    Center console question

    That's what I did. I found an auto console that was pretty beat up. I cut the top plate for a 4 speed, designed a trim piece to go around it and had sendcutsend.com make and powder coat it for me. I then took a piece of thin aluminum and made a 'panel' to cover the pitted and beat up...

    I wonder if that is why he asked our thoughts on what the work cost?

    Monthly internet connection costs. Question?

    I pay $65 a month for 600mbps internet through Xfinity. We do have it bundled with their home alarm as well, which is another $30 a month.

    Brake Improvements - Looking for thoughts

    I put Teflon tape on the threads for that reason. I was still getting small bubbles fairly constantly, I'm not sure if they were in the system or I had a loose connection somewhere or they were still pulling past the threads.

    Brake Improvements - Looking for thoughts

    I replaced the speed bleeders with regular bleeders and hooked my MityVac to each caliper. I pulled a reservoir full of fluid through each one and got a ton of air out. It must have been trapped just right that regular bleeding wouldn't push it out. The pedal is mostly rock solid now with...

    Brake Improvements - Looking for thoughts

    Well, I got the new master installed and plumbed. Have now bled these things about 5 times, and still have a squishy pedal for the first half. Hooked up my power bleeder pumped it to 10 psi, opened a bleeder and nothing came out. Pushed the pedal a little and the master sprayed fluid...

    Rotor for my SSBC A1531 conversion

    Can't help on the rotor, but they use D11 pads, which are a 1967 Mustang pad I believe. Maybe the rotor matches?

    How Do I Adjust A Subwoofer For Best Sound?

    I always followed that rule too, but I just got a new set of subs with neodyum magnets on them. Each sub weighs only a couple pounds and the magnets are smaller than a hockey puck. They hit harder than the JL's I used to run 20 years ago. I really wasn't expecting much out of them...

    Bose speaker usage question

    Make sure your head unit can run an 8 ohm speaker, most automotive radios are designed to run 4 ohm speakers.

    EFI considerations for a 1970 383 with very mid cam

    I'll be the odd man out here and toss one in the hat for FiTech. I've been running mine issue free since the day they came out about 8 years ago. I have read many horror stories about them, which most are installer error. The Sniper does seem to have a little more tunability available in...

    Thanks, I just stepped up in tire size to a 305/45 (28"×12"), but don't have any pics yet. They fill out the wheel well a lot better.
