I'm not familiar with the Leed Brake booster, but many have chosen that one. It looks to be identical as far as bolt pattern goes. As for the cover plate seen in your pic d4b**** I honestly don't remember if that just came out when I removed the peddle bracket or whether I had to cut it out. The...

As a new member, we'd love to hear more about your car with some pics, we love pics! There is a section for Introductions. Welcome from SW Ontario, Canada.

That's curious you had a problem with the Dorman unit. I assume it was the 692232. I have had that one in my car since 2017 and no issues so far. The only thing I see is when full, the needle fluctuates slightly, sometime more than full, other time just below. However, I typically refill when it...

I can only get Amazon.ca, (Canadian), and it was $400 Cdn PLUS shipping @ 65 bucks. A huge difference!! And they're made in Canada. Buy where you get the best deal. In 2017, when I bought my tank off R/A, it was $175 Cdn plus 50 bucks shipping for the entire order. I guess things have changed...

Rock Auto was way cheaper. Also the problem I had with the Spectra FG87A sending unit, it was incorrect for left hand application, the outlet tube was facing the wrong way. It was returned to RA and I ordered the Dorman 692232, which was correct and a good unit. It did need calibrating for a 1/4...

I replied to your questions in Marks1 post. Converting manual drums to factory disc..... What booster are you trying to install.

Well, I did this swap back in 2010 when I installed the SSBC disc kit which uses the original drum spindles. I did not do the booster upgrade till 2016 when I had to have the engine out (again) for a rebuild, so still a long time ago to remember exactly, but I'll do my best to answer your...

By the time you're done, it will be like a brand new car and therefore starts at 00000. The past milage is just that, past milage.

Sounds like a plan. It looks like you'll need a new tail light panel as well. Again, buy the best repop you can get, it always pays off in the end. Good luck moving forward and looking forward to seeing the results.

It's the INSIDE that matters!! That's why the Spectra Premium is arguably the best because the inside (and outside) is Terne Coated, which is a tin/zinc alloy. This is essential now we're forced (in most places) to use Ethanol gas. Don't cheap out would be my advice.

Not sure what to advise other than mentioned in the above posts. The vapor cap on the tank is taken off your old tank. I don't think there is a replacement 'element', but some have used an SS scrub pad cut to size. Calibrating a new sending unit in a new empty tank isn't too hard. Add 5 US...

Today I called Dan at Chockostang. Even his phone line isn't the best, but I was able to find out that he doesn't usually sell individual bushings, but would work something out if I emailed him. Shipping is another issue as international would be in a "flat rate" box. A simple padded envelope...

I do have a Mach 1 and I get the biggest charge when I'm driving slowly, windows down of course, and I hear a young kid say "look, it's a Mach 1!" That gets the biggest smile on my face. I was at a show last week and unfortunately not at my car, when some guy was asking a friend about my car...

Yeah, if only I still had access to the machine shop where I worked. We had stacks of that stuff.......... well, some anyway. However, this pump project is not worth that expense as it's just something I'm keeping myself amused with. I don't even need it. Thanks for your suggestions Don.

Thanks Hemikiller. While this is just a "little project" to keep me amused and out of the wife's hair, this contact info will be useful to keep on hand and for others tagging along. I will call them to see if they have a bushing.

I already looked into that. My local bearing supply company feels that bronze will not stand up to the extreme side load placed on the shaft and ware out quickly.

Sorry, I contacted classicautoparts.com that you first mentioned. When I tried to load chockostang............ my security system blocked it as a malicious site. In your first reply, I think maybe there was some confusion as to the web address. As said, it's no big deal for me as this pump is...

Well, for anyone else thinking of rebuilding a pump and needing a shaft bushing, I called classicautoparts.com and the part needed, D1AZ-3B682-A is now NLA. I supposed this means I still have nothing to do!! Thinking more on this; if Cardone for example, can still rebuild these pumps, where are...

Well at least Jag and Ford once had a connection, albeit not that good of one for Jag. The one good thing is he didn't stuff a Chevy LS engine in there, that would have been sacrilege!

Thanks, I'll give him a try.
