I would recommend you upgrade that MC to the dual for safety, many here will agree. The only reason to keep that style is if your going concourse resto....IMOFinally got this thing off. What a pain. Any tips for installing the new one (other than do it before the dash and everything is installed)??

You are going to need a socket, swivel and extension and some flexibility in you upper torso lol. Put the mc in and get the pushrod bolt started to hold it. The lower two nuts are easy, the upper two need the swivel and extension. Stick the nut in the socket with some pipe dope so it doesn't fall out and disappear behind the carpet.
And I've been running a single reservoir mc on my 62 for years. Keep it maintained and make sure the emergency brake is adjusted correctly.
Thanks! I didn't think of using the pipe dope. I'm probably one of the least flexible people out there, lol
My youngest grandson is 17. We can not even get him to work on his own car. His 7 year old little sister is more apt to help do something like that. The great grandsons at not quit old enough yet but the oldest likes to follow his grandpa around. His mom gets mad at them quite often. What a great little guy you have there and how fast they grow up.I use my 8 year old grandson when I need to work in tight spots like that ... he LOVES to help grandpa and I can walk pain free the following morning. WIN WIN!!!
YUP!I tape my u-joint some so it doesn't flop around and a 12" extension. 493 mike meant same ?
