Re: 56 TBird
Uh, because it is a simple statement ... :confused: ...

Re: 56 TBird
Well, why not a ECZ-A BLOCK & GREEN SEAT-COVERS?
Why the call-out on the timing cover? Is it something special that will give an extra fifty horsepower?
If he has a secret, he should share.

Re: Rear end squealing/whining
The noise(s) has to be isolated and diagnosed properly.
Try to avoid the loaded PARTS CANNON APPROACH.
There will be DIAGNOSTIC ROUTINES in your WORKSHOP MANUAL.

Re: Rear end squealing/whining
That test is done with the vehicle raised. It will isolate any wheel bearing(s) noise.
Are you sure the noise is not coming from the clutch/trans?

Re: Monterey hydraulic clutch conversion?
What you are describing can be done, but why would you do it on a driver rather than a HI-PO car? You have a FYB and 3/S TRANS?
You want an external slave cylinder?
