Yeah, my JTR's are 3".

Just wanted to pass on my impression of Dave's brakes (Arizona Z). I know many of you have run his brakes for a long while, so this is not new info. But when I unpacked the boxes I was really impressed with the care they were packed, and the quality of the hardware as well as the brackets. I started the install today, hope to have everything back on the road in a week or two.

My first guess would be the master cylinder. Check for leaks and fluid level. If no leaks and the fluid is fine, pretty sure the MC needs to be replaced.

All the information you are looking for has been posted on this thread, over the last several years. Search, search, and then search some more.

I guess for Clive (and most of the rest of us) enough is never enough.

Ok, so I've tried to post here twice. It shows up, then disapears. Or is it just in my head..... I only have experience with my set up. JTR radiator with John's fan and shroud. They fit together really well, and seem to work just fine. I have driven in stop and go traffic at 105F with the AC on and the fan's high speed rarely kicks in. I hadn't seen the Wizard unit before but it looks really nice. Can't tell you that what I have is the best, only how it has works for me. Mike

I just looked at it and tried to remember what it was like to drive it (snow on the ground for the last 2 weeks). Couple of days ago I installed an inertia switch to interupt the fuel pump if I crash it or invert it-heaven forbid. Waiting on brakes from Arizona Z.

I see you are not getting any help on this. I tried but it looks like maybe John removed the labels from my compressor. Nothing on it at all. Sorry, mike

For the ac I just used the wire that used to run the magnet clutch on the L6- on my 78 it was blue. Didn't use the wire from the PCM. And my idle doen't change when the ac is on.

Cool. gotta love that first start up!

I haven't used the Jegs package but it looks like a great buy.

Very cool. I, too want to watch this project come together. I've always admired your car and I know with your skills you will get it done. Mike

??? I'm using the stock pedal, wiring, and computer from the donor car. It was extremely easy to install, didn't have to purchase any linkage parts, and don't see how safety is compromised at all. Just my thoughts. Mike

Moving the engine forward 3" will also cause shifter problems if using a T56.

I can only tell you that my '78 sensor works just fine in the John's adapter-been 3 years now and guage works great and seems to be very accurate. Mike

I had the same problem with the stock GTO master over here and could not find any seal kits or aftermarket supply. So I used the 3/4" tilton unit-over 2 years with no problems. I used the 3/4 because that was the bore on the GTO cylinder. The tilton was around $70. There are a couple different models that work but one is more compact and allowed me to still use the stock washer bottle-of course that's on our LHD cars.

I think the first thing would be to check your fuel pressure at the rail, then go from there. I didn't use the LS1 tank or pump, so I put a regulator in the engine bay. Others have used the Corvette fuel filter/regulator with good results. Mike

I originally used the GTO master, but it started leaking in just a couple of months. I found another on Ebay (GM wants over $300, there is no rebuild kit, and no after market option), but it started leaking almost immediately. So I purchased a Tilton and used the adapter that came with it. No problems in over two years now. Mike

I lost my mom suddenly while I was at college. Just be sure to communicate with the prof's. They will understand. I think it will be best for you and your family for you to be there. mike

I had the same problem after the swap. I put in slightly longer bolts and used torque-biased locking nuts. Now no problems in 2 years.

Hey, nice job paying it off so fast Clive. I've seen that you've gotten a lot of advice, maybe to buy a house. I'd suggest instead to purchase a nice heated shop/garage with a bathroom- should be all you need for a while.

I talked to Mike (mas280) today. It seems that Ulises was drag racing on the local track that had not been properly cleaned. Car got loose, had a losing altercation with a wall, then went through a ditch. Sergio is OK. Really sad about the car- it was my inspiration.

In 1974 the engine selection was limited to either a 2.3L four cylinder or a 2.8L 105 horsepower V6, from Ford of Germany. This was the only year a V8 engine was not available in a Mustang and it was also the first year no convertible was available. From 1975 through 1978 the Mustang II did offer a 302 2bbl V8, but as with all engines of the time, it was low on power with only 122 to 140 horsepower, depending on the year and whether it was 49-state or a California car. These were the "Dark Ages" of automotive performance as the industry got hit with a double whammy of pollution controls and gas mileage concerns. It took about ten years for computer controlled engines to return performance to us. While the Mustang II was smaller, more fuel efficient and handled better than previous Mustang generations, however it also lacked the performance of other Mustang generations. With 122-140hp, the mustang II 302 wasn't exactly a screamer. I really liked the 75, 76 celica's, and had a 78, and a 78 celica supra. But I really always wanted the Z. It was definately quicker than the others of the time. I didn't get my first Z until 82 when it was 4 years old, but I still have that one.

I like it. It looks kinda familiar just a different car lol.
