yes, it rubs slightly. Enough to rub the paint off but my opinion is when brake is applied, the pad slides towards front of car...so no pressure at hub.
I think it settles back down when released and rides the hub lightly.
i installed a disc conversion last summer (MDC62DC) with 11" disc on 1967 Satellite.
I'm getting an intermittent grinding noise at left front when applying brakes.
Pulled and checked to see something obvious but only see the pad scraping the outer hub when in freewheel. Nothing out of the...
@pnora ,
i have no issue blocking crossover. That's what i have currently.
Might try gaskets from Hughes engines that are .031 thick instead of .060 as I may have a slight mis-match between heads and Eddie performer intake that is allowing oil to suck into the right bank. Need to try that and...
i have 2843675 318 heads(68-71) that i'm about to order intake gaskets. I suspect an intake leak pulling oil.
Previously i installed the Fel pro 1213 gaskets.
Maybe i'm getting crosseyed and reading too much but i've read all pre-1989 head are 2BBL and as such..would I use the Fel pro 1243...
I can't find a reference in the electrical diagrams to this relay on my 67 Satellite, mounted off inner fender.
It looks alot like the stater relay that's at the firewall but has a wire to positive battery side and an inline fuse to the headlight harness?
@72RoadrunnerGTX ,
not sure i understand. While having ignition in on position, i noticed my now tied together red/black ammeter wires (bolted/taped) got warm.(maybe 100 degrees). Battery was charged, headlights on, so full battery voltage is passing thru this connection.
I would expect some...
@493 Mike ,
i'm running a 60amp alt. Previously, i checked, cleaned and greased the alt and batt connections at the bulkhead connector.
The ammeter connections looked good but I decided to tie the eyelets together with a nut/bolt and wrap well with elec. tape.
When i say warm, maybe 100 deg. at...
I decided I wanted to do the easier ammeter bypass in my 67 Sat by bolting together the feeds and taping up really good.
My question is would you expect them to get warm?
Secondary question, if I wanted to wire ammeter back up, is there a sequence putting it back on stud, meaning is there an...
appreciate all comments. being this is the 1st time getting into the front end suspension on my 67 Satellite, I would have inadvertently given the alignment shop stock specs from the service manual.
From what i've read there's things to look for when going thru this process...ie, like setting...
i just did a manual conversion on my 67 Satellite. I bought the Right Stuff kit for my application. The only thing i did wrong was initially set the calipar to the rear (according to instructions) and it interfered with the shock and caused loss of brakes. Switching the calipar to the forward...
past few weeks i upgraded my drums with a Right Stuff disc conversion which included lower ball joint. After disconnecting the steering linkage and reconnecting my steering wheel was off kilter.
I realized that something is not right and frontend is more squirrely than previous so I'm going to...
just to update, mounting calipers forward eliminates the interference. I have told The Right Stuff of the dangerous situation when rear mounted and when interference occurs you get loss of brakes and that they should note do not mount rearward for 66-67 satellite/belvedere applications.
Thought...
no sway bar. These are 11" rotors.
Mounting to the front may be the solution...just need to make sure hose is ok and doesn't get stretched at full lock around shock.
