a balance tube question for Weber ICT's & why NOT to go to Halsey Imports...

[CatBox]

Sweet, it is good to know the auto starter clears! The starter I have now is a high-torque one that only has as many miles as the motor, about 500. I might just sell it/swap it,at the bug in and pick up an auto. How much do they run?

I was not clear when I wrote that.
I have the standard starter at the moment!!!!
It is tight in there.
If the autostick starter is bigger I don't think it will fit.

But you say you have a high torque starter.
Is it aftermarket?
If so it might fit in there....

Sorry for the confusion.

Laugh out loud, dang, so the internets lore is true after all. Looks like Ill just need a new bushing then. Im not sure what model the starter is, seemed brand new and not rebuilt so I am guessing aftermarket. It came with the motor, and the guy I got the motor from didn't skimp on brands of parts. It spins really strong, just wont engage the flywheel... and of course (after this string of beautiful weather, when I get the gumption to want to pull the muffler, jack the car and get that starter out to inspect the bushing IT RAINS

The rain that some experianced on Sunday.
Markie said it rained like a mofo on his way to my house.

After talking to Redline back and forth a few more times, I went ahead and ordered a snail gauge sync, a ICT "weber jetpac", and  new Weber hexbar (It was either that or grind the welds off, smooth the crappy round bar and arms, tune and re-weld...) So either I can figure out the issue this week or re-do evrything next week with the IRS install and retortioning of the rear. I also just ordered a moore mid-mount and urethane tranny mounts. =) i cant wait for august...

Yeah it was a wet morning in NE... Dried up in the afternoon but looked threatening enough that I didnt want to roll around in our parking lot...   Hopefully I can get her back on jacks this weekend...

Redline stuff was shipped overnight (linkage, jetpac, sync tool and ICT adaptor all at cost including shipping!  I got my moore mid mount in the mail yesterday... I cant wait for my Scat order to arrive with the Pro-Street, sump plate, and urethane mounts. I'm just waiting 'till they get it from Rancho. Probably wont be stalking the UPS man till next week or the next...

and urethane mounts.

I have a set of these on my tranny.
So far I have only read BAD things about them.
I am going to run them with the 1600 that I am putting in temporarily while the big engine is finished.
After that I am going to swap them out to the heavy duty GREY bus type tranny mounts.
That seems to be what the high performance crowd are running these days.

They are only $8-ish each from DIP.
I just ordered mine the other day....

[coolblue57bug]

You are, how do I put this, not going to  like the urethane mounts. May as well just put in a solid mount. I think it wouldn't be much more of a harsh ride. Stick with Peters advise. You will thank yourself in the future, and so will your kidneys.

[VeeDubYa]

hmm. That is good for thought, I had urethane mounts in my v6 Mazda6 and it was loud but not too bad. The motor in this thing is pretty loud in its own right, Bus ones fit huh? What about the nosecone mount? Ill have to change my order asap

[VeeDubYa]

Whats your guys opinion on those yellow CB rhino trio?

[VeeDubYa]

I ordered the black 70 durometer ones from scat, not the red empi ones, I don't know if it makes a difference, I have read bad things about the red ones, I want the firmness of urethane to keep the tranny and motor from torquing. I know that if you over torque them while installing or hit them with any kind of oil they will split. But I figure a good coat of white lithium now and again should keep em up nice. After i get her up running and save up a bit more...( )  I plan on adding a Kafer bar. I just wish the simple motor bar/traction bar would fit with the CB maxi-filter setup...

[CatBox]

I have the red ones from Bugpack in my car.
You could always install one of the tranny strap kits until you get the Kafer bar.
I have one as well as the Kafer bar on my car.
It is not up and running just yet so I cannot tell you how it acts just yet....
...but it is better than nothing, plus you can attach your Kafer down bars to it for one stiff set up.
