    Bleeding '56 Fairlane front brakes

    Hey guy's! I recently rebuilt the front drum brakes on my '56 Fairlane, and am about ready to bleed them. I have noticed that the bleeder screw's are very near the spindle. I can get a wrench on the screw, but can't open it much because the clearance is so tight. Is this normal? Are there any...

    Best 1956 Fairlane radiator?

    Greetings! My '56 has a 351 Cleaveland that runs great. However, I need a new radiator. I have read where the 3 row aluminum unit is less restrictive than a 4 row unit.

    14" wheels on a '56?

    Hello All! I know that my car came w/15" wheels. Do you all think 14''wheels would look ok on a'56 Fairlane Club Sedan? Reason that I ask is because I have a nice set of "old school" 14" x 6" chrome reverse wheels that I think might look ok on my black '56. I know that Ford went to 14"s in '57...

    Why the larger brake line?

    A while back I purchased & installed a dual reservoir master cylinder w/proportioning valve kit for a 65-73 Mustang on my '56 Fairlane. This unit is for both power, or non-power brakes. The line from the master to the valve for the rear drum brakes is larger than the one from the master to the...

    Heating up at idle.....

    Hey guys! My '56 Club Sedan has a 351C in it. While idling it climbs to 200-210. However, when I point my laser temp gun at the t-stat houising it reads 170. The radiator is 20 degrees cooler at the bottom than top, so the coolant is circulating. The temp gauge is a new Autometer electric unit...
