Cedar Key, Drone Storm footage just South of Tallahassee on Florida's Big Bend Gulf Coast 9-27-24. ☆☆☆☆☆

I always take the spring off to install them. then put the spring back on. It’s easily damaged so why take to chance as it only takes a second to do it the way I do.

Hey everybody, no speeding or burnouts either .

You're so obtuse you'll never understand what I said.

Are the 70-72. 9" brakes the same as the earlier A bodies ?

This popped back up and reminded me of a story from the past. "How do people make money?" When I was I guess about 16, we were sittin around the table after supper just chattin. We were talkin about what we (my sister and I) were gonna do for a living in adulthood. My sister rattled on and on...

Not so fast. Here in Cali follow these rules, other states may vary of course.

Just confirmed bracket is 3/8-24 thread pitch. So based on what your telling me, 70-72 pins will work.

Right, but it doesn’t matter, you still have to figure out what you have, because it may not be right regardless of the year. And to that end, I remembered that I have a ‘73 C-body spindle and brake caliper bracket set up, because it’s a 1 year only deal for C body brake conversions. And I have...

This is what we call "bag of worms". I can confirm the thread pitch; no problem. It's just the pins for 73 are not available per my searching. Thanks for your comments and appreciate the help.

Just got back with my engine~ I was hoping they were going to install the pistons, but I can do it. Flywheel turned with the starter ring. camshaft from Oregon cams/lifters, new valve springs to match the cam, .40 over new pistons, :)9:1 compression(thereabouts), bronze valve guides/valve job...

I think they were also.

So right, Was not planning using it. Sacrifice to the God of Speed.

Yeah, hand signals are legal. We all get it. Now once more, and try to follow along this time. What's NOT LEGAL is inoperative motor vehicle equipment and you can and probably will be ticketed for it.

Valve lashing / adjustment done. Actually very easy to do while it is running. Valve cover was a ***** to get off only because of all the fuel lines, vacuum lines, etc..... cleaning all that up is a project for another day. After doing it I would rather do the adjustments hot and running...

Hey , just did another small pick from a guy real close to where we're staying. 72 Duster stuff. Nice little haul. Don't know how I'll get it all home but I find a way.

That sounds like somethin I'd say. lol

If you are a bracket/index guy and tune for a dead hook on the worst surface you are likely to run on, won't need to change much to run on a good surface :) I might have a few pics back at the shop, but I won't be back until next week. Just made some room in my inbox... Grant

It’s just above the crank . Couldn’t resist …lol

Well they went ahead and paid out a split for todays race. He got 375.00 for todays race.

I believe they were. @toolmanmike will know.

The brackets were bead blasted and painted. The paint looks good but shows signs of install/removal. Alternator is not included, coil is not included.You get everything in the bag. Including the original lower alternator bolt, and the nicer one I used. I made the coil bracket, not sure what...

Yeah, it's just a no brainer. I even have the same dealio for my Ford T5 swap. I got a real NOS B&B scalloped pressure plate and a 10" disc with the T5 spline count. Perfect for a hot slant 6.

I’m not sure of that but in my world they ALL would have sticks.

Well that's definitely true, I know for a fact the 70-72 calipers can be used with a 73+ caliper bracket because the 11.75" caliper brackets weren't around for 70-72, they're like 76-79. But there's a pretty good chance I reused the pins I had too, I just can't remember because I did that swap...

That’s not a lot of gear for that tire diameter and that short stroke still pulls it.

Thank you

Well they are rained out for the day. It started coming down before Matt ran his second entry so both entries are still in. They are going to need a lot of luck to get this race finished as the weekend forecast isn’t pretty.
