did some mods on the Bonnie

Post by redzmonte »

Needed to do emissions and some overall repairs. She drives NICE AGAIN! New Plugs and wires, Both Front Hubs, Both outer Tie Rods, Both Axles, Front Brakes, Supercharger Coupler, Serp Belt, Blower Belt. After all done it still make some rattling noise and found the harmonic balancer coming apart so i ordered a Dayco/powerbond 8 rib balancer (standard size), 8 rib pulleys and an 8 rib belt and along with a tire balance it is silky smooth again with no belt slip! The belt is TIGHT AS HELL, should have got the Continental 4080715XD insetad.... But runs great and passed emissions with flying colors, couldn't be happier!

Nice! Great upgrades. Nice to get an older car feeling smooth as butter again. Removes its age factor.
