Well, I removed that along with the pan and filter to inspect what I just bought. Now the filler tube is kinda loose, it still has the little rubber "O" ring, and the...

    whining rear

    So for my 8.75 swap in my '75 Scamp, I purchased a used 741 open case with 3.55's. I replaced the pinion seal, the gears looked good, I measured the backlash and came up with .010" (not bad for used gears). After installation, the rear whines. :brickwall: Not a howl and no grinding sounds...

    3/8" sending unit to a 5/16" fuel line

    I've always done the RR, LR, RF, LF - brake loose the bleeder and have someone in the car pump the brakes. I read about gravity bleeding - where you fill the master cylinder and open all four bleeders. How do you do it?

    Universal Joint Removal

    I have used a C-clamp to replace U-joints, but it has been a while. Any tips you guys can offer would be appreciated. I have a bench vise that I was going to rest the ears of the driveshaft on to remove them by pounding them out. I don't own a press.

    wheel cylinder links/rods

    The wheel cylinders I removed on the rear of my Scamp had pistons in them with a socket/indentation on the face. The new wheel cylinders I bought have a flat face on the piston face. Can I still use the pins/links from my old WC? The pin/links (whatever you wanna call 'em) are curved at the end...
