    Aftermarket brake upgrade overview article

    Y'know, I'd be interested in seeing how to upgrade stock power front disk brake systems. Most of the the articles or kits that you see are either conversions from Drum or large-scale upgrades to 3-4 piston calipers with 17" wheels and up. What can be done with a stock PDB car using original...

    I dislike the USA-630 even more now.

    I've heard very good things about Retrosound Model One. I'm going to get one this spring.

    Need help to reinstall my distributor.

    Dizzy = Distributor. And the reason that you need to go through all of that is because it is a four stroke engine & if you don't identify top dead center, you may have the roter pointing to the #1 cylinder & still be 180 degrees off. I usually use a broom straw to test for the top of the...

    chin spoiler

    I heard it does more for cooling the engine by diverting some air than for handling. For that you would need an air dam & side skirts.

    Help with gas smell when I park car in garage??

    I would replace the rubber fuel line in the engine compartment, you can buy it at NAPA by the foot, then check if the carb has a spacer and gasket underneath & tighten it down. Also you should check all of the screws on the carb holding the fuel bowls on. If you have a site plug, check the...

    clunk when shifting in reverse

    Before you tackle anything to big, check the U-Joints (on your driveshaft) first, it's probably that.

    Help!!!!!

    More than likely it's in the ignition (points etc) but I bet it's the ignition timing, sounds like it's way off.

    Power Brake Boosters

    Hmm, I have all new stuff including hoses, but now I'm wondering if the caliper itself was defective. I'll try your tip - thanks..

    Power Brake Boosters

    The brake pedal is high and hard & it just doesn't feel as if it brakes down well. When I have it on fast idle around town, it feels as if I can barely stop the car without really pressing down on it. On the highway it is somewhat better & it can lock the wheels but it pulls to the left. I don't...

    Power Brake Boosters

    I've replaced or rebuilt everything in my brake system, including sending out my power brake booster & master cylinder to be rebuilt. After testing it, I'm convinced that it's about as good as it's ever going to be. So, I'm now thinking that I should upgrade the booster to get better stopping...

    New Front Disks (stock replacement) for 69 mach 1

    I agree, if you don't need extra performance why not just put it back to the way that it was originally set up? It would be less confusing going forward.
