    Any Of The Old Timers Still Here?

    Damnit man, your detached shop is about 300 sq/ft larger than my house LOL.

    Rear Disc Brake Conversion

    Nicely done. I've been waiting for someone to make these brackets forever. The cobra ones are the way to go if you have the wheel for it, the extra cooling from the vented/larger rotor is a big upgrade over the smaller non-vented rotor. Do you have a solution for the parking brake cable yet?

    Brakes Wrong Parts Or Not

    Ask them to refer you to the supplier if they won't support you. If they are just parts middlemen you are paying extra for support. If you get none, there is no value add.

    Brakes Wrong Parts Or Not

    You should probably email their support and send them a link to this thread so they can look at the pics and check it out. If you screwed the adjuster all the way in and it still won't bolt on, it sounds like they sent you the wrong stuff.

    Did you try adjusting the pushrod on the booster all the way in to see if it would mate with the MC properly?

    04 Gt Falls Flat On Its Face After About 20 Minutes Of Driving

    Like wmburns said, a small amount of data logging will go a long way. If you are having the fuel pump cut out when the tank is low on gas that could be the fuel pump on its way out but it is best to log the info and see what is happening when the issue actually occurs.

    Gt40p Blues Stuck In Da Stable.

    Ya, the P head with a cable clutch is a tough combo to fit. Might need to go custom on that side. If you could get the right size u-bend and mock it up yourself you could have someone else weld it and save some cash.

    I guess we will see how those other headers fit. Post some pics when you get them in, I'd be interested to see.

    Gt40p Blues Stuck In Da Stable.

    So I just had a thought, which is dangerous I know. What if instead of using the P heads you used a set of 80s heads... which ones were those? E7TE heads I think? You could have Thumper port them out and they would out flow the P heads and fit your spark plugs. Although if you want to use the...

    Where did you get the shock tower brace? Did you make it or was it available from somewhere? Damn it man, just order some pipe and silicon sleeves the right size! Works in a pinch though lol

    Depending on the model of the header it will actually directly interfere with the spark plug and you can't put the header at all.

    Gt40p Blues Stuck In Da Stable.

    I wish my friend's exhaust shop was still in business, I'd send you up to his place in LA but unfortunately they are closed now. My advice is to find an exhaust shop that has a mandrel bender and an upright band saw. Most shops are hack and whack, use crush benders and aren't qualified to...

    Engine Bay Cleanup

    Well now that the engine is in there you are going to have a much harder time but it can still be done. I would recommend getting some black smurf tubing, aka corrugated split loom, and putting the harness into that. You can find strategic spots to drill through the fender apron and run the...

    Heater Blower Wiring Nightmare

    I don't have the wiring diagram for your car but I can ask questions that will help others help you. Is your car a 65 or a 64 1/2? Which motor do you have? Do you have an alternator or a generator and what did your car come with originally? What are the color of the wires and their stripes...

    Kelsey Hayes Brake Caliper Washers

    Yep, its just a standard copper crush washer. Also, you can get yourself a set of steel braided brake lines for some additional oomph in your braking system.

    Re-flaring Brake Lines

    Most likely the problem is that the line flaring tool you got from the auto parts store is a total piece of trash made of the finest Chinesium money can buy. I've used a few of those piece of crap and they don't work well enough to flare anything beyond super mild steel. If the lines on your...

    Hey bud, welcome to the forum. Can you give us a little more info on the parts? Do you have a link to the place you got them from? If you could post pics that would be helpful.

    Gt40p Blues Stuck In Da Stable.

    So it has been a while since I ran into this problem and it was on an automatic so there was no clutch cable issue. We just dimpled the header to clear the steering box and called it a day until we got custom headers made. My advice is to find yourself a good exhaust shop locally and talk to...
