    Trouble with starter

    While retiming my engine I set it improperly and when I went to start the engine it kicked back and misfired. After setting the timing properly, I went to start it and the starter sounded terrible, although it turned the engine over. I removed the starter and found that the Bendix spring had...

    6 volt air/fuel ratio kit

    Has anyone heard of or can tell me where to find a 6 volt air/fuel sensor kit? Would need a 6 volt 02 sensor and guage. If not is there a way to monitor air/fuel ratio without this setup?

    V8 Clutch conversion drawings

    Does anyone have a PDF that I can give to my machine shop for them to properly locate the V8 clutch holes to drill them on the lightened flywheel? Lighten flywheel drawings would also be good to have.
