Yes,the old o-ring was in there pretty good. Managed to get it out without scratching the bore. I used the new o ring just because i had one. Thanks. Ross

My transmission was said to have been built by Dave Barnes years ago. I probably haven't put 15k miles since the build ( but yes 20 years) . Noticed a bead of RTV on old filter. Wondering what the purpose was. Also had a drain plug( made changing fluid a snap) and a magnet in the pan. Fluid was...

I bought a similar size pump at tractor supply store( assuming you mean the SMC with the small external pump). They're cheap enough to replace every year. Mine makes 110 psi with two m10 nozzles. be sure to frequently check pressure and prime before every WOT. My pumps actually 3 years old...

FYI, mine does the same... for the last 12 years. Lol. Mines an old build(Dave Barnes, anyone remember him), very mild. From what I can remember... upgraded pump(7vane?), re-stalled d5 (dan Boxdorfer),, hardened something.. etc... Its had a first gear whine since I got it. I remember my...

Mine were widened 1" from stock and I cant remember what stock was. It was all added to the "inside" . Tires gently kiss the frame at times but it hasn't caused any problems.... Been running like this for 15 years. Must say it looks great though.

stock widened wheels here. A massive 8.5"! Running 275/50 DR's( I think)

realize you got yours going but I have some info. My SMC pump started to lose pressure( think its 6 years old, never off the car, tank always full). I found a flo-something pump at Atwoods. Exact same size, same amp draw, same flow, same made in china markings, same internal materials, (...

I have two four post lifts. Don't know how I survived without them. Just do your homework. I bought my first through a company called Superlifts ( although the lift was made by Gemini) and it was a great experience. Superlifts though went OOB. The second I bought direct from Gemini and the...

Good info Nick. What if though, the wideband shows 14-15:1 at idle and off boost , normal driving but the plugs *seem* to be loading up and gas fouling? I dropped compression AND ran a colder plug in anticipation of boosted conditions. Maybe go back to warmer plug and check drivability/plug...

Aaron, Ross here(syclone). It was good talking with you. Really like that car! My wife fell shortly after talking to you and broke her ankle so our Memphis trip was cut short. Overall though, we had a great time. Hope the rest of your trip goes well.
