Decent shape. $10 plus cost of the ride. or trade for 2 door handles.

So, I swapped my accelerator pump cam and checked my timing. It was set at 6 degrees. I went back to 12, which helped then back to about 18-20. That engine loves the timing. Now every time I go full throttle in 1 the tires just spin. Before it would only spin if I dumped the clutch at higher...

Update: The car is running and driving. It drives, stops and handles awesome. The steering is light but that is ok for a cruiser. The Holley is giving me some grief trying to tune it but nothing too bad. It stumbles under acceleration so I will be increasing the pump cam or delaying the...

I am over by Lompoc on Vandenberg Air Force Base. An hour north of Santa Barbara. Quite a drive from Lake Elsinore

Details are pretty simple. General parts/price list: Hydroboost from 01 Mustang GT - $110 on ebay Master cylinder from the same - $35 on rock auto metric (forget size) to 3/16th adapters x2 - $5 at O'reilly's High pressure hose from P/S pump to hydroboost - $50 at local hydraulic hose...

We got it running, until we found the massive vaccuum leak. We used a carb spacer from a Ford because we had it on hand but the mating surface was different. It had a port for the brake booster that required a bigger surface to seal properly. At that point it was 10 PM so we called it a night...

FINALLY got the clutch bled. Using a hydraulic throwout bearing and a S-10 master. I ended up taking the M/C out to bench bleed it. Due to the angle it sits at an air bubble stays trapped regardless of how much I bled it. Took everything apart and bench bled everything. Good throw and a firm...

...and the transmission is back out for about the 11th time. The hydro lines on the throwout bearing were going to interfere with the clutch. A couple of 45 elbow should have fixed it but then I dropped one into the bellhousing. My 5 year old son couldn't even reach it so out the transmission...

SSmith440, I PM'd you.

SSmith440, I am interested in selling. I emailed you but it probably got caught by your spam filter.

Thanks. It has been a very fun build, though not without it's share of issues. Only reason you will know it has a hot engine will be the dual 3" dumps in front of the axle. That kind of sound gives everything away.

Driveshaft is on the way. My brother is on vacation but he left some money for me to try to finish the car. Once the Driveshaft gets here we can take it in for exhaust and run it long enough to tune it.

I just finished Hydroboost on the Dart 440 as well as putting a Chevy Hydroboost unit on my '92 Dodge W250 Cummins. I haven't been able to use it out but here is some info I came across...

sorry it has been a while since I posted here is a bigger update. We have been doing a lot of work. Here is the trunk pan. There are small rust holes but over all it is solid New speaker mocked in. The PO cut a hole in the dash for a radio so we will be putting in an Alpine single din radio...

Found one. Mods can you delete? IDK how.
