    No Brake Fluid to Driver Side Front Caliper

    That sounds like a block issue to me. You can disassemble it to check the gaskets are installed correctly. Let me know if you get any leaks at the brake switch port. Every block I have tried has leaked from that port (which should be dry) :shrug: I am now thinking of going to an adjustable prop...

    Agreed, Highland Green / Gold is a very nice combo.

    Color Choice on the Fastback- Thoughts

    Thanks, that's the way I feel. No the car won't stand out with a bright color but when people see it it looks great especially with the darker striping.

    Color Choice on the Fastback- Thoughts

    Thanks for posting. I like that color but want something a little more performance oriented (is Chalk a performance oriented color?? IDK). The car has a pretty big cam in it and some power adders so I'm looking for a color that can just speak for itself on the car. That probably makes no sense...

    Help - Brake Distribution Block Leaks at Switch Port

    I've got a short video clip (from my phone) but this website doesn't accept the file extension. I have uploaded to YouTube and placed a link here. View: https://youtu.be/DoDrYe_kSls Hopefully this works. Note I have tried this many times, rebuilt the block, new blocks, with switch in place...

    Help - Brake Distribution Block Leaks at Switch Port

    Thanks but can't be that b/c the new blocks came with new switch. The thing is, brake fluid should not get to that area, it should be staying dry even if the internal piston shifts to one side under a pressure loss situation. This seems to be a pretty common problem but no-one seems to have a...

    Help - Brake Distribution Block Leaks at Switch Port

    Hey All, I am having issues with the brake distribution block leaking at the switch when bleeding the brakes. I did a front drum to disc conversion, switched to a dual bowl master and did the plumbing. I started with a Circa 1970 original distribution block - leaked at switch port when...

    Color Choice on the Fastback- Thoughts

    I agree. The last thing I want to get close to is an Eleanor type look which is why the lighter colour. I was also thinking of wimbledon white for the striping. That said, when I attend car shows the Mustangs there are mostly red, blue, black, white so I want something different. Chalk is kind...

    brake distribution block leak

    Thanks for the update. It's somehow nice to know I'm not alone. I'm thinking of switching to an adjustable proportioning valve. There's some out there that take both lines from the Master Cyl and then after you bleed it the dial is used to dial down the pressure to the rear drums. It still has a...

    brake distribution block leak

    Did you ever get this solved? I am having the same problem and am about to lose my mind. I started with an original equipment block Circa 1970 and it leaked at the switch. Ordered a rebuild kit and rebuilt it, nope still leaked. Took it apart and cecked everything 3x and 3x still leaked. So I...

    Color Choice on the Fastback- Thoughts

    Hey guys, Well it's been many years working on my Fastback and I'm now ready to send it in for paint. I want something a little different and am thinking of a Porsche color called Chalk (aka Crayon) with dark grey Shelby Striping and a dark grey stripe along the sides above the rockers. What...

    Brake distribution block help - Granada swap

    Hey guys, wondering if we have any experts on how to set up the brake distribution block when doing the Granada swap. I think this is right but I'm having a problem. Trying to bleed the brakes but could not get firm pedal. I had a rag below the Master cylinder and the dist block to catch any...

    302HO With Quickfuel Slayer 600 Starting Issues

    Hey Guys, Been a while sine I've been here but with the CV-19 thing going on I have some time. Hope everyone is healthy. I have a 1988 HO302 going in my 65 Fastback. Converted to carburetor with a brand new Quickfuel 600 Slayer on top. Will start but cannot seem to get it running really well...

    Headers for 66 Fastback

    I have Hedman shortys on mine. Clearances are on the tight side but they fit in ok. I did need to "massage" one of the tubes slightly on the pass side head to allow proper access to one of the head bolts. Other than that no issue. I'm running a cable clutch and the cable does run fairly close to...

    Anyone recognize this B&M shifter on a T5

    Not sure if this is the correct place to post this one but I'll start here b/c there's lots of knowledge. I put a T5 in my 65 2+2 and I need to find a shifter arm that will work with the shifter base. It's definately a B&M about 3/4" square with a small recess on the screw side. I don't want to...
