Jim, throwing ideas back and forth is a great way for all of us to learn. Brake systems are much more complicated than they appear on the surface, which is why...
John, I've never seen a good picture of what's inside a proportioning valve, and I've never taken one apart to see for myself. But they're more than just a...
i had a vw rabbit pickup that had a link to the proportioning valve hooked to the axle.it would sense how much weight was in the bed and conpensate for it. ......
Jay, was there a different part for #00310, cowl insulator holder, when using the cowlheater? The ones I have cover up the heater hose holes that go through...
Jay, I agree with you about the exchange of ideas; that is why I appreciate the Econoline forum(s). I mentioned earlier in a previous post, that I have some...
Jim, by the time you get all done experimenting, you may go through a lot of $$$ and time, and hopefully no close calls in the effort. At the end of the day,...
Absolutely. And that brings up a very good point that the brake balance varies with the load in the truck. I've seen a similar valve on an '80s Toyota pickup...
Bob, the C1UZ-8900310-A is shown for '61 to '65 E100. Nothing is shown for the later models (right side got the bigger hose starting in '65 with the cowl...
Jim, a smaller bore master cylinder has the opposite problem of the big one. With the smaller one you'll get an easier pedal, but more travel. We talked about...
Oops, it looks like this one is no longer available. Or the webpage is gone at least. :-( I had looked for a dual remote booster for a long time, and this was...
John, just to set the record straight, my present stopping capacity is adequate with the set-up that is on there. Does it stop as well as modern day...
OK, thanks Jay. Can anyone with a 65-67 van/truck and the OEM cowl heater tell me what the right hand cowl insulator holder looks like? Is it the same as the...
Bob, I just reached deep into the parts bins and found two sets of the early brackets. These go across two grille studs, so I can see why they won't work on...
Jay, when you refer to a "dual remote booster", are you referring to a remote power booster with a dual master cylinder that can be located some distance from...
Jim, that's exactly what this is, or was. Remote boosters have been around just about forever. Hydro-vac was, I believe, GM's trade name for the units. Ford's...
Just got a correction from Lee about these: "I saw you thought that the rear brakes we put on The Toy were from a Galaxie. They were actually 11 x 2.5 inch...

My 61 pickup is nearing completion. I have painted the interior floor, finished the widened dog house, made new seat brackets, etc. I need a headliner and...
CHeck with Quiet Ride. This link goes to the Econoline Catalog page! http://www.quietride.com/docs/econoline_catalog.pdf It list 62 to 67 but they should be...
http://www.quietride.com They have the parts you are looking for. I did notice that the firewall cover/insulator is no longer listed on the web page, so I have...
-I have hooked the electric ones on 6 of mine, since Jay's advice on them. I noticed that the ones that have dual exhaust on them, the gas lines were very...
FYI. I just posted the Catalog page link and after seeing your reply I checked and the firewall PN is still listed there. Terry K ... firewall cover/insulator...
David, I just ordered the firewall insulator by phone. They still make them but apparantly not until they're ordered. I was quoted about 3 weeks. I was also...
