ramair351 10 Report post Posted May 20, 2013 short history of the car, 1970 H code mach 1 . 42k original miles. i bought it with global west suspension already installed, speed Tremec and disc brakes. and warmed over 351w. i took the cowl panel out, and got it repainted, its was peeling badly from a poor prior repaint. i was able to fix a damaged RH wiper pivot in the process. also have had the grill out for some time, detailing and painting behind there, horns, etc. I bought the correct silver-grey metallic paint for the grill and reprayed that. i dont think the grill has ever been out before! i also swapped the clear sport lamp lenses for maverick amber ones. installed halogen headlamps with replaceable H4 bulbs too. been busy! now its time to drive Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Powershift 19 Report post Posted May 20, 2013 Very cool! Looks to have a very large aluminum radiator too. That should really help keep things even cooler. LOL Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ramair351 10 Report post Posted June 2, 2013 I finally got the nine inch i have been working on back together. 3.89 31 spline traction lock. bought the rebuild stuff from Yukon gear. i used the Rotunda ford pinion depth tool kit from work. it worked slick and no need to take the pinion support out and swap shims. it tells you the right one to use the first time. someday when i get time, i will install it along with the rear disc brake kit i bought ...

ramair351 10 Report post Posted June 30, 2013 apparently one of these will NOT close off a brake line like i thought it would. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
latoracing 256 Report post Posted June 30, 2013 I am curious, why would you want to use a proportion valve to shut off a brake line or lines? I've seen these used to help set the bias between the front and rear brake systems while driving, but not as a way to close off a system. Seen line locks to help in the burn out box at the strip as well, but it would be for an entirely different use. Just wondering... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ramair351 10 Report post Posted June 30, 2013 I already had one of these installed. i was trying to shut off the rear brake lines while i plumbed the new ones. it does not hold brake pressure as i tried to move the car. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
