    What causes sloppy handling??

    Usually, the problem is worn components and a poor alignment, rather than the technology itself. With everything (which means 100%, not 90%) tight, a new or rebuilt steering box, proper alignment and a good set of tires, these cars should drive straight and predictable. Handling won't be...

    Boss T/A front brake upgrade (Lincoln/Tbird calipers) thread

    I agree that such a multi piece bracket is not the most elegant solution. Actually, from an engineering point of view, no bracket at all and the mounting holes integrated in the caliper is best.

    Boss T/A front brake upgrade (Lincoln/Tbird calipers) thread

    I wouldn't worry too much about ease of maintainance. A decent quality rotor should last a long time, even on a daily driver and about forever on a weekend driver. If you plan on a lot of open track weekends of other sorts of racing, then I can understand that it becomes more important...

    suspension time

    The reason 66Runt advised against oversteer is that understeer is dull/boring/iritating but oversteer is dangerous. Well, that's a bit simplistic of course. A good driver can make good use of a car that's easy to bring into oversteer to make the car more fun to drive and possibly faster, but...

    Boss T/A front brake upgrade (Lincoln/Tbird calipers) thread

    Does anybody know the center to center distance of the mounting ears of the small K/H four piston calipers? Here's a picture of the bracket: [/URL][/IMG] The vertical distance of the mounting holes on the spindle is 2.5" and judging from the picture, the caliper mounting holes are...

    Boss T/A front brake upgrade (Lincoln/Tbird calipers) thread

    Keep in mind that the Trans Am rear setup lacks any parking brake provisions.

    Boss T/A front brake upgrade (Lincoln/Tbird calipers) thread

    My bad, I meant to say that you could use Wilwood (not Raybestos like I wrote earlier) hats and rotors. They would slip on the drum hub, just like Cobra Automotive kit. I believe a 1.59" offset hat is needed, but they offer them in several sizes. For part numbers, check the Wilwood site. The...

    Boss T/A front brake upgrade (Lincoln/Tbird calipers) thread

    The 1968 Ford Full Size rotor (Raybestos 6008) is not a "drum hub type". It mounts, like all 60's Ford disc/hub assemblies, to the back of disc hubs, which are different from drum hubs. An alternative is to use Wilwood rotors and aluminium hats in combination with drum hubs. A little more...

    Mustang Drop Spindles

    Well, every rule needs an exception to confirm it :D I guess that is my point. I guess many would say "I wish those dropped spindles were around when I did my suspension and bought my wheels and brakes", but not all that many would buy them so that they can install yet another $1500 set of...

    Mustang Drop Spindles

    If the spindle accepts a 99-04 Mustang GT caliper, then the SN95 Cobra caliper should also bolt on (Mustang Cobras used the same spindle as the regular ones), so radially, it would already be in the correct position for a 13" rotor. It would then just require a spacer to move the caliper towards...

    Mustang Drop Spindles

    Actually, I doubt how many people who currently have big brake kits on their drum spindles would run out and buy dropped spindles. What would be the benefit for them? It would lower their car 1.5", but I have yet to see a Mustang with 13" Baer or Wilwood brakes that still has the stock ride...

    2-2 Induction idea

    OK, I was off 41 cfm, but the point I wanted to make is that two 500's are not the equivalent of a single 1000 cfm carb. I agree that you should not stare yourself blind at the flow ratings. It's not a pump that stops delivering at 750 cfm (or whatever the rating is), nor is it dumping 150...

    2-2 Induction idea

    I believe the SCCA didn't allow the inline four barrel to be used, so that's probably where development came to a halt. I doubt that a dual quad intake with dual two barrels would work better than with dual four barrels. Say you need around 750 cfm. That's 375 cfm per carb. However, two...

    Torsional rigidity test: 67 coupe

    I guess so too, because that's a 16% improvement and the rails and seat divider were a 14% improvement.

    Torsional rigidity test: 67 coupe

    I made a summary :) The improvemens in % are the relative changes compared to the previous step, so the for the Export Brace: (0.64-0.48)/0.64 = 25% Test1 Baseline 0.66" Factory crossmember 0.64" 3% Export Brace 0.48" 25% Monte...

    Torsional rigidity test: 67 coupe

    The rear seat divider is a better deal then: 13% improvement and you can make it on a rainy afternoon.

    Thoughts on the new CPP front suspension?

    I asked them a while ago and they had no such plans. Maybe they changed their minds our maybe they weren't interested in spreading rumours about parts that may or may not come. I bet it would be a product that would interest many.

    Anybody heard anything about this carb style EFI?

    The Dynatek setup look cool! Actually, it looks just like a Weber setup (including the look/finish), which is the cool part about it. I wonder where the injectors are hidden? Other Weber style throttle bodies I've seen had the injector on the outside, where it enters at an angle, much like on...

    Mustang Steve Cable Clutch and Headers

    I've used in combination with Hooker Super Comps. It's close, but it clears. Last year, I cut up the headers and used the bends to make my own Tri Y headers. Reason was that the Super Comps reduced ground clearance to less than 4", so I got tired of them scraping the road. So, I wouldn't...

    Body work is done. Like a Phoenix, my car has risen from the ashes (modem burner)

    Looks nice (again) Jerry! The first photos show a banner from "Automagic" Lisse, the Netherlands. Are you Dutch or do you live in the Netherlands? I am, hence my curiousity.
