Thanks Jim, I was guessing that Tweety Bird might be hanging out in the vicinity of the Slave Cylinder since her song seems to be coming from that direction. She did not arrive until around 200 miles

For 9:1 compression on a 1500 motor, you want to replce the US spec dished pistons with the UK spec flat-topped ones. You may still need to mill the head a bit, but this will get you close to the sto

In addition to the bad Head the Ole Lady 3B has a busted motor mount drivers side, rubber separated from the bottom plate. Looks like an Ugly job since there is little room to work under there. Oh w

Darrell, Are the axles hanging down while you are doing this test? If they are, you ought to jack then up and prop something under the uprights so that there is not such an extreme amount of flex. Th

Wow Guys, Now I am down to the Driveshaft. Appears a nonstandard shaft is in place. Although it fits and must have been on a GT6+ OD at some point it is not what should be there. I am told that it ap

Andy, That is the exact problem I have. Plan is to mount a flat TR250 style mirror, driver's side only. I am even going to say that these mirrors were originally put on some GT6's and I have a NOS on
