Getting rid of all the slop basically boils down to replacing every connection with a hiem joint. The z-bar pivots are usually ok as they are. The problem with keeping the over center spring on a diaphram clutch is at high rpm the clutch may not engage. The pressure from the spring and the...

The point of the hoist is NOT to have to crawl under the car !!!

Unfortunately I didn't take any photos. I set it up so the hydraulics were under the front of the car. I had the front arms extended as far forward as they'd go. I had the rear end (a nice heavy Dana) installed so there'd be as much weight as possible at the rear. The rear of the car was...

These things are not meant to be mobile. Occasional maneuvering - sure, but that's about it. If you do have to move it, raise it up a bit first - for some reason its a "little" easier to move.

MD6XP ... yes, I used one under my '69 RR. I was very useful to strip the car and do some mods as well as to do the full reassembly this past year. HOWEVER, they aren't the handiest thing now that the car is finished. Access to the middle underside is very restrictive. In my case the car sits...

I recently did something similar but don't recall which tab I used. However its easy enough to figure out with a test light or meter.

I have an issue just safely backing into my shop with only one side mirror and rear view mirror. I line it up with one side of the garage door and I put a block for the rear wheel to hit when I'm far enough back. That said, just stick a block where you want to stop. I can't see getting it close...

What sort of lift ??

Steam is steam ... anything that makes steam and is easy to handle will work. I used a clothes steamer I borrowed from a friend.

Good point.

440Source pistons are measured on the large flat surface - NOT the bottom of the dish or any raised portion. Yes, you want to measure on the pin centerline or close to it - if that means at the edge of the piston that's fine. FWIW the pistons on my 526 are .016 out of the hole - they should...

Exactly !! And things like LED lights and/or installing relays on your headlight circuit actually REDUCE the load on the ammeter.

Yeah, you DON'T want C-body brackets !!

Just keep scouring swapmeets BUT in MANY years of many swapmeets I haven't seen many decent pieces. In my opinion they seem to get damaged more by the guys taking them off and hauling them around than they would just left on the cars.

Can't help you there. You may have to keep an eye out for good used vents.

Is this an a/c dash ??

Just order a set from Dr. Diff. https://www.doctordiff.com/disc-brake-slider-caliper-mounts-backets-for-11-3-4-rotor-upgrade.html I'm not sure there are casting numbers on them. Usually you just eyeball them to match the photo in post #2. They've gotten pretty scarce so you'd be extremely...

Are you asking because you want a set ??

The fork moves forward because you haven't taken the slop out with the adjustment rod ! Turn the nut on the rod till the throwout just contacts the diaphram then back it off so you have about 1/8 of slop at the pivot end of the fork - which will give about the same at the diaphram. And you...

LOL !! Well it was an option !!
