Drum brakes 101 shoes must exhibit a light dragging to the drums when properly adjusted - they are not adjusted properly - so there are pedal issues as you have described. front wheel bearings must be adjusted properly as well - the old school method is not the best, try 120 inch pounds of...

There was never an rpm limit for the rv2 compressor, they are very indestructible. If there is a problem with an rv2 compressor after being rev'd up there is a problem with that particular unit. If the belts are coming off at rpm when the clutch cycles there is alignment - installation -...

Do you have enough grounds?

Please OP - Humor those of us that disagree with your quest for a min operating temp less than 195F as the car does not benefit from the lower temp in any way shape or form. It's been proven beyond a reasonable doubt that 195F min operating is best for today's fuel along with blocking the cross...

From the factory the thermostat temp was 192F.

Well it seems on here many have difficulty accepting that the proper use of modern brake lining materiel AND proper set up - a drum brake car will STOP! under duress. There is this thinking that only nos asbestos linings are what should be installed or junk was bought from RA or some auto parts...

the kit referenced in #32 has a knock off control box - the switching transistor is fake, real switching transistors have an insulator plate that is visible. There are other excellent sources of information besides here so come out of your parents basement and see the world.:eek: as far as...

If this was my car i would install an HEI ignition system, not a mopar electronic ignition even if it was free. As far as interfacing either to the car...i am sure one of the experts on here has a mopar performace engine BOOK that has the procedures for the electronic ignition wiring changeover...

Craig is very good at what he does, however he is incorrect telling us all "Those muscle car brakes are like $ 200 something a set —- and will rip up brake drums to smithereens"…..I wish he would listen to those of us that know about friction linings as that statement is an old wives tale...

Radial tires, synthetic lubricants, better shocks, etc along with better knowledge & real world experience dictate new alignment specs vs oem from 50 yrs ago. To suggest otherwise is an opinion at best that should not be taken into consideration. when deciding what alignment specs. See post 20...

I will attempt to help with "vapor lock". electric pump does not solve the real problem worn pushrod? a possibility but wait - The op has not checked the underhood temperature esp where the fuel line comes up along the frame rail. Other places too like the base of the carb. How about a stuck...

Poor planning on your part I sense some entitlement in your written demeanor Whining on here does not fix anything Check and see if Vans is hiring a customer service manager times have changed, perhaps some adaptation to the times is in order I work in the customer world and have so for decades

After the advertising dept was done with the car it was sold at a plant auction, one of the sites for auctions was the lynch road marshaling yard. It looks to be that the employee 1st owner bought the car at the auction. Pilot cars were not to be sold to the public as "new" but there was no...

paperwork? window sticker is all that can be seen here...what is there to be missed. Very special car, odd SO#, no sign of brown, Y28 Q5 for body color on the fender tag so show us dummmies the brown. where is it? Open account for billing...plant pick up, SO at the bottom shows E-710445 and...

lot of speculation from the peanut gallery, my favorite so far is the car was rootbeer brown at some point...where??? furthermore the SO number is odd and the car has some real pedigree as it is something special. Apparently the under car police were at the donut shop as nothing has been said...

keep the block heaters, great for cold weather 40F starts remove an accessible freeze plug and see how corroded it looks, evaluate there are freeze plugs in the heads replacing the oil pump is a waste of money unless the rotors are chewed up pull the oil pan, install a windage tray Use a...

My crystal ball is broken, you have not given enough information to determine if the problem is with the mechanic/the car or perhaps both. Today's gasoline requires a completely different engine tune than 1967. There is nothing wrong with chrysler electronic ignition at all, again, proper...

Return springs u shaped end is not u shaped from to many installations and removal. Missing springs and proper hardware at the bottom. Car is unsafe with that pic. You should have used a modern lining material like semi metallic, velvetouch, carbon metallic, nos cop shoes, not asbestos. Do not...

did you test the gage/circuit? with the key "on" unplug the the terminal at the sending unit on the engine and ground it to the negative on the battery - the gage should go full scale quickly

it appears there is missing harware, important hardware...and those return springs up top are worn out. Maybe one of the smarter guys can post a pic for you of the correct set up. Front brakes with self adjusters is not to my liking, but it is not my car. I won't say a word about the linings...
