Yea, the converter would help a bunch! Low idle stuff was just a clean up... -Don

Front Rear Control Arms Fixed
Today, the control arms finally came in -- I ordered the ones for the Z/28 -- but I'll show you what they are ;o)
Anyway, if you follow this guide, you'll see what you need to do and use: So, here are the tools I used: Brass BFH:  21mm tools, 10mm wrench, Torque Wrench/Ratched:  Z/28 arms:  Now, notice the part numbers on the arms:  Yep, #'s on the arms are the same for my '11 2SS and the '14 Z/28 -- go figure Anyway, here is the progression: Loosen nut on the joint, and the arm bolt/nut, then wack this area with the BFH:   Now, side by side look and you'll see, she's bent:   Installed and torqued (I did raise the knuckle up so as to simulate load):  Rinse/repeat on the other side (and of course, I had to pound more on that side to get the arm off -- yep figures)... Not bad and fairly quick job -- nice distraction for now ;o) -Don

On jack stands, limited ‘swing’ space ;o). Brass is less destructive to the knuckle. Glad it’s fixed also...
Always something on this money pit... -Don

The castings are the same, the difference is the bushing........

Well, defibrillator/pacemaker was install on Thursday so recovering.
If your curious: Did get to take the car out Wednesday night. Felt solid — still need to tweak the alignment but, holds true and no issues. Hope to get to drive it next week so I can get the alignment done... Gonna be a while until I can race again... -Don
