You gotta heat up the one post and bend it out a bit.thats what I ran on mine. don't use the plastic gaskets that come with it, they are junk.

Well this needs attention....what is everybody running for exhaust manifolds? This feeds into a jetpro pipe

 

[Seandonato73]

Looks like either your gasket is shot, or the coupler is shot or a combination of both. Ddm sells a nice copper reusable header gasket. Run down to napa and get a length of silicone hose just make sure it's high temp stuff. They do tend to crap out after a wile.

Anybody got any suggestions on hinge pins for the front?

 

[Seandonato73]

Always ran the stock ones, normally would tweak an arm before busting a pin.

 

[Ron Young]

Can't even find stock ones online...part # brings up everything but pins on Horizon Hobby ..checked lungsford they don't make them.

Is there a trick to getting the bottom of the shock off the arm?? Screw is out it appears as though the rod end is riding on a cylinder that is attached to both sides of the a arm slot for the shock?? Gotta be an easy way of removal before I break it lol.

 

[Seandonato73]

That's just the ball link in the shock. They are a tight fit. Just jam a screw driver in under the slot and pry it out.
