Sounds like you're where I was at about ten years ago. I bought an Alpine shell and a Mustang II, along with a toploader and some other pieces, with the intent of putting it all together as a fun-to-

Recently I read of an Alpine owner that re-engined his car with a Toyota 22R (the 2.4 litre SOHC 4-cylinder that comes in all older trucks and Celicas), and he reported the engine/trans fit like the

For what it's worth, it's not on Norm's TAC list. Maybe Kirt Jenssen knows something about this car? From the engine compartment picture, it's got a bunch of Tiger hardware in it, anyway. Theo

If the masses of the trailer and car are carefully tuned (Mr. Murphy, where are you?), you can get some really goofy motion going, since you'll have two semi-independent bodies being bumped around by

The best way to make an under-the-pedal switch work is to mount it above the pedal, so that there is no chance of it interfering with the pedal action. Get one from any Japanese car at your local au

Years ago I fragged an oil pressure switch and bought such a socket to replace it. They are a great thing - for some jobs it just doesn't pay to not have the right tool. Theo

Tod, you're right. All these tachs came from the same place, and all have the same problems - once the capacitors crack or a transistor fails, the tach works poorly or not at all. The replacement cir
