I assume the washer is there to provide a bit of “squish”?

Thanks guys. And which way up should the new seal go?

Hi everyone searched but couldn’t find anything. On my 65’ coronet the PO fitted a rebuilt 326” and torqueflite trans that was supposedly rebuilt. I had a fairly major leak from the front half near the pan that I identified as a selector/shift shaft seal. I took the linkage off but the shaft...

Hi all, still working on this. Have ordered a 3.53 ring and pinion and a sure grip for shits and giggles. Also looking at rear springs for a bit more of a planted feel. Will revert back once I have something to talk about! Must say not hugely impressed with the trans and it does feel like it’s...

Thanks for all your help demystifying this for me guys! Super helpful. I think I will just save up the pennies and perhaps price up a set of XHD 66+ or SS a-body springs and hangers. Either that or speak will the local spring shop and see what they can do. Just took the plunge on a new R&P and...

ESPO have said theyre closing down....

Thanks - So does this mean i can simply order two of those listed?

Hi All, Looking to buy a pair of S/S or HD springs from the rear of my 65 coronet. I Understand this was a changeover year, the springs having a 21" front and 35" rear section. Most sites arent very helpful as they suggest using 66+ springs and new front hangers (moving the front eye mount...

Thanks Mike. I Assume this requires relocation of the fuel tank? Do you have a link to the anti-sway bar?

And i assume Watts linkage is similarly not required?

I was thinking something like seen here: Quick Changeover: Adding a Halibrand Rearend We have a fair few corners round here, so little improvements make a difference. I Know the steering is vague but through the twisties round here my car constantly has the feeling of stepping out at the back...

Hi All, I want to tighten up the rear end on my 65 coronet, and am considering fitting a panhard bar/rod. The issue is that the shock angles and tightness of the parts makes getting a decent length a challenge. Has anyone successfully fitted/fabricated one? One option i am considering is a...

Hi, no need for 110mph top end. But comfortable 70-80cruise is more than acceptable. Rear tyres are 27” What’s the approx rev limit on the motor? North of 3k feels uncomfortable!

Hi all, sorry had some issues that stopped me making progress. The timing definitely helped, much smoother and generally more fun. The rear ratio is 2.7-2.9 ish from measurement so not ideal. Issue is I don’t want to lose top end? 60mph cruise is already pretty prohibitive in the uk with...

So I’ve trial fitted a 30ohm resister n place of the sender and battery earth and the gauge heads up and then settled lower at just under 1/4 tank. I’m not too bothered about accuracy (I would have thought it would be more like 1/2) and I’m really only worried about running out. That said, I’m...
