Oldskool 6,582 #178 Posted May 27, 2020 Well come H E double hockey sticks or high water. The GT is getting those tires on. So this is what happens when 14" Chevy ralley wheels meet up with 15in GT wheels. A 1/2" less back space and 2" wider 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Oldskool 6,582 #187 Posted June 9, 2020 I was wondering if a bearing puller with a 3 jaw puller would work. Not sure how the electric clutch comes off either 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Something to do with a correct sized bolt and push/pull against the crankshaft. Pullers do NOT work on some or most electric clutches. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The inside of the electric clutch is threaded, mine on a '70 GT-14 was a 1"-8 NC bolt thread. Run the bolt in against the end of the crank shaft and it will push the clutch off. You cab borrow one from ACE, buy it and then bring it back telling them it was not the correct size. 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mine seems to be the same thread as my puller bolt. I believe that would be Acme thread? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Oldskool 6,582 #193 Posted June 10, 2020 Both clutches are off. The pulleys and set screws are soaking over night in WD-40. Hope to get them off tomorrow after work. Any tips and tricks for those? I assume they are cast iron and really dont want to mess them up Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Oldskool 6,582 #194 Posted June 11, 2020 Well dang. I thought I was making some headway on the GT. Then the old engine hit the floor and broke the pulley. Kinda needed it lol. Now on the hunt for one of those 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Oldskool 6,582 #199 Posted June 14, 2020 I'm thinking of sell some parts from my old blown engine for some funds for the project. Any idea what a 1971 breakerless ignition would go for? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ebinmaine 63,140 #200 Posted June 14, 2020 If you can check the parts with a dvom to verify operation they certainly have a healthy value. Poke around on eBay and that'll give you a decent idea. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
