    Which Rear Axle Bearings and Seals?

    I need to replace the rear axle bearings on my 9" and I see that there are a couple of sizes/styles of bearings and seals out there. What am I looking for on my 73 so I can make sure I've got the right parts ordered ahead of time? Thanks!!

    Loctite on curb idle screw

    I just had to come back and say that as silly as this sounds, putting the Vibra Tite vc-3 on the idle screw is one of the best things I've done to that carb. After quite a bit of driving, my idle stays right were it needs to be, and the throttle response is always exactly where I expect it to be...

    In my opinion, the body and the VIN are worth that.

    Loctite on curb idle screw

    The Vibra Tite vc-3 stuff worked great. After it was "dry" I reset the screw to the proper spot, got the idle exactly where I wanted it. Then gave the throttle about 15 or 20 quick hits with my thumb letting it slap back on the screw each time and the idle never even moved 10rpm off my setting...

    Loctite on curb idle screw

    I like this. I'll stretch the spring, but will probably add this also. Love aviation approved stuff. Always works great.

    Loctite on curb idle screw

    That's interesting considering we're both running the QF735.

    Loctite on curb idle screw

    Jam nut is a good idea. Spring is there. Just not creating enough pressure to keep the screw from backing out.

    Loctite on curb idle screw

    My curb idle screw keeps backing off when driving. Aside from lower than optimal idle, it also gets my adjustment to my acc pump linkage out of whack. I'm thinking of putting a drop of the non-permanent Locktite on the screw once I get it reset, but before I do I was wondering if anyone else had...

    Am I the only one that strongly dislikes these fender emblems?

    Hi Fabrice. Thanks! They are aluminum. Cut and routed on a CNC. 1/8" thick to match thickness of original emblems. Same overall height and width also.

    Am I the only one that strongly dislikes these fender emblems?

    I ended up coloring these as well, and now really love them.

    Super high Idle speed?

    What's it drop to when put in gear? I'd be curious to know your base timing also since it's a new to you car, but you need to get that rpm down to about 800 first.
