    Shock type advise

    in Brakes and Suspension Tech

    Posted

    I have the rear lifted 4inches with pucks under springs. So stock shocks are too short & top out frequently. 
     

    anybody know which shocks would be suitable? I’m just learning the metrics & the guys at the Autoparts places I visited were little to no help.

    Howdy! Welcome

    Somebody will chime in with an original air cleaner lead. I think you can buy new ones at places like OPGI and The Parts Place but it sounds like you want to keep it original which is great

    i too have a 70. 
    Glad you found us and that cool ride!

    Did y’all know tire rubber is dyed black by adding carbon black to naturally white rubber?

    Sometimes I can’t remember why I came into the living room but useless information is at the ready!

    Question on this lug?

    in Electrical Tech

    Ok, I got 12 gauge fuselink wire from auto parts store. This wire can self destruct. IT IS THE FUSE, so to speak.

    this was unclear to me so I post that for anyone else seeking the information in the future.

    i cut a piece about 9 inches long & crimped connectors onto both ends. One brass for the battery side and one standard for the threaded stud that is on core behind headlight.

    I have started it several times, with lights on and without lights on. Drove it 40 miles or so and it works without any issues.

    I found this mess changing out my battery….

    So what is supposed to be wired here? (White circle 2nd pic)I have a black wire & red wire on it. The black wire goes to positive post on battery. The red comes from wire bundle that comes out from in front of radiator. (White lines 1st pic) I am thinking the post is a ground that is wired wrong.

    Brew - Did you gain any mpg over running a carb, and if so, how much more?

     

     

    I have no idea. I have never tracked mpg on it.  I know it starts when I turn the key, every time. 
    no pumping the gas pedal etc. 

    Sorry
