Did you figure out what the handle was for on the other ? Convenience ??

 

No, I looked for one with a handle on that page, and I couldn't find it.

 

Yea, Makuloco had one. Prob just for convenience.

 

He was using his alignment tool to turn it in that video. Is that what you mean by the handle? (The tool on the right in this pic)

 

Here's what that "handle" end does. It aligns the crank to this dowel pin in the block to set the position of the crank at 11 o'clock so it is easier to set up the timing chains, etc.

 

Huh, just a 3v thing ?

 

It works on 2V's too.

 

I was able to keep the baffle as-is. That may have something to do with the 5/16" gaskets.

The PVC fitting worked. It started as a 1"x1" NPT street 90. I softened the threaded areas with a heat gun, then "re-threaded" them using the breather and stock VC filler as "tap" and "die." I had to remove the pipe between the blower and the throttle body and grind down the fitting a bit for room to screw it in. Adding oil will be a bit of a PITA, since I'll need a funnel and tubing, but it'll do for now.

 

Well, today was eventful. I finally got the wiper cowls replaced. Lookimg how good they looked, I went and put in a new shaded windshield, $180 installed. The oldv glass was loose at the center top area. All is good now.

 

Nice work AK. By "shaded windshield", I assume you mean up by the visor?



Me? Oh.... I'm just doing THIS right now..... BLAH. Yep, I bit the bullet and paid the price. My first speeding ticket ever, so....
