  1. On another note, when removing the car from the rotisserie I dropped it about six inches onto the jack stands and dented the frame rails. Two steps forward ; one back
  2. Ok. So I've had some time to work on the car this weekend. I started fitting the fender and assorted front end parts I ran into a problem with the fenders and cowl. the gaps weren't even and didn't run straight. So I added onto the edge of one side of the cowl and on the fenders I cut a slot in and made the panel flush with the cowl and welded it all back up A little smear of fiberglass and some blocking and it aught to be good This is the most assembled the car has been in NINE years! The hood needs some more work and I will have to slot it a little bit to bring it forward some more. I will also have to re-arch it. I plan on using Jeff's method @Home Built by Jeff
  3. Richard, I thought you posted a picture of a link that goes between the maxima caliper and the stock E brake, but I couldn't find it. Was that you? Thanks, Charles I
  4. This is a set of strut to knuckle bolts. Bolts appear to be 12mm dia and the shorter bolt is 30mm on the shank. The longer bolt is 35mm on the shank and goes in the front hole of the strut. 1.25 pitch
  5. Is the stopping power noticeably improved? How is the pedal travel? Is there a tangible improvement or barely perceptible?
  6. Swapping injectors around is a good diagnostic tool, but Zed Head's suggestion to just do a flow test with them on the rail might be a better way to do it
  7. It's good to know they are irrelevant, though.
  8. I believe I have some of those bolts sitting on the bench. I can check them after church
  9. Good looking Bronco! 69 was a great year, lots of great things came into being, including me! ?
  10. I wouldn't think a burnt would be an issue since his compression numbers are so good. He could have one or more dead cylinders. The way it sounds in the earlier video that would be my first suspect. I am not sure those 2 injectors are fueling. Maybe they are plugged up with trash. What about doing a bench flow test on the injectors to make sure they all flow? EFI is not my forte...
  11. Dude, that is exciting!!! I can't wait to meet the guy with the patience of "Job"
  12. You may be right on the guest. I basically never log out...
  13. Those are some serious concrete forms. Is that a crane sitting at the street?
  14. I would say with all those issues, it did well to bring what it did
  15. I got onto the Century Spring website the other day when I was looking and printed off the relevant pages for similar springs from their pdf catalog. They were supposed to be annotated for long hook springs etc. I never could find the annotation. They probably make the correct spring or one very similar if you could locate the correct number in the catalog
  16. Why don't you take out the lock sets and have a locksmith re-key them all to one key? Cheaper, no shipping and shouldn't be that expensive if you take it to the locksmith...
  17. Yeah, I thought a rebuildable pump would be nice. Also a mechanical agitator in the slurry to keep the beads from settling would be nice too. I may have to build one some day
  18. "Giant Overkill" is good! sort of like reaching for a bigger hammer... Did you look through the link I posted earlier?
  19. I can't image all those extra pins in the later ECU don't do anything...That would be very "un-manufacture-ish"
  20. Yes all the ones I have seen have the little half round bushing. They are not available to my knowledge. Do you need one?
  21. Brake pedal spring wire size is 0.091"
  22. I will get my better mic and check the gauge I found a couple of spring catalogs in pdf and did some looking. I found a similar OD and length but you need an "extension spring with long hooks". I also discovered one of the retaining clips in the brake booster is actually called a "serrated disc spring". Who knew???
