Rekord-C und Commodore-A Forum

No, the pinion length is not the same. Although it is possible to use Rekord gears in a Manta/Ascona/Kadett housing with a little bit of adaption.

Ich habe aber Dutzende Scheiben abgeschlachtet in den letzten 30 wo nur in den Ecken sone graue Knete drin gesessen hat, ohne weitere Mumpe wie es im WHB beschrieben ist entfernt zu haben. Kann dran liegen das die Einheiten für maximal 10 Jahre ausgelegt waren ab Werk. Mit Mumpe so wies im WHB auf ...

Es gab solche dinger auch ab Werk mit CIH Motoren. Wobei die dann, glaube ich, Olympia hießen. Ist ähnlich wie mit Rekord und Commo. Bestimmt geil son B-Kadett mit 1.9er CIH... A Kadett B could be had with four CIH engines back in the day. The 19S, The 17S, the 15S(US, Sweden and Finland) and the 1...

Yes and no. There are only minor modifications needed to the transmission tunnel, but you still have to change almost everything except the front and rear control arms. Easier to do if you have a parts car. But why not build a hot ohv instead ? A 73 mm welded stroker crank with an 80 mm bore makes 1...

Here is a source for pistons: https://www.opelgtsource.com/search/3269/details You could also buy a set of 134 mm C24NE, C26NE or C30SE rods and have the small ends bored for Chevy small block piston pins. Then you could use cheap 1,56" (39,6 mm) compression height 305 Chevy pistons. The valve ...

Ok, so the russians have the right to create a sphere of interest like in the ancient Molotov-Ribbentrop pact and decide what its neighboring countries can and what they can not do ? As far as I know, NATO doesn't force countries to join it, it's strictly volunteerly. The russians can of course do w...

So the russians are sending diplomats ? As I see it, the war will end directly when the russians withdraw their troops behind their legal borders, so why don't they do it if they only want peace ? The truth is that the russians must be stopped before things get worse. The situation reminds of 1939 w...

Nato has nothing to do with delivering weapons to Ukraine, every country, be they NATO-members or not, makes their own decisions about how much and what kind of weapons they donate. The sad truth is that the big players USA, France and Germany are too afraid of starting WWIII to give Ukraina the lon...

Lesser heating of the fuel/air charge in the carb and intake and flows better than the carb manifold. But the Sprint manifold should be combined with a better flowing exhaust system for a really noticeable increase.

Swapping to a Sprint exhaust manifold could also help against carb heat soaking. And gain 2-3 extra horsepower too.

Have you considered 195 65 14 tires ?

With a 7" wheel, the ET should be 0, with an 8" wheel it should be -13. Both with a 4" backspace.

A 6" ET 13 wheel has the same backspace as the stock 5" ET 28 wheel. Backspace is the distance from the center of the wheel to the inner side of the rim. https://tireswheelsdirect.com/wheel-offset-and-backspace-calculator/ https://www.speedwaymotors.com/the-toolbox/wheel-offset-vs-backspac...

I doubt it, the bearings have different part numbers. http://www.ps-autoteile.de/de/opel/commodore-a/rekord-c/vorderrad-aufhaengung-251/radlager-satz-vorderachse-opel-rekord-c.html http://www.ps-autoteile.de/de/opel/commodore-a/rekord-e/reparatur-packungen-591/radlager-satz-vorderachse-opel-rekord-e...

If you have a Rekord 4-speed drive shaft, have it shortened 70 mm and combined with the glide yoke from your TH 180 shaft. That's also a possibility I've considered. Verstehe ich leider nicht, warum 70mm wenn 150mm Unterschied sind!? A Getrag 240 is about 70 mm longer than a 4-speed. A TH 180 is ab...
