It has all to do with stopping power. If manual brakes are so great then why does the D.O.T. require power brakes, and now antilock brakes.. Again its making old cars better than new.

“Why keep manual brakes….. The whole point to convert to disc is power disc brakes… A hell of alot better stopping power. Its all about making old cars better than new.”

Uh, no. The brakes at the wheels neither know nor care if there is a power booster. All they know is the hydraulic line pressure. You don’t need a power booster to make suf…[Read more]

I mentioned in a previous post abouta shop in CA. The guy was pushing a C-4 on me with a ford driveshaft.. I talked to him about the 200c, and he said that the 200c uses a computer… I know the 200R4 does. Anyway then he was pushing a 289 motor. I think he got clueless when I told him what I had. Just an FYI.

This forum is a big part of why the Jetfire model has made it to where it is today. I only had the privilege of talking to Jim a couple times and a couple more emails but was always very helpful. Very thankful for Rick picking it up and keeping the forum going.

Doesn’t work like that for me Joe. I’m using an apple Ipad and Safari browser to get to google so maybe that’s the problem.

What OS are you using?

Thanks Rick, appreciate your work and the site that you’re carrying on.

Looking real nice Eric!

I just did a test. With this website open in one tab in Firefox, I opened a second tab and did a google search for a topic on the site, as I suggested above. When I open that topic, the pictures open up just fine. No gyrations, no magic, just two tabs open in the same browser.

Eric,
My best wishes to your wife also. I enjoyed meeting her at Homecoming. She is a sweetheart, take good care of her.

You too! We are about to head to my grandparents house. She is 89 and my Grandpa is 90. She still cooks for 30 to 40 of us that will cycle through her house today. I am so thankful to still have them with us and that they are doing well for their age.
