My 56 TBird power brake pedal has a lot of travel down before getting brake on.? And I can’t loosen the collar nut on steering wheel post to move wheel in and out? Any suggestions to help? JG Will the brake pedal pump up with multiple pumps? As for the steering when gland nut, You can apply some go...

I purchased mine from Concourse Parts for $189.00
I did not paint the core on mine. I did paint the top and sides. If you look real hard you can see the core but I’m not interested in originality as much as good heat transfer.

Borgeson makes a simple power steering system that attaches to the end of the steering column. Pricing isn’t to bad either.

The ball end should unthread from the carb lever.

With the radial tires, power steering is helpful when parking.

Very nice indeed, welcome to the club

Mine doesn’t show very well either, not sure if mine is original or after market

The holes have an outline in the paint almost like a clip was in place.
Have have not seen holes like that on my 57

I installed longer studs for the spacers on my 57, I spent many hours searching the web, it has been a few years, you need to figure the length you need and what thread and stud size. Be sure to get a stud with a shank the length on your spacer. Otherwise the spacer won’t necessarily be centered whe...

Does sound like it could be an exhaust leak. I would remove that clamp and patch and see what you have. The Tbird suppliers sell new repop exhaust manifolds. Made a local foundries.

Check the grounds and the push plug connectors, usual suspects.

I am running the CASCO pump with Chris’s spacer with no issues. I also have an aluminum radiator that looks identical to the original. Only problem now is it tends to run a little cool in cooler temperatures. Purchased the radiator from Concours Parts painted it black. I was told by the restoration ...
