I'm not sure about the two, but they were fixed (non opening) in 89.

Yes, the tubes on the valve covers are also larger.
-
False, you're .010 too much
the 299 is .060 over . the 304 is .093 over

Running a vacuum hose to the intake and flooding the enviroment with clouds of smoke from sucking out the oil is not my general idea of being a good neighbor. One could suck it out with a siphon syringe, but that doesn't get the stuff from the bottom of the sump.

If you are counting rocker shaft "welch plugs" then your count is incorrect.
Your question specifically said "CORE PLUGS"
That is by definition only for CASTINGS.
NOT for sealing up a machined tube. So you can subtract 4 right there.
There are 6 in the sides of the casting, and three in the belhousing area (one behind the other in the distributor hole.)
That makes 9 the Technically correct answer to your specific question.
Don't change the rules to fit what you want it to be mid question.

They even have the Twin Traction clutches in two different grips. Street, or strip.

The output hose. The magnesium impeller is brittle.
It's a pain to change the oil. It runs hot.
-
false, it takes many rpm for the drive to retract. it has to overcome a centrifugal lock to retract

Be sure and tell your body guy the small ones are the front, and also that the thin edge is the top. They do not carry the load of the bumpers, the steel brackets inside the fender do that. Make sure you have all the brackets, or the fiberglass will not hold the bumper.

Not without the disc brake specific spindles. They have a flat machined into them for the caliper adapter bracket.
-
There are two pins also, (and don't forget the lock washer)

The original R12 freon took something like 3 lbs! The envriro safe replacement I use takes about 12 oz.
R 134 takes about 1 lb 10 oz.

Well, let's count......one aluminum ball driver, 5 balls,2 outer races, and one center output shaft . I'd say 9.

They were Stewart-Warner fuel pressure, and oil temperature gauges. Not the paxton faced ones. The scary part is the fuel pressure was plumbed direct reading,with fuel right into the cabin. I remedied that with a fuel pressure isolator hidden inside the pressure box.
I wonder if the Paxton gauges were rebadged Stewart-Warner?
-
But, the R2 had positive crankcase ventilation (PCV) so it would be cleaner as it is forcing the fumes out, not merely venting them.
-
I also have seen the numbers stamped into the frame But they were part identification numbers, and not matching the cars serial number.
-
I have two at the shop.......right next to the Halibrand wheels!

Yes, just about every part on an R3 was red! The oil pan breather tube, the expansion tank block, cylinder heads, pulleys, oil pan, bell housing, supercharger and brackets. Except for the manifolds,chrome, and power steering pump, fuel pump, and starter most everything was red
(of course, the pressure box was unpainted also).

True, if it breaks you're screwed
-
You answered your own question. When the ram hoses are reversed it will do exactly as you describe.
-
Thanks, Ed. I forgot to add that the rear spare tire well was blacked out also as seen from behind.
-
Are you using the same hoses? Remember that the suction hose, (lower one) has to have a spring inside to keep it from collapsing. Is it the correct water pump? some are reverse rotation for newer serpentine belt setups.
-
Aurora it is! i just replaced one, and the paint was $4000 a Gallon. Good thing it only took 2 ounces.

What (outside)door handle did the AVX prototypes use?

I always wanted to make one out of a slab of 'tigers eye'. I used to go to the gem shows in Tuscon.
