    Repair bearings

    They fit just fine. I put them (actually the Centric 41468000) on my Aspen's 8.25 five years ago, no issues.

    1980 Volare Cop Car

    That looks familiar. This is what I found a couple of years ago when I did my rear end: At least I finally got rid of the clunk in the rear in hard turns. :p

    Miller Tools

    I see, of course I did manage to read it the wrong way. :D I can't help you with the cup size (!) for the lower joint, but I don't remember having any promblems pressing them out. What I do remember is the upper joints. -Soak the threads on the ball joints several days before you attempt to...

    Miller Tools

    Are you shure the upper ball joint is pressed in? Did the front end on my Aspen a few years ago, and it did have threaded style upper ball joint: I ordered the right socket for it, and with a long breaker bar and me ending nose down on the garage floor they eventually cracked loose. I don't...

    The trouble with the FF Torsion bars...

    I have the same annoying issue with my poly pivot bushings, and I think it is a common problem. Sorry to say I've not found any resolution, so I cross my fingers at every MOT inspection hoping the guy doesn't point out the gap between the T-bar and bushing. There was a thread on the site a...

    Throttle Kickdown with Holley Sniper

    Sounds like the linkage is way out of adjusment (too long). If I were you I would connect the rod where it is supposed to be (at the throttle cable) and adjust the linkage down at the transmission. Take a look at this thread with good explanations on how to adjust it and pictures too: Kick...

    Throttle Kickdown with Holley Sniper

    The Holley Throttle Lever Extension is only useful if you're going to use the original kickdown rod setup. If you are going for the Lokar cables I would recommend you fab up something like Aspen500's picture in post #4. My experience (with Lokar) is you should have the kickdown cable move the...

    Hello from Dakota Super Coupes

    I've own mine since 1994 (when I was young and full of hope). You've had yours since new, that's really cool. Got any pictures of them?

    Transmission Line Inlet Radiator

    The rearward line is the return from the cooler, and the front one is the outlet from the tranny (from the oil pump housing).

    My first post and it's a doozy

    I made my own tool for holding the dampener while tightening the bolt. I found a piece of flat iron, drilled two holes and grinded a half moon shape of it to clear the center of the dampener. Then I attached it to the dampener using two of the original bolts and laid a piece of wood between the...

    The trouble with the FF Torsion bars...

    That gap between the bushing and shell looks just like mine. Not the FF setup on mine, I reused the hardware and ordered the bushings from polybushings.com Pictures in this thread from a couple of years back, the guys also discussing a possible solution: Torsion Bar Bushings

    My first post and it's a doozy

    If both sides blinks slow in "on" position I would say that's normal, because the lower voltage makes the flasher work slower. Sounds like you have different wattage between the left and right hand side. Are you sure the bulbs are the same? My Aspen got the usual low alternator voltage at idle...

    Lean Burn Delete...Starter Auto Engage?

    I went with a cheap Lokar style knockoff when I did mine. STAINLESS STEEL THROTTLE, 904 KICK DOWN CABLE AND BRACKET KIT #6054/6055/#6056 | eBay The only thing I didn't like about it was the carb stud bracket, which looked a bit flimsy. The cables and hardware was actually good quality. Used...
