The 510 Realm

Different shops like different measurements. Call your shop and ask how they want the measurement taken.

OP, get your hands on a copy of the How To Hotrod book. All the L16/L18 hot-rodding tips you could want. At least give you a good base. People like Rebello and Troy have taken the game on, but at a cost of cubic dollars.

Digital copy of HtH is up at The 510 Archives.

I see no lie, you did buy a new car.

So...these kits are adapters/CVs/axles. If the CVs are poor and the rest of the bits are in good condition, why not just get some better CVs? They're cheap, compared to getting a whole new kit. Ran the Lobro parts (CVs and boots) with Matt's v1 adapters, no gaskets for the boots, never had grease es...

Definitely drill the mount to accept a 10mm through-bolt for the alternator. The stock 8mm bolt is well known to snap from the loads. The OP appears to be saying that the mount he has takes 10mm bolts to the block, however. I don't recall this being on L20Bs I've had more recently, but then it's bee...

Did the Wilwood setup come from T3 as well, or did you DIY a bracket/rotor swap?

It's where I got my '68 SSS cluster.

But if the issue is grease leaving the joint between CV and boot flange, why throw the CV out for the problem? Better boots may be the cure for what ails you.

Hello Dave, welcome to The Realm. Definitely well-bought. And probably the only CARB-legal 510 in CA. If you could put in your general location in your profile, that'll help us know where you are and where locals might look out for you.

OE CVs don't require yearly service. What brand of CV is Troy supplying? I used Lobro CVs and boots in Whitebird, but I never did the miles Lou does on his car.

If you're putting ten pumps of a grease gun into each CV every year, I'd really, really wonder where all that CV grease is going.

Hello Phil, and welcome to The Realm. If you could put your location in your profile, that'll help us know where you are once you move beyond this thread. Feel free to post up pictures of your fleet!

Hello Bailey, and welcome to The Realm. Let us know if you end up starting another search for a 510. We have a Buyer's Guide and a ton of other information for you. Feel free to post up pictures of your S14, too.

Location, pictures, description, price will be key. 510 market has gone up, up, up in recent years, and good cars bring good money.

Hello Ron, welcome to The Realm. Feel free to put your location in your profile, that'll help us know where you are (though Northern Cal looks a safe bet). And looking forward to pictures of your project!
