I am going through my Bumblebee system by system. The front suspension is close to finished. The motor is out to chase down some minor leaks, redo the RMS and trans output shaft seal and inspect the clutch components. I'll also be adding a 123 distributor, refreshed injectors, Bowlsby harnesses, Foley SS fuel lines, new soft fuel lines and vacuum lines, valve adjust, etc.
My question is about the CV joints. The grease looks like crap. One side was missing a gasket, several bolts were loose. I am leaning toward buying the replacement CV joints from PMB. Has anyone installed these? I'd like to keep these axles and go through them to learn, inspect and possibly use them on my 1970. What would you do? https://pmbperformance.com/products/porsche...ro-cv-joint-kit |

Old parts are high mileage and show it. |
