Mark and Tim, Thanks for your replies. I believe Richard's membership lapsed, although I know he wants to renew it. His budget is a little tight since...
Good evening, I bought a 1976 vega gt brand new from the gm dealer and I still have that same car. I have the same gm clutch cable for a 5 speed borg warner...
Mike, et al, I have a 76 cosworth vega - I found the stiff clutch problem was due to the routing of the cable. apparently someone at the factory put like an...
For all, A '76 Vega clutch cable is "shorter" than a '76 Cosworth clutch cable, but the Vega cable will work. You don't have to worry about the "S" bend under...

ok, ran some tests. I believe i have 175/60 r13 tires. I will check tomorrow. The odometer reads 1.5 tenths of a mile fast according to mile markers. I drove...
David, Duke is absolutely correct, you need to know a percentage of error. You say the odometer is 1.5 tenths off, but in how many miles? This would be the...
Considering that a 175/60R13 is inappropriate for a Vega, I'd change tires before mucking about with speedo gears. Gary Derian ok, ran some tests. I believe i...
