    2 inch drop spindles

    Yep. I already have the disc upgrade on the car with the A-body spindles. thx

    2 inch drop spindles

    Yeah, I tried comparing pictures of a stock (disc) spindle and the dropped spindle, and the differences are more than just the raised axle stub. It appears the caliper is clocked a little for clearance. Currently, my outer tie rod end is pretty close to the rim/tire, so I'm not sure there will...

    2 inch drop spindles

    haha... was looking for the right term, realized after I posted it that I was bass ackwards. I guess "loosen the adjusters" would have been better. thanks. wondering if anyone has had any issues with tie rod end clearance issues, I guess they move the ball joint mount up a little? I called...

    2 inch drop spindles

    I did a search, and there are too many articles that come up so if this is redundant, sorry. Magnum Force and Performance Online both have 2 inch drop spindles, they look about the same, similar price, has anyone successfully installed them on a 62-65 B body? I have the 15x7 cop wheels on the...

    plug and play headlight conversion kit

    That's a nice looking harness, unlike other harnesses I've seen they only have you plug it into one of the headlamp circuits... usually it's both circuits, but I guess it doesn't need to be. Thanks for sharing that... I've been looking for one and Painle$$ wiring wants over $100 for theirs!

    Sad day for America ..Chris Kyle..Special Forces record-setting soldier is dead!

    I'm not saying the guy deserved it, not by any means - so please don't read more into this; but he was taking PTSD victims to a gun range. Just doesn't sound like a wise thing to do, especially considering who killed him and how. RIP, Chris Kyle....

    Disc brake swap - master cylinder question.

    haha, yeah, that was funny that I was out making that adjustment and went for a long test drive and came back to share the good news and the solution was right there! I've adjusted the valve as they suggest: about mid-way and then adjust from there. But I went for a drive, freeway, side roads...

    Disc brake swap - master cylinder question.

    OMG... well you were posting this as I was out in the garage doing... guess what? I pulled the MC off and turned the nut on the pushrod in about three turns and went for a test drive and I couldn't get the brakes to hold, but I could get the fronts to lock up under hard braking. I did several...

    Disc brake swap - master cylinder question.

    Well, I'm at a total loss. Two different master cylinders, two different adjustable proportioning valves, same problem. I removed the factory junction block thinking maybe that was it, same problem. I removed the proportioning valve and it was ten times worse - I was facing down hill and came to...

    Disc brake swap - master cylinder question.

    I've looked at his stuff before and didn't see antything for the rear conversion. The kit I viewed on ebay is only $350 complete, plus $50 shipping, and all parts are new, so it's not a bad price at all.

    Warning, kind of funny

    I had a friend trying to sell his 68 Road Runner for $14k years ago, he was contacted by a guy who said his 'client' was in South Africa and how people there love American muscle cars. A 'representative' sent a BofA cashier's check to him for $18k, with instructions to cash the check and use the...

    Would you do it again .....Marriage

    I heard of a story that went kinda like this: the guy met a girl and after a couple of dates he could tell she was genuinely interested in cars. So he took her with him to test drive an old Challenger that he was thinking of buying, and she climbed in the back while the two men talked up front...

    Disc brake swap - master cylinder question.

    Thanks, I'm going to pull the drums off this weekend and see if I can figure anything out. I really hate the fact that most shops around here won't touch anything older than 1980, and those that will won't touch the brakes because they aren't 100% stock. I need to find an old shop that works...

    Disc brake swap - master cylinder question.

    Oh, I see, sorry. I took the car to a dirt road and at low speed slammed on the brakes. The fronts locked and the rears didn't, which makes this whole scenario even more baffling. I'm replacing the rear rubber line this weekend, and will look harder at the rear to try to figure it out. I'm...

    Disc brake swap - master cylinder question.

    I'm not sure if I'd agree that it's the fronts dragging because when I drive the car for about a half hour the rear shoes fry and the brakes are smoking (kind of a tell tale sign it's the rear! LOL) It's gotta be something, and please don't take my responses as disagreeing, just thinking out...

    Disc brake swap - master cylinder question.

    Well, here's the latest: I replaced the adjustable proportioning valve and same problem. I've talked to a couple shops, and send diagrams of my setup and I've been told "everything is done correctly". So I'm going to try to blow out the rear brake like and replace the rear hose. Something's...
