The king pin fits the upright snug like it is supposed to. I don't see or feel any burs on the bushing. I checked the old king pin and it wont go...
I ordered a new kingpin kit from speedway motors the other day and it arrived while i was out of town. Today I had the time to work on the car and...
Yeah I guess it would be a tub more than a bucket...LOL....
Yes the POW Bucket is called out quite often and sometimes set up on display in honor of our veterans. I don't have a true "show car" as I was...
Ok so here is the total run down. I found that the return spring on the brake pedal would relax at times causing it to hold slight pressure on...
when I open the bleeder it breaks free and the wheel turns easily. As soon as I start driving and touch the breaks again it starts grabbing again....
so your saying if I break it loose at the hard line to braid line and the wheel turns then it is not the hose.......well not that I just typed it...
The caliper is tight as heck on the rotor and not allowing it to turn with out using a bar.
I did a little digging and found the master cylinder is for a 75 ford mustang. It has a 15/16 bore. Is this too big or too little?
They are only 4 years old if that and they are stainless braided but hey crap happens
The red box in the front is the T fitting. They are GM Metric calipers that I ordered for a 75 Chevy Nova. The pushrod is good and hasn't changed....
I have never had really good brakes on the T-Bucket. I have the Disk/ drum combo and I have the 2psi front and 10psi rear residual valves plumbed...
I then masked off the timing tape, painted it all black, took the engraver and went over the engravings so it'll stand out and then clear coated...
[IMG][/URL][/IMG] and I even added something else....... I started doing just The POW Bucket and went all the way around with WWI - WWII - Korea...
about 16* or so. Maybe a little more towards 17*. I drove to town and back and it runs like a scalded dog. No pinging at all either.
Ok so I am curious here. I did as above. I didn't worry about my idle timing persay. I revved the engine up till timing did not change anymore...
Man I sure do Love the HAMB.......I was messing around with the timing and added timing tape and tab and wanted to set it for performance.
Yeah I made a piston stop about 10 years ago but lost my degree wheel from 1 house to another. Anyway I will be getting a new pointer and...
Ok this may seem dumb to ask but I have to. I have a SBC 350 with no timing pointer. I have a new Harmonic balancer. The car is running pretty...
Ok so this morning I took the Carb off and tore it down. I did a complete rebuild and was very very careful with all the adjustments. I checked...
I think it's funny I am here looking for help for the same exact thing. I also noted that while idling I can see gas dripping in the passenger...
