You heard him he wants to hit every track in california. I was just watching along when he mentioned being in Lompoc and it blew me away because I have only heard that name mentioned may be once in the 50 years Ive been away from good ole Lompoc which was a lot like the movie American Gravity back in my day . There was a hand full or two of some nice rides and rods. Cruisin was about all there was other than your sports teams , And the weekend hops at the Legion. Sadly no dragstrip the nearest was in Santa Maria some (Im guessing) what 40 50 miles away. Was not a bad place to live and go to school though, I have some great memories and a few friends left out there and here I am now returning there with my favorite online friends. How about that!!!

My first car was '56 Belaire 2dr sedan. Brings back many good memories. Started with a 235 inline six and stuck in a set of solid lifters on the stock cam. Running the old 3 speed and 3.70 rear gears It would run low 16s all day. Later went to 301 and then 327 but just drove it on the street then. Can't remember how many synchronizers and spider gears I destroyed. Would do it all over again!

I hope you guys had lunch or dinner at the Samoa Cookhouse. I'm assuming that it still has good food, but it's been many years since I've eaten there. I always thought that I'd be able to run my '67 Camaro at Samoa, but it never happened.

David, I raced 55 Chevy back in the late 80's, at Hawaii Raceway Park. All I had was a 327 a mincie 4 speed a gigantic 55 Oldsmobile rear end with 410 gears welded spiders and Axle front end. I'd launch off the line at 6000 rpm. Believe me, you will test your parts, but I ran mid to low 10s. You gotta work up the nerve to pound the gears...balls to the walls.

One thing about those bronze puck type clutch disks it really helps if you seat them in before you go to the track otherwise they just don't work that well, also definitely had that same problem like you guys with the throw out bearing. Yeah it definitely blows chunks when that happens at the track😢

@mmike76 5 ай бұрын

You need to mic the bell housing to make sure its square with the block and centered with the transmission, any thing that is out of line will toast that throw out bearing. That is their Achilles heel.

i'm sure they're rushed for time and on whoever's schedule that hands them free parts...but...you got the car on a lift, tools a'plenty, and when faced with a driveshaft yoke that is obviously ready to go (and may damage the transmission as well), the plan is to ignore the problem and fix it at a more inconvenient time and location? i hear my late father's voice warning, "the best way to solve any problem is to not allow it to happen in the first place". the funny part is how often Roadkill had to insist, "we don't make up the drama"

The are not worth the trouble and a headache to replace. The best is a mechanical/cable fork setup 2nd best is an externally mounted slave that actuates the fork. Those two options are much easier to fix if something goes wrong.

My question is ; where did ya go wrong with the first throw out bearing ? Did you have the wrong number of shims , or got the wrong measurement the first time, or is that bearing prone to hyper extension ?

@perryneum 5 ай бұрын

Wrong bearing, somehow. Whoever did the measuring either got their numbers wrong, or overestimated the bearing's capacity for extension.
