    73 New Yorker - PS Fluid Leak

    Guys, I've got a small PS fluid leak from near to where the return line attaches to the steering gear. Not from the actual hose connection itself but from where the unit that the hose attaches to joins the valve body. The part I'm talking about is the one in the image below that is secured by...

    Power Steering Pump Leak

    Hi guys and thanks for the additional replies. I actually do have a pulley puller (had to buy one when a replacement PS pump for my 69 F100 came without a pulley)...but I left it a friends house....and I needed to get my Polara up and running again asap. So, I just did the pump to reservoir seal...

    Dumb Question

    Thank you....it's the Tilt-A-Scope, so rim blow...after 'googling' rim blow I have now found the rubberized insert around the inside of the rim. Don't think I would have figured that one out for a long time, (even though it was staring me in the face), without you pointing me in the right...

    Dumb Question

    Hi, I've just taken delivery of a nice 73 New Yorker Brougham 4dr hardtop and am not sure where the horn button/pad is?? I'm assuming it's under the steering wheel padding, but I can't feel any movement when pressing there and the horn isn't sounding. Just want to check before I pull the...

    Power Steering Pump Leak

    Thanks, I can only see one bolt the back, at the bottom, but guess I'll see more once the pump is removed. I'm thinking for just replacing the o-ring that there won't be any need to remove the pulley, will there? Yes, I thought that about the bracket too. I'm able to get decent belt tension but...

    Power Steering Pump Leak

    Hi, my 66 Polara has developed a power steering fluid leak over the last few days, coming from the bottom of the pump where pump and reservoir meet. I understand that a large o-ring is used to seal pump to reservoir and I've ordered what I hope is the correct seal kit. The pump is the 1.2 TRW...

    disc brake swap.

    I took a while to get around to it but finished fitting my Scarebird kit last week and must say that I am very pleased with it. The brackets are really well made and everything fits together nicely.....car stops well too, especially after all the new brakes bed in a little (I fitted new/larger...

    66 Polara - front disc brake conversion

    Ah, thanks...that explains it....they supply a shopping list. Guess I'll just have to email them and ask them to email me back the list so that I can get everything ordered in one go.

    66 Polara - front disc brake conversion

    Thank you for that....72 Newport MC now added to my shopping list. Regarding the brakes hoses, I spotted on one thread where someone had said that the Scarebird kit uses a Camaro flex hose, but I can't find anything else to back that up, or indeed which particular Camaro hose that would be...

    disc brake swap.

    Hi, I've been looking on the Scarebird website but only see the adapter brackets...is there a kit too....where do they say to use a Camaro flex hose? Thanks.

    66 Polara owner from London, UK

    Hi guys, although I've been signed up on the forum for a while, I've not been active at all, up to now. Unfortunately I jumped straight in with a 'please help me' post today (see below), but really should have come here first to introduce myself. My car is a pale blue 66 Polara 2dr hardtop...

    66 Polara - front disc brake conversion

    Hi there, I could do with some advice on exactly what parts to buy for this conversion, as I'm in the UK so want to avoid ordering incorrect parts or missing anything....shipping costs are pretty heavy! I've looked at the various kits by SSBC, ECI and PST, but my current thinking is that it...
