John: There are a couple of places you could have slop; get someone to help steer: 1. Watch the ujoint while your assistant moves the steering wheel. If the...

John, if there is slop in the box, you can reduce it by REMOVING spacers from under the plate on top of the box. Just don't remove too much spacer or it will...
John, Try to check your lower a-arm bushings. The spring tension makes it hard to check them, so they could be worn out without you knowing it.... Dave A. ...
Interesting. Thanks Erik. I'll bear that in mind, but my money is currently on the u-joint. When I rebuilt the box it really seemed very linear. John Corbs ...
Thanks Dave. I'll look there too. John Corbs ... From: David Anderson To: alfaracing@yahoogroups.com Sent: Monday, March 03, 2008 5:12 PM Subject: Re: [Alfa...

Does anyone have any bench data on airflow using 40mm Webers with various size choke tubes. I have the data on 45 DCOE`s but I was hoping to find the CFM on...
Hi Guys: Another dumb question. I notice that many of the GTVs race with their hoods slightly open at the rear, I assume to aid cooling? Any do and don'ts on...
Hood pins. If you have stock latches, then use either one hood pin in the middle center of the rear of the hood or two, one in each rear corner. If you have...
Thanks Russ. I recall seeing this on a Jnr Zagato, but I think that that is the way it was designed? So, leaving the hood slightly open has no practical...
