Default Wrong again Max

madmaxx Max you are wrong again the Viper motor is 8.4 liters, 510 cubic inches and this is a production car. Even bigger are Fait motor1911 and 1912 Mercedes Benz was some where in the 12 liter range. Nice try. I am old but the fart smell is on you. Rick L. Ps I guess you missed a couple of days of school. It happens

There is a warranty. But for the time it takes me to take it apart, send it down to FL, then reassemble it, I can do it in my garage much quicker. Reg and BDR have been nothing but helpful and am just looking for some guidance on "how to" :

Default Back to the drawing board

Spend a good deal of time yesterday grinding down the "nub" on the drivers side with a Dremel tool, tie wrapped it as suggested by BDR (they said a tie wrap or conventional boot strap would work), and the *&@# thing popped off again:

As Bill said, there must other places where the strap is hitting that is knocking it off. I'm starting to get a bit frustrated now

Looks like the e-brake cable is knocking it off. Now what??? Suggestions??

I guess I should have said largest motor to date, vipers were not around in 72. 1911 1912 mercedes hardly a production car. I hope your viper engine is not a dog like my cadillacs, what a dead assssss, but it was front wheel drive.
