    Time and money has caused it to take almost 4 yrs to get the replacement car for the Cutlass done. 87 Monte Carlo SS Aero Coupe. Hit the bars on the hit and spun the tires most of the 1/8th mile. Went 6.04/110 Click on the youtube link for video. Too large to post here...

    Transmission

    Would be ok with the right parts installed. 4L80E would be a better choice.

    S10 spindles

    Bought a set to do the same thing. Got them home and compared them and they are a good bit heavier the stock. I am going to early Camaro brakes. Good setup if wanting larger than stock brakes.

    will have to look. Brakes seem ok once I get a pedal.

    Blazer brake upgrade with manual brakes.

    guess so. In the one that lines up with the master. Lower hole I believe.

    Blazer brake upgrade with manual brakes.

    Thanks for the input. Thought about putting ck valves in. Had some in a friends car but with the master in the stock location the brakes dragged enough to make it harder to turn the wheel than I liked when off the ground. took them out. Have braided hoses for the lines. Maybe a larger master...

    non low drag calipers

    Has factory Prop valve. Rear brakes adjusted out. No air in system. Original brake lines(are getting replaced). No brakes on 1st pump/better on 2nd/ firm pedal on 3rd. Good call on the organic pads. Will switch to them after getting this figured out. Good that you mentioned the pedal travel...

    non low drag calipers

    Thanks for the replies. I read most of your posts on this subject(David) and I think I might have another reason for the excess pedal travel. When you mentioned the rear brakes I realized that the rear brakes are now drum brakes from a 92 ford Explorer(9in rear). Further research revealed that...

    non low drag calipers

    Working on a 83 Cutlass that I am converting to manual brakes. Have the master cyl setup off a manual brake s10. Using a 7/8 bore master from a 79 Gbody. Pedal travel is too much and I am assuming the front calipers have too much travel for the Master(assuming they are of the low drag design)...

    2 circuit or 3 holley 4500 with brake?

    Pro systems has a good write up on 2 vs 3 circuit carbs. Started with a 3 circuit gas carb on my car and went to a 2 circuit sv1 alky carb and did not tell much if any difference on the brake. http://www.prosystemsracing.com/gurus.html

    Tube front frame section

    Currently have one of your R&P steering setups in my car. Will it work with this frame. Tie rods look longer due to the angle they run out of the center. Thanks
