I've thought about making them power brakes, bu ... |

I'm trying to see how I can disconnect the brake pedal from the MC linkage, and I see where it connects, but I'm not seeing how to disconnect it for a master cylinder replacement. |

k, but what about a pressure plate and throw-out bearing?
Also I think that's a Dynapack number, it's showing as discontinued. |

Looking for a clutch rebuild kit for my 63 fairlane. 3sp w/ OD
So far everyone I've looked, it's discontinued. Anyone know of a source, or a way to swap out the 23 spline for a 10spline drive line? |

rather than do that, I put the more modern vinyl/plastic stuff. Got it from JC Whitney, and if you don't know that it was cloth originally, it looks like it's supposed to go there. |

1. Drain your fuel.
2. Undo the two metal tank straps
3. Tank is fairly light, but tricky to hold.
4. Drop bumper end first.
5. cr ... |

well this isn't much help, but on the pillars I used the plastic stuff from JC Whitney. Sure, it's not the original cloth type, but it looks so good, you don't even give it a second glance. |

Non-latch side (the flat metal piece) goes on the door side. Latch side of the belt goes on the passenger side of the driver. |
