Lee, I got jim's message. Please send me your address, so I can forward the reamer onto you when I'm done with it. Sorry for the hassle, I just protect tools...
Mike, Any AMC caliper bracket and caliper that is seperate from the spindle will work. Hornets, Gremlins, Concordes, Spirits, AMXs, Matadors and Javelins will...
The Pacer caliper bracket/caliper and discs I used back in the early/mid '80's, and drove for a few years, seemed to work just fine. Lee, in CA. ... spindle...
Thanks Fred, I stumbled across the link to your web site. The step by step pictures were very helpful. That answered the questions I had regarding the AMC...
Jim, a problem with the tank ground would make the gauge intermittent or not move at all. It sounds to me like the sending unit is stuck in the "full"...
Thanks, Eric, here's a decode: E16 = Econoline van, extended body A = 240 engine H = Lorain Ohio assembly plant 834468 = March 1966 serial number (1966 model) ...
Bob, yes please on the picture. Someone here will recognize them. They don't sound like the Falcon ones - those have a chrome base that screws to the body,...
Nope, not to worry, they came that way. Jay in CA Extra credit: If it takes two men an hour to dig a hole, how long does it take one man to dig half a hole? ...
Mike, the swap I do uses '65-67 Mustang calipers and rotors. The spindles are machined to take the Mustang rotors and the caliper brackets are redrilled to...
Thanks Jay. I'll take a couple of pics in the morning. I'm considering backups on my 62. It will have a C4 so the neutral safety switch is what I'll use....
I decided to do the king pins while I'm doing so many other things to bring this van back to life. No big deal, I've done many before. However, all the ...
The pink wire is *not* fused; it's a resistance wire meant to drop voltage. Not at all what you want for backup lamps. What I meant was regular automotive...
Jay, decided there was enough light outside so here's the pic. As you can see, I was wrong in my description. It does have a chrome piece but it also sits...
Jeff, There were two versions of the kingpins, but the change was by year; not by weight rating. 1961 to 1963 had longer pins, with grooves top and bottom for...
jeff, mac's no longer carries the correct king pins. I spent the money and got the ones that are wrong in groove depth. Dave in vancouver,Wa. Get a FREE Web...
Jeff, I got mine from SSBC: $56.01 including shipping. The kit is a little different than normal in that it uses vinyl bushings and spacers, etc, but they fit...
Bob, my thought is that those are vintage aftermarket backup lamps. Can anyone confirm or deny this? Jay in CA ... you can see, I was wrong in my description....
Dave, thanks, you told me that but I forgot. I saw an ebay listing recently for a new set that specifically mentioned the groove depth, but I can't find it...
Thanks again Jay. They look nice on the van. Without this discussion I would have thought they were stock. Now if I can find out what or where they're from...
Jay, my mistake, they are from Total Performance and not SSBC. They are the 61-63 version with the rubber donuts top and bottom. They're vinyl and stainless....
I've added names to faces in my 2007 EconoCentralCalif folder. Jim (No I'm not being stupid on purpose) in Manteca California 65 half-panel van 67 5-window...
Jay, thanks for the response. I have a feeling that the sending unit may be stuck in the "full position" as you described. The gauge had always worked fine...
Bob, Could you take a picture from the rear of the van? They almost look like 49-52 Chevy or 51-53 Buick. Brian in CA R/S Hollingsworth <bosharh@...>...
