no, nut wasn't too tight. No rocks or stone caught in there grinding. i did find the bearing cap was loose. Noise is gone but I'll keep an eye on it.

Update: bearings where good. Disassembled and re-assembled and all seems ok. Noise has disapeared.

it was confirmed. Kit is based on 73-76 A-body. Checking bearings this wknd with new ones on hand.

yes, it rubs slightly. Enough to rub the paint off but my opinion is when brake is applied, the pad slides towards front of car...so no pressure at hub. I think it settles back down when released and rides the hub lightly.

i installed a disc conversion last summer (MDC62DC) with 11" disc on 1967 Satellite. I'm getting an intermittent grinding noise at left front when applying brakes. Pulled and checked to see something obvious but only see the pad scraping the outer hub when in freewheel. Nothing out of the...

@pnora , i have no issue blocking crossover. That's what i have currently. Might try gaskets from Hughes engines that are .031 thick instead of .060 as I may have a slight mis-match between heads and Eddie performer intake that is allowing oil to suck into the right bank. Need to try that and...

i have 2843675 318 heads(68-71) that i'm about to order intake gaskets. I suspect an intake leak pulling oil. Previously i installed the Fel pro 1213 gaskets. Maybe i'm getting crosseyed and reading too much but i've read all pre-1989 head are 2BBL and as such..would I use the Fel pro 1243...

Ahhhhh...well, I can remove it now that I have @Crackedback headlight relay.

That's what I figured but don't know what it's doing

I can't find a reference in the electrical diagrams to this relay on my 67 Satellite, mounted off inner fender. It looks alot like the stater relay that's at the firewall but has a wire to positive battery side and an inline fuse to the headlight harness?

The blk/white wire is not original. Thinking it was for a previous radio pwr supply.

Found blk w/white wire connector behind dash not connected to anything. Switched power. Also found this bulb. Ash tray light?

@72RoadrunnerGTX , not sure i understand. While having ignition in on position, i noticed my now tied together red/black ammeter wires (bolted/taped) got warm.(maybe 100 degrees). Battery was charged, headlights on, so full battery voltage is passing thru this connection. I would expect some...

@493 Mike , i'm running a 60amp alt. Previously, i checked, cleaned and greased the alt and batt connections at the bulkhead connector. The ammeter connections looked good but I decided to tie the eyelets together with a nut/bolt and wrap well with elec. tape. When i say warm, maybe 100 deg. at...

I decided I wanted to do the easier ammeter bypass in my 67 Sat by bolting together the feeds and taping up really good. My question is would you expect them to get warm? Secondary question, if I wanted to wire ammeter back up, is there a sequence putting it back on stud, meaning is there an...
