    85 -140 speedo swap

    I replaced the 85 mph speedometer with a 140mph version for my 87 LX and now my speedometer reads a little high. We're talking +7 @ 60 mph. Is this a calibration issue with the new unit or something else? Stock tire size and AOD in use. Any suggestions are appreciated.

    Serpentine belt setup for my 351?

    +1 on the March pulleys. It was easy and they look nice with the electric H20 pump but it sure hurt the pocketbook.

    Any tips on troubleshooting gas guage?

    Car has been recently resurrected from the dead. (4 years with no engine) In the mean time I have done the efi to carb conversion and dropped the tank to remove the electric fuel pump. Is there a trick to troubleshooting this circuit? There doesn't seem to be much to it.

    AOD gurus to the rescue please...

    I am installing a new set of transmission lines that I got from inlinetube.com. Is it common to have the fitting completely tight on the tranny side and still have a little play with the aluminum tubing sliding back and forth? It seems that the female fitting on the tranny is deeper than the...

    Thanks for the feedback. It is definitely movingt the linkage when it is shifted, its just that nothing happens. I'm just gonna hold off until my transmission lines come in and see what happens after that. I really don't want to drop the pan again to check it out.
