Do you have one to get rebuilt or are you looking for a new one?

Thanks, I’ve been there… rebuild only as of today.

I think Rare Parts Stockton CA has em. Have shop buy it, much better price.

[quote quote=15160] I think I have the same 7/8” as Joe and although the pedal is low it works great. [/quote]

I initially had the same problem with the pedal being low. I somewhat expected that, given the smaller bore needs more stroke to provide the same volume of fluid to the wheels. I then replaced the flex hose to the rear axle (which was o…[Read more]

The SP-22F has the ridge, fits perfect for the little bottom clamp.
If I had a choice I’d gone with the top clamp style, more versatility.

I believe that MC is also for power brakes and has a shallow pocket for the actuating rod, manual brake MCs have a deep pocket for that rod. You can make it work but you need to fab up something to prevent the rod from slipping out. There are options for 1” manual MCs, I think I have the same 7/8” as Joe and although the pedal is low it works gre…[Read more]

I would like to know as well what people are using. My original one is nice as could be and I am seriously thinking about reusing it. Not sure if NOS would be easy to find or not but I suspect that it is the same for many years and applications. I still need to look into it myself.

I just checked it, it has 9 springs. I have a rebuild place here- Southland Clutch-that will be doing it.
What are we using for throw out bearing, part number, or source?

Steering linkage is done. Phosphate coated all the bolts and hardware. The sleeves should not be phosphate I do not believe but I decided to on this car. I think they were natural steal when new but not sure.

I just had my clutch and pressure plate rebuilt by Clutch Dynamics in Lansing Michigan. He charged me $172 total with shipping. Mine was the second Jetfire clutch he rebuilt in 6 months. I have not driven it yet but it looks good. If you send it in to rebuilt by someone I would tell them you don’t want it painted. I didn’t think of it and they…[Read more]

Good deal Greg! It also appears that you have the three finger style pressure plate. If you have intentions to replace the pressure plate, I recommend that you have the three finger one rebuilt. Current day replacements are the diaphragm style and are not as good! Be sure that all spring locations have springs. (non-Jetfire pressure plates only…[Read more]

Confirmed that this car has the Jetfire specific 10” clutch.

That S10 master cylinder has a 1″ bore. Again, you need to really understand the relationship between bore size and pedal pressure and stroke. My 7/8″ bore M/C noticeably reduced pedal pressure.

[quote quote=15140]Here is a question, that I don’t see answered…. What about the vacuum booster. What sixe ,and where is this get mounted. Second question…..Wilwood has a remote master cylinder…..thoughts?[/quote]

The car weighs 2600 lbs. Why do you need a vacuum booster? The stock booster was under the dash. You’d need to find one of those i…[Read more]

There are two styles, the one with the bracket that goes over the top of the battery and the one with the small clamp on the side. My South Gate-built 62 wagon came with the latter. Unfortunately,…[Read more]

Original starter wire loom cover has missing section. A place called Restoration Supply Co has them in all sizes. They also have the white braided cover for the choke tube on automatic cars
