Thank you very much. We did figure out that it was the same as the 28-40 Chevy kit that we make, but i know that the BOP cars had all kinds of...
Anybody know how many years of the Pontiac straight axle spindles are common to a 36? Just did a disc conversion for a 36 and was wondering if it...
Would have been nice if you gave us some info on the brake components. I assume you are using the stock chevy brake pedal so my guess is you have...
Thanks rougebeat, muchly appreciated.
I have installed a factory external oil filter on my 55 pickup 235. There was no cartridge in it when I got it so I don't know where or which way...
The Granada calipers are the same piston diameter as a Mustang II, 2-19/32 in. 79-81 Mustangs ran a 7/8 bore m/cyl. unboosted. If you are in the 5...
If memory serves me correctly the B&M Hydro Stick was based on the 4 speed hydro. Had a Corvette back then with one bolted to a 301 small block.
We had been doing these conversions for a lot of years but several years ago we decided to give it up because the spindle exchange got out of...
Get yourself a magic marker and draw some lines the length of the shoes. Put the drums on and take it for a ride. Cycle the brakes a few dozen...
We have remote boosters back in stock. I can tell you from personal experience that they work very well. Price is $275.00 each. 860-872-7046
The easiest way to determine if there is an RPV inthe m/cyl. is to take a paper clip, straighten it out and insert it into the hole in the seat in...
Take a read on our reply to matt2491 on his corvette m/cyl. it also applies to your problem.
Be careful which Chev. m/cyl. you choose, some don't have rpv's because the wheel cylinders in the OEM application had cup expanders in them which...
Not knowing anything about this car, is the tank vented?. Remove the gas cap and see if that solves the problem.
We make L/H and R/H sideways mounts for under dash installations. Pictures on our website www.ecihotrodbrakes.com.
We make a dual m/cyl. conversion bracket to use the stock brake and clutch pedal in the stock location under your chevy. Our DBK uses the big...
You guys are making this way more complicated than it needs to be. Go back to the basics and start over. Look at the pedal ratio and m/c bore size.
VERY small diameter pistons, they need lots of line pressure. That's the reason for the manhole cover size booster on the OEM installation.
We make a bolt on kit, sent you a PM.
What GM caliper, big piston or metric? What pedal ratio do you have? all this makes a difference.
If I remember correctly stock was 1 in. bore. You can measure it at the snap ring with a set of calipers. You will find that the bore size before...
We do a zero offset 11 inch rotor big piston GM caliper kit for the 55-68 Chevys. It is a bolt on kit with all NEW parts. 860-872-7046.
A little knowledge is a dangerous thing.
Here's a thought for you, how do you know the guy you copied it from new what he was doing???.
Find out EXACTLY what is there for calipers front and rear, what m/cyl. and it's bore size. Calculate the pedal ratio and call me. Ralph 860-872-7046
If your centerlines use a conical seat style lug nut you need the ET style lug nuts which project down into the hole in the wheel.
You do not have to hold the button in on a metering valve, only on some combination valves. Leave everything just as it is. Take the car someplace...
Used to cruise the pike 63-65 before I went in the service. Cops didn't bother us much as long as nobody got stupid. Lot's of light to light...
Give me a call. Ralph 860-872-7046
You didn't say what the master cylinder bore size was on the 47. Whatever the original bore size was on the 47 has to be the same bore size on the...
