    Trying to make sense out of this (new to me) car

    I had almost the same problem with the hundred different VIN's. Thankfully the title was in order still. :scratch:

    Agreed on the overdue replacement. As far as the warped hub, I don't mean out of round, I mean warped as in the hub *seems* to wobble left to right as i rotate it. It is very possible that it is me being waaaaaay to analytical and it is a bad tire. The reason why I suspect this is because I had...

    Please Help!! Voltage issues or so I think...

    I agree. My tank is original and after going through about four filters in a month, I decided to clean my tank with the ol' gravel and paint thinner trick. It solved my problem and this sounds EXACTLY like what mine would do with a clogged filter and yes it can be sporadic until it clogs...

    C4 transmission question

    My C4 has nothing there and it works like it is supposed to. I will have to agree with woodsnake and call it a production aid of some sort, especially if it is not threaded.

    Oval Air Cleaner Distributor clearance

    I have a 95 HO from an Explorer in mine running a 600 Edelbrock. Check my avatar. That is a stock 86 Mustang distributor and spark box. I don't know if you can tell from that pic or even an enlarged one, but maybe it will help.

    I had time to fiddle around with my brakes and after bench bleeding the master cylinder and following the adjusting advice along with the automatic adjusters, these brakes are starting to act like actual brakes. I am actually quite pleased with them. I think spending some quality time THOROUGHLY...

    Just checked out scarebird. I like the way readily available stuff is used. That allows me to piecemeal the parts too. My budget minded wife will appreciate that. There is not much mention about power assist in the installation instructions, unless I missed it. I guess I could get a 66 Mustang...

    That sounds like a pretty good option. :)

    I do drive this one a bunch, but a steering rebuild is on deck. I am definitely looking into brake upgrades but I need to narrow down my choices :eek: So much to choose from! Plus, budget is a big factor.

    That reminds me of a friend from college with a 66 inline 6 that spent no telling how much time at brake shops trying to get rid of that pull. No one ever found anything wrong. I reckon that explains it! :doh:

    Also, should I bother getting auto adjusters for the rear?

    Will do. It may be a few days before I can get to it (unless I get a good bout of insomnia:D), but I will post back with results.

    New to manual drum brakes

    Thanks for the info guys. That is exactly what I was looking for. The pedal pressure is hard, but there is a lot of action before the brakes acutally start to push back. I am guessing I don't have them adjusted out enough and that the pedal play is due to the shoe travel? I installed new...

    New to manual drum brakes

    Hi everyone. My 66 has manual drums with all new hardware including the master cylinder. Having never driven a car with manual drum brakes, I don't know what they should feel like when they are setup properly. I know they do not perform like a car with vacuum assisted front disc brakes, but...
