First trip around the block: https://youtu.be/s8Jo-FcKDzs

Thanks, Rick. I suspect the hose must be crimped or in a bind.

Coloradans (Coloradoans?) don't get to weigh in on this one. ;)

After a slight delay with an MSO issue, P2334 is officially titled and registered in TX as a 1965 Ford GT40. I followed the "Custom Vehicle" process from Txdmv.gov. It's three forms, inspection report, photos, certified weight, etc. Overall, pretty painless if you are prepared. One...

Gents, My newly serviced A/C works like a charm here in TX. But there's a problem. We took off the front clip last night to realign the front end and investigate the stiff throttle pedal. When I loosened and moved aside the A/C unit to access the pedal box, a good amount of water spilled...

Yes, they should be very similar, Bob. Yes, mine is a 351w stroked to 427.

Hello, Bob. I'm using a Quicktime bellhousing with my Roush. For the motor mounts, I am assuming you are referring to the mount between engine and chassis, on the sides. There is a big block Chevy mount available at Autozone here that works perfectly. I can get you the number if you need it...

Reviving an old thread, as I'm having similar issues with throttle pedal effort . . . Last night, my buddy and I isolated the components (pedal, pedal spring, carb linkage, carb linkage springs). The excessive effort I have been feeling is definitely the throttle cable. I have checked all...

Kudos to Monkey Mug Performance in Houston for knowing about the TxDMV Street Rod registration process and making the inspection so smooth! On to registration and plates!

I still have to pass inspection. After that - we'll see if I keep it.

Interesting. I couldn't find them, but probably didn't realize what they were. There are now 3 adjustment points! That just adds to the mystique of getting it right. Tim

This is a follow-up to the parking brake investigation. There are NO adjusters inside the cockpit. The adjustment is performed in two ways: 1) The cable connections to the Wilwood drums are adjustable. You have a few inches of travel there to play with. 2) Just as importantly, there are...

Great idea! And worth a try before removing the leather strip with all of the rivets attached!

Thanks, Julian. I have contacted my dealer as well.

The entire setup came from Olthoff (Quaife transaxle, bellhousing, clutch/PP, upgraded shift linkage). I can locate the paperwork, if needed.

Yes, I used the Quicktime housing and the McLeod clutch/PP. I followed the installation instructions carefully, measuring multiple times and using multiple people. We ended up using 5 spacers, I believe. A few trips around the block and a round-trip (25 miles) to get the car weighed. No...

One of my seat rivets came apart on the driver's side. :sad: One half of the rivet is trapped under the seat cover and the other is loose. If I remember correctly from the "How It's Made" television series, the part of the seat that is riveted is simply a wide strip of material, glued to the...

Mike, I wish I could have envisioned that. If/when I have the transaxle out again, I'll do something similar. Thanks for sharing!

Hello, Bob. Was it the Flickr site you saw? Here's the link. I noticed you had followed me. https://www.flickr.com/gp/141675158@N03/63KGM1

Update: Removed the transaxle and release bearing. The seals looked ok, but I rebuilt the bearing with a QM seal kit - 5 mins work. Reinstalled bearing and transaxle. Bled bearing - no issues or leaks. Adjusted clutch pedal stop longer by several revs, then tested for clutch engagement...
