I dropped this on the Fox body forum b/c technically it is one…just with two more doors. I’m building a ‘84 LTD LX. I have several parts cars lying around and not sure what I want to do. The car is intended to be a DD. I already have a 2003 Cobra IRS installed (pending either bolting in or...

I have the MDL conversion kit. If you search the title of this post, I have another thread that talks about my challenges to get it working. This post is just general info. On the Cobra, the driver side cam cover has the PCV valve located on the upper rear corner (see pic of silver cam...

Update: It’s important to make sure that there is no preload on the master cylinder during the bleeding process. Preload will close the MC transfer port and you won’t be able to use the MDL one man bleeder kit. My issue was that I was only getting 1.2 inches of travel on the MC when it needs...

I have the MDL conversion kit. On the Cobra, the driver side cam cover has the PCV valve located on the upper rear corner. It is very close to where the clutch cable passes through the firewall. The MDL kit repurposes this hole to mount the hydraulic master cylinder, pass through the...

Threw in the towel and pulled the trans back out. After three times in two weeks, I can do it in just over an hour . I found that I had pinched one of the steel braided lines - I don’t remember which one (MC or bleed as I type this several hours later), but at least I found something wrong… I...

Thanks for all the suggestions. At some point I have get past the “if at first you don’t succeed, try, try again” & move to Einstein’s definition of insanity… Mechanically - this was part of a T56 magnum tranny upgrade. I did not index the bellhousing. How much misalignment would cause the...

yes, the MC hose is on the bottom and the bleed hose is on the top. I have vaccumed the bleed hose, but not the MC feed hose. FWIW, MDL says vacuum will damage the slave cylinder (haven’t verified this with Tilton) and not to bleed it that way….but at this point, the car has been on jack...

TOB moves as soon as the pedal is pressed. I can’t get it to move enough to release the clutch. I have no indication of air in the system using multiple bleeding techniques.

Yes. Tech support is available and have been as helpful as can be over the phone.

yes. TOB moves, but not enough to release the clutch. Tech support claims this is evidence of air in the system.

no, but it’s worth a try. more to follow…

It’s a hydraulic throwout bearing. I have bled both master and slave, no leaks that are readily apparent.

BLUF: I can’t get the clutch to disengage. I have bled and bled and bled…going on weeks now. Tried multiple different methods: traditional press pedal and open bleeder, close bleeder & release pedal = no indication of air in the line. Tried MDL’s force fluid technique, again, no indication of...

Which size master did you use? Did you consciously choose the master with remote reservior instead of the integrated reservoir? I’m getting ready to do this as soon as I talk myself into pulling the tranny. On jackstands . Lying on my back….

muchas gracias! & I already tried my 12 ton press - maxed it plus about 20%. It was then I figured I was missing something.

Does anyone have an idea how to remove the sealed bearings from the front hubs? Do they press out through the front? Through the rear? Is there a machined boss in the middle and a bearing puller is required? Any info would be greatly appreciated. TIA!

Background: I did a Teksid block swap that took me several months of having the car apart. When I removed the S/C, I left it bolted to the intake manifold assembly and just set it on the workbench until I was ready to reinstall it. Now the car is running again, but I have a loud squeal from...

First, thanks in advance for taking the time to read my long-winded post! Since owning my car I have had repeated alternator issues. The battery light would come on and shortly thereafter, the battery would not maintain a charges. On three separate alternators, the output post would get so...

I need help finding a source for a carbon fiber rear spoiler that I saw at the Knott's Fab Fords Forever show. Unfortunately, the car owner was out and about & I didn't have a chance to ask. It looks like the rear spoiler that Maier Racing has in their 99-04 wide body kit, only constructed of...
