    Overdrive Wiring ect.

    Hi all, Some time ago I replaced the defective transmission on my SV with an overdrive unit I purchased along with an entirely disassembled car. Being as I am in rewiring mode I thought I would consider getting the OD unit operational. When I purchased the vehicle I asked the PO if the OD unit...

    Tach Problem

    Hi all, My latest and hopefully nearly last re-wiring issue is the tach on my S-V. I originally thought the induction coil loop fittings had gone missing and tried to fab a new one but with no success. As luck would have it, I found both the plastic holder and the metal clip. After checking...

    Fuel and Temp Gauge Wiring

    Hi All, Just trying to finish my forever SV rewiring project. The wiring for the temp and fuel gauges seem straight forward but maybe not as obvious as I thought. Both gauges have 2 connectors with no indication which would be power and which would be sensor. I haven't been able to get the...

    Carb Issue

    Hi all, I have been having trouble with the engine losing power under load. For some tie I thought it was an electrical issue but that all sees to check out OK. What I have discovered is that as gas is fed to the carburetors, the front carb has significantly less vacuum than the rear. This...

    Cross Tube Bushings

    Hi all, My cross tube bushings appear to be worn out. I have a new set from SS, but it seems that this is a more complicated puzzle to solve than originally thought. I have the bolts off, but getting the tube off seems to be a problem, and re-installing it would seem more difficult. Tips...

    GT Dash Material

    Hi All, A friend is going to make me a GT style dash as part of my SV rewiring project. It has been a while since I have seen one, but am I correct in saying the proper veneer material is a burled walnut? Has anyone tried anything else? Buddy is thinking Birds Eye Maple, or something...

    Drive Shaft Length

    Hi all, I changed out the transmission in my SV to an OD but it mates up with an older Capri rear end so the regular drive shaft is to long, and the OD driveshaft is to short, and doesn't match the bolt pattern. So my plan is the get the non-OD shaft shortened. Question is, How much play...

    Overdrive Tranny Install

    Hi All, After some looking, I have what I think may be a suitable transmission to put in my SV. I believe it is a later synchro OD model. I am assuming this as the reverse is down to the right. First thing is. Is it possible to install without esentially pulling the engine. When we removed...

    Transmission fill / check plug

    Hi all, I purchased another Alpine at an auction a couple weeks ago. Have been going over the car looking for the usual suspect deficiancies. The major concern is a very noisy first gear. I figure that checking the transmission fluid level might be a good thing as I know the car had rarely...

    SV Transmission Removal

    Hi All, SV transmission pops out out gear in 2nd, and is making unpleasant noise in 1-3. WSM says I need to lift the engine ect to remove it. With the car sitting over a 5 ft pit, I cannot see the reason for the extra work. It looks like it should drop out after moving exhaust and a few other...
