you were moving. The fan wasn't coming on and the dealer couldn't figure it out. I...
Yeah, that's too bad because it's a simple fix too. You just bypass the pressure switch on the output of the condenser. Ground the sucker full time and the...
Tom said: Well, as I always remind myself: "The car is almost 30 years old, what do you expect?" I'm older than that - all my stuff still works :-) Pulled my...
... Hmmm, it's gonna be mid 30s here today. Wait though, 30s Centigrade. Hehehe. This is when I wish I had AC in my Montecarlo. A couple of years ago I had to...
Does anyone have the correct oil pressure switch wiring diagram? The way it is shown, the oil light would be off along with the fuel pump relay being off. ...
Does any one happen to know The stock spring rates of the scorpion? I also need to know The weight distribution? I'm trying to calculate a performance set...
Jack, What exactly do you mean by "extra bump that made me customize the washer-plates"? Are you saying that there is an exact fit from NAPA for the Axle...
Jason: From the spec. book: Rear: 336mm free length for the Scorp., 343daN (kg) static load, 315 mm f.l. for M/C, 303 0r 309 daN (kg) s.l. Front: 314mm f.l. ,...
1 daN = 10 Newtons (2.25 lbs force). Attached is a table I made a while back. Ignore the Jamex #s - they turned out to be from a completely different car. -...
Hi Scott, Attached a fuel pump relay diagram from the Montecarlo. Scorpion should be the same, but wire colors could differ. The relay drawings are a bit...
Good observations, Barry. I have a friend in Pennsylvania who's folks used to run a Fiat dealership and his expression for a Fiat's longevity, the body that...
Bruce; The "daN" is decanewtons. Only the Italians would put decanewtons (a mass measurement) as the primo nomenclature and then follow it with (kg) which is...
oops- hadn't got to Ken's post. Jason, you might want to search for an earlier post by Simon Taylor. He races a Monte in the UK and posted the spring rates...
Simon is in South Africa, not the UK. There are several Montes in the UK who race - Paul Garside - Yellow one, David Marshall - Grey one, Neil Cullen - red...
Those who are in "digest" mode, and can't see the pictures attached in this email, may contact me direct, and I'll email them to you. The grille pictured is...

The car was such bad news I got rid of it before they could fix it. I had every problem imaginable. Leaky shocks, rust, cracked paint, oil leaks, two accidents...
We were in Palm Desert California this past July, ambient temp was about 43C during the day, but dropped to 21C at night. But it was so dry it didn't feel bad....
Are, that was very close to the temps I had in the Sahara 45C in the shade, 55C out in the sun at mid day and 23C at night :) Best Regards David London, UK ......
Fellas, Anyone else going to the Alameda Car Show this Sunday? If so, wanna hook up? Also, Barry Marsh, if you want I can bring the rest of your stuff - except...
I just received my CSC exhaust and MAN is it ever cool!!! It is such a treat to get new and nicely made parts for a 30 year old car! Thanks, Tony. It’s...
"BTW, sorry I have contributed much recently." That should read HAVEN'T!!! I'm telling you, the job is eating my brain! and my free time at the same time!!! ...
J.O; 2) That lower tab mounts to an arm that ties the header to the engine block, purpose is to take pivot stress off the header mounting flange and studs. ...
... The mid 80's ones pull a decent amount ($13-18k)...they have the best power with the most reliable gearbox of any of the earlier 911s (not the SC tho). ......
J.O.: Will's right about the lower mount, be sure to secure it to the block somehow to keep the flange/tube joints from cracking. I agree with you, the CSC is...
