If this car is new to you, just go through everything. Steel lines, rubber lines, shoes, hardware, proportioning valve, add the self adjusters. I did this on my Coronet and it will lock up as good as discs. If you do decide to go with front discs, your 10" rears and small wheel cylinders will...

Mine has gaps too. The installer bragged about how nice he got the corners. Now that I see others, I’m not impressed.

I have the copyright on "Ratty" ;-) As in my "Ratty Coronet" "It looks like it got pulled out of a junkyard, but it runs perfect."

They should have built all cars with 26” openings and make the radiator mounting brackets to fit the radiators. From a bean counter perspective it makes sense, less metal, only 1 stamping die.

I got most of my seals for my 67 convertible from DTM and Metro parts. All good stuff that fits and seals well.

Try this first. Push the pedal down slightly while cranking it. Maybe an inch or so.

Haha, I have the exact same cupholder in my 67. I love it!

Senders? no. Gages? possibly. When my limiter stuck closed it cooked the gages and they pegged all the way to the left. Do your gages read anything?

That makes sense. I've rebuilt cylinders in the past that had threaded ends. I'm surprised that 60's cylinders are not rebuildable. I'll be saving up the small fortune for new ones. :wetting:

A. I'm a cheapskate :lol: B. I want bragging rights to say I rebuilt them. :lol:

My 50 year old cylinders leak worst than me. Does anyone know of a seal kit for these, or have a list of seals to rebuild them?

Beancounters > Engineers.

Looks good to me. :thumbsup:

I use WD40. It's a solvent, so it lubes the gasket when you install it, then dries up. Never had any problems.
