Is anyone familiar with the old BEAR #27 spindle mount alignment tool? Why are there two sets of scales on all three bubble levels? Thanks[ATTACH]
Ok, thanks for the info!

"I've read about the stock 2.3 turbo being lack luster" ??? You must be talking of the carbed ones and not EFI ones.

Will 1 1/2 inch of E-brake cable travel be enough for a 9 inch Ford rear end?
another good flick is ( hotrod gang ) from 1958. Sorry no help on what your looking for though.
+ 3 on the adapter, AND as a side note on the built in valve for the rear. If it's one from a parts store I haven't seen them installed for...

I was able to use my 31 Model A steering wheel on my late 60's Caddy tilt & tele. I'll have to use the horn button to lock the tele though.
Welcome. By your sign on name I'm guessing you own a Mustang?
