    67 DISK MASTER CYLINDER DILEMMA

    My 67 has factory power brakes with front disks. The plan is to upgrade to 4 wheel disks down the road. In the meantime, my master cylinder appears to be leaking between it and the booster. I need to replace it asap but I would rather replace it with a master cylinder that will work for the...

    Yikes! Lots of play in steering! Need advice.

    After you do the loose steering component check as previously recommended I would then check and tighten the steering box. I had the same issue and this forum "steered" me in the right direction as mine is tight now. You'll see there is a 1" long screw and locknut protruding from the top of...

    The modern restomodders seems to like the slighly lowered look with 17" wheels. My preference is stock height rear with slighly lowered front. To each, his own. My combo is this: rear - standard eye 4.5 leafs (M+) 24550R16 tires, front - shelby drop with 600# (scott drake) springs at stock...

    Where to get a billet brake handle?

    I have seen some billet parking brake handles for 67-68 before but I have no idea who makes them. They are a great restomod addition for the weak oem ones, any ideas?

    spark plugs too hot - WR5? Autolite 45s?

    I used to run a Motorcraft BF-42 (I think is the same as the Autolite 45 now)in my old 289 HP, too hot for me. Then I switched to the colder Autolite or motorcraft bf-32 and it made a significant improvement in performance. They are hard to get nowdays only through NOS places. You might also...

    MY 67 FB IS A LEANER!

    I did loosen, drive and retighten a couple weeks back (per recommendations) but it made no difference. Relocating the weight distribution also made no significant difference either. The whole side is off the same amount front to back. By lifting up the front left fender via. muscle I can see...

    MY 67 FB IS A LEANER!

    Recently replaced the whole rear suspension on the 67 FB. Prior to touching the car we measured the fenders to ground distance so we knew the as is and found that the car sags on the drivers side about 3/4". After changing out the rear springs the car still sags 3/4" on the whole drivers side...

    Getting ready for a new 4.5 leaf and KYB Gas-a-just shock replacement on the 67 FB. I also wanted to get new shock/spring plates and powdercoat. Old ones have 35+years of grime and several layers of nasty undercoating. The only ones I have found at the usual suppliers (NPD, Mustangs Plus...

    Thanks for the JME scoop Dolfan. This is a $300+ investment that I'll see everytime I get in the car, I want to buy the good stuff. There has to be others who have done this , isn't there?

    Dash Aluminum insert supplier preferences: JME or Scott Drake

    I have a 67 FB with the deluxe interior (brushed aluminum) on the dash. Prior to me it was updated with that crummy "brushed aluminum" sticker stuff applique. Don't waste your time or money, that stuff sucks and will eventually bubble like mine and look low budget. I'm going to do it right...
