Brake Pedal Feel Mystery
Hello all, I've done all the searching, yet haven't found another case like this discussed on the site. Symptom: My brake pedal feels extremely firm and great after I've just started the car. If I use a little more pressure with my foot (seems to be variable), the pedal feel "pops" and almost graduates to a completely different spongy pedal feel. Recent work: New pads, rotors, wheel cylinders, shoes, fluid flush and power bled (performed by us on the driveway).
Cleaning Original Carpet
As I'm restoring my 2002, I planned to clean and re-use my original 1974 tan carpet for the time being. I may do Esty's carpet in the future. I've had rust repaired, put down Rammat and soon Ensolite. I took my molded carpet to a local dry cleaner who cleans rugs, and was quoted a price of $35 to clean it. A couple of days later, the cleaner called and said they cannot clean it due to dry rot.....it would not survive the cleaning process. I picked my carpet up and I don't see why it
Cracked 121 Head
I am wondering if anyone has any experience with a cracked head. I have a 121 head and the machine shop told me it has three cracks on the exhaust side. I am unsure of the severity and depth.

The machine shop said this would be expensive and time consuming, but the guy im buying the car from says its no big deal to weld it up, not t

Ready for his closeup
So it's been quite a journey with good old Fred. Blood, sweat and cursing. He was named Fred by my wife because when he showed up in the driveway, he was painted black and she thought he looked like a top hat, like Fred Astaire's. So Fred he was. I learned a lot and spent a lot. Hundreds of hours in the garage while Pandora kept me entertained. Dozens of questions and help from all you FAQ'ers, Steve at Blunt and various friends and mechanics. Quite the journey. He's fi
Motor Meet Tranny.
Progress has been slow. (I promise not to start every blog post that way!) However, I now have the electric motor (Parker GVM 210-150) mated to the 4-speed transmission with a coupler from Hayes to mount the clutch assembly and a custom aluminum bell housing adapter. That motorcycle in the background of the photo below is one of the reasons why progress has been so slow, but I'll save that for a separate post... So what does it look like in the former engine bay?
Turbo update
Hey folks just a quick update for the three people following me. The Turbo is being redone, and will back to me in about a week. I will update this post with regards to the bits that I have procured to help me manage boost, temperatures and pressures etc.... So considering I have a bit of time before I go boosted, I decided to taking the log boat from China approach. If I can wait a month to get the sensor, I can save myself a lot of $$. Like a map sensor for $10 instea
