Master cylinder is frame mounted, booster is divorced and on the firewall.
I believe it's the hydro-vac for '57, which is the heart of the problem...almost impossible to poor-boy into a dual reservoir system. I...
So no one has purchased the kit from Caddy Daddy yet? I may be forced to spend the $700 and be the guinea pig I guess... I'll post my findings...
I posted a question earlier and can't find it now, if double posted I apologize... I've got a '57 Coupe de Ville that I'm trying to get back on...
I'm desperately trying to get my '57 coupe de ville on the road but I'm held up with the brakes. My car has sat since 1973 (I've had it since...
Btt please.
Any chance that someone can give me dimensions for one of these? I'm going to have to find one or build one for my car; I put an ad in the...
So I have the car in my hands; it's on the trailer at my parents house down the road. I plan to keep it as long as I can get the title - my buddy...
Damnit...........I'm trying to talk myself out of taking on another project. I might as well pick the thing up since I have to move it anyway....
I can pick up a '53 2-dr post Clipper from a buddy pretty cheap, real cheap. The car has been outside for probably 20 years or better. It's...
I'm going to install a 472 in a '54 Packard (3 on the tree); I've got a TH400 but would love to stay with a manual. Are the BOP pattern...
I'm calling BS, I've only been a 1.53 60' (mid 10-second car, short times stink) on slicks but the forces aren't that stout. Perhaps there are...
I did a Dana 60 very similar to that once. My Dad has a hydraulic bale prong in a 3/4-ton 1973 Dodge 4x4. Apparently it had no grease in it and...
I do have several Mopar regulators............................................ I think I'll give that the 'ole college try. Thanks
I'm currently running an internally regulated GM alternator on my '62 Impala. Unfortunately my Dad wants his alternator back for his race car and...
I too would advocate running dual gauges in case one water pump were to fail. One of my buddies did that on his F1 and he just used a dual-gauge...
I don't think we're talking about a lot of heat though, just enough to make the solder stick to it. I believe he was still melting the solder into...
I'm repairing hail damage on my '62 Impala with bondo. One of my friends says that he has had success heating the area with a propane torch and...
I would take a look at the smallest "truck" cams from Comp but I'm not familiar with the specific grinds. I have personally used a Comp high...
Assuming that this isn't a drag car that will be launched on slicks I'd use any Mopar rear that will fit width-wise (except a 7.25"). An 8.25,...
Man, now I'm going to share with everyone how stupid I am. You've got to keep in mind what they were worth at the time and that I didn't have the...
I'm wanting to get rid of the 2 barrel and intake. I'd like anything else but the factory 4-barrel unit. What else is out there and where to...
It's just my opinion, not right or wrong, so much for hot rodding............... always leave it stock.
I hate to admit that we ran PINKS in San Antonio but I guess I must. Anyway, they had the ambulance there also, that thing moves off the line...
From a drag racing perspective I can tell you that yes, the lighter the color the easier it is to find leaks. As mentioned above, the darker...
If you don't mind the hassle of dropping the tranny I'd do it. I've got exactly the same converter in my '62 with a stock 350. I'm using a B&M...
Did you check out the ambulance while you were there?
I vote for a standard performer also.
Wow, my first post that stayed around longer than 15 minutes! Thanks guys for the replies. Unfortunately you guys are reinforcing for me that I...
OK, I need some help, I'm a little out of my comfort zone. Usually when I choose a cam I'm looking to maximize efficiency/power and looking to...
