uhm . . . . . details? invitation? I've never done one yet, but my 83 is yelling out for a little attention and i'm interested in learning how to do this myself. - I'm just across Mr. Franklin - let me know what you are thinking

I have planned for the parts to be shipped here by Thursday. I plan on also replacing valve covers, and a lot of miscellaneous maintenance. Trader220, I was the cream targa than ran with you and others to Hershey in April....

83911sc, is there anything that you car needs? You will not be able to adjust valves as the car needs to be stone cold...

hmm, as for what else my car needs . . . . . . i could probably just go through the 101 projects and stay busy for a while, but for right now, the plans are:


new brake lines and pads (noticed a small bubble in the rear rubber line, so this just took 1st place priority and figured they should all be done)

valve adjustment

Chain tensioner update

new plugs and rotor

new engine and tranny mounts

rear shift bushing (tunnel and coupler)


I understand that my car has to be cold to do the adjustment, but i'd like to at least catch a glimpse of what the process is so that i can try to do it on my own. Although i read the articles and posts, i'm still a bit gun shy about going "that" deep into the engine compartment.

when are your thinking about doing yours? do you mind someone looking over your shoulder?

I have an Island style tool that I could bring along, depending on when and where.

When the parts arrive, hopefully on Thursday, I'll PM everyone. I'd hate to schedule and not have the parts. I am assured that Thursday is the delivery date....

Will keep folks informed...

Hey the more the merrier...If you have some work to be done (not engine/tranny drop) bring your parts etc. It looks like there will a lot of expertise and assistance. I'm sure I'll need advice also.

Unfortunately I have a car club picnic Saturday afternoon and a car show Saturday night (Perkasie under the Stars).
If you are close I could make it in the morning. Where are you?
