    Confused... Power brakes, or Brake booster. Whats the Dif?

    I've done a search here and am a little confused. I want to do a disk brake conversion on my 68, which has all drum brakes currently, but I'm confused, whats the difference between a brake booster and power brakes?

    Valve Cover Breather Hose collapsing?

    Eh, I've seen older threads resurrected! :D So are fuel lines designed to not collapse or are generally stronger than these rubber lines used? Should I try to get an OEM replacement part from from Ford?

    Valve Cover Breather Hose collapsing?

    Thread back from the dead... Anyone else had this problem? I just replaced that hose after it had a crack in it and was throwing a lean code on the car. I got a piece of hose and cut it to match the original, but the hose is collapsing. Any fixes?

    Will Mach 1 Rotors direct bolt to a GT?

    My cousins got a pair of mach 1 rotors he took off when he got his Baer rotors. Will the Mach 1 rotors direct bolt to my GT with the stock setup? Quick edit: They have about 40k miles on the rotors, best to just buy new ones, or is there still life in them?

    Ford Tonneau cover sucks, where can I get the nicer ones?

    I have the crappy fold up style tonneau cover that came with my 02, I never use it cause it fits like crap and is always wrinkled. I seem to remember an older style tonneau cover, maybe ones that came with 1994-1998 stangs, that was much nicer and would fit the new edge stangs. I remember a...

    05 GT or Terminator, what to buy?

    True, that is one awesome car, but think about how much money he has into it!! I think right now, i'm looking for the best bang for the buck performance wise... Which would have to go to the cobra. At the same time i'm conflicted in that I want the new body style and interior... I saw a white...

    05 GT or Terminator, what to buy?

    Should I upgrade my brakes, or just get fluid flushed and new pads?

    I've decided to go ahead and go with the cobra brakes upgrade. I'm strapped for cash right now so i'll have to wait a while to get them. Thanks for the help guys.

    Explain to me this "leverage advantage." :)

    Should I upgrade my brakes, or just get fluid flushed and new pads?

    Right... But is the extra money worth the upgrade to 13" brakes over simply flushing the brakes, turning the rotors and new pads? Wait... I'm starting to get the feeling that doing the above is going to costs just as much as just buying the 13" brake kit...

    Should I upgrade my brakes, or just get fluid flushed and new pads?

    From what I understand, its certainly NOT a waste...

    Should I upgrade my brakes, or just get fluid flushed and new pads?

    I'm pretty darn sure that I never have, but I could look through my previous service records to be sure. So, what do you recommend? based on what I said above?

    Should I upgrade my brakes, or just get fluid flushed and new pads?

    I've got 66k miles on my mustang and havent even touched the braking system... My brakes are feeling spongy and I want to do something about it. So i'm not sure what I should do... BTW, the car is NOT a daily driver, and is just a street cruiser, no autoX and very little track time. I think...
