    HELP-crank pulley trouble

    I have a 68 302 4bbl. The crank pulley wobbles noticeably. I removed it yesterday and checked it with a straight edge, it does not seem to be bent. The harmonic balancer does not wobble, but has what looks like rubber flaking off of it, no doubt its the original. Is that causing the...

    Need Help Shipping a 64 Mustang Convertible

    I havent used them, but 3 years ago I had my '68 shipped from Los Angeles to San Antonio for around $800.00 from a company out of Fla. Triple A , I think. Make sure you ask about a time frame, once I had shipped a Jeep, it took 3 months to reach me, it was a nightmare.

    braking issue

    What MONK said is what happened to me too. Someone had installed the right caliper on the left wheel, and vice-versa, so the bleeders were positioned at 4 oclock instead of 12 oclock. . You can bleed them all day long, lots of fluid comes out, but the air is trapped in a pocket ABOVE...
