The Taterhead Posted November 8, 2018 Report Share Posted November 8, 2018 Ed, what is the color code of your ‘70? It looks real close to the original color of my ‘71. Quote Link to comment

You have one cherry looking 2 door there. Edited November 9, 2018 by edekalil Quote Link to comment
The Taterhead Posted November 9, 2018 Report Share Posted November 9, 2018 (edited) Thanks but It no longer looks like that as that is an old picture. As soon as I get my garage organized from moving in last year I’ll start rebuilding it. Edited November 9, 2018 by The Taterhead Quote Link to comment
hang_510 Posted November 9, 2018 Report Share Posted November 9, 2018 Before eaglerock, I added a new drive shaft, replaced half shaft u joints. Hit close to 120 on the way, all scary vibrations gone! also replaced all the clutch hydraulics, (hosestop custom) Had a blast with Shacks510 taking the long way home. Now I gotta work out a hesitation around 3500rpms. MSD or carbs??? Quote Link to comment

TiMopar Posted November 12, 2018 Report Share Posted November 12, 2018 This weekend I removed the old diff and driveshafts from my 510 to swap in an R180 and CV halfshafts. It wasn't quite as easy as described; "Remove driveshafts using a 14mm wrench" and "Unbolt differential securing bolts and nuts and remove from crossmember", made it seem a lot easier than in reality. To anyone who has not done this before, you need to grind the outside circumference and the top of the end of the 14mm wrench to make it narrower, to access the nuts and bolts that hold them to the hubs. Regarding the diff, once all the nuts and bolts are removed, there are two square spacer washers sandwiched between the diff and the bottom of the crossmember on the rearmost pair of vertical bolts through the diff. I drove these forward with a flat bladed screw driver until it alows the diff to be moved forward enough and the rear studs are free of the moustache bar. The moustache bar can then be removed and the diff pulled back and manhandled out. I now need to swap the driveshaft flanges on the new/ old diff and swap over the bolts on the stub axles. 3 Quote Link to comment
jovial_cynic Posted November 13, 2018 Report Share Posted November 13, 2018 I settled in on an LDPerformance boost controller for my turbo. $160 for a fully controllable boost solenoid, with built-in pressure sensor, and ability to modulate the boost on the fly w/ gear or tach signal, or run a set-and-forget boost setting, AND be able to toggle between the two options? Yeah. It's everything I would have designed myself if I felt like taking the time to program it all. 3 Quote Link to comment
jovial_cynic Posted November 13, 2018 Report Share Posted November 13, 2018 I began the process of re-routing some of my exhaust. It hangs pretty low as it has to jump over the janky transmission crossmember I made a while back. So... I'll probably have to fabricate something for that as well... 1 Quote Link to comment

jovial_cynic Posted December 2, 2018 Report Share Posted December 2, 2018 Got the exhaust mostly buttoned up. i still have an exhaust leak somewhere, as I have rich exhaust fumes pouring into the cabin when I'm pushing the engine hard. It's coming up through the transmission tunnel... which needs to also be sealed up. But at least with it open, I can tell that there's an exhaust leak. Next up is trying to decide if I want to get the auxiliary idle valve installed, or if I want to just deal with feathering the idle until it warms up each time. Quote Link to comment

There was no sticker on the front support to the left of there the hood latch is mounted. There was a emissions sticker to the right so I could feel the stamp under so I had to get slick about it. The code is Orange 918 Edited December 2, 2018 by edekalil Quote Link to comment

edekalil Posted December 3, 2018 Report Share Posted December 3, 2018 (edited) Well I found and rounded up all the tools or most to pull the head off the Goon maybe next week. As well found the original gas cap or the one it had when I got her in 88. So I reunited it with her. Edited December 3, 2018 by edekalil 2 Quote Link to comment
