line up bar ?

(1/1)

Mrs Esterhouse:
I bought a 2 1/2" OD drive line alignment bar thinking it would fit the main caps on my sbc.  It does not. What do I need to do? Thank you.

dreracecar:
You have to machine some collars to fit the bar and the main saddles. split one side and then slide over bar, set block on collars and move into possision , with split at cap seperation line, and a small piece of tape on the bottom of the collar and then install main cap to lock collar in place.

 These are universal line up bars , does not make sense to make them for all engines. but would be nice if they included drawings for the collars

Mrs Esterhouse:
That's what I figured, just a little annoyed that I asked them when ordering if I would need anything else to make it work.  Thank you.

Paul New:
for a SBC I took an old 283 block and had my dad open up the main line (Housing bore is 2.4906-2.4916 so it was pretty quick to do) to fit the bar works pretty slick. All the rest I have built machined bushings
