Re: Deep knocking sound
Good questions and something to consider, but Dkrahn states that the noise is a DEEP loud knock. That tells me he thinks it's coming from down deeper inside the engine, not up top in the cylinder...

Re: Wind Wing installation
Buy a cheap ping pong paddle with the pimply rubber faces. Try for a dark color, or even gray. Peel off one side of the rubber pad and trace the shape of the windwing brackets on the smooth side of...

Re: Steering
I am not a fan of the seven-tooth steering design, but will admit when they are set up properly (and with extra non-factory machine work as Synchro909 states), they can steer nicely and be a pleasure...

Re: Steering
This adjustment will not gain you much in correcting loose steering in a seven-tooth steering box, but you might try it anyway. Jack the front end of the car up, turn the steering wheel to the middle...

Re: Electric Fuel Shut off
Unfortunately, unless you still have an original on/off valve, you can't simply "lap" the stem on repo valves because of their construction. They either hold fuel back or leak and as far as i know,...

If your car has the pop-out ignition switch, you can't install the electronic shut off valve to be operated by the switch. You'd have to possibly run wires to a toggle switch.

Re: New fuel shutoff valve, ball valve filter
Pinch the tube with a pair of pliers to make the tube slightly egg-shaped. Then push the tube into the on/off valve. That interference fit will hold it in place inside the on/off valve. I've done...
