Thanks! I didnt even think about the pump not spinning (too many different things to think about as Im almost done, lol). Looks like I'm off to the "get 'em store" to grab a couple additional quarts to install after I set the timing, lol. Thanks!

First time building a car completely. Custom frame, air bags, etc. Using a TH350 for transmission. This is a newly rebuilt transmission (no fluid in it). I'd read anywhere from 9-11 quarts on a completely empty trans. I'd poured a quart in the torque converter prior to stabbing it in the...

Heading to your channel now. What kind of compressor do you typically use?

Yuppers, gonna just swap the hose. Male on both ends if I can to put the master cylinder side directly in to the rear proportioning valve. Thanks!

I am looking at needing a male on both sides of that fitting, because my "T" has the inverted flare female: "T" fitting: https://www.speedwaymotors.com/AFCO-40251-Brake-System-3-16-Inch-Inv-Flare-Tee-Fitting,41359.html Brake hose I have to hook to the "T"...

Running all my new lines using the nickel/copper alloy 3/16" line. I have run into a snag going from the one line from the master cylinder to the "T" that splits between the two calipers. The "T" has a female inverted flare fitting (IFF) and the 15" rubber line from the output of the...

Ah ok. I'll take a hard measurement of what I have. That's what I get for assuming, lol. If they are the same, there are all manner of bolt on kits that fit GM 10 and 12 bolts. I was about to pull the trigger on the weld on kits. Thanks!

Soooo...Speedway makes a weld on bracket for a 78-88 mid sized GM caliper. Thinking this may be a better option as thats what is on the front of my car. Curious as to what the rotor might be. I have all the part numbers for calipers/pads/etc. But I need to figure out what rotor that would...

I found this as well. The Pontiac is apparently slightly different than the GM 12 bolts

Thats what I was hoping to do. Flipping left to right would net the same thing (caliper at 2 o'clock). The 4 mounting holes have just one pattern that they can mount to the rear end (the two top holes are about 1/2"-3/4" wider than the bottom two holes. I'll step out to the garage to take...

I have a 97 Firebird rear end going into my 29 Model A. Its a great width but now that I am doing the calipers, they are going to hit the body in the factory location. I unbolted the mounting plate, in order to rotate it down and out of the way, only to find there is only one way to mount...

I bought a set for a Jeep CJ. I got 14 mounts for like 20 bucks at Jegs. They are 5/8" thick, 1/2" mounting hole I.D., 2" overall O.D.

I'd though about doing the longer rod and putting it under my seat (wouldnt care about the bump there. Can you do that safely? Curious about flex in the rod. My pea-brain says maybe like a tie rod/panhard bar with clevis'd end and just a short section of the push rod at the cylinder.

I've seen those. I could do that, but I'd have to remove the bottom of cowl gas tank. Can you get to the reservoir on those?

I have built a frame using 2x3x3/16 tubing. I am at that point where I am trying to decide what kind of master cylinder to use and where to put it. Throughout the build, I was just thinking simple under the car, pedal arm all inclusive, frame mounted one like my 32 Ford had. My issue is that...

Found one of these: https://swperformanceparts.com/product/12-premium/

Who has/sells a decent wiring harness that has tech support. I've done 12 volt stuff for 20+ years, but not wired a complete car. I dont feel it'll be an issue, but I am looking to purchase a decent kit for my model A sedan rat rod. VERY bare bones car (lights, coil, radio, electric fan, fuel...

I got ahold of the company today. They are sending the missing "sleeves" for the standard 78-88 GM mid-sized bearings. If something doesnt pan out with them, I'll definitely look into Speedway. I've bought a bunch from them on this build too. Thanks!

The 78-88 Malibu/El Camino/etc. mid-sized cars seem to be what a lot of guys use.

I bought a set of 28-48 spindles from SAE-Speed (https://www.sae-speed.com/products/1928-1948-ford-straight-axle-round-spindle-with-king-pin-kit-bushings-installed?_pos=4&_sid=36dba63d3&_ss=r). I couldnt find anywhere from them what size bearings to get for the typical GM import 80's front hub...
