    Weekend project: new carpet in the 69 GTX

    Steam is steam ... anything that makes steam and is easy to handle will work. I used a clothes steamer I borrowed from a friend.

    measuring piston to deck clearance on 440 source dished piston

    440Source pistons are measured on the large flat surface - NOT the bottom of the dish or any raised portion. Yes, you want to measure on the pin centerline or close to it - if that means at the edge of the piston that's fine. FWIW the pistons on my 526 are .016 out of the hole - they should...

    Almost afraid to share another ammeter bypass question...

    Exactly !! And things like LED lights and/or installing relays on your headlight circuit actually REDUCE the load on the ammeter.

    69 roadrunner lower dash pads repop or alternatives

    Just keep scouring swapmeets BUT in MANY years of many swapmeets I haven't seen many decent pieces. In my opinion they seem to get damaged more by the guys taking them off and hauling them around than they would just left on the cars.

    whats the casting number for caliper brackets ?

    Just order a set from Dr. Diff. https://www.doctordiff.com/disc-brake-slider-caliper-mounts-backets-for-11-3-4-rotor-upgrade.html I'm not sure there are casting numbers on them. Usually you just eyeball them to match the photo in post #2. They've gotten pretty scarce so you'd be extremely...

    A833 trans help - fork not pivoting on the pivot point and keeps the TO bearing touching the diaphragm

    The fork moves forward because you haven't taken the slop out with the adjustment rod ! Turn the nut on the rod till the throwout just contacts the diaphram then back it off so you have about 1/8 of slop at the pivot end of the fork - which will give about the same at the diaphram. And you...

    E-body pistol grip vs B-body?

    Get an e-body tailstock with the mount further back and it'll likely work. But keep in mind you're going to have to butcher the hump. Also, e-body seats are lower so the shifter is in a nice spot. But with the higher b-body seats you'd be reaching down to grab it. Ideally you want your elbow at...

    E-body pistol grip vs B-body?

    I honestly don't think you'd be able to reach it anyway. If mounted in the stock location it would mount where the white dot is. The front of that bracket you see comes up through the original hole in the hump.

    E-body pistol grip vs B-body?

    I did BUT I have the Hurst Supershifter with the bracket that moves the shifter back about 8 inches AND raises it up a couple. If you used the e-body shifter in a b-body you better have lo-o-o-o-ng arms !!!

    U joint cap bolts

    Try putting the bolts in without the straps. They should thread in pretty easily. Also take a look that they don't have any type of locking substance already applied - usually its blue or red. And also there's no nylon insert in the bolt - also a locking method.When tighten they don't get a lot...

    Finally came up with a solution for the over-center spring with a diaphragm clutch.

    I did too. Clutch pedal comes up just fine without it. Clutch took some getting used to BUT ... I hadn't driven the car in 40 years !!!

    Throttle bracket and cable length?

    AR Engineering makes a wide selection of throttle brackets for different combinations. They're all available on Mancini's website. They also have a broad selection of throttle cable lengths - one size over stock should be sufficient. Pay attention when chosing to make sure you get the correct...
