Took apart the rear subframe this week to finally rehab it. While searching for info here, I found a post I made in 2010 about the parts I was accumulating to redo the rear subframe ?. 

 

Went to buy new M12 and M14 nuts (1.5 pitch) for the rear connections - they had the option of Nylocks but I declined because I wasn't sure if would be able to withstand the heat. Any benefit to using nylocks vs traditional locking nuts for the trailing arm/diff connections?

 

EDIT: Doh, I ordered the wrong ones, should be M10 and M12 x1.5. Oh well

Very interesting. Oh well, ive gone three years without killing my AF sensor, so i guess ill continue to risk it.

Ive got quite a bit of tuning I'll probably be doing. I can easily remove just the sensor and install the plug if I get to a finishing point. However, EFI and speeduino is in the future so it may be the base of the system.

Just put a switch on the power wire to turn the whole system off. That is what i did. Once your car is tuned, you will not want the AFR running all the time, it will just annoy you.

I have some small electronics I may take apart and steal a switch from. I was going to put a switch off the power to the digital display only, but may put it in the main power line. Again, I'll probably leave it on most all the time

Moved it out of the garage so I could do a transmission fluid change on my truck

Wasn’t today but I wanted to try my hand at sign painting. My friend owns a Tiki bar and I painted his logo on my airdam.

Worked on my gas smell in the trunk. Replaced some of the fuel line and added a proper check valve.

Their was just a coupler that wasn't the correct size so I was pretty hopeful that was my source, But Nooooo

I still have a mild smell.  The rubber fuel neck has a couple of very fine hairline cracks but at $80. I was hoping thats not it.

I plan to replace that and the gasket just to be safe.  After that I think I'm pulling a gas tank.

The smell is definitely from the fill corner. I did get in my trunk and smash my face every where around the tank.

 

New check valve  with correct 3/8 and 5/16 barbs.

Freshly built motor for my 71' with my new valve cover. I hope in a few weeks this thing will be back on the road sporting the new BBS wheels (not pictured) that i bought.

Had tires mounted on the Campys and installed them today.  Fritz is a whole new car!  I love how plush the ride is compared to the 195/50-15s I had before.  It's a much more "vintage" ride as well.  The sidewalls flex in hard corners and they complain while doing it.  I love driving it even more now!  These are the 13x6 et12.8 (E21 fitment).  No rubbing at all on twisty or bumpy roads.  Not even in slow corners where the 15s would rub slightly.  I'm in love ?

This,  well done. You have good taste Sir.

I replaced the home made inspection plate on one of my Weber sidedrafts  carbs. Correct screws also.

No more leak even with that big hole in the center.  Ordered new fuel filler neck and gasket for the fuel tank.
