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.

The compressor I bought has vertical O-ring connections, much different than the ones on the york. Does anyone know where I can find an adapter to make up to old hoses? (they're new hoses, and in grea ...

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.

Absolutely.

It's easy. There's a drain plug in the buttom.

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.

K, went and got a new ignition switch. I'm not gonna lie, getting that old key out was next to impossible, and I don't know why it was such a pain,or how it got stuck...but I did get it out.

Should I cut the key down enough to slide the bezel over it so I can get the cylinder out? but still have enough to be able to grab the key with pliers? Fortunately it wasn't the original key, but dam ...
