Yeah, well- you know. Fuel injection, anti-lock brakes, "active park assist", idiot lights on the last few remaining manual transmission cars that tell you when to shift, 'cuz nobody knows... Uh, oh- I feel a rant coming on. I gotta get outta here.:worried2:

Heh, I'll never have that problem... '62 Ford Ranchero w/ Three-On-The-Tree, manual drum brakes, manual steering, manual windows, manual door locks. Safety equipment? Didn't even come with seat belts, I added them myself. Steel dash with a nice edge to it, if I get in a head-on collision they'll just hose what's left of me out and sell it to another old fogie...

Fuel pump and relay, really good oil. I know of 760s with over 750,000 with proof. Mine has been fixed up to do 0-60 in 5.35 seconds. Nice car to go riding in the field with.

If that engine is an interference type engine, then if the t-belt lets go, you are likely to cause a lot of destruction.

It's called maintenance :thumbsup:

It is not an Inerference engine, I had one in a 960 blow a head gasket. Not an easy fix, I sold it, never to buy an I-crap engine again.

Another method I have seen is putting a small grub screw in the hole- the aluminium is fairly soft so it will cut it's own thread.
I put a 6mm bolt and nylock on mine.

"Slapsticks" are a pathetic joke. They are designed for Pinot-sipping soccer moms, and balding middle-aged crisis-laden three-piece executroids, who couldn't drive a stick if their very lives depended on it, to fool themselves and hopefully those around them into believing that they are actually Fittipaldi in between stoplights in Rodeo Drive traffic. :toetap05:
