does anybody have the factory toe-in value? I put in new rod ends and need to re-align.

Where did you find tie rods? One side is supposedly real hard to find. Part #'s also. Thanks

Yes, the left hand threaded was a bit tricky to find. I used my local speed shop that is well connected.
Here are the part numbers:
- Rare Parts ELES342L (25443-1H31)
- Moog ES140R
I could not find them being the same brand of parts both of them. Both are ok and I installed them without probs. The original ones didnt have any noticeable play in them but I also knew that these parts start to be a little hard to find so decided to replace them just to be on the safe side.
I also installed new shocks in the rear (did the front during build). Why I did this now is that rear shocks are also not so easy to find anymore.
The actual reason for me to build the car now during summer is that I had to take down the gearbox because my fancy Centerforce Dual Friction clutch started slipping after run-in period immediately once I started to apply boost. So I bought a McLeod RST Street Twin disc clutch that is advertzed to handle 1500hp or something. Im nowhere even near that number and the previous one was rated at 800hp or so. My ass. Well, anyway, Im installing and dialling in the clutch now so hopefully can get the van back on the streets again during tomorrow or the day after that. And then the painful run-in period of 500 miles again. My rear rear tires start to think Im a sissy
