Having some problems with my disc brake swap
brianrupp78 replied to panteramatt's topic in 1969-70 Technical Forum
Oh mine came with one fitting which was not correct for my application... This always puzzled me because they knew it wasnt going to be correct for my application but they sent it anyway. -

Lucky!!!!!!!!!! Wish i was able to get what you got then... Yeah i got mine a year or two ago. I forget what the specific name was. how much was the one you got... it sounds better than mine... especially if you have all the fittings and everything. -
Having some problems with my disc brake swap
brianrupp78 replied to panteramatt's topic in 1969-70 Technical Forum
I did the csrp swap a while ago... I dunno if ill remember enough to answer your questions or not but I can try. If your converting to the power booster you will have recieved a longer pedal because it is mounted higher on the brack behind the dash... this is so it can connect to the booster. Whats the question about your adjustable prop valve? It needs to be between the distribution block and the rear brake line. You will have two lines for front brakes and one for rear off the distribution block. Finding proper fittings is going to be a real pain in the ass... really wish csrp would have made this part easier. Go to napa and bring all your stuff with you(distribution block, prop valve, MC if u need it... which you will need different fittings for if you got the new one from csrp) and plan on spending an hour or so there finding the right combo of lines and fittings that will connect everything together. Dont waste your time going to shucks, oriellys, autozone, or hardware stores they wont have what you need. Your going to have to get creative when plumbing lines to get the stuff in there. Switching out the pedal is a real pain in the ass I had to take the front seat out... Also make sure your pedal is straight and fits as it should before you put it in... Quality control on the pedals really seemed to be lacking... The first one i got was crooked as hell and was welded together to far to the right and it covered up my gas pedal... the second one i got was welded up a little straighter but was still pretty piss poor... Just make sure its good before you put it in because it sucks having to do over. lemme know what questions you have... -
Disc or Drum spindles, best upgrade options
brianrupp78 replied to Lou the Great's topic in 1969-70 Technical Forum
go to www.discbrakeswap.com there are several swap kits that this guy makes. One is the granada swap... one uses the factory drum brake spindle(this is what i got)... and there is one more cant remember what it is though. Can get the whole deal from this guy including master cylinder, booster, etc... Its also relatively cheap Oh and you can still fit 15'' rims -

Hey can anyone direct me to a set of good directions for rebuilding the control valve and the cylinder deal. I already have the rebuild kits for each from cjpony but i dont have any directions. -
Tranny Install Binding-Engine Can't Turn
brianrupp78 replied to crankywanker's topic in 1969-70 Technical Forum
I had the same exact problem with mine for some reason, 351c and c4... I think after I had finaggled it enough it finally worked. Just keep trying to line it up and get it working, Is it binding up as your trying to turn the flywheel to bolt the TC to the flywheel? If i remember correctly thats where my isuue was but it was a while ago. Have you tried turning the motor both ways? -

http://www.1969stang.com/mustang/forum/showthread.php?t=8644&highlight=gauges Here is a recent thread about gauges.. there is some good info there... I too am having trouble with gauges... I still havent figured it out either. About 4-5 posts in someone posted a link with some really good info... check that out.

Steering column to thingy in engine bay bolt
brianrupp78 replied to brianrupp78's topic in 1969-70 Technical Forum
Ok thanks guys... So there are threads in there and this just clamps the threads together if I am understanding correctly. Now should there be anything else in there that it looks like im missing or is it just the bolt... Its been a while and I cant remember for sure if anything else went there with it. Anmyone know off the top of their head what size bolt im looking for? -
Sorry about the dummy language but im not quite educated in power steering yet... Ok so in the pictures I have circled a shiny bolt that is on the yhingy that the steering culumn goen into... Its all shiny and new looking because I lost the actual bolt that goes there... The one I stuck in there does not work properly and I cant find anything yet that will fit there and do what it needs to do. I took the orinal bolt out forever ago and lost it like many other things... I remember it have a funny looking head on it... My question is... What does this bolt do exactly? And do i need a specific type of bolt or anything because i havent found anything that works yet If anyone knows exactly what I need that would be perfect Also while I have everyone here... notice how rusty my new master cylinder is... Is that normal.... Its been on the car for probably 8 months.... only recently has the car been outside due to a move...
