Checked the site out yesterday and man am i glad I found it! I need some good advice and some tech help regarding my 57 buick special 4dr sedan. As far as the buick goes it is 90% original the 364 nailhead runs perfect and the car drives decent Except for the brakes! since the old bendix Tredelvac took a crap Ihave made up an adapter plate added a mustang II master cyl, with a wilwood prop. valve this system works but the pedal is rock hard and a stop above 30 mph leg pressing the pedal with both feet is definately an adveture! I am wondering about pedal ratio? or if the mustang II M/C has to big of a bore size. for now I just want to make her a solid reacher. If anyone has any ideas please let me know. Now as far as future plans. your advice and opinions are greatly appreciated! I am and always have been a gasser freak! I am a ex bracket racer (mostly pontiacs) that fell on hard times. I am ready to go racing again! Iam still on a budget but have always mangaged build decent combos that win! I have a buick 455 sittng on the stand ready to put together with a TH400 I am not planning a full on gasser, maybe JR stock look. Keep in mind I am still on a tight budgit and with the combo I have low to mid 12s is the limit. If anyone is interested I would be willing to sell the 364 or trade. What do you guys think! Let me know and thanks.
