    Help with bouchillon kick down cable

    Thread revival! I'm a B-bodies member, but find great info here on the A-bodies site and check-in occasionally. I've been running a Bouchillon kickdown setup on my Cope Racing 727 with stage 2 shift kit. I adjusted both the throttle cable and kickdown cable with carb at Wide Open Throttle. I...

    15/16" MC with 2.75" calipers any problems with stopping ?

    I'll be the odd man here and say that with my wildwood forged dynalites (front disc) and smaller bore rear drum I was running a 15/16" MC for a few years. I do have power brakes, so not manual like the OP. Anyway, I never liked the stopping power because the pedal almost went all the way to the...

    5 blade vs 7 blade clutch fan

    Yes and Yes. The only difference is I recently installed an A/C condenser and trans cooler in front of the radiator on the grill side. Maybe now it's not pulling enough air at idle...

    5 blade vs 7 blade clutch fan

    Can you tell me the aluminum 7-blade fan part #? I have an original fixed blade 7-blade steel fan cooling my big block with 180F stat and 2-row Griffin 26" radiator. it stays 185-190 almost all of the time. However, if I'm idling in traffic longer than 15 minutes, which does happen...

    [FOR SALE] Griffin 22” Exact Fit Radiator 5-70027 (USED)

    Griffin 5-70027 exact fit aluminum radiator for sale. This is a lightly used 22” radiator I had in my car for a few thousand miles before converting to a 26” rad after I built my big block 451. It still cooled the 451 fine but I wanted to upsize to 26”. Be aware that this is 3” overall...

    help need a steering coupler repair kit

    Jim's Auto Parts sells all the parts you need to do a stock rebuild. http://www.jimsautoparts.com/steering_parts.htm Not sure if they sell them built already. I think Mancini Racing might also carry stock style replacements - can't remember. Or you can go aftermarket with a stainless...

    amd $$$$

    X5 on Jeff from 521 restorations. Just bought a hood through him and he was really on the ball. Gave me a great price and kept in touch a few times to make sure I was aware of shipment, etc. Awesome guy to deal with.

    Torsion bar Warning

    I read this before too and I've heard that this specific issue is typical with the bars from PST, but not all torsion bar suppliers. When I was trying to decide, I narrowed it down to bars from Mancini (stock mopar, but they only go up to .096"), Hotchkis, or Firm Feel. Hotchkis only has large...

    SF Bay area body/paint shop

    I talked to half a dozen shops and this is a tough one. Most shops that I found who specialize in older cars either have a long backorder lead time or charge an arm and a leg, or both! I would love to have Norcal Auto in Campbell do my car. I paid them a visit and they had over ten cars in...

    Brake feel - master cylinder, pushrod, pedal linkage

    Ahhhh! Looks different than mine. However, I originally bought this as a complete kit from Master Power Brakes. Their linkage is based off of a 79 Cordoba and should be complete. Maybe a different design? Anyway, I have no trouble with everything attaching correctly as that poster did, but...

    Brake feel - master cylinder, pushrod, pedal linkage

    I know, the angling down thing has been bothering me too, but two mechanics looked at it and said it's fine. That's the new replacement linkage that came with the Master Power brakes kit. I would think it should be horizontal and then the rubber boot wouldn't be bunched up on the bottom. I...

    Brake feel - master cylinder, pushrod, pedal linkage

    One thing I found that may be causing some issues is the pushrod length. Can anyone confirm if I switched from a 1-1/8" bore MC to a 15/16" bore if I need a different length pushrod? My new MC didn't come with one. I'm using the Raybestos MC 36406.

    Brake feel - master cylinder, pushrod, pedal linkage

    Hey guys, I'm a member of the B body forums too and sometimes you A body guys have some great advice, so I'd like to get some feedback from you on this one too. I have a 1968 Satellite. I installed a new upgraded system last year and then yanked part of it out and replaced some parts with...

    Who repairs/rechromes pot metal?

    Superior Chrome here in San Jose, CA does awesome work. They are known here for working on classic car pieces including bumpers and grills. I had my rear tail panel stripped there. A little far from where you are though. Superior Chrome - (ask for Mark) 1616 Pomona Ave San Jose, CA 95110...

    San Jose people whos out there?

    SUPER LATE POST HERE - but I wanted to add myself to the San Jose crowd. I actually own a b-body and am a 1-year member of FBBO, but I also joined this site to get extra info specific to San Jose. Can anyone local here recommend a good welder/weld shop for some frame work, as well as a good...

    south bay welding or fabricating shop

    Did you ever find a good weld shop for your car? I'm looking right now also. I need subframe connectors welded in, torque boxes, and brackets for my front sway bar. I'm currently talking to Reinneger's who did some suspension work for me, but I haven't seen the quality of their welds. If you...
