    Rear Drum Brake Springs

    Thanks for the replies. I'll have to get more verification before I accept the way I put them together. Maybe I should pull the drums off my GMC Jimmy to see how the other side does it! :shrug:

    Rear Differential Washers

    I will soon be installing the differential back into the housing. It's a '67 8" rear. There were copper washers under the nuts on the 5 lower studs. They are pretty beat. Where, besides Ford can I find these copper washers? I've been to a couple of auto parts stores, hardware stores, and...

    Rear Drum Brake Springs

    Please help...I replaced all springs, adjusters, shoes, wheel cyls on my '67. As I removed the old componants, I kept them as intact as possible so re-installation would be easy. Everything went together well but afterward, I notice that the larger (green) spring is on the front shoe on the...

    What is the best sealer to use on water pump gaskets?

    I have used Permatex #2 for about 30 years and no leaks-ever. I use a thin layer on both sides of the gasket.

    289 Heads: Rail vs Pushrod Guided Rockers

    10 years ago when I started this project I had all my machine work done (block, crank, balance, heads, etc). I had the heads resurfaced, 3-angle valve job with new,stock-size valves and hardened seats in the exhausts. At this point I'm just going for stock so unless I get a last minute itch...

    289 Heads: Rail vs Pushrod Guided Rockers

    Thanks for the replies, guys. The valve tip definately sticks up about 1/4" and the pushrod holes are round. For now (probably forever) I'm just going to go with stock-type rockers. I may consider the roller tip-type if not overly expensive. I'm going to have a hefty bill to pay to the paint...

    289 Heads: Rail vs Pushrod Guided Rockers

    I am going to be reassembling the 289 I disassembled over 10 years ago. I threw out the old rockers back then as I didn't intend to use them. Now I don't know remember style they were. I think 1966 1/2 was around the time the change was made to rail-type rockers. My car is a '67, built on...

    Fenders

    Last night I placed a $1600 (before discount) parts order with CJ Pony Parts which included the original Ford tooling LF fender. That should round out what I needed to get it in paint so I can begin reassembling the car after being apart for almost 11 years! Rob

    Fenders

    I have a repro hood (turn signal type) on my '67. It came with the car. Fit is good. It was on the car when I bought it in 1994. Rob

    Carb help needed

    I set the mixture screws with a vacuum gage. Turn them in lightly to bottom, then back out 1 1/2 turns as a starting point. Then with the vac gage connectewd, turn each one, one at a time to get the highest vacuum reading. Go back and forth until you get the smoothest idle with the highest...

    Fenders

    OK, thanks for your offer. After I get the new fender I'll see how the bucket matches up. I'm hoping it's a good fit. Rob

    Fenders

    My original bucket had a big crack in it, then I was given an original that also had a crack so I bought the repro. It's been stored for about 4 years. I'm getting close to the re-assembly process and found that the repro parts I bought don't fit well. I'm going to buy the correct fender and...

    Front power disc brakes conversion kit recommendations

    Power Disc Brakes I also bought the MPB kit for my '67. Haven't installed it yet but it looks to be a complete kit and pretty straightforward install. It ended up being about $900 and included rotors, 4-piston calipers, hoses, vac booster, MC, combo valve, attaching brackets and hardware...

    Fenders

    Thanks for the replies. I'm going to bite the bullitt and buy one made from Ford tooling. This weekend CJ Pony Parts is having a 10% off sale so I'll wait til then. I haven't decided whether or not to by the Ford tooling headlight bucket too. I bought a new repro a few years ago; I'll take...
