    62 Fury needing opinion on trim

    Have your strips wrapped. Don't like the colour. Remove the wrap and try another colour.

    Factory 4 piston bendix calipers

    Do yourself a personal favor and locate a caliper rebuilder near you. They will dismantle, clean and inspect the unit and if still useable, hone, polish and rebuild them with the right seals. If the bores are good but the pistons crap, they can replace them. Cost is usually very low and you can...

    Yet Another Proportioning Valve Question

    I think those instructions are a bit vague. A P valve usually goes directly after the port at the master dedicated to rear brakes and one line runs to the rear of the car and into the left/right distribution block which is usually mounted on the top of the axle tube. It is also a wise idea to...

    This 5 qt Mr Mopar oil pan will fit a 64 Belvedere??? Anyone use this?

    You'll most likely have to forgo an aftermarket windage tray for that project but if you install a lower girdle above the pan, it'll do the same job. If the pan has a windage tray built in make sure none of the rotating assembly touches.

    Convertor stall selection

    I have exactly the same engine with a heavily built transmission and PST recommended 3100 with 2.93 ratio. Couldn't be happier. At 630hp I achieve good hook-up, cool transmission temps and pretty good road mileage.

    Sweptline electrical issue

    I suspect the turn signal switch or associated wiring especially if they worked before but stopped for some reason. There's a singal wire for each corner of the car and I doubt all four grounds would be bad. First I'd check to see if you have power coming down the wires to the respective lights...

    Fan nicking shroud

    First verify where the fan is hitting. There should be "witness" marks left on the inner shroud. Verify that the fan blades are equidistant from the shroud all the way around using one blade only and spinning the fan with the belt off. If not, the position of the marks will tell you which way...

    WTB Saginaw power steering cooler for 68-70 b body

    Any "small stacked plate" cooler will do just make sure it's in the return line not the pressure side. Like this: https://www.summitracing.com/int/parts/der-13200/overview/

    Brake Pedal lazy return

    I believe shortening the push rod was not the best of choices. As you should be aware, the master has a built in spring that sends the internal spool back to it's resting position. A radical cam only lessens vacuum and you would have little to no assist except at higher rpm's and during...

    Brakes

    You mention that you have an adjustable proportioning valve (I think that's what you are refering to in your post) so you can try a little experiment to isolate the problem. With the valve almost completely closed, it isolates the rear brakes from the front and you will have the bulk of the...

    Water pump restoration with better impeller

    It's not the flow specifically, it's the flow at a certain pressure through a given opening ( the thermostat ). Higher pressure in the block result in less micro bubbles on the cooling jacket wall which results in better cooling because the air bubbles can't form. Remember, the temperature at...
