Re: What MC/Booster are you guys running on Power Disc setup

Tried Wilwood, looks good, quality, so so considering price. I have had very few problems with new original style components. I've done lots of "rework" on systems not set up to factory guidelines. Without knowing specifics, that is often a possible factor. Paul Originally I bought a rebu...

Re: Found a potential donor for a sway bar setup..

It looks a lot like ones I've seen on some trucks I've seen around at shows.. but just wonder if that bracket is the same as the 250s and 100s .

Re: hood

as far as I know.. i've removed a 61,63,64,65 hood... they all had 4 holes.. what im wondering is if your nut plate just moved and your not seeing the holes.. I had a problem with that on my 65.. hopefully thats just your problem.. because that would look like you only had 2 holes.
