Just to update the rear calipers are the problem. I have new ones on order. Thanks for the help it really saved me some time and I appreciate it!

To clarify, when I disconnected the rear brake line the binding did not stop. I plan on taking the rear calipers off making sure everything rebuilt and functional. The Hydroboost was a concern and I did size the rod that depresses the master cylinder when adapting it to my a body. I did double...

Thanks for the advice. I have checked for a residual valve in the master cylinder and the rear calipers still seamed to hang up after disconnecting the brake line. I also have checked that the parking brake shoes are free and properly adjusted. I am going to check the rear calipers and see if...

I have a brake system that is far from stock. I am using a hydroboost froma Chevy Astro van, an aluminum style Mopar master, A-body drum-drum distribution block, front disc Mopar 11" and Ford Explorer rear disc setup on a 9" rear axle. After bleeding the power steering pump and hydroboost the...

Just out of curiosity how are you guys wiring your fuel pumps? My personal experience was with VW off-road cars and due to the possibility of a crash we used this wiring to kill the pump.

Not that I am dedicated to buying everything from Harbor Freight, I use the buffing compounds they have and drill mounted buffing wheel. Hope works for you.

I sanded mine starting 100 and worked my way up to 1000. Then buffed to a good gloss. I used a Makita electric palm sander which leaves oscillating sanding marks which polish out easier than straight sanding marks.

SSSN8KE, I went through the same issues while restoring the surrounds and trunk trim on my '67 Barracuda. Trailbeast referred me to Leanna at Phoenix Specialty Coatings. She recommended Cerakote MC-160. All you will need the 4oz. tester size and a small HVLP gun from Harbor Freight. All of the...

No problem I did use LH tread end to connect to the adjuster and the RH end bolted to LCA with a locknut. So far no problems. Steel Double Adjuster 5/8in ALL56196

I understand the concern about the oil bath rearing conversion. From what I have found from local boat and rv trailer shops the oil baths are more reliable and easy to check for oil level thru the cover and can be filled easily. If you have questions contact ETrailer they respond fairly quick...

I have a HQ15 Black Series travel trailer and I am in the process of converting the hubs to an oil bath bearing set up. Due the amount of miles traveled and weight #5200. From what I been advised its good solution to the joys bearing packing...

For my Barracuda a 9” ford from a Granada or Versailles was an easy choice. Cheap, bolts right in an it was simple to convert to rear disks using parts from an Explorer. Granted finding a Granada rear axle may not be easy, and modifying a typical 9” will add to final investment. A 9” Ford will...

RRR, Here are some photos of my setup that replaced the MSD ignition. I realize that my setup is fabricated, it is simple and easy to access though.

I have a high volume oil pump, and the pressure stays at or above normal pressure. The cooler has a heat sensitive valve. From what I have read the need to provide better oiling to the timing chain was why it squirts the chain. The crank to cam distance is long compared to most motors. So far so...

I have the oil cooler setup on my ‘67 Barracuda. Trashed the old oil lines and used braided.
