    disc/drum conversion

    My thanks to all who have followed this "soap opera". I am not a newbie, since I have been building cars for over 50 years. I consider the brake upgrade only a slight modification. I have also tried searches over on the HAMB. More confusion than help. It is more difficult to navigate the site...

    Cartouche Upholstery

    Just to add some extra thoughts. I did a 53 chevy (sorry guys) a few years ago. I wanted some original material. I asked Lebaron Bonney for samples - not even close. Someone suggested Originalautointeriors - they were spot on. They included their complete interiors price list - quite reasonable...

    disc/drum conversion

    Sorry that I haven't posted any updates for a while. Long story. The master cylinder was bad. It came from Skip White Performance. A series of mis-communications, but I did receive the replacement just today. The new one is obviously better quality. I will try to give an update in a few days...

    disc/drum conversion

    Thanks Charlie. It is hard when you just like old cars all the way from purist to total customs. You are right though, I should take the question to the HAMB.

    disc/drum conversion

    Catching up myself. I have started cleaning up a lot of my extra stuff - not just ford. I sold a bunch on ebay and have some listings now and more to follow. I probably won't make it to Pate either.

    46 project leftovers

    Finishing up my 46 Ford project., I seem to have acquired a bunch of extra – some new, some used. I have tried to price everything low, rather than have it sit in the corner of the shop gathering dust. I use USPS when possible for shipping. 1. I have a 59AB crankshaft from a 46 ford. It has...

    disc/drum conversion

    I usually try to make my experiences (good and bad) available to others. I will continue to report on the progress of this situation. The speed bleeders are a great idea, and I would recommend them. I have long used a vacuum pump. It makes it easier for a one man operation. That is why this has...

    disc/drum conversion

    Thanks guys. The booster and MC are mounted in the area below the floor where the original mc would be. I will try to get a picture of it. The prop valve is a common setup for disc/drum systems. There is a 2 lb. residual forward and 10 lb. to the rear. I bench bled the mc first and then...

    disc/drum conversion

    I apologize if this has been covered, but my search found little info. I am building a 46 for tudor deluxe. I am using speedway's front disc conversion, and stock drum rear brakes. This kit uses the 73-77 ford p.u. rotors and 71-76 chevy calipers. This allows the use of 15" ford p.u. wheels. I...

    horn not working

    Trying to finish my 46 tudor deluxe. I am using a super deluxe horn ring. First - new wire from ring to horn relay. Connected battery and the horn blows continuously. Next put insulating washers under screws that attach the ring to the connector plate. That stopped the continuous, but now can...

    wide belt sanden compressor

    I talked to Vintage Air. They said that they can only sell the complete Sanden compressor and clutch. There has got to be a place to get just the pulley. I even checked the Sanden company site. There are some clutch specs, but not much for that 508 compressor. Those that seem to be close appear...

    wide belt sanden compressor

    I haven't found any info on this problem. Installing a/c in my 46 sedan. Using the alan grove bracket. I happen to have a sanden 508 and chevy alternator. The wide belt pulley is easy to find for the alternator. Where can I find the wide belt pulley for my sanden compressor? There has to be a...

    carb spacer

    Thanks JWL and Ron - I should have bought the books. Still learning, so I probably will. Flatjack9, did you use the edelbrock? and what size spacer? I am doing a mockup for carb mount. Rotated 180 for linkage connection, still appears to be 3 inches or better.

    carb spacer

    Thanks all. I guess I could have been a little more specific. My engine is a 46 - 59ab - 276 ci, stock cam. I picked up an offenhauser 4 bbl intake. I would have preferred to use a WCFB, but finding a decent one seemed unlikely. I opted for the edelbrock over the holley. I have the WCFB to...
