    Did I get a good deal on a reman 4100 carb????

    The description on that item list the part numbers available. All of those that I could decode are 1.12" type. You may be able to request a 1.08" type, but I doubt it. They are nicely refurbished.

    68 Mustang Disc Brake conversion from 70 Mustang

    Is it possible that you also swapped in the brake booster 70? If so, you need to swap the pedal as well. The power pedal is 4-5 inchs longer and mounts differently. We need more information. The 70 to 68 disc brake swap is simple. Be sure that you used the outer tie rods from the 1970.

    3 or 4 spd / drums or discs ?

    I suspect that mid 70's Australian Falcon disc brakes are the same or very similar to Granada or 71-73 Mustang. As such, they should be suitable swap cores for your 66. If you can locate and post pictures of spindles and/or calipers from the Falcon, I will confirm

    Granada anti-vibration clips?

    Right you are. That's funny, I never view the homepage. I view the catalog page as home. I will eventually revise. I have been looking for someone to help redo my website and add merchant services, but have been unsuccessful. The green coating is a Zinc/Chromate electroplate for galvanic...

    maverick disc brakes...help please

    65NOTCH, See my install guide in the "how to" section at www.discbrakeswap.com. I don't think it has been established which spindle type you have. Probably Granada, but post a picture of a caliper and I will ID them for you.

    maverick disc brakes...help please

    What I said is that 70 Maverick uses the same spindle as 70 Mustang. This is correct. They use the same drum spindle. This infers that the 70 Mustang type disc spindle is appropriate, which it is. The Granada system will fit just as well, but the 70-73 disc Mustang system is more year...

    The 70 Maverick used the same spindle-brake system as 70 Mustang. The small parts including rotors, pads, calipers are easy to find and inexpensive.

    granada swap tie rods

    Use ES445R (or RL depending on brand) outers on your original adjusting sleeves. As noted above, no trimming is necessary. The only difference between the original and the ES445 is the diameter of the tapered mounting stud.

    69 front discs on a 66 - what would it take?

    I'm reasonably sure that the spindles being sold at the totalcontrolproducts.com site are not being made by Total Control. I believe they are made by a company on the east coast. I have evaluated a set and found that their design includes serious dimensional errors that will result in incorrect...

    69 front discs on a 66 - what would it take?

    You definately need the 69 disc brake spindles along with all the small bits. If your 66 has 6 cylinder steering gear or power steering, then it is not practical to use 67-69 spindles, the tie rods do not fit. If your 66 has manual 8 cylinder steering gear, use 69 type outer tie rods. Be aware...

    battery blew up need advice

    The Sulpher smell is H2S, the explosion is from hydrogen build up. Both are from charging/overcharging. The battery acid will eat right through sheet metal and make a mess of your engine compartment components. Clean up any spilled or splattered battery acid with 5% sodium bicabonate solution...
