General Discussion / brake pedal pressure difference 68 to 69?

« on: April 23, 2025, 05:04:33 PM »

my 69 z needs a nice easy pressure on the pedal to stop,
whereas my 68 z requires noticeably more pedal pressure.

while I was having the original 68 power booster restored, I was running an aftermarket which allowed for less brake pedal pressure to stop.
but now with the rebuilt oe, it's quite stiff.

all lines good and no leaks, booster holds vacuum for days.

could the different pedal pressures between the 68 and 69 just be the nature of the beasts.
Thanks in Advance.

General Discussion / Crossram air Filters air flows

« on: January 19, 2023, 04:52:40 PM »

is there an after-market Crossram inexpensive 2.5" tall air filter available.

does not need to be show quality or replicated.

I have a couple of the 1.75" tall $25.00 filters but unsure about inadequate air flow when I get on it.
or, maybe I'm ok with 1.75" talls
Any thoughts will be appreciated.
Thanks in Advance,

General Discussion / Crossram under std cowl hood

« on: November 19, 2022, 04:32:09 PM »

Just wondering if the cross ram will work with the std (round hole) cowl hood.
Or does anyone know of modifications that can be made the hood to accept the crossram.
Not too crazy about modifying an original cowl hood, but I will on my aftermarket one.
Any ideas or recommendations will be appreciated.
Thanks in Advance,

Garage Talk / Vintage O2 Engine analyzer parts or repairs

« on: October 19, 2022, 05:03:44 PM »

Looking recommendations for parts or someone who can repair a vintage exhaust gas analyzer.
The O2 sensor in the sensing unit box is bad.
Peerless Part # HA 8210 A, but this unit is also used with the Stewart Warner, Sears Penske and some Sun Analyzers.
Meter unit is good.

Hoping there's another O2 sensor that can be used with this meter.

Thank in Advance,
