I'm with Ron on this one. My factory brake training (EIS/Wagner brake Rep) taught me that discs should drag slightly and drums run free, that's why they're spring (un)loaded. 75-90% of your braking i

I believe I can help you with the brakes. The replacement (brake) master cylinders are built slightly different than the originals. If you look at the piece inside the master cylinder that the pushr

Okay, I'll chime in. I have a 3.07 limited slip differential with a stock close ratio gearbox. This is behind a built 306 (dyno'd at 345hp). This is an acceptable arrangement, but not ideal. The orig

Sorry Curt, guess I should have read your post a little more carefully. If you've fully drained the system pressure, then of course the wheels should move again under my scenario. Do the front wheels

While we may have legitimate concerns based on our OWN bad choices, why shouldn't Joey have the same choices we did? Personally I believe that anyone who puts his own time and elbow grease into a ca

The point of the crossover, as you may know but didn't make clear, is not just to equalize the pulses but use one pulse to "scavenge" the next. Just like drafting in bicycles (or NASCAR), each pulse

Same width of block. Maybe they were thinking of the new modular motors; those are wider I believe. I have a later 302 in my Tiger; the bellhousing is different but the basic motor dimensions are the

I can vouch for the price/HP effectiveness of Nitrous. My nearly stock 260 (torquer intake and 600cfm Edelbrock carb) was faster than my 345 HP 306ci is when not using the bottle. Having said that, r

I agree with Steve on this one, the first thing you want to do with this is make sure of the problem. Check to make sure the pressure really is too high before you spend a lot of money chasing it. I

I can certainly understand the dilemma on wheels and tires. I kept my car as stock looking as possible for a long time (15 years?). This was partly to do with thrift (I'm a cheap so and so), partly f

Mine was a low tech solution, but I believe I just bent the throttle cable in a "U" shape past the holder. I'll have to crawl under my dash to be sure, but it seems to have held for 2 years or so. M

I'm pretty sure you still have the "pushrod too long" problem. The crucial part that is different when you change master cylinders is NOT the pushrod, it is the master cylinder piston that contacts
