That is a nice m/c, but it's 1" longer than stock, which makes it too long <sigh>

that snbrakes site is down, I'll check it later.. I would prefer to keep power brakes, I was just commenting that I can't use a m/c that is longer from flange to the opposite end, or it will hit the shock tower - only .25-.50" clearance.. Perhaps the solution is to remove the stock m/c and...

The only thing that concerns me that hopefully you can advise me on, is I would like a m/c that is about the same length (definitely not longer) than the stock one, and also with the lines on the same side (trying to avoid bending more lines).. edits: The Wilwood M/C seems too long.. If the m/c...

I searched through alot of threads, but ran out of patience <g> The brakes on the car are just about setup.. All 4 wheels have Wilwood 4 piston calipers.. The brake pedal goes mostly to the floor and barely stops. It doesn't feel spongy, so I don't believe it's air in the lines. The car...

Time for kids??? Dude, I'm like in my 30's, bro ;-) I already have a 14 and 11 yr girl - oldest going into high school. My girlfriend has 3 boys.. BTW - I have started to update a photo gallery of the car, if anyone is interested, PM me and I'll send you a private link... I can't really put...

yeah, so many things took over... I went 1 summer where it was nothing but climbing (actually, a couple summers of that).. This summer is more about settling down with my new g/f for the past couple years (getting a house together) and hitting the 1 year mark for a nasty custody dispute (after...

Hey guys, it's been awhile since I've hopped on here.. So, like, I thought I'd cruise by and say hi. nothing terribly new with me - same ol car same ol unfinished project (the quick-change).. Who am I kidding, life is totally different than it was years ago when I had the time to work on the...

ok, from what everyone is saying, and from what I've read - I'm good to go! As far as the angle between driveshaft and shaft/yoke, it *should* be more than 1/2* (based on what I've read), as that will create an elliptical path of force on the bearings, which greatly helps the longevity of the...

for the trans, on the left side there (like your drawing), I have the output shaft at 2* downward - the dimension for the output shaft is missing.. I extended the centerlines of the output shaft and yoke, and they are parallel. The angle from the output shaft to the driveshaft is what is at ~...

both angles are at 92*, both in the the _/ direction, its hard to tell in the picture I suppose cuz it is only about 2* I did double check, and the centerline for yoke and output shaft are parallel...

ok, I got the u-joint and put it all back together.. I got the angles matched up between output shaft and yoke - the centerlines of them are parallel... the output shaft is ~ 2* down, and yoke ~ 2* up. If the rearend was in its stock location, the angle between output shaft and driveshaft...

This is a quick change rearend.. the spline shaft let me put straight cut gears onto them with a cover on it.. This way I can unscrew some bolts with a 7/16 wrench, take the cover off and pull off the gears, and plop some new gears in.. I can change the ratio to anything I want.. So I can run a...

I've been unhitched for about 8 years now :-) But better yet, I'm pseudo-hitched for the past year and a half.. Too bad she don't dig the muscle (cars), but thats ok, at least no pressure of buying her one as a present <g> Still doing much of the same work, working out of home most the time...

sweet - do the drop and "pay it forward" :-) yes, I plan on keeping hte ride fo sure.. I've owned it over 12 years and it survived a divorce :) Thanks for the tid bits guys.. I spent too long today reading and learning about the angles.. I hope I don't get into a problem though.. So...

On a side note, since everyone likes pictures in threads, here's the rearend with the gas tank FINALLY in...

1302 - just been busy with non stang stuff.. I'm a man with too many "hobbies" <g> Between climbing, kids, a g/f, work, the cnc machine I don't have enough time to watch more than 2 hrs of a tv a week (good thing).. And lately I even started on a custom harley that I'm doing with my bro from...

After a long hiatus of not working on the stang, I'm finally back at it again (for a short while at least).. My gas tank has been notched and now my quick change rearend can clear the tank.. Now that THAT is done, I can get the angle of the rearend setup. My leaf spring perches/rear end...

I dunno about mechanical gauges being more manly.. To me, I see it as simply a source for something to eventually leak, under the dashboard - safety reasons even. I can't imagine I would want boiling water or hot oil sprayin my nuts while I'm driving on the expressway. And electric gauge...

I want all around performance, but in a "corpse" kinda way... Think of a viper or something.. My goal is fun, but I'm into excessive fun... Not like a turbo 4-cylinder fun, but crap in your pants fun. I don't want to be #1 at the dragstrip, but want to rip it up at hte dragstrip one day, go...

ok, I did some reading - it was worth it, although still more questions, of a different nature now :) Everything in the article was geared towards a normal statically mounted mount, where the rearend torque would cause the leaf spring to load/unload/twist. the setup I am leaning towards, it...
