That makes sense, thank you

Yes both vents are in place and connected properly.

No it's the very short one that doesn't enter the trunk.

Why would fuel be coming out of the vent, see arrow in picture? Non-vented cap, stock fuel tank, tank was about 3/4 full. Dripped for a few minutes after I got home and then stopped.

If I eliminate the hold off valve from the system will affect pedal feel?

I have purchased two Inline Tube hold off valves BLK247 and they both leak where the valve threads in to the brass body. Seems like a poor manufacturing process wherever they are made. (China?) I have contacted tech support and they tell me nobody else has had the issue. Does anyone restore the...

I purchased a set a few months ago from Summit. They were terrible quality. The SS was a brown shade not silver like it should be. I returned them and purchased the OER trim rings

Thank you. I purchased the pads from a local company that rebuilds calipers and M/C's. They are organic pads that he had sitting on the shelf for years. I didn't want metallic or semi-metallic pads. Didn't realize that were prone to cracking, thank you again for letting me know that.

I will paint them with "cast iron" spray paint. I would like them to look correct and not rust. Not a show car but I still would like to do the best I can. Thanks for your help.

The same for rotors, calipers and drums?

What color or finish should be used on the front rotors and rear brake drums on a Superbird? Also color/finish for calipers. Thank you in advance

Thank you, this is exactly the issue I'm dealing with. It should have been an easy bolt off/on replacement but...

I'm replacing the master cylinder on my 1970 Superbird. The piston on the old master cylinder was flush with the mounting flange. On the new master cylinder it's sticking out about 3/8". Is this okay? Do I need to adjust he push rod in the power brake booster and make it 3/8" shorter? I'm new to...

I will check it tonight and see if it has a Bendix casting number on it. We have a brake rebuilder nearby that can sleeve it if I have to.
