USA Auto on 18 1/2 mile is a great boneyard. I remember Warhoops. Now, you would never even know that Warhoops existed. I remember seeing a 1962 Lancer Wagon with the side windows deleted at that yard just before they closed up. Had a tree growing up through the spare wheel well, then...
Aaaahhhh....that's a "Craig kit". You won't be disappointed! I just did the entire front end on my 69 Fury (same as yours). Not a bad job. Be sure to replace those lower control arm bushings! I only say this because people often skip that part because "appears" labor intensive. The job is...
Hey Commando1,
You are correct. However, I went back-to-back on the disc setups. I hadn't seen anyone do that. I also have seen many individual posts about all three topics that I touched on. I was simply trying to everything into one little note.
Next time, just skip rather than be a troll.
Hi everyone,
I wanted to share what I have learned over the last six weeks while working on my 1969 Fury III 318 droptop, and share some direct comparisons. I will try, but will most likely fail, to keep this short...
1) The previous owner had the car changed over from manual drum to SSBC...
I haven't posted an update in a while. Bigsexy is that the alignment shop. this is a really cool place built inside of an old gas station. You have to get an appointment at least 6 weeks in advance at this place. I just thought these pictures looked cool, and I love the look with the wider...
I can give you some first-hand live experience....
Bought my 1969 Fury in February of 2023. Previous owner had someone install SSBC rotors, calipers, adapters, and adjustable rear brake valve. Also installed a LEEDS brake booster.
1) Car stops fine in a controlled stop. However, a panic...
Ok.....Here's question.
I just put my 69 fury back together. I rebuilt the entire front suspension, and did a factory disc setup on it. I set the ride height. From my eyes, the ride height looks good. I did the factory procedure from the shop manual where you measure from the lowest point of...
Here are a few photos of the last couple of days funsies. I wish I had a quality tubing Bender, but I did the best I could with what I had.
I'm glad I kept the pedal also out of the 72 New Yorker. I now have proper pedal for power brakes with the proper pivot point. between the new suspension...
Sorry...yes. I will post photos tonight. Suspension is in place. Struggling with achieving rotors for the 1972 brake system. I got burned by the "the computer says these will fit" at the local auto parts store (they sold me 1973 rotors). However, I will be getting some Raybestos 7012...
Hello,
I I'm looking for the rubber brake pedal cover that fits the pedal from a 72 New Yorker. I used the pedal assembly for my manual drum to power disc conversion on my 69 fury. unfortunately the rubber pedal is gone. I don't care whether it has the stainless trim or not, though that would...
So I'm converting my 69 Fury over to brakes from a 72 New Yorker. I figured I would do this while I'm doing the complete suspension rebuild. today with much effort and heat, I got the bleeders and the brake lines out of each caliper, so that's good. one caliper had a very stuck piston, which I...
