make it yours while keeping the soul of the car is the way to go. When i hit the starter and here that sound of a vintage mopar it puts a smile on my face
i'm dealing with a similar issue with the green bearing failure. I have found the preload spacer that is almost if not exactly like a piece of axel that's about an 1 1/2 wide and looks nothing like the link above, where its a 2 piece button. i'm told i need to remove it so the green bearing...
hey guys was looking for a thread that that has the directions for the removal of the bearing preload button/spacer that sits in the middle of the 8 3/4 pumkin I've tapped on it and it obvious its not gonna slide out easily. it is a posi and i see springs if that helps identify whether its the...
I found it ironic that the same thing happened to Steve and Dave on the 100th episode of roadkill garage, also on the Power Tour. East Coast, but same side. Also new and they only made it a few hundred miles. I wish I knew if they had removed the preload spacer. I'm putting in new one's...
besides the fact that they handlined in without a flex line I thought that they were light weight and I think you could change pads only with pliers and a screw driver. I doubt in my lifetime they will require it though. What drives your dislike?
Update for anybody that cares: As this is only 1 of 2 cars I have that I installed these in I was ordering 2 pairs first for obvious reasons and a spare set. I put a note to the Dr. diff folks that the first set smoked after 500 miles or less and they replied with:
Wilwood brakes are not...
It gets driven to and from the valley for the spring and fall fling a couple times a year, 25 miles each way and around town etc. Another 100 miles or so at the very most a year. I know I should enjoy it more. I have a demanding job and several rentals and I'm a cheap ass so spare time to enjoy...
Its been a minute, but I thought there was a snap ring that held the backing plate then a 5 bolt beef bracket that sandwiched it to the axel. I'm dead set on keeping those baer brakes on the rear with the parking brake. I would stack my braking against any of these modern cars excluding tnhe ABS...
I did 2 of these like that. The other one is a big block 4sp. Going back was my thought train as well. I'm all but sure I tossed all of that stuff. Why cant you run the rear disc brakes with the timkins?
I installed a set of green bearing had to be 4 or 5 years ago but less than 500 miles ago. Long story short, the Lt rear went out while headed to Las Vegas on the Power Tour. Of course a couple of Mopar Guys pulled over to help and a Motor Trend producer as well. At the time I thought the center...
fabricated some new motor mount brackets and raised up the front of the engine at least 1 1/2 inches went from 1 degree downwards up front to 3 degrees toward towards the rear gotta go to a friends shop that has a level 4 post drive on rack to verify the angles i did throw it up on the freeway...
I look at that and I’m sure if you maybe made it thru high school etc. its easy but a lot of math. my engine is one degree drop down in front so I’m gonna start with fabricating some new mounts to get at least a 2 degree sloop down towards the rear and I’ll read all of that again the TREMEC app...
Does anybody know off hand at what angle the engine and trans sit before you go changing everything and make your ebody shake at highway speeds. I just got to the point where I've narrowed it down to the drive line angles. After putting in that XV Motor sports suspension in. before selling it to...
Its made out of at least 6 pieces now. The 2 scoops have 2 chrome moldings and mount panel the more I think about it its probably made out of more pieces than that. While replying this and I looked down and there my search is.. Dec 22 and I still haven't installed either one of them. I bought a...
That would be great if they cinch you in good, keep u in place good that would work for when i do canyon cutting up in Malibu etc. I'm like you almost never wear them in any of my cars yes stupid. On top of that I run a pretty big Collision shop in LA and see it all day. I just expect all...
It took me a couple 2 or 3 weeks to get my hands on one last year I bought a couple with the intention of having one or both scanned and printed or an injection mold made. I even spoke with a guy over at classic industries about why they haven't re-popped them and was told they did everything...
Agreed run them on everything I own only time I haven’t been 100% happy is on my 58 Impala and that might be a spring issue just got the rear of that car sorted out in to the front. After my first exposure on the frt of my el Camino it’s one of the first thing I do to all my hot rods!
I've looked through some prior posts but really didn't find but one guy comment on the subject. I've never liked the look of the shoulder harness on these cars the little bracket that holds the belt when not in use etc.. As we all know these cars have little or no bolster in the front seats...
