    Crashed my Fastback - The rebuild thread

    So, I'm in the middle of another T-56 Magnum transmission swap, but this time as a helper on my brothers 1970 Plymouth 'Cuda. So not much has been done with the Mustang lately. But I did get the Spal dual fans fitted to the radiator yesterday. It was a bit taller than the registry of the radiator, so a little bit of cutting had to be done. I also had to make pockets in the shroud for the hoses and the petcock drain. All in all I'm very satisfied with the installation. Maybe I'll paint the bolts black, but they are galvanized. Cutting line for the upper portion. This ridge rests on the weld between the tank and registry on the radiator. So does the bottom one. You can see the hole in the shroud for the upper hose. Done. The shroud fits very well, and is mounted solid. The radiator is an DeWitts. I'm very happy with the appearance of the radiator. Looks stock. Mounted in the car, I got just under 1/2" clearance to the alternator pully, but the rubber in the mounting cradles are still a bit tight, so I have some fitting to do with those yet. The upper one don't fit at all.

    I'd recommend stepping up to a used Grand Marquis or Lincoln Town Car.

    Bill, with as much setting without being used as the car seems to have done a battery may have frozen and cracked at some time thus leaking. No matter as the damage is done and your planned repair sounds like a solid fix. Dave R.

    "You'll never know if you got the best deal unless you've been to Rockenfield" was the catch phrase for Rockenfield Ford. I remember their TV ads and occasionally driving past the dealership on Vine St. at Paddock Rd. You made quite a deal on a nice piece Bill. Welcome to the forum and good luck. Keep us posted with pictures. Dave R.

    Crashed my Fastback - The rebuild thread

    Thanks guys. Me and my friend Roger installed the Scott Drake needle bearing clutch pedal kit yesterday. Earlier I had acid washed the pedal support bracket and the old bushings fell out by themselves, so I didn't need to hack them out which I have read is a real PITA. The part has been painted, and the one side has been installed. Under the bracket there is a new brake pedal shaft that follows the kit. It doesn't have a groove for the securing clip, but a hole for the redbrown pin to the left. I wanted to use the original shaft, because nothing was wrong with it. and it is OEM. That would cause us some trouble later. Tuned out that the needle bearings was to wide for the securing clip to be mounted, so we put it in a vice, and got it on. The pedal binded and was slow. So what we did was removing the bearing from the carrier, and grounded it down 1 mm which is what we needed on that side. We then installed it again, and the pedal moved free. A little modification to get it to function properly, but the evening went. Sometimes small jobs take up a lot of time to get the right result. The pin got a new home on the brake pedal. Perhaps I should totally restore the securing clip? The complete pedal assambly.
