a SBC 383 stroker and power steering n power brakes? LOL
I'm gonna go on and HiJack again... apologies HSCIC...
Thank you for the confederate Link 60weight,,, reminde me that somewhere in the Barn I'm sure I have that 2 to 1 pipe...also somewhat rare I believe.
I'm gonna go find that and put it back on... we ended up with staggered, crossover's with Very Open Mufflers, at the strip... could use any O.E. Exhaust... and I worked the best...
If I recall... that 2-1 was Not all that bad... but Heavier...and weight counts also...Probably Not gonna beat that old war horse so badly anymore... so ain't lookin for that last tenth...
OK HSCIC... Lets get those Lugs off yer Wheels...By Now you Know what them holes in the Hub at the spoke Flange] are for dontcha!!!

You get to use that hinge on the rear fender. The extra long slot for the axle makes sense when you use the correct tool to loosen the allen bolts.

Already used it to wire the turn signals.

Correct tool?.. what might that be....an allen wrench socket?

Yup, very unusual....allen bolts on the inside with access holes to get them on/off on the other side,,,cool..



Looks easy enough. What is the best way to lock the rear brake? I don't have the locking tool 95875-58. Is tying down the rear brake pedal to the front foot board bolt or the engine guard sufficient?

Gonna just do the rear since the front still has lots of thread. Thanks
