Can someone tell me what the brake booster push rod should be set to on a '73 Front disk brake system? I have a '69 but it's retrofitted with Dr. Diff's front disk conversion kit. It's been on a few years and this year the brakes were spongy so I bled them. The brake pedal travels quite a bit...

I've got a knock and I have no idea where I should start troubleshooting. See video description for details. It only happens at idle and is way more pronounced when cold. Thank you for any help.

Engine is a 383, I have the Comp Cams XE275HL which has .525" of lift. Engine has been in the car running great since 2012. I could've sworn when I bought the heads that I looked over everything that needed to be done in order to run with my combo. I changed out the locks and keepers to 10...

I always thought a lot of valve train noise was normal for BBs, though mine always seemed excessive. Decided to pull the valve covers and poke around today, I'm a novice and learned everything I know from here, youtube, and books. I noticed the roller rockers have quite a bit of side to side...

At some point this weekend the urethane top cap on my adjustable pinion snubber decided to fall off. It was from Mancini Racing MRE23502, I sent them an email last week and tried calling but I just sit on hold. Could be they are at home due to COVID-19. Does anyone know if just the top cap can...

Some of you might remember last Summer my wife kissed a tree with the front fender of my Roadrunner. Total damage was somewhere around $3800 give or take. I ended up having to pay the $500 deductible plus about $1k out of pocket since State Farm was only willing to pay up to a $50/hour shop...

Hi everyone! Hope you all had a good holiday. These few days off gave me some tinkering time. I've got a trans leak I'm tracking down and since I had the shift linkage off I figured it would be a good time to replace what I had on there with the correct linkage. However I dont know what the...

Is there anything more pissening then when an easy small job takes you forever because nothing seems to go right? Yesterday all I wanted to do was lube up all my joints, went to Harbor Freight to get a new grease gun because mine was leaking all over the place and I wanted a pistol grip one...

I know there are no options for the cap replacement but has anyone figured out a way to makes these seal again once the gasket no longer does it's job? Is there a new gasket available? If there is how is it replaced? My cap has an integrated dipstick and its all riveted, it doesn't look like the...

Well, as they say **** happens. My wife side swiped a tree leaving the fairgrounds at a local car show. Damage isn't too extensive, this is of the passenger side fender. My question though is should I claim this on my insurance? I've got State Farm and it's a classic policy. If I did what would...

I'm clearing out some parts from my Roadrunner. Most parts are for 68 - 70 B bodies. All prices are negotiable. Parts located in Utah 68 Big Block 383/440 valve covers (two of the engine harness clips on passenger side cover are broken) - SOLD Sparton horns hi/lo - SOLD A/C 4 groove crank...

After reading Cranky's thread about his current home situation it got me thinking about mine. My wife and I just recently had another baby, a boy and that makes a boy and girl and I'm done. Planning on getting fixed in a couple months. We've been married almost 9 years which I think in today's...

So a few weeks ago I diagnosed a clunk in my steering/suspension to a loose steering gear box. I had the car up on jacks today so I could start messing with my transmission leak (Got a new O-ring for the dipstick hopefully that fixes it since the last one I used just came from the Harbor Freight...

I just upgraded to disk brakes so I've got a lot of front drum brake stuff I no longer need. Everything has only seen three seasons of driving probably 1k miles or so. The backing plates and spindles were powder coated black, Stainless steel braided lines, master cylinder and booster, drums were...

Hey guys I just wanted to make sure I was going to attempt to do this right. Working on my Roadrunner, it's got a federal style power steering pump. The fluid is dirty/milky and needs to be flushed. To do this I would just disconnect the return line at the pump, stick in a container and continue...

So my wife texted me this morning and said she took the car to work. I've told her in the past I don't really want her taking it to work because I don't trust it in at her works parking lot, it's small and crowded. Then she texts me and tells me oh it's raining :angryfire::angryfire::angryfire...

Hey Guys I'm having a fluid contamination issue. So I noticed a few weeks ago my car was pulling to the right upon braking, to the point that it would change lanes if I didn't fight it. Scared the shiz out of me the first time it happened. So I checked my master cylinder and the forward section...

Hey guys, So a while back I posted about my dyno results with the 383 and mentioned I was getting what I assumed was valve float at around 5k rpm. It was suggested to change my springs as I didn't do that when I bought my stealth heads all I did was upgrade the locks and retainers to the 10*...

I hooked my car up to a dyno this weekend. I thought by HP numbers were going to be a bit higher but maybe this is where she should be. These numbers are not corrected for anything they are as exact as they can be to the rear wheels. I definitely have a little more tuning to do as at idle my...

I've got an issue where sometimes my voltmeter will read 0 or just low like 12v or so. I can jiggle my key in the ignition switch and it'll jump back up to 14v. Obviously the issue is in the ignition switch but the car starts fine and runs great so it is just an indication issue or am I really...
