    brake master cyl

    No, the clutch slave is the wilwood push type. What seems to be the best overall MC? Would it be the stock alpine or one out of asia?

    brake master cyl

    Gentlemen: Here in Frostbite Falls Mn we put our alpines away for the -40 degree weather and in my case am surprised in the spring when I find I have no brakes. Somehow the fluid likes to run out of the master and down the inside of the firewall. It is great paint remover. Anyone else have...

    Recommended total advance for 2.8?

    distributor I think I'd investigate Jose's post. We were playing with the timing on my car, trying to suck out that last degree in timing and the timing kept wandering. It was the distributor that was worn enough to cause the problem. Even check the rebuilt. Seems like they will only...

    Replacement Horns

    horns I thought that the horns I took out of a 90's (early) sounded pretty darn good and they were only a couple of bucks and an easy installation near the original location. See your local salvage yard

    Traction Bars

    vibration Thanks to you for your responses. The jacks are under the axle tubes. The vibration is noticable enough so it makes it not fun to drive. I'll investigate your tips this weekend and if any of it pays off, I'll be sure to comment for because the forum is for the common...

    Traction Bars

    Gentlemen: Thanks for your input. Consider this: Once again, the v-6 conversion, Jose kit, t-5 tranny and cut down alpine and t-bird driveshaft. I find that about 60 mph when I let off the gas I get a noticable vibration in the seat of my pants. I'm sure it is noticable at other speed also...

    exhaust

    Gentlemen: I have the 2.8 conversion. I had the muffler shop build a exhaust system. The exhaust comes out ahead of each rear wheel. It's fine except the mufflers are toooooo loud. Anyone know the brand and numbers of a quiet pair of mufflers to replace these annoying things I have? The...

    body part

    Gentlemen: On the series 2 you have a chrome piece that goes on the gas filler pipe. Inside of that chrome piece is a grommet that I think goes over the filler pipe and then around the body sheet metal to hold that chrome piece in place around the filler tube and onto the body. Any advice on...

    Wheel Suggestions

    wheel alternatives Gentlemen: I kind of like the simple look of the 60's spider wheel. This doesn't seem attainable for a 13" alpine rim. I just found a company that might have what I want and it is a two ear or three ear chrome ( boltable or screw on)spinner, kind of like the halibrand...
