Oh also new fuel line to barrel valve.........
Ug Monday morning Blues...... And the culprit of all this shit............torque converter bolt................
Well got a start on repairs and modifications to flex plate and converter nuts......... and da beat goes on an on an on an on
Hey Carl - how will you know that the faces of these nuts are all at the same depth and correctly centered as compared to the converter centerline? Just wondering how you managed to "true" everything? If it isn't true, can sure cause some issues . . .
yea Dale that will require some precision but i think it is doable will post pics of it all later...............
When I saw the photos of the bolt failure I wondered what you were going to do to keep it from happening again. Now I know. Your abilities never cease to amaze me.
Well got the nutz done now to put it all back together again, first had to make an adapter to mount flex plate to turntable, Then center it all up................. Then after taking numerous measurements to locate all holes exactly viola........... After 8 hrs labor...... Now on to bigger and better things I hope!!!!!! Tis da shits when your an ol fart and cheap...........................
