yes, by turning the pins to the flats instead of the round, the motor will sit lower. with mine on the round (default setting) part, the motor did sit higher than the stock mounts but mine were trashed and broken so theres no telling if it sits higher than it did new from the factory. I have no...

My HR mounts came stock with the pins on the round part while sitting on the frame. I think the instructions say to leave it this way unless something doesn't fit, then turn the pins to the flat part, which lowers the motor.

the Lokar dipstick is adjustable but mine read full with 5 quarts out the package. had it not been right I would put 5 quarts in and adjusted the dipstick to read full.

I was removing the driver-side header and while I was unscrewing the nut that attaches the dipstick tube bracket to the header, it was seized/rusted on and broke off. I now needed a new dipstick tube. I did some research and supposedly the Lokar LS1 dipstick works for our cars. I bought the...

for anybody who is trying to figure this out in the future, there is a hole inside your inner fender. inside that hole is a metal tab with a slot. 2 bolts go through the slot and screws into the fixed antenna bracket that you insert through the outer fender (pictured above). you'll need to...

how do you attach the one oval conduit bracket after the shield is removed?

VS50156T are the best valve cover gaskets. not sure why anybody would use single use cork gaskets anymore.

they do not as the original radio/deck only had 2 bolts holding it in which is what I was expecting for this new set-up as well. I bought the reproduction version of the brackets in the video so we'll see once they come in.

I've swapped them from left-to-right, top-to- bottom, and even tried installing with the "TOP" of the kit on the bottom and the most I could get lined up was still 1 hole. I saw an install video on YouTube and the factory brackets are different from mine which seems to be the problem? not...

Hello, Can somebody tell me what I am doing wrong? I can't seem to get more than one bolt hole lined up to install my new radio/deck. I am using a American International CGM-123 Dash Kit and with the factory brackets bolted on, only one of the bolt holes seem to align with the dash. Is this the...

ah that makes sense now i guess. since the hardware is stainless, they require some sort of compound on the threads thus changing the factory torque spec. since those are presumably dry.

not sure why the kit says not to exceed 20 ft. lbs. for hardware on the engine that calls for more than that https://rjcracing.com/product/arp-bolt-kits/

you need to throw that junk stainless hardware out and get the stainless ARP's from RJC Racing that are nearly as strong as Grade 8
