Re: Oil Pump Cover

Thanks Kevin for posting the picture. I forgot all about it. I had to deal with my daily driver, which brings home the money.

Oil Pump Cover

I am doing a reseal on a 110 and now that everything is clean I am reassembling the motor. There are a couple of grooves on the edge of the oil pump cover, does it matter which way they are facing?

Re: From Colorado Again

Don't forget to measure your offset. Measure from the front of the spindle to the inside edge of the fender. On your wheels, measure from the back side of the mounting surface to the outside (front) edge of your rim. This will give you your offset of your wheels. Take into consideration the tire ...

Re: From Colorado Again

Yes, it has been done. I had Iroq Z wheels on my 65' Convertible 15 inch wheels. Looks good. I currently have 17" x 9" on rear and 17" x 8" front. Of course you have to think about the tire size to make it fit. I have 245 -40 on rear and 205-40's on front.

Re: Front End Suspension

That is a good deal. I rebuilt my entire front end last summer. I stripped it down, sandblasted everything and repainted. Then Replaced all the bushings and bumpers. I stuck to the original style rubber, but it will wear faster. Not sure about eurathane, but there are some teflon bushings that will ...

Re: EM vs LM Debate

I'm not sure that they're truly more popular, but I'm sure there are a lot more of the LM around, thus skewing the results a bit. ;) Personally, I have no desire for a LM, but love my EM coupe and really want a rampy. Hey, the EM will have it's 50th anniversary soon!! :D I WAS an LM ONLY guy, till ...
