    Steering lock cylinder "locks "the key

    Hi 71coop ! Good news! I did what you suggested and it worked! The lever down there must have moved a bit during the steering gear maneuver. It was "at 10 o'clock position and I moved it by hand to "12" and after that the key in the lock cylinder was able to be removed. Thank you so much for...

    Tremec TKO 600

    Hi Otto, I am still in the process of considering the swap.... Do you have the code / type number of your TKO 600 ? Any photos to show off the installation ? How much clearance didi you get between the tranny and the tunnel ? We had last week a chance to try a TKO 3550 ( 600 ?) in place...

    Jumpy ride at low revs

    71coop,  thank you of your kind words - I really would not like to change the cam due to the  work involved...I really have to dig into the ignition timing as have been suggested already.... At the end of Sept the car is  going to a dyno test and I will ask to do something for the ignition...

    Jumpy ride at low revs

    HI there,  well....I started now to  get up the idling revs from 700 to 1000 rpm. Actually it smoothens the running  at the idle speed which is ca 10 mph now. I noticed that the gears changed well except the reverse. It was impossible to  engage it when motor was running.It reminded me  of an...

    Jumpy ride at low revs

    Hi Jason, I checked the  lift of the  Comps cam and it is  .667/.664 Maybe  I want to choose the  smaller diameter tyre from Nitto to  get close  to the 26" original size.Also a higher idle cloys to 1000 rpm might help - as I have understood...now the idle is ca 700 rpm. Clutch is  McLeod RST...

    Jumpy ride at low revs

    Good comment ! The main concern  in my driving is standing in a queue with that car - not that much  a parking lot but the behavior is the same. This car certainly not is an everyday car -  and never meant either  - because of that but the original idea was to go for a strip and the  engine...

    Jumpy ride at low revs

    Hi Don, the tires at the back are Nitto 555 275/60-15. Car has adjustable traction bars and shocks at the rear By the way the flywheel is  Aluminium McLeod and the clutch is McLeod  twin disc RST. it just occurred to me  that in case I change the cam to a milder one and the car stops...

    Jumpy ride at low revs

    OK... you got me ! :) either a new milder cam - probably a hydraulic one - or a Tremec TKO 600. Can you roughly describe what would I loose in a quarter mile when going to a 230 @ 0.050" hydraulic cam withe otherwise the same set up.

    Jumpy ride at low revs

    Thanks,  what would happen if I   change the rear end to ... say...1 :3.9 ? Any better  at low revs ? My original idea was  to go with this   present setup to a quarter mile but did not realize that it  ( the aggresive cam) will effect so much to the low speed behavior. I fully agree  with the...

     Hi, I have  a 71 Mach 1 with  Toploaders RUG-AJ gearbox ( originally 1968/69 Fairlane ?). I had an issue once that the gears ( some of them) got jammed and it was impossible to  change gears with the shifter....I had to free them going under the car which was awkward to do on the street -...
