My house, 10AM.

Anyone who doesn't have plans is invited. JR is bringing his car over to get the tie rods installed and the front end Toe alignment set, and Dagdal1967 is bringing his car over to install the Stainless fuel lines so we can put the FI back on it in a future tech session.


If you want to come, bring chairs and any beverages you may want. I have a fridge to put them in.



RSVP me and I will send you the address and directions.

Yes, you can come over, but you have to bring Travis with you... and his 914.

JR left around 1, and Doug and Travis Howard just left.

We got the outer tie rods changed on JR's car, and we put in the stainless lines on Doug's car.

JR's car needs new inner tie rod ends.. I suggested turbo tie rods. He is going to get them and we can do this again soon.


Doug's car was easier than expected. Chris Foley's fuel line kit is top notch, and it only took us about 30 minutes to actually install the lines, and we did it twice. We got them in backwards the first time, so we pulled them back out and reinstalled them correctly. Of course this was on my lift, and with 3 people, but we didn't pull the engine.


In a couple of weeks, we will reconvene here and remove the 2bbl weber from Doug's car and reinstall the L-Jet injection.

Stay tuned, we will post the date and time to do this. And we can make it a (IMG:style_emoticons/default/jsharp.gif) .

Clay: The wife had a bunch of stuff I "supposedly" had said I'd do. But let me know when you are getting together again. Maybe we could put on my new Crane XR3000 system. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif)

Big thanks to Clay and Betty for doing this. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif) The Tie Rod Ends definitely improved the handling of my car.

Did a quick internet search for Turbo Tie Rods and couldn't find any that didn't include the "Ends" that we just installed. Not sure where to go next for this one. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

Grelber, I can definitely help with the Crane Ignition.

ps: Thanks for the Calendar!!
psps: I got the Maverick Region worksheet to work too!!!

I bought mine from Zims. They came with the ends and they cost $111.00. The only thing I didn't like is the nut on the tie-rod end is just a nylon insert lock nut. It's not a castle-nut and the bolt doesn't have a hole for a cotter pin. It's still working great on my 74 and the boots have not fallen apart like many other kits do.
