Alright, apologies for the lateness in a response here. I got busy and also went on a journey coming up with a fix. In my endeavors to offset the seat, I ended up breaking the seat sliders. I will admit, this is due to a combination of ignorance and frustration. I ended up buying a new seat...

I’m going to be getting some universal seat belts from Summit as a test this weekend. The goal is to see with the removal of the retractor and moving to more of a standard “fixed” belt, I can free up the room to move the seat straight back. I’ll report back on my findings. I’ll also try to get...

Appreciate the info on the wheel! I’ll check it out! Haha I might just do that!

Thank you for the info! This will definitely help, the only thing is I still need to clear the seatbelt retractor. I would like to be able to just drill a new whole, but the car is finished and painted, so I don’t want to be very invasive.

I have a 1970 Cuda that is in its stock trim. It’s got bucket seats. I’m trying to get some more leg room, which I know has always been a topic of discussion for e bodies. Currently the wheel is touching the top of my legs and working the clutch or gas is impossible without having to spread my...

Thank you for the info! That was very helpful. I’m unsure whether this unit is factory or a newer Passion one. I’ll be taking a look at it tomorrow and try to get some more understanding of what I have.

I have a 1970 Cuda that has an A833 in it. The previous owner stated when it was rebuilt, it was converted to an overdrive. It’s been leaking like crazy recently and I need to get all new seals for it. I haven’t dropped the transmission yet. How do I know what the proper gasket kit is for my...

Thank you very much for your help! I greatly appreciate the info!

Thank you so much for the information! That’s incredibly helpful to know! Have you personally used the MC36283 or the MC36307? If I end up going that route, I’d like to know if they work well or are on the sketchy side.

Hello all, I have a 1970 Cuda with disc fronts and drum rears. It has power brakes as well. The master cylinder has decided it’s done, so I need to get a new one. Does anyone have info on what is the correct master cylinder I need? I don’t care about originality, I just want my brakes to work...

I just got done rebleeding the MC and all four corners of the car again. I adjusted the pushrod again. I felt I measured it correctly the first time, but when I hit the pedal, my foot went straight to the floor. I rechecked my measurements and they seemed to be dead on, but I guess the pushrod...

They have indeed been corrected, but I appreciate you pointing that out!

The angst is definitely driving me. I’m not entirely sure the history on the master cylinder. I have some paperwork from the guy we got it from so I can check back on those as well as look at the numbers on the bottom of the master cylinder.

I went to bleed the master cylinder and noticed that as I pushed the plunger on the back end that’s normally moved by the push rod, the fluid in the front reservoir (rear brakes) would have fluid move through it early on when pushing. It took a bit until the rear reservoir (front brakes) started...

To add to my previous post, I checked for any leaks and I wasn’t able to find any.
