kevin31 21 Report post Posted January 14, 2015 Thanks everyone! :-) I need some advice:wilma going to add gauge pod on my console to monitored the battery voltage and the oil. For the oil, I need to choose between the temperature and the pressure. What is the best option to monitor the oil? pressure or temperature? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I say pressure and I also prefer a mechanical gauge over an electrical one FWIW when it comes to monitoring your oil. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fantastic 57 Report post Posted January 15, 2015 NIce work. It is good to see a project that actually seems to have gone smoothly. Chasing the odd gremlin at the end of the build seems to be a reasonable expectation. My car was down to the same level and many of those photos are near identical to my own. It is good reference materiel as I work on putting together e-brake cables and a few other bits. I noted the dynamat style heat shield on the full interior. I didn't do that on mine, but I figure it is something I can do down the road. The car survived 48 years without it.. Fantastic! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kevin31 21 Report post Posted March 27, 2016 U111 rims installed And tremec as well. Wow! what a big différence compare with the toploader! But i have a doubt regarding the clutch free play. I have kept the original Bell housing, and Zbar system. Does someone know what is the adjustment of the clutch fork? 1 SWPruett reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kevin31 21 Report post Posted April 4, 2016 Wow! How did I miss the Tremec conversion in your thread?! More details on this would be very much appreciated! Car looks great! I will collect all the infos about the conversion and post it. The good thing is that we kept the original driveshaft, and we replaced only the pinion yoke of the rear end by a shorter one. Not easy to find a shop over here who knows how to cut and balance a driveshaft.... The only probleme that we found was the crossmember who was not aligned with the T5. We had to make a kind of plate to be able to attached the T5 to the crossmenber. I don't know if youu can visualized the problem, When i will have time, I will post a picture. 1 SWPruett reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kevin31 21 Report post Posted April 11, 2016 Some pictures...As you can see, the crossmember that I have received is not the good one..We made something temporary for the time being And the last but not least, I found the engine mount bolt L/H bent. I don't know how that can happen Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kevin31 21 Report post Posted September 1, 2016 So, engine mount replaced by the ones from Ron Morris, new Crossmenber installed and no issues. All good. Recently, I swapped my old power steering setup by a rack and pinion from TCP. Installation is very easy. After few Km, I checked the installation and I realized that the right tie rod is touching the rack. Has somebody ever had this issue before? Thanks for your help Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fvike 173 Report post Posted September 10, 2016 Yeah, I' got those same marks on my TCP rack. Also had Granada spindles at the time (got '70 Mustang spindles now). I think their bump steer kit fixed the problem. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kevin31 21 Report post Posted September 15, 2016 I talked with the technical support of TCP, and he said that depending on the car itself, that can happen on occasion. So I checked if i would need to purchase the bump steer kit, and when I look how my tie rod and LCA are parallel, I think it is not necessary to install a such kit the only solution would be to modify the spindle stop of the steering to prevent the tie rod hitting the rack Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RPM 1,190 Report post Posted September 15, 2016 Kevin I would definitely use a steering stop to keep the parts from making contact. With all the mods including steering, wider wheels and tires and lowered ride heights some of us do, it would be handy to to have adjustable spindle stops. On the OE spindle there is a area built into the forging for the stop, but I don't recall what is on the OE lower control arm or if it is adjustable. Seems to me it wouldn't be to difficult to modify the OE lower arm for adjustable stops if they don't have them. I added adjustable stops to my home fabbed arms.
