Re: AJs 72 Pavement Pounder build

Nice flat black VC's and air cleaner, got a closeup of the DS cowl, back of head. How much clearance is there?

Post up about prop. valve, curious to see how it works out

Nice improvements so far...

Driver's side is tighter than the passenger side. Even with the butchering the PO did to the firewall.

Will put more details up next weekend about the prop valve. From what I've read, most are gutting the factory prop valve and just putting the adjustable one inline on the rear brakes. Essentially what I have to do now, except I already paid $100 for a prop valve from Inline tube that was supposed to take care of this.

Thanks, will wait for your reply. By your answer, I take the PO didn't do a very good job on the cowl, hope I never turn into a PO

Re: AJs 72 Pavement Pounder build

UPDATE 02/07/09: The rest of my bday parts showed up. A friend with access to a waterjet cut some tow hooks for me. There is a serious cool factor about cutting metal with water. He did a killer job on them...no issues with fitment. 3/4" steel



Didn't get anything done on the brakes today cuz I was sick all week. The engine is having some fuel delivery issues too. More updates soon, I hope.
