This site has been really quiet. Who is planning to attend and will any of the vendors be there?
-
Are correct foam cushions available? I am headed this way in the future as well.

After having gone through my fair share of Eaton pumps, I do not believe what is pictured is a factory washer.
Be careful with the new seal kit, they include top seals that will block the cover vent, creating a new vent where the front seal is!

Looking around, thanks!
-
Great stuff! Thanks Kindly. 🙂

I was told that the location of the Automatic ring gear greatly complicate things. Trying to remove the starter with R3 headers... Well, this is a family place!

Aircraft supply companies will have the correct size.
Naturally!

Bumping this thread. I also have the 976 heads on my R2. However, I have flat top pistons and this engine has composite gaskets. I do not know who built it.
What am I to suppose my compression ratio is? Before I redo these heads, I am actively searching for the correct 582 heads which I read to be 67 ccs. Sounds like at least a step in the right direction? If my bores & pistons check out OK, I could easily trim a few ccs out of the correct heads in the course of chamber work, this should put me in much better shape than I am now?
What do the experts think?

1959-1964 Stude V8. Most of our vendors should have a pump, reservoir & bracket for you. They are easy to go through & re seal, lots of info out there.
The internet is your friend

Someone may have simply installed the wrong wheel cylinders.
They are special for disk brake cars.

I just did mine this spring.
The old springs were very soft, The car bottomed easily though the springs had not sagged much.
The new springs are extremely "factory" in their ride and height. That is, it rides like a "normal" passenger car.
My preference would have actually been for a little more firm spring!
Go for it, you will not look back.

Got an NOS one w/ Box from my '64.
"What am I bid"?

Hey Packard, PM sent.

Replace it. Install a tandum master if you drive your car.
I think it is Meyers who has worked out the proper fit w/ the brake switch fitting.
-
The ultimate experience?
Me thinks you need to get out more!
-
Time to build a fresh pump. Is it supposed to be black?
I think this one came off a '62 daytona & appears silver.

GOOD LUCK.
I purchased these parts several years ago and i'm not sure any human knows where the engine side part goes.
The undercar portion is designed for an Avanti II and will need to be cut down in height to fit. (bet the seller didn't tell you that?)
I have asked many times for advice/ photos showing the engine compartment part installed and have had no constuctive help.
Please let us know what you find.

Before I pull things apart can someone confirm the rear seat speaker size?
Is it 5x7?
Thanks!

Two things to keep in mind:
The OEM has not used "can" coils in decades and they are not domesticaly made anymore.
Pertronics coils are from China and are junk. Pick up and old OEM coil at a swap meet or a junk yard and it will likely last many years. Bosch coils could be an option and were still made in Germany a couple of years ago. The internal resistance is important and easy to measure, if you run out of steam at 4 grand, look to the coil.
Also engines under boost conditions demand a big spark. "Got boost?"

I have done the usual searches but cant find a carb kit for a '64 R2.
Does someone have a NAPA or Advance #? I tried Rockauto.

Anyone know where the meet is this year?
-
Any News on a 2010 convention?
If mine survives the Hunnert Car Heads Up, I hope to make it.
