    On my 48 I left the original MC on, and added a bracket, and Mustang II MC..worked very good......

    Here is a couple of photos of the 88 and 89 Volvo caliper. The closest to the original photo so far....

    Not sure of anything so far 55. I get conflicting info from different sellers. Going by the first posts photos, my best guess so far, is the rear rotor from a 68 1800s, and the caliper from the 1988 Volvo 240.....
  4. Robert Horne
    In the first post photo, the rotor seemed very high. This photo of a 1968 rotor, Volvo 1800S, is for the rear, 4 1/2 bolt circle, seems higher than front rotors. I seen rotor listings of 67 to 74 140 Volvos that suppose to fit 1800S Volvo, but had a 4.25 circle.

    Thanks for the link. I have not been looking into old enough Volvos for the 4 4/5 bolt pattern. I had researched a few years ago on doing disc brakes, with Explorer rotors, and some type of bracket for the caliper. The Volvo setup would be the way to go, it seems. I will do more research into this... My stock brakes have worked ok, until the last time I drove my 38, and front brakes failed, due to loss of fluid. I still had rear brakes, thanks to the Bronco MC setup....

    I have not been able to find which Volvo has the 4.5 bolt circle so far...
  7. Robert Horne
    This setup seems to be a early Volvo, maybe a 88 or 89, caliper that has a mounting center bolt holes at about 3.5 inch. The Plymouth mounting holes are about 3 5/8 across the top, and about 5 5/16 from top to bottom. I believe he used the original top rear bolt hole, and drilled the bottom rear hole for the second mounting bolt for the caliper mounting.. The rotor may be an Explorer to get the 4.5 inch lug pattern....

    The rotor hub section looks very deep. I thought about a setup on my 38, using an Explorer disc...Still use the original hub....
  9. Robert Horne
    The Volvo rear disc is solid, & has a 108mm/4.25 inch bolt circle.

    The Lincoln, Navigator look very similar.........

    The bench seat and floor shifter was no problem...

    Does the head on your engine have any numbers that would indicate the year? My 56 has a 55 number on the head.

    Do an ebay search of "canister",,,,, "inline",,,,, or "remote" oil filters.....
  14. Robert Horne
    There are several filter systems available on ebay.

    Now if they would install an electric fan, and an alternator/generator pulling 5 or 6 amps to run the fan and see the HP saved.

    In that case, the Ranger rear may be a better fit for your wheels.. I had to add 1inch or so, spacers to get my 235/75-15 "police wheels" out where I wanted them.
  17. Robert Horne
    With the S10 rearend, you would need to use Chevy wheels. Suggest go with an Explorer or Jeep rear. I used a Ranger rear, and had to use 1 inch spacers.

    With my Ranger 5 speed/218 setup/3.73, my first gear is almost like a "granny" gear, (great in Virginia though), and top gear is great over 40mph. Hope to try 3.55 soon. With a 2.7 rear, my top gear would not get much use, unless I was going downhill.....
  19. Robert Horne
    Look on Ebay, under marine tach. I use one with a white face, works good....
  20. Robert Horne
    I installed a Ranger rear in my 38 Coupe a few years ago. The Ranger rear is very narrow, so I used adapters to get the tires out to where I was happy with. I used an Explorer driveshaft.

    The yellow tube is my draft tube, with a pcv valve that is attach to a vac line, works good..
  22. Robert Horne
    My 98 XJ Jeep 2 wheel drive has a 3.55 rear, looks to be a good fit for my 37 or 38 Coupe.....
  23. Robert Horne
    When I installed my 5 speed Ranger trans, I made an temp adapter to fit a temp driveshaft, to fit on my Plymouth rearend, Worked ok. I later changed to a Ranger rear, with a Explorer driveshaft..
  24. Robert Horne
    I installed the glass on the hose that comes from the heater and goes to the water pump, easy to see the coolant.....
  25. Robert Horne
    Found these on ebay a few years ago, about $10.......
