I pressed the bearings on and that was it, no extra seals or doing anything to the gear set. I don’t see that I’ll go back to stock bearings and seals. I’m using a Yukon Power Lock carrier with the stock 3.32 gears.

If you think about what you want, disc brakes, you may want to checkout this option. You're wondering about the spindles and possible fitment issues using c-body rotors. 5 years ago there were fewer options for disc brakes, at least that I could find, but I did find this company - Brake Parts...

The brown may be from age, was the tire made before 1019 (10th week of 2019). I thought the white (side wall or letters) held up pretty well until the the tires aged out (6 years).

If this was my engine, I'd pull the distributor and use the priming shaft on a drill to spin the oil pump (make sure you're going counter clock wise). Turn the ignition switch on and see if the light goes out. If you have a gauge, just check for pressure. If the light doesn't go out or the...

Yes, I completely agree. That's why I added "if they hold up" in my post. I feel they're a great option for most of us on here. I knew of them before they were required for my new brakes, I just never heard anyone's opinion of them or how they hold up in our cars. At this time I think...

I installed 4-wheel disc brakes and had to go with "green bearings" on the axles. Maybe it's just me and I'm missing something, but I don't see that I'll ever mess with the stock bearings, seals, and the adjuster anymore. I never thought the stock setup was difficult to work with, but if these...

When you lower your car by cranking the torsion bars down, there isn't much suspension travel and will bottom-out the suspension (on the bum stops) pretty easily. I don't know of any "keys" to lower our cars, just back off the bolt on each lower control arm. You should use much firmer torsion...

If interested, here's a walk-around video with a video of the modification to the radiator support opening I made that day. The pictures of that process are above this post.

I purchased a new steering box and had to make some changes for it to fit correctly. Had it all done and when I went to complete the hose routing, I was unable to come up with the fitting to attach the return hose. I needed the power steering to be finished, so I installed my original. I...

I told my wife that I either had to start working on the car, or sale it, and I certanly didn't want to sale it. I started taking it apart in '07-'08, so I know about finding time to work on it! When it comes to the rear sway bar, mine wouldn't fit with the exhaust. I have a TTI system, and...

Nice!!! I'm planning on putting a lot of miles on my car, so I haven't really skimped much on it. It's the most expensive build I've ever done for myself. It's my first car, purchased it in June of '79 and I'm making it the way I want it this time. Plan on going on many Hot Rod Power Tours...

I haven't noticed any squeaks yet. I went with the 1.12" torsion bars and the custom springs to lower my car an inch or so. Matt at Firm Feel was good to deal with. I told him I wanted to lower my car some and I wanted to get rid of the floating driving down the road. I'm hoping to have my...

I've made almost the exact same changes to my car. Did you notice a big difference in ride and handling? Hoping to be driving mine next summer.....

I just did a search on Paul's Chrome. Like the postings here say, it's permanently closed. I clicked on their website and it took me directly to Speed and Sport Chrome Plating. Here's their contact info: 713-921-0235 404 Broadway Houston, Texas 77012 sales@speedsportchrome.com From what I...

On November 7, 2018 I made a post on page 1 of this thread. I mentioned that I got my pedals (for the stick swap) from a '65 SF convertible and that I'd mention it later, well, it's much later........ The car only had around 40,000 miles on it and had been sitting in a salvage yard since '70 or...

But wait, there's more............ Here you can see the cruise control box from Dakota Digital. I didn't want it under the hood where it would be seen. There's several settings that need to be made when I start driving it, but after I make them, I'll install the outer wheel well and it's...

Here's some other miscellaneous pictures...... I was unable to use the Edelbrock Performer 440 intake because the air cleaner would have destroyed the hood liner and possibly hit the hood. I had to remove some of the divider between the barrels on a stock intake for the Holley efi. I...

Here's some more.......... I put a dent in this wheel well for the A/C and heater hoses coming out of the firewall. After I finished painting the parts, I hung them to keep them safe until they were needed. Some of these parts hung here for 2 years. I used a grinder and then sanded...

I was going through some of my older pictures and noticed there was many missing on here, so here are some of them. I'm so thankful I didn't drive this thing in the winter (if you've gone through this thread you know I purchased it in June of '79) and blessed that I've only had to pay for a...

I'd call Lindsie at PriFit, the number is (256) 835-7107. We've talked many times. You might be suprised. They do some things in-house.
