Decoding/Numbers / master cylinder casting number
« on: February 27, 2015, 12:18:28 AM »
According to the CRG article on master cylinder a 68 manual brake should have a master cylinder with casting number 5452310( without bleeders) and power should be 5460465(with bleeders).
On my car 4 drums power I have a 5352310, also if you look at the picture on the CRG article you see a picture of a master cylinder attached to a booster without bleeders !! Can somebody shine the light on that one ?
thanks

« on: July 26, 2013, 10:54:12 PM »
Hi Guys, everything was working fine on my 68 but I noticed the other day that my horn and my key buzzer did not work anymore.
Any ideas where I should start looking?
Wires are connected properly on the horn and on the horn relay.Fuse is ok.
thanks

Maintenance / front end noise
« on: September 11, 2009, 04:30:34 PM »
Hi everyone,I have a grinding sound when turning front wheels at slow speed or turning when stopped.

I greased the whole front end twice during the summer.I don't see anything loose or worn out rod ends etc.

I suspect steering box.it's a power steering.any suggestions what to check next or how to check or adjust steering box?

thanks in advance.

Maintenance / smelly exhaust gases
« on: May 26, 2009, 05:59:14 PM »
Hi guys,need some input here,exhaust gases smell smell pretty strong on my 68 327.to the point that myself and other occupants in the car still stink like "bad exhaust smell" after riding in the car even  after just a short drive.There is no blue smoke coming out from exhaust pipe.

Here's my set up: 327-210,bore .030,40 000 miles since rebuilt,compresson all within 15psi ,mild cam I believe its a tp 236,new r45s spark plugs 035 gap,breakerless stealth edition electronic ignition in original distributor(engine use to smell with my old ignition accel system),Vacuum advance to full vacuum,new plug wires,
original carb 2gv (rebuilt),original intake manifold,original exhaust manifolds,Gardner exhaust sytem.

Where I live we need to pass an emission test to license your car.Wich I pass.Here's some numbers:
On Driving test,Hydrocarbons PPm 183,carbon Monoxide % .22,Oxide of Nitrogen PPm 771
On Idle test,Hydrocarbons PPm 711,carbon Monoxide % 1.25

Since then I adjusted the carb richer now the engine idles better and the smell is not as bad as it use to be but still bad.I don't think I can go any richer.

what timing do you recommend?

any suggestion?

thank you.
