    Need Help with Rear End Problem on my 70 Mustang

    By the "3L00" from the tag, I see that you have a Limited-Slip differential. It may be as simple a problem as the discs in the differential are binding up. When they do, and then suddenly release, it will make a loud clunk/pop and make the whole car shudder. I would suggest getting a 4-ounce...

    whats the best and cheapest way to put discs on my rear axle

    I do not offer the shims [but I do have rotor centering rings] for the C-V rear discs, but this is a write up I did some time back with a set of '98 C-V cop car rear discs I was playing around with: http://forums.stangnet.com/717933-crown-vic-rear-discs.html

    whats the best and cheapest way to put discs on my rear axle

    I understand the reasoning behind running ventilated rotors, [they run cooler], but I think it's a bit blown out of proportion that only a ventilated rotor can be used in a situation where the brakes are applied hard and often and still be able to function correctly --such as in opentrack...

    whats the best and cheapest way to put discs on my rear axle

    Unless I'm just overlooking it, I don't see anything that definitively states or shows the rotors as being for the rear. The one in the photo appears to be for the front since the sides of the hat taper inward toward the wheel mounting surface. A rear disc with an internal set of drum shoes...

    whats the best and cheapest way to put discs on my rear axle

    If you were already building the rear end housing, then certainly it wouldn't be any more work to flip the end flanges 90-degrees and weld them in place. --However, I do not know if Ford kept the same flange bolt hole center distances from bolt hole-to-bolt hole on the '03-up models as that...

    whats the best and cheapest way to put discs on my rear axle

    The Crown Vic's rear rotors didn't go to ventilated discs until the 2003-present models. However, unlike the '92-'95 versions and then the '96-2002 C-V versions, the '03-up C-V discs are a different diameter, the calipers are different from previous models and both calipers mount in front of the...

    Will it fit: SVO MC with a 5.0 booster and modern driveline cable clutch cable ?

    It's real simple. You machine the large center hole out and slide the rotor onto the back side of the hub and install longer wheel studs --much like the early Ford disc brake setups were designed.

    Will it fit: SVO MC with a 5.0 booster and modern driveline cable clutch cable ?

    The bad part may possibly be the 2003-up rotor's shallower thickness --1.77" vs. the earlier 2.59" thickness. A rotor with a thinner hat is going to mount further away from the spindle's upright when mounted to the face of a 5-lug hub. This will position the friction surfaces of the rotor...

    Will it fit: SVO MC with a 5.0 booster and modern driveline cable clutch cable ?

    A 2000 Crown Vic rotor is 12.44" in diameter and 1.105" thick across the friction surfaces. The height [from the inboard friction surface of the rotor to the surface of the hat] is 2.59". http://partimages2.genpt.com/partimages/625844.jpg A 2003-present Crown Vic rotor has the same...

    Will it fit: SVO MC with a 5.0 booster and modern driveline cable clutch cable ?

    This is the disc/drum MC for the '84/'85 Ranger you mentioned, but they have a 15/16" bore diameter. Overall MC length is ~7½" long from mounting flange to tip. http://partimages2.genpt.com/partimages/70494.jpg This is an aluminum disc/drum MC from an '85 Crown Vic. Ports are on the...

    Will it fit: SVO MC with a 5.0 booster and modern driveline cable clutch cable ?

    Larger bore means more fluid displacement but less pressure output per given amount of input force on the brake pedal [of a given pedal ratio] and vise-versa. A larger bore MC has less pedal travel than a smaller bore but requires more effort to actuate than a smaller bore MC. The area of...

    Will it fit: SVO MC with a 5.0 booster and modern driveline cable clutch cable ?

    The Mk VII/SVO 4-wheel disc MC and 5.0L booster will be a tight fit on a '67/'68, but will just clear the shock tower if you grind/radius the left front corner of the "snout" sticking out the front of the Mk VII MC. This same setup will definitely not work in '65/'66 models due to the shape of...

    My experience with front disc brake conversion (discbrakeswap.com)

    I have the 7/16"-24, 1/2"-20 and 9/16"-18 fittings [new] available for those needing these size fittings for 3/16" diameter brake tubing. These are direct-connection fittings that don't require the use of adapters. --just slide them onto the tubing, double flare the line, and they connect...

    Crane's 1968 Mustang Restomod

    As to be expected I am looking for a way to convert my car to 5 lug so I can use my new rims. I was looking around on Craigslist and saw the following ad: Quote: "I have a complete 5 lug front disc brake set up for $250. I also have a 5 lug drum set up for $75 I also have a 5 lug 8 in rear...

    Question about rim/rearend width

    I see by the photo, in link below, that your car's 8-inch rear has the old style weaker '62-'66 8-inch 3rd member, as evidenced by the lack of additional ribs you would find on the face of the '67-'80 model 8-inch 3rd members. http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f400/nicktomstew/untitled4.jpg...

    C8OE 2V head code?? where is it?

    If you're asking about a "2V" or "4V" code being cast into the head, to my knowledge only the factory '68 Mustang GT 302s with came with the "4V" casting in the area of the rocker arms. Otherwise, all other regular 2V heads didn't have any designations cast into them other than the part...

    Residual pressure valve placement?

    In original early Ford applications, the RPV was installed in the port(s) of the MC just under the seat where the hard line fitting would screw in. In most parts stores, current replacement MCs for early disc/drum or drum/drum applications generally don't come with RPVs installed anymore --even...

    4100 1.08 Carb Question

    I've had several Autolite 4100s and still have one 4100 out in the barn, but I haven't run a carb in a long time. Best I can remember, the 1.08 4100 was a 470 CFM unit. The Hi Po 289s got a 480 CFM 4100, and the 1.12 version was a 600 CFM carburetor. You might check with Pony Carburetors...

    02 gt pbr calipers rather than cobras calipers on a 65
