Re: Manual trans Linkage Adjustment

Cibie Headlights

Any issue with using Cibie (H4) headlights on my 66 Monza?

For example, would these cause any over heating of wires/connectors, or possibly other stir up any electrical gemlins by using these?

Steering Wheel - Will not come off

My question is how much effort is need to remove the steering wheel. I would think not much but my 66 Coupe wheel seems to be welded on, or I'm doing some thing terribly wrong. Yes, I'm using a proper wheel puller, and shot some WD-40 around the threads, but even using a breaker bar, the bolts are a...

You're saying...
