    WANTED: OEM style clutch cable and LTH catless Midpipe

    Appreciate it man. Mine is also a BBK off road midpipe. I'm pretty sure mine is at the manifold to header connection. There's a dent in the flange that I can't rule out as being the source. Everything else seems good to go.

    WANTED: OEM style clutch cable and LTH catless Midpipe

    Could use some help sourcing these parts. I believe my clutch cable is stretched and makes it difficult to engage first and reverse. Also my midpipe has a pretty annoying exhaust leak that I'm tired of listening to. Thanks for any help!

    Pridemore54's Cobra Build

    That's a good point. It was weird to me how how it was just a straight up and down vibration in the steering wheel. Wasn't sure what to make of it. Yeah I wasn't sure if that stretched cable might somehow prevent me from tripping the switch. I need to do some research on those switches and take...

    Pridemore54's Cobra Build

    Current/Winter to-do list: - I am suspecting my clutch cable is stretched and needs replaced. The firewall adjuster and quadrant still aren't doing the trick for my first and reverse gear struggles. I'm also gonna replace tranny fluid soon to see if it helps. The adjuster install was a whole...

    Pridemore54's Cobra Build

    I've been slacking and am a few months behind on updates. I found that one of my top Metco idler pullies had developed slop in the bearing and was likely not helping things with the belt issue. I ended up getting a new 100mm double-bearing pulley as well as the Metco Tensioner Plate. It has...

    2-step doesn't work most of the time

    Roger that, I've got blue loctite and vibratite on hand so I might try one of those.

    The context of your reply tells me these are known for going bad..

    2-step doesn't work most of the time

    So my cobra had the MSD 2-step device installed before I bought it. Since I've owned it I've only gotten it to work twice. I've taken out the module a couple times to adjust the dials and it kind of seems like the dials have been rotating on their own in-between the set points (from engine...

    Clutch quadrant/firewall adjustment- UPR gripe

    I tried putting it on the second hook, there wasn't enough room. It was too tight on the cable to get it back on the clutch fork fingers. I had to go under and take the inspection plate off in order to detach it, attach it on the first quadrant hook, then it only took a little prying to...

    Clutch quadrant/firewall adjustment- UPR gripe

    I thought it also did when it's barely touching or as it engages when it's too loose When I grab it and pull it's already taught, no gap

    Clutch quadrant/firewall adjustment- UPR gripe

    I could use a sanity check here. Just spent today install the UPR firewall adjuster and clutch quadrant. Nothing went well and it didn't fix my issue so far. So my first and reverse don't want to go into gear easily. Goes fine when the car is off. So tell tale sign I needed the new setup. I...

    Good books for tuning, and building/repairing mod engines?

    Need reading material to help kill time between work evolutions. It's a unique job. I mention no electronics to avoid people sending links or articles on the internet.
