Tim i intend to. As i said the Q&A under the brake kit only mentioned "70's Ford truck". Too many possibilities with that and it looks like i may...
Bill - that cylinder looks very promising. Correct inlet size and bleeder/inlet configuration. I will confirm bore size. I appreciate the info!
Bill - thanks. I will look into it!
i was just providing the information from the speedway site. the kit is called a 37-48 ford bendix brake kit regardless of what it "really" is and...
Exactly. Thats why a 37 to 48 Ford cylinder wont work. The pins are built into the outer seal. they are much shorter and not removable. I will...
I need to match a 70's Ford truck part because that's what comes in the kit. not a part from the 40's. Also the web site is no help. The tech even...
Tim - Napa part # UP13369 looks good. 7/16 x 20 inlet. Middle bleeder. Bore 1-1/16" (although i don't know if that bore size matches the speedway...
Tim - looks like the one's you quoted have a 3/8 x 24 inlet. The devil is in the details. Yes it's a common part - with several configurations!...
Rear kit w/ e-brake 91065440 Front kit 91065420 All have same wheel cylinder other than inlet position. Inlet 7/16 x 20 straight thread. Inlets...
Tim thank you! There were two or three different bore sizes. For various reasons i can't take the one's off the car before having the new ones at...
Here we go again. Has anyone replaced the wheel cylinders from the 37-48 Ford bendix brake kit from speedway motors? The replacement cylinders are...
M A. G those cylinders are not correct for the speedway kit. They are not compatible with the shoes. Thanks anyway. I'm back to researching the...
Irish - those were the days. I may find someone at NAPA here locally that will take the time for all that but i'm not counting on it. Also as i...
M A. G also can you confirm that all 4 cylinders have the inlet threads on the rear (pointing towards the back of the vehicle) ? Also i have...
M A. G just to be sure, you have the speedway backing plates or complete brake kit that i referenced? If so your information is great news to me...
It's driveable as is with very slow leaks. Wanting to get parts before taking apart/replacing. Just looking for a wheel cylinder part number....
Frankly the best view of it is on the speedway web site. With my hub and hardware a picture of mine isn't nearly as good.
Need to replace the wheel cylinders that came with the speedway 37-48 drum brake kit. In the Q&A section on the speedway site it says to use...
do you know can lucas be added to any oil? per a suggestion I was planning to try the brad penn 20-50 to see if it makes a diff. would also try...
No experience with mobile 1. is it a multi-viscosity oil like 10-40 or?
Well thank you guys so much for the input. Unfortunately, at least for now, i'm in no position to pull the engine to check clearances. Will...
rusty - you sound like your on the right track as h&h suggested the 060 restriction. by canister do you mean the filter itself or the filter mount...
Dan - thanks for the reply. Using an aftermarket gauge with the line running to the top of block where the oil inlet and outlet lines go with the...
Thanks Rick - Appreciate the info on what your using for filter and oil. Can you tell me where your oil pressure tube is mounted on your engine?...
Have an 8BA with "95% Oil Flow Modification. This is where the oil galley is tapped at top rear of block and a remote filter is installed. I have...
Thanks Bruce - my setup is nothing radical so i'll be fine. I'm not one to go overboard but i thought i'd ask around just to see what may be...
Thanks pipes - sorta what i thought. Mechanical i go.
Hey all, I recently read that a push rod type mechanical fuel pump will not deliver enough fuel volume to run multiple carbs on a flathead....
