Re: dizzy qs for turbo

Hi guys, related question so thought i would ask here if anyone is listening... I have just put an MSD 6AL-2 ignition system into my Turbo Scorpion (2.6L). Main reason for this was so that i could properly advance and retard timing for boost as i didn't have proper canister on my dizzy. Question is,...

Re: Power steering conversion

Well to answer my own question about putting in Power Steering without the correct column: Thought I would give it a go since my steering box was shagged and in need of a refurb. Bolted in the power steering box and to use my normal GL column saw that it would extend about 7-10cm further into the ca...

Re: Power steering conversion

Hi Guys, A while ago I bought a donor Scorpion to strip some parts off for my GL build. Took all the power steering bits in order to do the same conversion - the only thing I left (stupidly) was the column :/ Is there any easy way to buy/make shaft bits so that I can use what i have with the current...

Re: Car wont turn off with ignition and Brake Warning Light

Thanks guys... I had posted this in the Scorpion Space but didn't have much luck so thought i would try here. Have since got some good pointers so will get into it this week. Car runs as if key is still switched on - doesn't skip a beat. I have a distant memory (before a long trip overseas) of it st...

Car wont turn off with ignition and Brake Warning Light On!

Hey gang, Left my Scorpion while on a trip away for a few years and since returning a few ghosts have appeared in the machine! Firstly Brake Warning light stays on now - anyone got a quick fix for me? Fluid is full but I get the feeling that the brakes are not entirely letting go. In neutral it seem...

Re: Electrical problems - Brake Warning Light and Ignition P

Re: Newbie w/Sapporo

That is a nice looking ride mate, can't believe it was found in a scrapyard!! Maybe not as valued in the US because as it was released also as the 80's Challenger it could be considered the ugliest Dodge Challenger going around ;-) How have you gone with sourcing parts in the US? Reason i ask is tha...

I believe i was also in the middle of su...

Re: Midnyte's Chrysler GH Turbo Scorpion

I definately agree with the others on those Rims - what are they off? Wells wheels? Im sorry but i also agree with the bonnet not being that good - i personally like the basic sigma turbo bonnet vents only look but am still deciding what to go for on my own Scorp. Have mucked around in photo shop wi...
