RICO There's many many hi torque starters out there. Is there a specific web site and part number you can point me to? Steve

tonysrt and moparleo For clarity, I did not build this car so I don't know some of the fine details. I only know what I can see. Anyway, it's a Mopar Performance crate engine but I don't know what the starter brand is. My lambo is on my lift right now doing my annual service so when I get that...

Thanks for the replies. I have a mini starter and 10:1 compression. The starter has the power to spin the engine after that first pause except when it is hot and heat soaked...another issue. I've insulated the starter and now have the materials to do a thermal wrap of the headers in the...

My engine is a 528 hemi cross ram in a 73 Barracuda. The battery is in the trunk. When I want to do a cold start or a hot start for that matter the starter will give me maybe 1/2 a turn and pause for a 1/4 second or so and then it will spin the engine with authority and it will start. I find...

Regarding vacuum...more is better. If everything else is good, 15 to 18inhg will normally be adequate. The problem here is that so many of our cars have brake systems that are put together from parts taken from different models of different cars all together so there is no way to know how it...

There is nothing more important than good brakes on these cars. Doing a complete brake system check as described in this thread is an important first step. I had an issue with my 528 hemi Cuda that had a power disk upgrade on all 4 corners. Braking was only fair in my opinion for normal...

Austa is correct, the rod connects directly to the pedal arm. The Hydratech unit adapter plate is quite thick due to the need to get the pushrod that comes out of the hydrobooster properly aligned and spaced to make the connection to the pedal arm and still have sufficient length adjustment to...

I'm sure it will be good for you:cool: Steve

Well, actually I'm 6'-1" and 195 lbs and still not flexible enough. Mine is a 3 pedal car and it is really busy under there with all of the pedal linkages. Anyway, with the hydrobooster the brake travel is about the same as before but the feel is a little softer at the heavy application end of...

For a variety of reasons this project got delayed. I decided to go with a hydroboost system from Hydratech. There were delays in getting the system delivered but the wait was definitely worth it. After installing the unit I have fantastic brakes. This is the only change I made and I could not be...

Reviving this thread. I'm all set to get the Truetrac for my Dana 60 but of course I need to know the spline count. This afternoon I pulled an axle shaft and was shocked to find that they are 23 spline. I'm totally confused now. I also discovered that the drive axle is not an actual Dana...

Update. I got my brake pressure gauge and measured the hydraulic pressure at the front calipers. First I measured the pressure with engine idling at 14 to 15 in. vacuum and heavy foot force on the pedal. Got 500 psi. Next removed the engine vacuum and temporarily installed a Stainless Steel...

Steve340 I don't see a function specifically called private message on this forum so I sent a message to you with my email address via "conversations".

Oops, forgot to upload the picture. Senior moment. Here it is.

Steve340 I've included a picture of the under dash brake linkage. Very busy space so you need to look closely to figure out what you are looking at. I thought that might be a residual pressure valve but couldn't understand why it was there in a disc disc system. I'll see what I can do to get...

Also, there seems to be more pedal travel before there is noticeable braking than I'm used to. Even so, I am not bottoming out the pedal against anything I can see. I've ordered a brake pressure gauge to see what I'm actually getting at the calipers. there is a "thing" in the front circuit that...

Steve340 When the pedal gets hard the car is definitely stopping but at that point the brakes will not lock up so there is more braking available at the tire patch that the brake system cannot provide. Before it gets to the hard feel I have a "power brake" feel to the pedal. The travel seems a...

moparleo Thanks for the reply. Do you have a hydroboost in an E body? If so what calipers and master cylinder are you running? what was the source of the hydroboost unit? Wanda73 says he used a Mustang Cobra unit from EBAY. I read that there are many cars that used them and of course there...

Your situation sounds just like mine. Brakes seem ok around town but in panic stop it feels like the master cylinder is bottoming...the pedal gets very hard and cannot lock the brakes. My setup is as follows: GM single pot rear calipers, GM master cylinder and dual diaphragm booster and...
