slc_hillshooter Posted August 5, 2008 Report Share Posted August 5, 2008 what do i do with the little brass tit sticking out below the water pump? is it ok to plug it? I have plugged them but its a vent line. Usually it runs about two feet up the frame rail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_Hex* Posted August 6, 2008 Report Share Posted August 6, 2008 no need just run same amount its only a small area that increases minimal at most run in between 1-5/8 to 1-3/4 no need to overdo it, if you have a cast lockup from direct drive with the six bolt side cover, after it settles it should be on the second bolt up on the left (the oil level) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why under-do it when a little extra won't hurt a thing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rb0804 Posted August 6, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 6, 2008 has anyone had to add weight to there lockup to get it to lock fully? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbooker82 Posted August 6, 2008 Report Share Posted August 6, 2008 I run 6 stock clutch springs, with the stock direct drive weights and havent had a problem. I like how the 6 oem springs let it slip out of the hole. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like how the 6 oem springs let it slip out of the hole. are you running on asphalt? do you have an override? whats your gearing? i am 17/41 with 3/3 on the springs and it bogged at the race track. but i dont think i left as hard as i could have either. i may try the 6 stock springs down the road.

Stock swing arm 14/41 20X10X10 9 paddle extreems. Modds in my sig. No override. You might try all stock spings maybe it will help keep the R's up on the launch especialy with that tall gearing.

rb0804 Posted August 8, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 8, 2008 i am going to try the other tires first, they are smaller in diameter and if it still bogs i am going to try the lighter springs. hopefully ill get a chance to try it tomorrow.
