  1. There are several good youtube videos on how the boosters work. One is a younger guy with a drawing of a booster using a white board. Another is a guy in a wrecking yard and at a point he cuts a booster open. Both were very informative for me as I battled brake problems last summer. The guys at Power Brake Booster Exchange in Oregon are great also. Dave R.
  2. Had my original trim panels been in need of replacing then I would have had a decision to make on retractor placement. I was not interested in cutting up my original panels. I like the idea of and look of the finished relocation. As mine is positioned I think the seat could move back, unobstructed, even with seat extenders. Good luck. Dave R.
  3. I drive my '69 with the seat "one click" from the full back position without trouble. The seat will go full back without hitting the retractor. The retractor is angled slightly towards the rear as these pictures show. I had no desire to start hacking on those interior panels to hide the retractor. Rear seat passengers are not a consideration for me. Dave R.
  4. https://www.julianos.com/Articles.asp?ID=248 This series of photos shows install of 3 point into a '70 sportsroof. Dave R.
  5. Did this make the gauge accurate at 3/4, 1/2, 1/4 and EMPTY? Dave R.
  6. Mid $1.40's in SW Ohio. Dave R.
  7. I don't know where you live but there are a couple of possibilities on the Cincinnati Craigslist. Good luck. Dave R.
  8. $1.95 yesterday in SW Ohio. Dave R.
  9. Loved our visit to the museum in October. We missed the Bullitt by a week or two the lady at the door said. Neat place although I'm not sure why they have moved across the street but I may be able to get back there later this year. I am far from politically correct but a caravan of vehicles stopping at bars seems a little extreme these days. I am not anti-drinking as I used to do way too much of it. A quad bypass and certain threats by a thoracic surgeon and a cardiologist put a roaring halt to that. 16 years of having beer, wine and liquors in the house for guests and I drink iced tea or soda. Maybe the booze cruise isn't such a bad idea and I am placing myself in the cruise and imagining my behavior if it were 20 years ago. Dave R.
  10. Am I the only person that thinks it odd for a car event to offer a "booze cruise?' Dave R.

    Sounds like solid plans. Nothing like a torque monster and a 4 speed. She'll be turning lots of heads. And tires. Dave R.
  12. My '69 Mach 1 required either new quarters or extensive repair of the existing panels. My restorer pointed out the advantages of replacing the panels. When I agreed with him he insisted on Dynacorn panels. He had used them in his own personal project. They fit and look great. This was 6 1/2 years ago. Hopefully their quality has not declined. Good luck. Dave R.

    HTOM, beautiful looking car. Does it run? What does it need? Lots of info available here to help you. Good luck. Dave R.
  14. There isn't much extra room under the hood for sure. My car is a R code Mach 1 with the Midland Ross booster. Talk about a tight fit. There is some interference between the the rear of the shock tower and the front of the master cylinder when removing or installing the master cylinder. I believe that cascade effect is true. Good luck. Dave R.
  15. The people at Power Brake Booster Exchange get my vote. They fixed a booster for me last fall. This booster was purchased from a vendor known to us on the forum. The vendor bought it as NOS and sold it to me as such. To shorten the story, unable to make the power assist work I finally sent the booster to PBBE. They fixed it and returned the broken part that they found inside. I had the booster back in a week. HIGHLY recommend them for your booster needs. By the way, the broken piece had a poor attempt to repair done on it. So much for NOS. Dave R.
  16. Always glad to help. Merry Christmas. Dave R.
  17. Mike65, I think I have the paperwork on them in my binder. Yes, I do have the paperwork. It's only 54 degrees in the garage so went to the garage and I have the paperwork in hand. JUS10308 for the 3 point belts. That may be the number specific for the berry colored ones. JUS60108 for the matching lap belts for the rear seat. In Feb. of 2015 the belts were $239.90 for the pair of 3 points and $49.90 for the pair of rear laps. Juliano's Interior Products 860-872-4114. Good luck and Merry Christmas. Dave R.
  18. I used 3 point belts from Juliano's Hot Rod Parts on my '69 Mach 1. No complaints. Work great. Color matched the new upholstery. I weigh 270 and they fit fine. There was a video of them installing these belts in a '70 Mach 1 as I recall. Dave R.
  19. Arvidsson, I'm not trying to get you to defect from this forum as I visit here frequently myself. I assume most members here are like myself and cruise several forums. FYI there is a forum dedicated to the 428 CobraJet cars that has also been beneficial to me. Not to detract from this forum as I have found lots of good info here as well as a couple of other forums. Can't have to much info. Good luck. Dave R.
  20. Was the single fan that you removed the correct fan and clutch and shroud set-up? The right parts there should cool sufficiently if the motor is stock or near stock. My '69 CobraJet is .030 overbored and the stock system keeps it cool. Mine is non-a/c but these systems were functional as designed. Over the years a lot of our cars have had "improvements" made to them by previous owners. Removing shrouds or wrong shrouds, flex type fans, etc. has taken place at the hands of someone that was trying fix a problem. Sometimes, starting with the basics helps. Dave R.
  21. Looks like a great car to start with. Of course I might be a little prejudiced towards red '69 R code Mach 1's. Good luck Arvidsson and welcome. Dave R.
  22. Good enough Brian. Trying to help us both. Good luck. Dave R.
  23. Brian, I still have a sender for sale if that will help. My ad is in the parts for sale section here. Price is negotiable. Dave R.
  24. I'd rather listen to my cammed up .030 over CobraJet than a radio. Dave R.
  25. Bob's Speedometer Shop in Howell, MI. rebuilt them. Dave R.
