So I saw this on a small block page on FB. Has anyone else tried this thermostat? I ordered and planning to try it in the next week.

Well turns out, it was indeed a problem with the wrench actuator (Me). When I got the step up second hand, the linkages from the pedal to the booster were in pieces. I cleaned everything and worked off pictures to get it back together. I did everything correct except that how I connected the...

So I had to give up and get some pro help. The booster I have I thought was from a later a body based on the profile. More short and tall over the 68 more long and narrow diameter. It seems that it is getting bound up as it goes higher in the bore hole and the master is more centered. Any ideas...

MC has been ordered and should be at the house before the weekend. I guess in the long run it is better to get a new one and eliminate the question of if it might an issue when I NEED brakes. Any opinions on if I still have air in the lines?

Thanks for that. How can I tell which box I have? Just see if it is about 4 turns lock to lock?

Hi, I currently have manual steering in my 68 barracuda. I drive it occasionally and currently someone is offering up a flaming river box at a discount. Is this going to make my life of parking easier or more difficult? I toyed with going power steering and have the related brackets and pump...
