    Fluid Leaking in Floorboard

    There is a restictor in the elbow that comes off the intake manifold likely needs to be changed if it looks like it's been there for a while. They rust out and it allows the heater core to be overpressurized when you rev the engine, causing you to destroy heater core after heater core. Before...

    Edelbrock 2121 intake manifold missing rear water ports?

    The rear crossover is unnecessary and totally redundant. The car will run fine without it.

    Cable Clutch...... and pedals...

    FYI - Steve recently purchased a '69 or '70 so he could mock up the cable setup. He'll have one for ship in a couple of months if you can wait. I know a guy who put the Modern Driveline unit into his '70 Cougar and likes it very much.

    02 gt pbr calipers rather than cobras calipers on a 65

    What rotors did you use? Did you fab your own brackets? If I had the parts lying around and was broke, I'd do the GT stuff. Beats the snot out of drums.

    No Power, pops out back, runs hot, and Pi$$ me off

    It appears you have a fuel delevery problem that is causing a lean missfire. I'd suggust getting a fuel pressure gauge, and checking it right behind the filter. You need to check it cold and hot, when it runs good, and when it doesn't.

    Ride problem

    I have the Pro Motorsports pieces in the front of my '65. Absolutley worth the price for a street car.

    Water Pump???? Block Off???

    Those "Help" plugs split after a distrubingly short period of time. I would either: 1. Use a short piece of heater hose and loop it back onto the intake or 2. Remove the nipple and tap in pipe threads for a pipe plug if I cared about cosmetics

    02 gt pbr calipers rather than cobras calipers on a 65

    The older aluminum brackets won't work with the 12" GT stuff. There is an interference problem between the bracket and the caliper becasue the aluminum bracket is reliefed special for the Cobra PBR caliper. Supposedly the newer steel ones will fit. Why would you want the little brakes?

    Sticky Cable Clutch Mod. Driveline

    If he melted the cable, it's junk.

    Sticky Cable Clutch Mod. Driveline

    I'd disconnect the cable from the TO arm and cycle the pedal. If the pedal is free and moves easily, it's time to pull the trans and look up the clutch. If the pedal doesn't move easily.........try to figure out where you got the cable against the exhaust (which melted it) so when you...

    Ride problem

    What exactly is the problem? The car is mushy? It wanders at speed? Before I tossed a bunch of money at the car, I'd get somebody to do an alignment on it and make sure it had 3 degrees of caster, and look the car over for wore out parts. Almost all of the vintage cars I see that...

    Shock Tower Braces

    Hey, can I ask you a favor? Make a post on your blog (or here) describing what you had to do to the filler neck to get it to mate with the big fuel tank. Please? Glad you're happy with the GW brace. They are good people.

    How do you change the fluid in a 8" rear diff?

    There is no drain plug. You have a couple of options. Option 1: Remove the rear axles and remove the center section. The fluid will come out when you remove the center section from the housing. Replace the gasket and reassemble. Refill via the fill plug in the cover. Option 2...

    Does painless really not hurt?

    It's a 30 or 40 hour install. If you know what you're doing. I've built my own harnesses before, the painless unit is easier than scratch building one, but it's not a drop in.

    Bump steer or... ?

    You should of cycled the suspension with the shock installed. It controls how much downtravel you have. I would suggest you do it again with the shock installed. It won't cost anything. I guess what I'm trying to say is the bump steer you observed may not actually occur within the travel...
