Sorry, I was addressing the captain with the no vacuum produced by exhaust manifold in that overall comment.

Joe you’re right, the carb choke of that type pulls vacuum. Your description is correct.
However, the exhaust manifold isn’t pulling or have vacuum, the carb is pulling vacuum. The exhaust manifold tube simply provides heated air for the carb vacuum.

Exhaust manifold won’t have vacuum.

Oh yeah, see that.

DVAP may have one they can pull and send you that you can use as a core.

Oops, see your discs now.

Joe you running discs? I have ss flex lines front and rear and pedal is still low. I am running discs up front which does take more fluid=more piston travel. Put self adjuster system on rear and they are working well too. But I live in the twisty Santa Cruz Mtns and the brakes work great low pedal and all.

I guess you talked to them but they show a new one with all “internal components” for ,gulp, $463 retail. If you can buy as a shop you can probably save 25-30% off that. Or is it you only want a rebuild core exchange?

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

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]

Yes, see an earlier post for dim differences

i Believe others here have done their own and gasket style is not that hard if you take your time and follow procedures. Used to pop my rear truck window out and in for a camper install, easier than a windshield but similar procedure with a cord. You can save money. I had mine done for me.

I bought a SP-22F, fit perfect. Was told it’s Nla as a car battery and is designated a garden tractor batt. Works good, 3years old, left lights on About a year ago and ran it flat and it charged back up and still going.

Too bad, basic function of a website gone. You’d think he could add it if directed to. Well at least we know what happened, poor work.

It would really be nice if the Webmaster would post a message as to status of the Old Search function.

I believe some massages have gone direct to them or I would imagine the monitor the Forum?

Wonder if the spring rates are diff for the diff bars? As far as being a purist, those were the days when you could order things like sway bars, HD cooling, stiffer springs etc etc on a car that didn’t “come” with them as stock. If it was available, the factory would equip the car as desired in many cases.

Sent a message to the Contact at top of page. Who does that go to?

Isn’t there a way to contact him through the website? Usually there’s a way to report problems by members of a forum.
