I plan on upholstering the sides of it using 1/4" Landau foam, but the middle is what I'm concerned about. I want it to really shine.
I need some expert advice. I built this custom center console from 1/2" birch plywood, using filler where needed. I routed all of the inside and...
I have an NOS Norelco Auto Mignon in the box, installing in the trunk of my '58 Buick. I basically want to create a setup where I have an on/off...
I need some thoughts and advice. I have a '58 Buick with a 364 Nailhead. On Saturday, my harmonic balancer and crank pulley came off the crank...
I have a '58 Buick custom. The spring that controls the tension on my steering column shift lever broke years ago, so now if you bump the lever...
I brought my Buick to the shop today to see what was making all the noise. They pulled the flexplate cover and discovered that one of the bolts...
I seem to be confusing some of the guys at the local parts stores when I explain the starter relay is not the solenoid. They say it is one in the...
I have a dual stainless exhaust system with mufflers that are 30" long. I haven't been able to find any solid heat shields for them. My front...
So, you mean check the input and output voltage at the relay or is there another method of testing?
So it was just a bad starter? What causes that to happen? Does the fact that I had to jump the relay eliminate that as a possibility? I'm...
I was driving on Saturday when I heard a pretty loud banging noise coming from under the floorboard. I pulled over and shut the engine off. When I...
For sure, just curious if it's easier to knock a ratio down or lessen it's effects as opposed to my old pedal with too little ratio.
I just got the manual brake pedal in. Took a short video of it in operation. Most of the literature and the manufacturer for the booster/master...
Sweet! And did you change the pedal assembly?
Update...I went through the original service manual even further and pulled up a wealth of information. It shows a diagram of the manual pedal...
According to the original service manual, the brake pedal adjustment height for the manual assembly is 8" vs the power assembly, which is 5 1/2" -...
I do have someone I know who has a pedal assembly from the manual version of my car which had a master cylinder with a 1" bore like the new one I...
No, we had to add a rod extension. Yes, very possibly, only thing is that plenum is part of the air duct system, so I wonder how losing that...
The first booster they sent us with the kit was not working. They had left that installed and I drove all the way across town to the 2nd garage,...
Holy geese! 1500 rpm. ;)
Can't argue with that. Lost a lot of money on this, which is why I turned to you guys for some good, knowledgable advice. Thank you. I'll be...
I wanted to change from a single master to a dual because I was told it was a safer way to go. I had a failure with my original rebuilt Treadalvac...
Completely agree! Appreciate all of the feedback and perhaps others can learn something and benefit from this thread, as well :)
So I guess the best way to calculate it is to measure the travel of the pushrod vs the actual travel of the pedal?
OK, it is true that the pedal assembly used on the manual versions with the 1" bore WAS different according to Frank Lyle who owns 37 models of...
This is my pedal assembly. Not sure how I'd make the mods you were mentioning with the way it is designed...[ATTACH]
Thanks for the reply, Cosmo. This is very confusing because I have some people saying the booster I have, (albeit a USA made aftermarket one...
Can someone make changes to the assembly without having access to the car? Like if I had to send it out?
Much appreciated, as well! Thanks for taking the time to answer my questions. I have a direction to go with this now...
I PMd Two chops and he doesn't seem to want to give me any info. He just said it was expensive to do. Didn't return my request for more info. That...
