Interesting.... Just had an OT 68 Mustang in the shop Tuesday, with the same rear brakes as you, to reset the brake light after owner replaced the...
I believe Scott Drake and Year One have the correct factory style spring kit for 10" x 1 3/4" brakes. C5ZZ-2035-DK Bill
I assume you are still running the coolant spacer between carb and manifold? Reason I ask is, the gasket between the spacer and manifold is...
Agree with that also. Many Mustang's had a different funky looking front spring that had heavier coils with two different diameters. Here is an...
Agree with BJR about opening bleeder or cracking the line loose, on that side to see if it retracts. Will it push back by hand? Being its only...
Why? Could it be because its not going down as fast? Bill
Good to hear you likely have it fixed. Bill
This thread has really gone of the rails. We will probably never know if the OP came up with a solution. I think the OP is too afraid to come...
A 250 and 350 are exactly the same size. A 250 is just a 350 that has an intermediate band instead of clutches for 2nd gear. Also had some...
Your post is somewhat correct, but misleading at best. Here is a paper on ignition timing that explains the works. I feel this paper is the best...
34 to 36 degrees is at wide open throttle. At no load cruise highway speeds, timing should be at least above 40-45 degrees or maybe even more....
I wouldn't connect the PCV and brake booster to the same vacuum port. A PCV is kinda like a controlled vacuum leak, which will affect available...
Speculating ain't gonna fix it. Going to have to get under it. Kickdown cable adjustment or stuck, can affect upshifts, but wont create no...
If the wheels are OE originals, they are likely widdowmakers. Best to stay away from them. Steel 8 lug wheels to fit the F2-F3 brake drums can be...
Before you start taking stuff apart, I would drive the car until the brakes are dragging like you said. Then while hot, loosen up the master...
I bought a new 1987 GN in November of 1986. Traded in my wife's 1984 Monte Carlo SS and cash. I bought it mainly as an investment. Had to buy her...
I just installed a pump from Leed Brakes on a customers car. Very quiet rotary style pump. Very simple install. Automatically starts when vacuum...
Isn't it ironic that non ethanol gasoline is only available in farmland. The farmers that produce the raw materials to make ethanol don't or won't...
The 4100 carb issue we just had not only boiled the fuel on a heat soak and flood the engine, but also started to boil the fuel/flood the engine...
Still havent learned or can find on the WWW, if some brands or type of gasoline have a higher boiling point than others. Did the addition of 10%...
What I have not seen addressed is, does AV or Rec gas have a higher boiling point than regular pump gas? In Chicagoland, I have to deal with fuel...
I would also think AV Gas wouldnt boil in the fuel bowls, like we see happining more and more often with the pump gas available today. Bill
What would concern me is the fact that you'r buddy replaced the gear on the MSD dist out of the box, which would have had Pt# 8531 already...
From what I understand, a Melonized dist gear on a older manufactured billet cam core is a reciepie for disaster. The cam makers have changed...
I cant seem to find anyone that has 12140 composite gear for an MSD .500 shaft diameter in stock either. Wonder why?????????? Bill
Its not hard to tell if the dist gear is wearing. Telltale sign is, if you are losing initial timing from where it was set initially and there is...
I have a Comp Cams custom grind solid roller in my BBC, with MSD pro billet dist. The cam is a billet core from the mid 2000s, and was told by...
I was able to get bearings/seals etc from VanPelt for my 1949. Ring and Pinion not available new. Its kinda like an early version of a 8" but...
I have done many power brake/dual stage master cylinder conversions to drum brake cars over the years. Never once have I had an unhappy customer...
