I can't believe I missed the fact you have disc brakes. . . When I looked at your under-hood photo, I noticed the disc brake dual diaphragm booster, but ignored it since you started the discussion saying you wanted to convert to disc brakes. Sorry for the confusion on my part.

What a beautiful and nicely equipped car! Your car has front discs and rear drums. Rare, and really good! I can help with direction for your disc brake system. The new master cylinder you bought is not correct - you need a dual reservoir DISC brake master cylinder. If you've not installed...

I agree with @myskin , in that you should clean the inside of the pan. The pictures show what appears to be almost grinding dust. My experience with transmission pan gunk is that it is more like extremely fine sand, and if there’s clutch material in it, it will be dark, almost black in color...

Thank you so much! I REALLY appreciate your time and these pics! Helps a ton!

Thank you very much @detmatt great infos

So you haven’t cleaned that stuff out each time you dropped the pan? It’s been a long time since I changed a trans filter. But, that looks pretty typical of what we used to see in the pan,but that was after 50k (or more) miles. I don’t know how long it it took for wear deposits to collect on a...

You really should use what the car was designed to use. Hub centric or Hub piloted requires the hub to center the wheel on the axle center. Stud piloted, or coarse, use the studs to center the wheel and generally use a different lug nut design as well. There are spacers made for wheels with the...

Nice car! I might kinda wish it was a different color if it was mine but I wouldn’t change a thing cosmetically on this one. Those Budd disc brakes work crazy good so hopefully they’re in good working order and all you need to do is get the proper master. Just search for a stock replacement for...

What is so strange about learning, yesterday I didn’t no what brakes I had and know I know , I had the car for 12 hour give me time to get to know her

I guess all those 6,000 miles were on dirt roads, way to much inner fender grime for a 6k car. Love the GM 'Lid Flip' for better performance, no seriously, the air cleaner housing doesn't appear to have the 100k+ rash on the front of it but if the engine was out a re-spray of it could be...

electronic. Not much to points. Point and condenser, ballast resistor which if it runs it is fine and the coil. The FSM will walk you through it. Biggest issue is the new points.cond suck from a parts store.

So, we have two defect low beams and since it's sealed beam lamps the availability isn't the greatest here in Norway. We are therefore looking to maybe upgrade to newer lamps where we can change bulbs and would like your input on what to get and/or where to buy. I would love to get yellow glass...

Taking on a restoration and not knowing what brakes you have sounds a liitte strange, but fingers crossed and good luck. Nice car with cool options!

Hello and well met. It's been 200 or so miles after I rebuilt the Pushbutton A727 and have dropped the pan multiple times to check the health of the transmission. The shavings in the pan are silver in color. (planetary gears/bushings?) Is the amount of shavings acceptable as "normal" wear...

Checking off some small projects this week on my '65 Chrysler and thought I would replace the rubber coupling in the steering shaft. Should be simple, right? :rolleyes: Instead, I've noticed two things which may or may not be problems, and may be related? First, the steering box & its shaft...

I don't think there's an easy answer here. To remove the tarnish on the visible part of the spade connectors in the plugs, probably some sort of acid combined with a specially-crafted brush. That's if you're not going to pop the spades out of the sockets. If you don't do that, you won't see...
