Maintenance / 69 brake booster with drums

« on: February 01, 2014, 03:15:58 PM »

Hopefully a quick question.

I have drums all the way around. Looking to add a booster. Will NOT be doing a disk conversion.

I believe I will need a different master cylinder, correct?

How about the proportioning valve?, do I need one, or are those for the disk brakes?

Anything else I need to think about?

Restoration / bouncing speedometer help

« on: January 14, 2010, 06:59:42 PM »

I had to replace the original speedometer which was not bouncing. After the new one was installed, now my needle is bouncing.

Do I need to replace the cable? Aside from the bouncing, it is reading accurate.

thanks.

Restoration / Hurst competition plus- which one?

« on: February 01, 2009, 04:54:31 PM »

I am adding the center console to my 69.  I have a Muncie M-21 4 speed.  I know I need the Hurst competition plus shifter with the offset arm so it will not catch on the console shift plate. 

My question is, which one, the round bar or the flat bar arm? I have seen 2 different shift body numbers #2083 and #3128. and some different handle numbers #7236, #7436 (not sure if someone made a typo) and  #7238. 

Will I also need the installation kit for the Muncie trans?

any help is appreciated.

Restoration / astro vent emblem removal

« on: January 28, 2009, 12:52:08 AM »

How is the astro vent emblem removed from the left side dash? Are there speed nuts, or does it just pull off.  Thought I would ask before trying to remove. It is a 69.

thanks,

Restoration / Chrome enhancer for instrument cluster/air vents

Has anyone tried the OEM paints "liquid Foil" from Classic Industries.

Looking to spruce up the chrome trim/lettering on the instrument cluster and air vents. I was going to try the chrome mylar strips, but was looking for something a bit easier.

thanks.

I have searched for the answer, but could not find.

What is the paint code or color (flat, semi, ect) for a 69 headlamp bezel-black. I believe they should be black with a black grill, correct??

thanks for the help.
