ok
see where i work we sell bearings and all listings back into the 60's
depending on what year shows 84-85 use a-32 and are called fb
86 - 89 use a-32 as well and called fc
so what ever i get i will need to wait and see what they are .
i'm really not a fan of the hei distrib i have . the way the wires are bothers me so today i bought on line a msd coil, 6al box and a normal distrib.
charged 38% conversion from us funds to canadian
this has to be the last i buy from us suppliers
it sucks as nowhere in canada to find some of the needed parts
so not sure where this puts me in my build
but it looks dim on this summer to finish

I sent that same POS distributor back too, too large overall and made contact with the blower, among other things.
However if you can I'd cancel the order for the MSD stuff, they're called May Suddenly Die products for a reason. I went through 6 in a year with BS song and dance from them until I switched over to Crane and never looked back.
I ran this same one in my supercharged mustang for 6 years, sent it back once to have it looked at chasing down a random misfire that turned out to be the distributor and Fast(owns crane now) serviced it for free, with return shipping

guys i got a few more parts in
if you see in the pic the tall valve cover are close to the heater barbs so i got 2 of a gates #28467 heat bent 90 deg 5/8 hose
these are 15/16 od and very soft hose. i plan to remove the cover cut down the 90 to length need and put the cover back on.
anyone know if 90 on the heater core is a bad thing?
wow guys the hubs arrived and i was floored . they are aluminum and look like they were made last week
i mean **** they are as new clean as can be
today i am going lay a weld bead on the races to remove them
when i'am ready i will show all related parts needed with sizes
Andrew no these are from a member in la
With me here in Canada and bad winter's we are not used to clean cars or parts
These are from a 91 and I had no idea they were made from aluminum
All I saw was from Atkins rotary at $600 ea
So when I opened the box I was floored
Just waiting on the spacer for the inner bearings . I have ordered a 3 inch round billet to turn
I decided to use the a32 bearing inner and the race is 58mm the inner for the hub is a19 or 63mm
So 63 to 58 I need
Soon as all parts and bearings are here I will post all pics with sizes and bearing numbers as a complete how to
finally made some progress with the hub related parts
we are having a winter from hell 5 storms in a row all over 50cm each
if any one is thinking about doing this 5 lub swap here is what you need
in my case i am using stock 80 spindles
these need inner bearing a-32 kit outer bearing lm11749. a-32 is 28mm and lm11749 is 18mm
the hubs are from a 91 rx7 and use a inner jlm69349 bearing and a outer 32204 bearing
the jlm69349 is 38 mm and the 32204 is 20mm
the busings need to be made from the 91 bearings to fit the 80 spindles
so a 38mm od with 28mm id spacer for the inner and a 20mm od with 18mm id for the outer
for a seal you need a 40mm x 63mm x 7mm
40mm to fit the spindle and 63 mm to fit the hub
you can see by the pic of the hubs how clean they are, i was floored when i opened the box to see them
since the car is buried under snow it will be some time before i fit them on the car
i will then need to fab some caliper brackets
\
everyone i feel i should explain why i have not updated any progress on my build
it all started last year see my parents live with my wife and i for the last 15 or so years
ironic as this is a year to the date my father passed away here at home
he had bought life insurance when he was young but 50 years ago $10.000 was a lot
it took aprox $17.860 to complete all his final things
bural plots was another $2000
headstone $4800
cost me aprox $16.000
so my project needed to wait a little
last 2 winters were the worest i have seen. snow last year was so much it broke both door mirrors off the doors
so a real good life lesson here for all you dads out there don't do this to your children make damn sure you have enough life insurance
and don't put it off thinking you have time
time gets away from us all
sorry guys now you know
time for a much happier update
today for the first time this year i got a chance to do some long over due work.it was expected to rain today but sunny and hot breaks let me test fit the hubs
the only problem i ran into was my inner bearing spacers , just a tick too small. so just light pass with a die grinder too open them out a bit and went right on.
brought a smile to my face
ordered today some steel d rims 15 x 8 in 5x 4.5 pattern and 3.5 backspace . i hope to go with a 215/60/15 front.
this sould put the inside bead at the same place as stock so turning will be stock as well.
just need to see how much the outer hangs as flares may be needed.

Nice! I ran a 15x7 with 4 in backspace and had to use a 10mm spacer to clear the TurboII calipers, because the d window wheels are not concave enough, I did not need flares with that setup. With more negative offset you may need some flares, but might be able to get away with a good pull and roll of the fender. It will look great either way.
Rims are on for Thursday delivery and that will give me time to get tires mounted before weekend. this has been on my mind since I got the hubs in the winter. I really want to see how it looks and how tires will fit. with the same flares you use is it possible to mount without cutting the fenders?

you may be able to get away without cutting or cutting much less than I did
tracking shows tomorrow by 9am and I got my local tire shop to get me 2 x 215/60/15 they are in now i can't wait to see this huge progress. the brakes are not even in the works yet. I have stoptech 12.7" rotors but I don't think they will fit in 15" rim but we will see. i just bought some mustang vented rotors these are said to be 11" and coupled with the jdm rx7 4 piston calipers will fit perfectly i am not concerned about brackets for calipers as seems to be 3/4" spacing outward on the calipers to fit were the rotors live i do have some aluminum plate in 3/4" this should work nicely
you are 100 percent correct andrew
sorry for my typo i meant 215/50/15 these are 24.2 inch tall 60 series is 26
rims arrived today and i was not expecting much from a $90 steel rim but these are pretty good looking on a silver car
Those look great! I would even try to put a 205 50 15 on there or a 195. with the stretch just a roll and pull may be required
Andrew I had a change of thought,I see your front was 15x7 so I checked for that and found crager 3425712 very close d window at summit.
Sticker shock wow. List at ,$66 us each after shipping and change of currency $328 Canadian
So I checked today and found 93-09 Ford ranger uses 15x6 5x4.5
So I bought 2 from my local Ford dealer and should be here in a week
I will keep theses 15x8 for the rear as a 265/50/15 fits a 8" rim
A 175/70/15 will fit the ranger front rims
for a prostock look
we will see
Another issue I did not think of is my car is still manual steer with a 205/50/15 on the front may not be able to turn the wheel without power steering
I don't know

Gordie, the mark up is insane! Too bad I don't live close to the border. And that sounds like a plan, if you can get a 195 50 or 185 50 that might be good too for the front
