Re: H-I-J '76 Nova re-fit.
I should've made the point that even though we were only a couple tenths under (mostly because funds were limited), as others have said, we enjoyed working on it.
We built for a class that wasn't overly populated in our division, and also built a car that was capable of moving to different classes if the class got faster than our wallet thickness. lol We weren't there to set records, for sure, be we were able to go rounds on occasion. Bottom line: What you both are going through is part of the fun, even though it can be really hard to see at times! Nothing worth while is easy. Cliche', but true. |

Re: H-I-J '76 Nova re-fit.
Todd and Autumn,
Clip / Retainer come out and the pin slid out? What type of circlips were used? At what RPM did the thing come unwound? Bummer for sure.  You guys be tough and hang in there. Adversities makes one tougher, but it surely gets tedious at times.  Regards, HB2  Dissident |

Re: H-I-J '76 Nova re-fit.
Todd,
Did the clip break the end off of one end? What did the end of the pin look like? Such as did it ride on the cylinder wall a bit before it cocked in the piston and jerked in out of shape? An old guy's inquiring mind would like to know. Thanks in advance.Regards, HB2 Dissident |
