    Parking Brake Cables

    I installed new brakes/cables on my 1973 D60. I am having problems with the cable coming off in the drum. I tightened the cables and it still comes off when I release the brake. How can I keep them on?

    Dana 60 Rear torque specs

    I just did a break job on my truck with a dana 60. When I put the hub back on and tighten the retaining nut it will not turn. I can back off to about finger tight and it turns fine. Give me some ideas. I put a new seal in and packed the bearings.

    Parking Brake Cable

    I have a 1978 3/4ton 4x4 with Dana 60 rear axle and I am trying to get the right/left cables that hook to the brake pads. I have ordered some for a 3/4 ton and 1/2 ton 4x4. The 1/2 is too short and the 3/4 ton is too long. It needs to be around 8". Does anyone know what I need? I don't know...

    Rear Brakes Help!!!!!!

    I have a DANA 60 3/4 ton rear axle. When I bought the truck the emergency brake cables were not hooked up so I removed the hub and put the cable on and they are too short. I am thinking these cables are for a 1/2 ton with whatever was in it. Are the cables different lengths or what? If so I...

    429scj

    I have a 1978 f-250 It has a 429 in it now that will need to be rebuilt soon. I was thinking how cool would it be to put a 429scj in it. What do yall think? Do any of you know where one is for sale?

    hard starting

    why would my engine become hard to turn over after I turn it off. It seems like it warms up and runs ok but barely turns over after you turn it off until it cools down.

    429 Timing

    I have a 429 4-speed 3/4 ton 4x4. I just installed a new accel Dist and I need to know what I should set the timing to. It has performer intake, edelbrock 650 carb, headers. I don't know the gear ratio, but I assume stock gears for a 1977 3/4 ton 4x4.

    Distributor wiring

    I bought a new Accel Dist and coil for my 1978 429. The plugs do not match so I need to know what the three wires from the truck go to. The distributor has a red/black/brown. The truck has three and my Hayes book tells me they go to the dist, but don't tell which is which. I also put a test...

    Alt bracket pic

    I am putting everything back under my hood and I believe the alt brackets were installed wrong when I got the truck. I need to see one so I can tell. Thanks

    Pulleys/brackets

    I recently bought a 1978 f-150 that has a 429 in it. All of the brackets for the power steering/alt are altered to fit with extra washers and such and the belts still don't line up. Where can I buy the brackets or better yet where can I get a 460/429 and rob all the pulleys/hardware from it...

    New Carb Installed

    I just put the Edelbrock 650 with electric choke on and all I can say is wow!!!! I just thought I had a powerful truck before. It woke the old 429 up big time. It already had a performer intake and headers. The Holley had stamped on it P80. What model is that. I don't know if it was too...

    Power steering

    I have a power steering pump that needs to be replaced. What should I replace it with? I want a good one that won't leak and will turn 36" tires.

    Carb?

    I just bought a 1978 F-150 4x4 with F-250 Drivetrain. It has a 429 pretty much stock other than performer intake and headers. There is an old Holley on it now that is not in great condition. I want to buy a new one with electric choke. I do not want to have to fool with it one it is...
