    Inexpensive “Cordoba” Brake Upgrade for 70 Road Runner

    Not worth the effort or expense to go from 10.87 to 11.75. Stick with what you have. Keep in mind the calipers and most importantly the pads are the same size (surface area). The larger rotor will provide more leverage (but probably not noticeable) and "maybe" run a fraction cooler due to the...

    Coolant Boiling in Recovery tank

    Coolant Boiling in Recovery tank

    Why ?? If it fills when hot and empties when cold then the cap is working as it should.

    833 reverse nut.

    The nut can be as tight as you dare - but the FSM calls for 18 foot/pounds. The lever bottoms on a shoulder so tightening the nut has no effect on binding the shaft. The seal is made with an o-ring. Try tightening the nut up - you may get lucky !

    Where to route fuel return? Sniper EFI on '69 charger

    So just out of curiosity, have you tried (and succeeded) to get that unit out of the tank ?? I bought that tank also and wanted to take it out for a look-see and had no success. I think they weld the tank halves together after they install the pump module !!
