I have an article on babbit bearings somewhere that I will try to find. As I recall there is no problem opening them up to check them. Did you search the net to see if there was anything there? If yo

Air cooled VW's had A/C, they put fan cooled condensers under the car, beside the transaxle. There may be room under the package shelf for such a setup. I have been meaning to look into it, but haven

I don't find any reference that says that you CAN'T inspect babbit bearings the same way you would shell bearings. All the references that I looked at were for babbit that was cast onto shells. Some

It is a crap shoot as to whether to tie the driveshaft off to one side on a 1600, or tow it with the driveshaft in place. I thought about using an old fron u-joint yoke to replace the driveshaft in

Oh, one thing that I forgot to include in my last post is that the alternator will not always put out 60 Amps, just because it is rated at 60 Amps. This was pointed out by others in their replies. Ho

Instead of a bypass fuse to keep your clock, etc maintained when you have the battery disconnected, try a resistor. It will have to be low enough in resistance to allow the clock (or radio presets)
