Re: I THOUGHT I KNEW BRAKES.....
Turns out the New valve from Jegs was bad, I did a quickie repair on the OEM valve and was able to bleed the brakes, get pedal and stop the car. I actually made a small car show Saturday!. I will have to install a new valve as the OEM is now beginning to lose fluid through the weep holes. I am going...

Re: I THOUGHT I KNEW BRAKES.....
Update, I rebuilt the front valve, (I believe it is actually called a differential valve on my car) and installed the Jegs proportioning valve. No matter where I set the valve I still have little or no fluid to the rears. I can crack the line in front of the valve and have flow but not after it. I'm...

Re: I THOUGHT I KNEW BRAKES.....
I did not upgrade the master cylinder. I replaced with an O'reilly auto parts unit The car was originally power front disc/drum rear and after taking it apart even though it had a good feeling pedal I really doubt it had much if any rear brakes. There were 2 valves? on the car. One under the master...

Re: Surface rust on undercarriage
I put the KBS coating on, all I can say is wow! It looks like a million bucks. I hated to do it as the underneath of this car was really clean, there were still all the chalk marks on the floor pans after I scrubbed it down but I have no regrets going forward I know she will be protected. Eventually...

Re: FiTech
Hurricane Irma blasted my home on September 19. The whole project has been on hold. I got the EFI on prior to evacuating. 7 days before evacuating the Comet was on 4 jack stands, rear out, brake lines and rear brakes off and the fuel system gutted. Needless to say I put things together in a manner n...

Re: Good Electric Fuel Pump Location
I just relocated mine after mounting it too high during a speedy install 11 months ago. How are we posting pics these days? I can send a photo of where mine is now.

I THOUGHT I KNEW BRAKES.....
Did a rear disc conversion and couldn't get fluid to the rears, no brake light. Horrible pedal. I found what I assume was the proportioning valve on the front subframe on the passenger side. I disconnected the line coming out of it and got rusty muddy stuff out of it. As I was in the middle of an em...

Re: Let the mods begin!!
Long time no post. I was hit by Hurricane Irma about a year ago, I evacuated the cars but the house took a pretty major hit. So the last 11 months were rebuilding a house, selling a business and moving to the N Ga mountains. Just before the storm I was in the middle of a few upgrades. I did wheels, ...

My nieghborhood had a 12-13’ storm surge, it got my house, two of my shops, big Snap on boxes etc, etc. i lost the new built ...

Re: FiTech
Got the system, pretty straightforward install. Would be finished tomorrow BUT, imdecided to run the return into the tank drain. Went to pull the plug and with very little effort broke the brazing holding the drain bung. I'm thinking I probably avoided a future leak, there wasn't much holding it in ...

I have been a sponsor for 10 years, back form my Mark8 and Marauder days
