[ATTACH]Don’t use what this guy used !
Is there a gap between the pads and rotors? Do you think the pistons moved at all?
Make sure calipers are not upside down. Bleeder needs to be on top.
[ATTACH]Any kind of solenoid valve should work. Just need to make sure it’s normally closed.
The main thing I can tell you is that it is imperative that the TV cable is adjusted correctly! If not, you will be getting the opportunity to...
Calipers on backwards? Are the bleeders on the top of the calipers?
Watching now!
King pin Bearings on the bottom of the axle, not the top, correct?
I don’t remember from all the post. Drum brakes in the rear? If so, it is very possible a brake shoe is catching as the drum turns. That I have...
Geeze! So, no load on it, wheels in the air, a rhythmic clunking from the rear? With the rotation of the rear wheels? Same on the road? Would you...
I think the whole thing has to be rechecked. Axle length and all. I would start by finding out what bearing is supposed to fit in the new housing...
If I’m not mistaken, if it’s a fuel injected camshaft, it will not have a lobe for the fuel pump. I.e. later model engine.
^ bingo
That looks like a tapered roller bearing. I’m not sure what ends he put on, but if he put big bearing ends on it, I’m pretty sure you need sealed...
Tapered bearing two piece or ball bearing? I believe the big bearing housing were ball bearing. Looks like you have tapered bearing as I see the...
Maybe consider running a Kabota or little John Deere alternator. If there are not a lot of accessories it will keep up. Guys use them on race cars.
[ATTACH]Could use ‘46 wishbones
You can get a test kit that checks for combustion gases in the coolant. You may also try an air lift to fill the coolant with. Sucks all the air...
I’m not sure where the bent axle housing rabbit hole began, or what that has to do with a clunk. I do know if you didn’t use limited slip additive...
Shouldn’t a piston skirt knock get quieter as it gets hot? I assume they are hearing it at idle as well. Also not where you would hear a piston...
With zero compression your hot rod shouldn’t hold any air pressure. That would be a large leak. Are you sure the compression gauge is accurate and...
You do understand that the center section needs to be in the axle housing and then you check the axle to make sure it reaches both sets of splines...
The axle needs to engage both sets of splines. If it does not, the vehicle will not move. It will simply slip the clutch on that side. The inboard...
Limited slip clutches will not stop it from moving. It will just be single track. Possibly one axle is too short not engaging the carrier all the...
Ugh
You need this for a cruise o matic. Bushing removal and installation tool. This one is for a TH350. This may work. Pretty sure TH350 and C-4 are...
Since it looks like everything is out, how about you bolt that flywheel to the floor or to a big piece of plywood or something to hold it...
Can you see the T/O bearing through the bellhousing? If so is it completely off the pressure plate fingers when released? Or, just barely resting...
Engine off, trans in gear. Can you push the car? What rear is in the car? Are you sure it’s the clutch and not some stripped splines somewhere,...
Glad you sold the truck! Looks like a great purchase as well!
