    Fuel Pump Surprise, Gravity, and Other Questions

    If it was my engine, I would install a new fuel pump, especially with the engine out of the car. No telling how long the diaphragm in an oldie will last.

    Running Hot after temp sending unit installed

    You probably have the wrong sender for your application. Maybe it's from a later 302 that has a different range of electrical resistance in the power for the instruments. Also there is a possibility that the sender is a switch for a "TEMP" warning light. Does the needle go to "H" immediately...

    WHAT SMOG COMPONENTS DO I DELETE???

    A lot of people did this sort of thing back in the 70s and 80s when engine compartments were covered with vacuum lines and wires connecting the various sensors and switches that constituted emission controls of that era and made tasks like removing an air cleaner a major project. I did this...

    Granada Caliper help

    Also make sure the inner pad is in its proper place and straight. The anti-rattle clip can be installed incorrectly too and can cause fit problems.

    sealing water pump and backing plate

    I use Gasgacinch to seal up these type gaskets. Make sure the surfaces are clean, apply the Gasgacinch to the gasket and surface, let dry, then apply the gasket. Repeat for the other side. Never had a leakage issue using this stuff. It's sorta like a mild contact cement. RTV is for...

    squeaky belts...??????

    A little shpritz of WD-40 will break up any glaze on the belts/pulleys that can cause squeaking. It will not make the belts slip and will not harm them. I was skeptical of this when first suggested to me but a good friend demonstrated it several years ago. Just a little, CAREFULLY sprayed...

    axle sleeves

    Sometimes there is a sleeve installed on the axle shaft to cover grooves that can be worn in the portion of the axle shaft that contacts the seal, causing leakage. These are similar to the sleeves that can be installed on harmonic dampener hubs where they go through the front cover of the...

    new manual steering box or tcp manual r&p

    If you search this forum you will se many complaints regarding the "new" Flaming River boxes. They are made in Argentina. I read an article once that describes the process that Borgeson goes through when they remanufacture (not rebuild) their steering boxes. They use better materials than the...

    Well now thats not supposed to be in there.....liquid inside coil? LOL

    I had aftermarket coils (from a "doctor" who was supposedly an expert on automotive ignition systems) in both of my cars several years ago. Both eventually leaked oil and failed. Replaced both with OEM-style coils and never had another problem.

    Car dies after 25-30 minutes of use. Help needed.

    If the Pertronix + wire is connected to the coil + wire, and the coil + terminal is supplied from the resistor wire, the Pertronix is only getting 6-7 volts and this is not enough. The Pertronix unit needs 12 volts to work properly.

    new manual steering box or tcp manual r&p

    Forget the FR gearbox and get one from Borgeson. Better price and a much better product with good customer service and a longer warranty. Besides, they are a Stangnet sponsor and we should support them..... Borgeson Universal Steering Components
