    I also concur--- check the hoses-- did the same thing when I did my serpentine belt swap... though i managed to avoid the flying wheel

    A little progress I've made

    1320- It's actually the mc that came with my Baer Sport kit.... it is off of a 94-95 mustang. No fitment issues, but I did have to bend two lines to run from the ports back under the mc to the stock lines as the new mc's ports are on the wrong side.

    A little progress I've made

    A little progress I've made ~PICS!!~ Well... it's been about 8 months since my car came off the road- I've finally found time to work on it a a little. Mostly it's just been put into a storage unit (now my 'garage') and I've been working on taking out the dash, wiring, and re-wiring the EFI ...

    # G alternator question

    As far as the wiring, most will either just tie it up out of the way or trace it back to terminate the wires at their source. I personally had to modify my bracket, but I had already switched to serpentine setup. As far as I know not much should have to be done as the mounting points are...

    AUTOZONE Engines

    I currently work at autozone--- most of our reman engines come from recon. Same company that summit deals in. I forgot what all was new and what was used, but the store should have a catalog in the back from the vendor about that stuff. And believe it or not- you can actually order a 347 ford or...

    Swede-ified 3-link design... oppinions?

    Well, here it is.. I've been thinking about this for a while and finally got to put some virtual pen to paper. Sorry for crappy quality as I suck at photoshop.... had to use MSPaint. Anyways... the design is supposed to utilize the stock forward spring perches with a bolt/weld in upper...

    You may all openly mock me starting now. Or "how I blew close to 2 grand for nothing

    Wow, I feel for ya man. At least you got some kick ass parts now that you might have bought later anyways.. If it makes ya feel better. I blew a thermostate gasket one day, ended up spending about 600 in total for a cutom/garage/junk yard build serpentine setup while I was at it... :shrug...

    Non-stang rear caliper question

    are you talking about capitol city imports on congress? as far as I know they have no 280s or 300s.... asked them for a distributer and w/o checking said "no- none of those cars". I have to be honest and say I got the feeling it was cause I was a gringo, I know of one yard that has at least 2...

    Non-stang rear caliper question

    Hey everyone... sorry for the non-stang post but I got a problem with my daily driver I need some advice on. I picked up this 83 280zx for a daily driver a couple weeks back. Always had no parking brake hold to it. Inspected it and of course failed. Through some new pads in after adjusting the...

    Baer Brakes

    I don't think it will fit with the stock booster.. if you use one I think the 4 cyl fox body one will fit. if I remember I think I measured it and it was close but fit. At least in my '70 The Swede

    Baer Brakes

    I love my Baers! That is, when I got to drive the car with them on. Great package, went on with absolutely no issues. I went with 12" sport kit... thought that was about what i'd ever need. I didn't use the proportioning valve since I still had the rear drums, worked like a charm. Will add it...

    Updating alt?

    Or you could forgo the extra wiring for the 91 alt and do the 3G swap from a 94/95 stang. Only one wire to be connected (red/grn) to the new regulator on the alt. White wire off of the VR goes to stator, and yellow/wht goes to B+ terminal. You could buy a new alt from a parts store and take back...

    headlights go off and on?

    More than likely it's your headlight switch... just too many amps drawn through it over time. A quick fix is to pick up a headlight switch for like a 67-68 couger that had the quad-headlights. These are rated at a higher amperage than the normal stang ones. The relays are also a good idea...

    Brake Guru's...Need a Bit Of Advice.

    gram, I think what DB was saying, and I'm pretty sure I can corroborate it, is that the late model 4cyl booster is smaller in diameter than the stock 70 one. I believe it is only about 7" in diamter compared to I think 8 or 9. I've heard of this, I think from ultrastang's site and from others...

    Bypass hose size?

    If my parts-monkey-ness is correct, at least the kelly-springfield, autozone part number should be s-3009. It is 5/8 with a 90 and comes longer than needed for 302s... should be perfect for the 351. Just a guess, try the bypass for the 302 and see how long it is and it might fit.? :shrug...

    dual oil filter

    Just browsing and i ran across this thread. Here's the parts-monkey chime in... Fram HP-1 is the same size as the FL1-A a lot of us are used to buying. It's their 'race' filter. Much better than the extraguard POS that most people buy, but still a Fram. You can use either one, if you are...

    The RATTLER Lives! 1966 w/ 17" Bullitts!

    Awesome looking car man! Love the fitment of the wheels, and glad to see you are getting your daughter started right. :) Couple questions if ya don't mind... How do you like the JMC master cylinder? Is it really almost like power brakes? What kind of hydraulic kit did you go with for your...

    best price on vintage wheel works wheels?

    Call up vintage wheel works and ask if they have any cosmetically blemished versions of the wheels you want. They had a big sale a year or two ago with those, I got a set of v48s for I think it was about 300$ off the list price.... was a while ago and my receipts are all packed up... it's an...

    EFI conversion help!!!

    I got my harness from a 93 GT for 100$, 200$ I've seen go for really good stuff, so if any of it looks rather worn try to talk him down. Ford Fuel Injection is great... I got through most of the re-wiring of my harness in about 3 weeks with going to school and working. Shipping from them...
