Are you sure the 2.0 flywheel won't fit in the bellhousing, or is it just a ring gear problem? I have a 2 liter in a '64 spider. I had the flywheel machined...

The old (original?) rear anti-sway bar weighs approx 10 lbs, and the new Beninca bar weighs aprox 15 lbs. So unfortunately, there is now weight savings. Yes,...
1. Renia's Alfetta GT does in fact have a 2.5 in it. He brought it to the Chicago Chapter's Track event at Road America last fall. He claims the engine is...
That`s way too much negative camber on the rear IMO. I`m at 1 degree & have too much inside tire wear, on the GT2 car. The dedion will flex so it will need...

Mike, Nicely presented car. Could I ask what's in the beer keg where the front passenger seat used to be? Is that your oil reservoir? Regards, Anthony....
Hi Michael, How much was shipping? I'm interested myself. Also are planning to lower the center watts linkage mount? I think Joe must have also told you of...
Nope, different effect Zamani, the keeping the centre link vertical stops it from rear-wheel steering due to the centre of the wats link moving on heavily...
