    Front Disc Brakes For 82

    I have a 79 Capri, original 5.0 and it and my 82 have exactly the same size rotors. The 82 was originally a straight six car. I have an 83 parts car, and (have not measured it recently) but I think it has smaller front rotors and brakes. Just wanted to see what experience was. If they are...

    Front Disc Brakes For 82

    Are 83 or 85 four cylinder front disk brakes any lighter than 79 or 82 V8 front brakes? I have 83 and 85 parts cars and could swap if there is a weight saving.

    Cam Change

    Thanks. For my entire life I have heard of people swapping cams in the car. So I tried it last year, and of all things, you have to remove the grille from my 66 Chevelle to swap the cam. Who knew!

    86 Fox 2.3 Lx

    Step one is get a wiring diagram for your year. They vary by year a good bit. The headlights are protected by a circuit breaker. If it senses an overload, it trips or opens. When it cools down, it works again. Should be in the headlight switch, although I am not familiar with an 86. You...

    Have installed both Ford and Motive gears. The Fords set up with the same shims as the last one, check the pattern and adjust. The Motive I had to do a country boy check of the master pinion depth, guess/calculated a pinion shim and went from there. Took three press on and off trials to get...
