Those are Weltmeisters 270 lb springs. They don't list them on their website anymore.

someone used a rod to hold the wheel to tighten the lugs/loosen, Good catch, the wheels look good

Wow! Mark did an awesome job on those wheels. They look brand new. How about a before and after picture comparison.

Per your request!
Mark Kune painted theses wheels, the sanding process took 15 hours
But the outcome looks great not perfect but great !

Lookin' good.

I am amazed at how well those wheels came out. From your original posts I would have thought they weren't salvageable. Boy was I wrong.

Did you read "15" hours of sanding
My 86 wheels were as bad when I started.

Oil filler can; how do you get it out?
The one bolt at least the one I can see is out; hoses disconnected it wiggles. Is a O'Ring holding this together and I need to use brute force on? This is no time to break something!

Thanks, the WSM does not show 2-bolts!
I found it after a lot of looking both bolts were loose which explains the oil leak!
I hate this cleaning got tho TB out Etc ETC.

During my clean up I found this!
Apparently it's broken off and no vacuum lines went to it at least they were not connected. What does it do and can I bypass it or need to order a new one.

Mark, that was the same question you had on your 85. Do you remember if you ever got an answer then? It's a temp actuated vacume switch I believe. If you don't get an answer by tomorrow eavening I can look and see where the vac. lines go on one of my cars. I am out of town at the moment.

Edit: I just checked PET and it doesn't seem to appear there. I'll keep looking.

I found number 7 spark plug cross threaded any idea's on a fix. I could snug it down or tap it. I'm concerned about the shavings in the cylinder any suggestions.

The only temp actuated vacuum controller I can think of is the one for the diverter valve for the charcoal canister - but my experience only covers S4 at this point, so may not apply.
