I had a number of issues converting my ’63 to power & disks, part of that was an incorrect kit from SSBC. I don’t know if your car has a bell-crank arrangement, but a couple things to keep in mind is the MC being compatible with a power vs manual brake setup, the pedal ratio, again there’s a...

Best of luck to you all the way around!

There may be other causes as mentioned, but in my case replacing the pitman solved it. Sort of job best done on a lift using compressed air tools. Used a ball joint separator to remove the old arm. At my age, after two neck fusions, a laminectomy, and a few other surgeries to repair...

Was thinking some shimming was necessary, but my friend having more experience landed on trying a new pitman. Made sense looking at how it looked saggy. Not a big cost and he’s nicely equipped to do the work. The vendor I mentioned said his are made in the USA and not much price difference than...

Had posted this exact problem a year or so ago on my '63 mentioning the violin too. This was after installing a FFII box. When on a lift we noticed the pitman zerk was sheared off and some marring on the torsion bar, the center link looked slightly unlevel. We tried a new pitman and it solved...

Just had to do the new version yesterday. Well my wife did it. I rarely use my laptop for anything other than emails and online searches and ordering. Since retiring no more need Word, Excel, PP. One day I should delete the 1000's of work files, reports, photos, but never think of it.

Since you said keep it mopar and b-body, a '70 GTX or RR vert 4spd. As some have included others I'll jump on: '70 Cuda vert, 4spd #1 or '70 Challenger vert 4spd, with the RR/GTX close 2nd. Had a Cuda vert 4spd BB, sadly let it go 50-years ago. Deep regrets.

Unique lady with a special passion proving to some of the experts in her field that they weren't as fully informed as they thought. All the best to her wherever she is.

Get a vacuum gauge with kit so you can check your vacuum at idle and cruising, use the kit to check the booster, also make sure there are no vac leaks anywhere else, valve is working, no kinked or collapsed hoses. I installed a reserve tank, but they have limited effect. In other words, since...

Welcome from a fellow WI-nite, fantastic restoration. I restored my 1st car with the wisdom and talent my dear-departed dad had, learning a ton from him. What I found most priceless, looking back 40-years now, were those months working with my dad rebuilding the car.

Was a great movie. I thought how nice it would have been if Weaver had a BB mopar or what Kowalski had. Not that many years after that flick came out, my first job out of college provided a company vehicle as 70% of the time used it for the job. Puny ’78 Malibu with the 6 motor, later a Volare...

I rarely go to an auto wash with my daily drivers, part of it is taking the drive to get to one. I rinse them off at home sometimes using a light power-washer I have and will do a good washing in spring and fall including waxing. For my old ride I wash it about twice a year when I want to apply...

I'm a rookie (1st water reel) so will find out. Plan to bring mine in during the winter, it's not exactly lightweight. At my age, three-years into the future being still able seems like a hope and a blessing, lol.

Was a great actor, director, producer, king of cool looks. Some outstanding movies. Sure made his mark with Sundance. Had it all; though not entirely, lost two children. He was a self-deprecating sort, actually said his looks could be a handicap, lol, some people have larger problems. Living...

That's a great idea, ask why I know, lol.
