Misconceptions

[Ron61]

I agree with you 100%. The things that I don't have the room or equipment or actual experience to do I have done by people that know what they are doing and how to do it. I had my Coupe completely gone through by a very knowledgeable and good mechanic and it was then tuned by Robello Racing. I can do most of the regular things but when it came to the tuning and some of the more complicated things I wanted it done correctly as I raced it some and drive it hard. I did get scales and had it corner balanced as well. The few people that we still have around here who have these cars do much the same as I do.

In the 15 months since purchasing my car I've torn apart and re-built a lot of stuff that just made me shake my head, including:

• 1/2 of rear main seal installed backwards
• gas tank rollover valve installed backwards
• valve lash set as if the lifters were solid - and they're hydraulic
• gas tank not properly vented
• emergency flash wire cut under the dash
• brake lights didn't work unless ignition was on
• shifter lever making solid contact with tunnel opening so it wouldn't fully engage 5th gear
• one muffler insert was installed with louvers facing forward, the other facing backward
• etc.

Yikes. All fixed now.[/quote]
