      So, It weighs 9.1 kg for a 17x8, should be 20 lbs. Maybe Dyno serie is a little heavier.

      More to come...

      but.... I've seen one big issue...

      My rear wheel studs are way too short....
      Only half an inch is bolted so I have to change for longer ones before driving with the new wheels...

      Voilą !! I'll still drive a couple of month with the old wheels...

      So next is rear end care, axle seals, pinion seal, longer wheel studs, Moser aluminum 8.5 10 bolt differential cover & seal...

      Maybe I can replace the studs without removing the axles ?

      No way, gotta pull the axles to replace the studs. But don't really need all the other stuff unless you want it.

      Sh8...
      Not safe to hammer friendly the studs with an open bolt on them to pull them out & bolt the new with a spacer to put it in place ?
      I can see the bolt heads behind the disc like in this picture, I have room to remove the old & place the new one...

      If not safe I won't do...

      The other stuff was while I was at it, as the rear end is leaking, maybe time to take care at the same time

      I would think you could knock them out from the front and use a nut to pull longer studs in? Probably not the best way but I'm pretty sure that's how a tire store would fix it.

      Oh wow, totaly forgot your rear end has everything cut off it... should be just fine in that case to smack em out and smack them in...

      I would rent a ball joint press to put them in. Pulling them in with a lugnut is not a great idea. It might work but it puts undo stress on the bolt.

      It worked great with the impact gun.
      I have tried to pull studs in before with lug nuts. It has worked sometimes and not others.

      So...
      Drove it last month, 30min ride, no problem, really nice ride...

      Tried to start her today but the old lady is a real pain in the neck... No way... No more spark @ the plug...

      I'll have to check everything from the plugs to the starter... All the wires & relays... fuses & MSD distributor, not even sure I have an ignition box & coil...

      I'm in for new wires all the way too...

      Any thought welcome guys...

      Thanks

      Investigate a little, seems I have a 8362 - MSD Street Fire HEI Distributor...
      That's why I saw no box & coil as they are in the distributor, will test it later if I have juice in/out

      OK, I have juice arriving @ the distributor

      Next I'll open it to see the coil, Ignition Controller Module & things in to check them & see what I have to change

      Just start chasing wires... Start where you know you have juice and go from there. Good luck!

      If you have power to the distributor and not to plugs I would think you should start with a coil. I did read where they recommend some heat compound when you install it.

      Thanks65,
      Thermal grease where it sits, right ?
      I'll open the coil cap & see the extent of the damages...
      Should be more than a 10 year old coil, maybe time to change it.
