Dan, brake questions are always welcome - it's way too important a subject to leave to chance. A buddy and I used a Mustang II master cylinder as part of a...

... Erick, my van is a Falcon with a 170. I have the belly pan and you can use it for a pattern if you can make one for your van. I still need to put mine...
Driving my van on the road for the first time at any length today, I encountered a problem with my speedometer / odometer. It was working fine, and the...
The bulb socket for the driver side turn signal on my van is messed up, the guts of the socket are trashed. It looks like the socket is held into the signal...
Every vent I have the shaft is broken due to rust and for the life of me I cannot get the shaft welded in the proper position suggestions please Jim in WI...
Hey Marye, Happy Birthday (do not know when so) I read an article that states never increase the size of line the manu installed as the smaller will give more...
Thanks Jay. I told the parts counter guy I wanted a Master for a '76 Mustang II. (I just picked a year - no special reason.) I'll take a look at it tonight...
Hey all, I decided to upgrade to a '68 200 in my '65 spring special. I'll be doing the engine swap in about a month. Question is, what differences in the...

Needing to find a replacement window on the driver's side of 61 Econoline pickup. It was missing completely when we bought the truck. Does anyone have...
Thanks for the replies. Mark has now decided to replace the 144 engine on the 61 Econoline pickup with a Ford 302 V8 with automatic transmission. Seems like it...
Hey, Marye, if it is your birthday, have a happy one! Mine was 2 weeks ago, I hit 62! Anyhow, to the topic at hand. I don't see the logic behind smaller or...
-Jay, Would you happen to have a picture of the rubber flap that goes on the dog house lid? I would like to try one on the 62,as it runs a little warmer than...
***Thanks guys but no, not my birthday. I stopped taking special note of mine when they got depressing. Now I call it my Do-Day. I go out on that day and do...
James, Sorry, but the size of the hydraulic lines has nothing to do with the pressure, either input or output. The size of the PISTONS is what matters. The...
Erick, one thing that we've run into on the sixes is that some of the replacement water pumps have a cheap, stamped impeller rather than a solid one like what...
Thanks Jay, Dash pad and box door are black.On closer inspection you can see it was a church van.There are no rear seats but there are seat belts for the front...
Charly, exactly right, '61-64 bellypans are the same. The later ones have a dip in the center for the taller (240) radiator, but those from a later 170 have a...
Tyler, hate to say it, but sounds like the drive gear in the transmission might be stripped. The early models (1961-62 seem especially prone to this. Check the...
Yep, the socket is crimped onto the housing. I tried using one of the replacement ones years ago, and ended up soldering the whole mess together. It worked,...
