thanks RICK55, finally got on. took 6 tries to register but got that done too

I clicked on the link and got same result - wouldnt connect. According to Bronco and Mustang sites a lot of people having the same problem. Any idea what the secret is? Always looking for a good knowledge base.

I guess thats a no

Is this site still up.? I've heard a lot of good things about it but I cant get on it.

Yea I been on 52-59 group often, but a lot of different options and directions to go and gets a little confusing. Thanks for all the input everyone.

I put on a dual master cylinder (non power) years ago because my wife drove it often and I was concerned about blowing a brake line and wanted her to have a "safety net". It just takes too long to get stopped. Hadnt considered self adjusters so I'll include that into possible solutions as well.

Gas gauge quite working so went to replace sending unit and found something in the gas tank. Its steel - looks like a tank in my tank - best I can describe it. I can move it around in the tank with a screwdriver or magnet. I assume its some sort of baffle that has come loose. Is there some sort...

Finally got it going down road . Very tight easy steering - all I hoped for. I,m glad I didnt know what I was in for cause I probably wouldnt have done it. The only negative is either the brass horn bushing isnt centered or the steering shaft is slightly bent because there is a spot when you...

I’m writing this because I could not find any good instructions or description on doing this upgrade and I ran into a lot of issues I did not expect. Hopefully this will help out others contemplating this swap. My car was a stock 56 Vicky 292 fordomatic ...
