On my 68 fury I used the old 15x7 cop car wheels 20 yrs ago when they were strong,cheap and readily available...4 1/4 inch backspace...don't know about your body style but mine's pretty low and I only have about an inch of clearance up front with the wheel turned between the tire and outer...

NAPA 36756...73 fury...the drum brake hose points upward, i drilled another hole for the retaining tab on the hose bracket and rebent the metal line so the hose became more horizontal

old thread and no idea if you'll see this but just got a 65-68 26" C-body consenser from you and the upper passenger side bracket is incorrect...upper and lower on that side should be the same length and it appears that the shorter drivers side upper bracket was used on the passenger side...I...

dumb question...was the car stored level? if it was nose up the carb could have dumped into the 2 rear cylinders...maybe float level too high?

a normal flasher relay has a bimetallic strip that heats up and bends to open its contacts...when it cools it bends the other way and closes the contacts...this is why the bulb blinks off and on...generally LEDs wont draw enough current to heat up the strip and they wont flash...therefore they...

68 a one year only...67 mounted in a smaller hole...I finally found a junkyard one and had the bezel rechromed...Vans makes a replacement nut cause most of the used ones have been removed with a hammer and chisel or visegrips....the nut is listed for 68-74 so MAYBE the later antenna will work if...

the time delay relay (which doesn't look like a relay at all) is located on the bottom of the a/c heater housing on the passenger side...below the flap that determines whether the blower pulls in outside air from the cowl or recirculates it from inside the cab...it turns the compressor on for a...

make sure the check valve on it is ok before you do anything drastic...

just to horrify the purists our oval track Fury had 3/8 spacers on the bolts between the lower ball joint and spindle and the strut bar shortened an inch...no clue what that would be in degrees

I've never heard a noticeable noise from a roller chain and i've put them in 6 of my vehicles through the years

a pic to show the difference in grain structure would be great...

Another method...4 Jack stands and strings...strings parallel, measured off rockers and rear tires...at wheel centerline...incredibly tedious to get it all set up right but it works

i went for the Carlsons just because RA said they were steel while the Raybestos ones weren't specific and the last thing i wanted was to wind up with phenolic ones... I guess ignorance is bliss but we did many disc conversions on our race cars (1/4 mile asphalt oval) and never changed...

did a resto on a 1940 Diamond T pickup that had one of those...DO NOT send it to Power Brake Xchange in Pittsburg...the master they did came back full of rust and glass beads (i pulled it apart to flush it cause customer requested silicone fluid and couldn't believe how bad it was)...the paint...

after a lot of forum searching used an oil called "Liquid Bearings" cause it allegedly wont gum up...stupidly expensive for a bottle that small
