Jay, Thanks, Im going to get the ball bearing type bearing but I believe mine is non-stepped. In the database comments, it says "part # not confirmed". Has...
I was wanting to know if an offy 3x1 carb setup would clear the lid or not on the 61-64 doghouse since it is shorter than the 65-67. Does anyone here have pics...
John, something else to think about, something that I encountered a couple of times when installing my transmission is this: "If" memory serves me here, I also...
Jay, I'm considering the option of having the backs (mounting pads) on my wheels machined so that they will fit around the calipers. It would require removing...
Jay, I went back and looked at Steve's van again. It does have a 9 inch. Couldn't see any step in the axle tubes. Looks like every other 9 inch I've ever seen....
Longbeard, the article in Richard's link looks like a winner to me. (Thanks, Richard!) Make sure you get a Duraspark coil to go with the module and distributor...
John, I put that comment in there because Rockauto.com's listings were questionable to me on this item. If you punch up '67 Mustang 200 they show a different...
Bob, from your descriptions of the centers on those wheels they sound like monsters to me. No way I can guess, much less calculate, how much this would weaken...
Duane, thanks, I'll list the details in my notes. I checked an old database printout and found no known Bell System vans with a factory 4 speed. No automatics...
Jay, I couldn't wait until tomorrow so here's what I found. It's not near as bad as I thought. I mocked up a 1/8" spacer using paint sticks and the wheel...
Bob, don't forget the wheel will move and flex a bit, depending on bearing adjustment, etc. 1/16" sounds too close for comfort. Is there a "high" spot on the ...
John, I don't know about a "high" spot, but as you know, the caliper body looks pretty thick and I wouldn't think taking off 1/16" would be a problem. Bob NCWA...
Bob, from those numbers it sounds like the width of the wheel from outer edge to inner edge is 8 inches. That *does not* make it an 8 inch wheel, but from the...
Thanks Jay. Do you know how the position of the face of the rotor mounting area would stack up against the face of the original drum? If different, wouldn't...
Bob, 'course you're right! :-) The Mustang swap as I do it puts the mounting face in exactly the same place as the stock drums. That's yet another advantage of...
Jay,  The AMC swap I have been doing uses the Econoline hub with the rotor mounted on the back side so the mounting face is not changed. I have done one...
I made a trip to the Grand National Roadster Show a couple of weeks ago and ran into a couple of guys from Quiet Ride Solutions. They have kits for both the 3...
Hello Jay, Â I had Steve check the serial number on his van and was did confirm the number. That is the correct door tag. I'm including some pictures of the...
David, sorry, I don't know the answer to that. I suspect the front carb won't clear the lid, but that's just a guess. I've seen maybe a dozen of the triple...
Fred, thanks, I should have been more specific. Eugene's setup used the AMC stub axle, which has the same bolt pattern as the Econoline backing plate. The...
Peter, thanks, Doug here in Lathrop worked with Quiet Ride to make these available. Still waiting for photos and the final word that all the bugs have been...
Duane, thanks again. Sounds like the "F" transmission code was a typo by Ford on the tag; wouldn't be the first one we've seen. Sorry for the confusion about...
