    No problem bleeding the brakes.... Try removing the lines at the master cylinder and use your fingers to seal the holes while you have someone in the car slowly cycling the brake pedal, kind of like an on car bench bleed. Is there pressure? Check the holes at the bottom of the reservoir for obstructions, use a wire to clean them out. Was there any crud in the bore of the master cylinder when you took the rear cap off to remove the valve? I sprayed some crap out of mine while I was there.

    My guess would be the unique rear axle and only a 4.30 or 4.9 ratio available.

    I believe he is running a HEMI

    I'm pretty sure that's what I used but I didn't move my hard line mounting point. Wish I had a better picture...

    The factory valve will be too much for disc brakes, been there - done that. Remove it and try without any valve, you may be pleasantly surprised as I was years ago.

    With 4.3 gears, get an adapter and use a 518 OD or a 200 4R.

    Are you running stock 15" wheels? If so, check clearance with the Scarebird kit installed.

    Contact Wayfarer here on the forum (73RR on the HAMB), he has what you need. Either way an adapter is in your future.

    I took the rubber out of the valve and reinstalled the metal part. Is you rear axle disc or drum brakes? I am using this on the 49 with the flathead. The HEMI car has 4 wheel power disc brakes. Nothing stock except the body and the middle 6 feet of frame.

    Yes, at the time I was thinking about adding the residual pressure valves but I tried it without them. That was ~5 years ago and thousand of miles ago.

    Hello Michael, I run a 3.0 rear axle with 235.60.15 (26") rear tires, runs about 3000 RPM at 70 and works well with no overdrive. Just wish I had a taller 2nd gear... When I commute regularly I get about 18-19 mpg. I have a 2.8 gear set I may try but for now it works. Remember I have a short rear tire, better to choose a shorter and lighter tire and adjust your gear ratio to match instead if cramming a large heavy tire in there. Adam

    I used the gaskets to make mine. Lots of measuring, fitting, measuring and starting over.... In the end it worked great

    This should help Weber Vacuum Ports.pdf

    Excellent choice.... I used 15x7 front and 15x8 rear on my 49. I know the rear had a 4" backspace and I think the front also had a 4" backspace but I can't remember. The 8" wheel fit perfect with no rubbing BUT my rear axle is 1.5 inches narrower than stock, front end is stock. I ordered the wheels from Amazon but they are sold by JEGS.

    They might be trying to verify your purchase or there was some sort of running change

    WOW!! Nice job... More pictures PLEASE! P.S. Put a 4bbl on that intake

    Seen this around at a few local shows.
  18. Adam H P15 D30
    No, stay with Dot 3

    I've put buckets in a few cars, I think they look better without the headrests.

    Put a Volare front clip in my 47 Ford and I love it. Ride and handling is great, nice compact slightly adjustable torsion bar suspension. Only downside was the steering box is big and in the engine bay right under the motor mount but it was doable.
  21. Adam H P15 D30
    Are you taking into account that the piston probably doesn't come all the way to the top (0 deck)?
  22. Adam H P15 D30
    I easily fit 15x7 rims in the front of mine.
  23. Adam H P15 D30
    No increase in track that I noticed. Accepts factory 15” wheels too, most others won’t I am using the stock master cylinder with the pressure check valve removed. No other residual check valves added. Been on for several years now and 1000s of miles with zero issues.

    Drilling and tapping was easy and I did it on the car. I used vice grips to lock the spindle in place while I did it. Rustyhope is the best kit out there.

    And the light bulb goes on, forgot about that little detail . Thank you for the clarification...
