    Very Stiff Clutch Pedal

    I have a V6 and Wilwood slave myself so I'll look into that. It's a shame because aside from the stiff pedal it shifts perfectly. Just wish PCH wasn't so congested on the weekends so we can cruise in 5th for awhile...

    Very Stiff Clutch Pedal

    Greetings, guys and gals. Long story short, I have a T5 transmission out of a 2001 Mustang and the stiffest clutch pedal anyone has ever used. Everything clutch-related is new and my mechanic and his clutch guy are trying everything with limited results. I'm wondering if anyone else has...

    Fuel Pump Advice

    I've never looked at the pump so I'm sure it'll be obvious once I check out but I'll be sure to take a couple pictures.

    Fuel Pump Advice

    I turn the key to ON, it chugs for a couple seconds, then I fire it up, so before I turn it over. Like I said, there's no problems; I'm just wondering if there's a better way

    Fuel Pump Advice

    So I'm guessing the sound is normal? It quiets down after about 2 seconds so I know it's filling up. I'm used to working with electronic pumps so it's a little new to me. I'm just wondering if I should upgrade to an electronic pump or leave it as-is.

    Fuel Pump Advice

    Howdy, folks; I'm curious if anyone else has/has had this issue. Whenever I turn the key on my '63/2.8 the fuel pump makes a loud knocking sound for the first few seconds which leads me to believe it's a mechanical pump as opposed to an electronic pump. (I was an auto technician for a few years...

    Wiring Harness Recommendations

    Will do. The check should hopefully be in your hands in a day or two. Thank you!

    Wiring Harness Recommendations

    Howdy, folks! Well I bit the bullet and purchased a new wiring harness from Steve and figured since I'll have my car in the shop to solve the mystery as to why she just stopped running and won't start, I may as well ask them to install it for me. As much as I'd love to do it myself...

    1962 Sunbeam Alpine Series II V6

    I saw the post for this a couple weeks ago and I was pretty curious myself. I'd love to know more about it. Beautiful ride!

    Wheel Studs

    That's what I was thinking, especially since I removed the hub to do it. My issue is i loosened the steering arm but didn't remove it, which in my experience shouldn't alter the alignment. I think i just didn't look at the wheels prior and now it just looks weird. Just like when someone takes...

    Wheel Studs

    I'll probably end up getting some for the other wheels. I couldn't wait for them to be delivered as she's my daily driver at the moment.

    Front End Alignment Specs?

    Wow that's very thorough. Hopefully things go well because it still drives beautifully but I don't want to risk anything or cause premature wear. Thank you very much!

    Front End Alignment Specs?

    Excellent. Thank you very much! I truly appreciate it

    Front End Alignment Specs?

    I just realized that I replied to my own question so I'm reposting as a new question. I loosened but did not remove the steering arm during the procedure and now it appears that my front left wheel is just a little bit off (or my eyes are playing tricks on me.) I've looked through all the...

    Wheel Studs

    Thank you for your help, gentlemen. After not being able to find exact replacements I had to grind down new ones and hammer them in by hand since I don't own a press. I'm sure my neighbors loved the sound of hammering for 2 straight hours. That being said, I loosened but did not remove the...
