New ERA- Need Some guidance! Chassis #347

[66AC]

I have #375. Built in 1992/3. Very dependable. However, let's admit that the car is 25 years old and certain parts are worthy of scrutiny.

On #375 here are the items that I did check (C) and or replace (R) over the last 2 years....

Rear Brake Cylinders and Pads (R) and Parking Brake Pad (R)
Front Brake Pads (C)
Clutch Master Cylinder and Slave (R)
Clutch and Throw out Bearing (R)
Rear End Seal on input shaft. (R) and rear end Lube (R)
Water Pump and all rubber hoses. (R)
Starter Switch. (R)
Front and Rear Brake Master Cylinders. (C)
Battery and all cables. (C & R)
Brake Fluids (R)
Coolant (R)
Alignment (C)

So essentially I suggest you check every part and every connector.
The car will speak to you and eventually let you know what it needs.
Check your DOT codes, your tires may be Very Old even though not worn out.

It is a fairly simple and dependable auto. ERA has designed it rather well.

Sounds about right based on my experience as well. May I ask how many miles you have on #375?

About 39,000. Just refreshed the engine. Seems to be running great. Went with roller cam and rockers and the engine response to the throttle is near instantaneous. Took out the old RAM drag racing 3 paddle centrifugal clutch and replaced it with a Centerforce. Wow what a remarkable difference. Smooth, no judder. Should have done this a LONG time ago. Drives like a totally different car now. Smooth is all I can say.
