    Distributor install

    I have found all the parts I need to replace those lost by UPS. Knuckleheads. Anyway I now need to install. Would someone please post simple instruction or a link to simple instructions. I would say I am terrible mechanic but that would be an insult to terrible mechanics everywhere. Thanks

    Distributor and drive dog

    I sent my distributor off to be rebuilt. UPS lost it. In a bad way. So can anyone give me info or a picture of the tach drive at the bottom of the distributor? I need to find another and need to know what I am looking for. Thanks

    Weber manifold and stock headers

    My sIV manifold is thicker than the stock s3 headers on the top outer most screws. Using a short bolt secures the manifold but not the headers. Using the long bolts from the stock s3 setup has the bolts a little at an angle. Is there a fix for this? Thanks.

    Weber question

    Hopefully correct forum. Motor is stock. I’ve asked this before. Anyone running a 38 outlaw carb? I like my 32/36 but find myself nailing it constantly to get the second barrel (which doesn’t open until the very end). Tried sync-link. Never got the 38, I bought on eBay years ago, to idle...

    Rebuild hardtop

    Re-doing a rust free S3-5 hardtop my brother found on Craigslist and gave me. Got the parts from sunbeam specialties. The back corner pads are bigger than the old rotted ones I took off. Actually looks like a better design. The new ones cover the little 3" rail that makes the turn from side to...

    rotors and drums and suspension

    Any sources for new rotors and drums? Have a S3 so I am guessing wilwood's front conversion won't fit. Also the best source for suspension parts. Thanks. This website has the best advice. Jeb

    Iphone bracket

    I know this is not stock - but has anyone found a clip bracket that will hold an Iphone in an Alpine. Don't to want to make any holes - the Alpine will still be around long after the Iphone is forgotten. Just one that will clip on somewhere visible. Thanks

    body part names in English English

    Car body parts, that is. Planning on getting the old car painted and need to get a few pieces. Is there something somewhere that translates American English terminology into English English - or visa versa? Not sure about Canadian and ANZAC English but I am guessing it would be good to know...
