Paul, I'm Sorry I put through any trouble. I guess I mis understood. I thought you had already sold it, because i didn't get back with you right away.  Anyway, a freind might have one that's supposed to be like brand new. Seeing is believing! I guess i'll see.  If not I'll get back with you.  Thanks for your trouble, Vernon

Maintenance / Re: new clutch fades when hot !

« on: March 01, 2009, 01:12:38 PM »

Well, Thanks for having me in the club! New guy here!  Yea, this clutch has been a my thorn in my side, I'm hearing what everyone is saying, and i'll need to go back to the drawing board.  I'll check free play with the pedal fully up, then press down to see when I feel pressure.  I made need to adjust the rod some more, the new clutch sure feels great , I was just alittle puzzled, after driving. Something definitly changes after it's hot!  Thanks everone for the input i'll let you know what I do to fix this problem. As soon as THE SNOW STOPS!!!!!

Maintenance / new clutch fades when hot !

I have a slight problem with my 4-speed. When the car is cold my clutch works fine. Free play is about 2- inches from the floor. But after a good long drive, When I try to back up it grinds. Most of the time I shut the car off, then put the trans in reverse, Then restart the car. Happens rvery time!  Any suggestions!

Thats ok! Trying to find the motor that came out of my car is nearly impossible.
The motor I have, came from a 69. for right now the DZ will have to do. I have ran into some people who claim to have an MO motor, When I ask, what are you going to do with it? They don't know!  By the way Carolina Machine Engine, Balanced and blue printed my eng. This 302 Run Great!! Talk at ya later

I found that the gasket, is only part of your problem..
You need to use a slight bit of sealer were the lens meets the metal housing.
I went down this road before, I took the entire housing off and filled it with water were the bulbs would nomaly go, only to watch the water to run run out.
Look very carefully at were it us leaking you will be suprised.
