Any objections to a 60mm spring on a 2.25" spring perch/2.25 helper spring?

Do they fit, because if there's only 1/8 to 1/4" of spring land then 60mm ID won't fit too hot.

If they fit the perch though...

Hmmm, i'll keep thinking. I'm 99% sure I'm going to install them as is.

I have all the spindles stripped down and ready for powdercoating.

I killed the starter in my truck when working on it so once that comes in from rockauto I'll start stripping the miata I think.

Can anyone confirm if the NA and NB fuel pump assemblies have the same bolt pattern?

If you are torque in our brackets without inserts, don't use more than 30 ftlb on the brackets or calipers.

40 should be more than enough for 10mm/3/8" hardware and steel threaded inserts (helicoils)

My truck is still being a huge bitch.

Any pointers on tuning carbs? I can't even get it to idle long enough right now, and can't tell if im too rich or lean.

Then you should swap a $300 junkyard 5.3l and run that on HPtuners.
