    clutch wont bleed

    Well its been 4 years and I am finally stumped. Last week my clutch stopped working. Noticed fluid coming from the slave. So I decided to rebuild both the master and slave. Got the kits from SS. Disassembled, bores look great, and did the 15 minute reassemble. Did a bench bleed to make sure...

    Solenoid for OD

    Hi Tom, Continuing on my diagnosis of the OD not engaging. Can you check the solenoid when removed from the car? It is my understand that the solenoid will engage even if the plunger is removed. Is this correct? When you replaced the solenoid, did you just lower the tranny a bit to access...

    Hitachi alternator w/ dual Spal fans

    Guys, As usual great input. I would agree that the alternator output will vary with speed. I would have to see the power curves to determine the actual output. It is a tough nut though. We actually need the maximum fan output at idle. I cant remember ever seeing elevated temps when driving over...

    electric fan installation

    George, I also ended up finding the probe type from Derale. I will not be using the controller. I am going to attempt to run it using the SPAL relays. I will posts some pics of the installation. I am making an asserted effort to be as least invasive as possible.

    electric fan installation

    Hello team, I finally made the decision to convert the SV to electric fans. After my trip to Vegas last month worrying about sitting at idle. I purchased a pair of SPAL 9" pullers. Great kit with all the harnesses. My only obstacle now is what to do for a temp switch. The one I ordered is a...

    Voltage Stabilizer

    Hello Tom, How have you been? Long time no hear. Your PM is full! I was just doing some testing on my voltage stabilizer. At 13.5V input, i never see output higher that 9.5V. I know this is not totally accurate with a digital meter. Have you successfully built a solid state version? Cant the...
