    Bleeding nipple broke off today, little help maybe?

    Always thought it was the one closest?? Buy a haynes manual, two wheel cylinders, brake shoes, and the brake hardware kit. The haynes has pictures of each step. What you don't need return. May help to take a picture after each dissambly step incase the manual is not enough (should be)...

    Bleeding nipple broke off today, little help maybe?

    He should still have the front brakes till all the fluid leaks out. Same reservoir but different chambers. You will eventually run out of fluid though so watch out if you drive it. Just buy a new wheel cylinder and change it out on the rear. Easiset thing IMO. They are cheap. Also it may...

    Broke a brake line today. Need Help!

    DO NOT use the compression fittings. :nonono: Bad news there man. You need the pipe to be flared. Also I have only seen double flaring of the brakeline connecting to the MC. If you buy a section with fittings from an autoparts store you can choose flared or double flared. Auto tranny...

    Broke a brake line today. Need Help!

    Not sure Look it up online. Harbor Freight, Autozone, or Northern Equipment. My guess is 20 or so dollars. I forget what I paid for mine. When you flare. You might want to practice a bit. The flare acts as the sealing surface. The fitting just pulls the flare into in. Like those Russel Hose...

    Broke a brake line today. Need Help!

    I don't know about laws. But if you get a hold of a flaring tool you can splice a piece in. Have done it numerous times and it works. You will need two brake line unions, two brake line fittings and whatever length of brake line. Cut out the rusty section. Put the fittings on properly. Flare...

    eliminating power steering

    I have the stock manual rack in my 79 and even with the weight of the 460 up there It is not hard to turn at all. (Harder then PS obviously) The gearing is different though. I would think by just plugging the lines on the PS rack it would like steering the car when it isn't running. I...

    crouching merk, hidden intercooler

    That vent will create a vacuum right? I have heard that you need at least an 1" or so hood scoop for it to be functional. There is a boundary layer. Learned about it in fluids. I am sure it depends on the speed you are traveling, but there is something to it. Looks good though.

    eliminating power steering

    You can find manual racks on 79-83(??) base model stangs. Power nothing SO look for the stangs with no power brakes and it should not have power steering.

    n/a block different from turbo block?

    You have a carbed turbo though. These guys are talking about the EFI turboed 2.3's. You should be fine slapping the carbed setup on to the N/A. The carbed turbo 2.3 had flat-top pistons and only boosted to 7-9 psi. Very lack luster. Can be made to make 175 Hp with a little work. I say put...
