    Speedo needle wobbles?

    There is a Reed switch in the back of the Speedo that sends 4 pulses per cable rotation from memory, this is THE signal Cruise uses to know how fast you're travelling and it the car slows for a hill and needs more throttle.

    7mgte crank question and head stud sizing.

    Arp use imperial sizes for the heads.... While 14mm-9/16th is close 13mm-1/2" isn't I prefer to use the correct size tool for the job.

    OS Giken...

    I got mine dirt cheap used then paid HEAPS for a rebuild :( I'd have a look on e-bay and see if anyone is selling one used then gauge a price by comparing condition. The Discs are 4mm thick when new.

    stupid drive shaft. whats better steal or alumn

    John: Worst case scenario was 4.3 diff and a .68 5th in the Tremec with an engine that would pull 8300 in 5th. I'm not saying a one piece WILL fail just that they can under these circumstances and get a bit tired of people that don't understand the issue shit canning the 2 piece because...
