I would like to publicly say a big thank you here to member Ed Ruhl, in Michigan, for being a great customer of mine, by sending me his Kelsey Hayes, 4 piston calipers for me to do the rebuilding on.
He was an excellent customer of mine, thorough out my rebuilding process.
So then Ed, thank you very much.
I appreciate all your very favorable comments to me.

I know the engine brackets (not the rubber isolators) have been discussed ad nauseum here but this particular question I couldn’t find. I found a set of 340/360 mounts from a ‘71 Road Runner, they are still bolted to the engine and in the car. I have the isolators, I only need the brackets that bolt to the engine to put it into my ‘67 Barracuda, does anyone know if the engine brackets are the same across all body lines from the ‘67-‘72 range? It would seem logical if Mopar used the...

Hello all,
I’m in the process of changing over my brakes to the KH disc brakes.
I have the completed setup but having a hard time getting the pistons out of the calipers. I tried air to no avail used grease got one piston out but can’t seem to get the other one out. I’ve tired to place a metal plate over the removed piston and the grease just keep squeezing grease out around the plate.
Also have the bleeders rusted and can’t get them to move. Don’t want to brake them off.

By the Dyno numbers I'm guessing it will run low 10s and 130-135 mph.
I have done the calculations for both gears.

OK Here is what I'm running. It is a Holley #4150 (750) and it was rebuilt with the Quick Fuel Tech. billet metering blocks on both sides.
Here's the problem. When the car sits for a few days both of the bowls are dry. Even the pump is dry.
And here's another thing. If you let the car sit for a half hour and then restart it, it just runs really poor. It seems like its really rich.
If you have had this problem please let me know.
