You need to charger for the GTO. Can you not take it back and return it for the right one? That would be waaay simpler.

We can not return it, it was purchased used in private. we bought it for $ 3400 and new costs twice that. this has only been on the engine has been tuned in the bench.

Then it is cheaper for us to buy corvette complete system for $ 1,000 ..
we need none of ac stuff.



This project is in the thread on our Vw passat V8

I bet you could have a machine shop turn a new jackshaft cheaper than buying all new accessories. Should be a lot less work too.

wow! Car looks awesome now that it's completed.

I have an '01 Audi A4 Avant myself and have been collecting some parts myself.
Deciding whether to keep it AWD or convert it to RWD. I'd like to keep it a winter ski car in the end
