    A Wrapup of Goodbye and Good Riddance

    Hi everyone, I wanted to share what I have learned over the last six weeks while working on my 1969 Fury III 318 droptop, and share some direct comparisons. I will try, but will most likely fail, to keep this short... 1) The previous owner had the car changed over from manual drum to SSBC...

    Ride Height............,Again

    Ok.....Here's question. I just put my 69 fury back together. I rebuilt the entire front suspension, and did a factory disc setup on it. I set the ride height. From my eyes, the ride height looks good. I did the factory procedure from the shop manual where you measure from the lowest point of...

    Caliper beyond repair?

    So I'm converting my 69 Fury over to brakes from a 72 New Yorker. I figured I would do this while I'm doing the complete suspension rebuild. today with much effort and heat, I got the bleeders and the brake lines out of each caliper, so that's good. one caliper had a very stuck piston, which I...

    I Feel So Stupid...Idler Arm Removal

    Boy, do I feel dumb, I cannot see how to get the idler arm separated from the center link. I have everything else out. I cannot get my pickle fork between the center link and the idler arm. The local rental tie rod pullers have fingers that are too thick. I also cannot get enough room to do...

    Strut Rod Sleeve

    Hey everyone, So today I tore apart the whole front suspension on my 1969 fury. As expected, everything is toast. I can move the ball joints with my pinky finger, that's how wasted they are. Every bushing is toast. I have a complete kit for rebuilding that I received from Craig at mobile parts...

    Did I Get the Wrong Booster

    Hi Fellas, So I am eliminating the LEEDs brake conversion system (why I am, I'll save for another day) on my 1969 Fury III column shift car. Anyway, I was able to score a complete disc brake setup from a 1972 New Yorker. I took EVERYTHING right down to the brake pedal assembly. I also...

    Disc Brake vs Drum Brake Pedal

    Hi everyone, I am sure this question has been asked a bazillion times, but I cannot find a definite answer on the board. I have a 1969 Fury. Someone converted the thing to an aftermarket LEED brake system before I bought it. I hate the system. Last week, I got lucky and found a 72 Newport in...

    Thinking of Going BACK to Front Drums

    Brake pedal height

    Greetings, I just picked up a 1969 Fury convertible. I am currently working on getting the bugs out of it. One item I am not happy about is the workmanship someone did converting the front brakes to disc. I have figured out that whomever did this conversion used an SSBC brake kit and Leed...

    Lifting a Convertible

    Hi everyone, New guy here. I just took possession of a 1969 convertible Fury III. I put a few pictures in the welcome wagon page last week. This beautiful piece of convertible boaty goodness arrived yesterday at my home. I am ready to dive in, but have never owned a convertible in my 37...
