Mustang Confusion-1966 Mustang Coupe. I have '66 Mustang 289 V8 Coupe.
Recently I have been reviewing some of the few modifications that I've done to my car.
More specifically, I have been thinking about the front power disc brakes I had installed, and the Total Control Tubular Tower Brace.
I used the Master Power disc brake kit for my car, and I have been told that the parts for the kit are recycled from Toyota and Japanese cars. I have nothing against foreign cars and/or foreign people, but I want to keep this classic "American". I have begun to have problems with the brake kit recently as I get a lot of brake dust around the rotors and wheels. And when I brake I get the nasty "squealing" sound. I had the brakes checked and they put disc brake quiet which works for only 3 days.
Also the Power Booster and Master Cylinder didn't fit under the stock tower brace, so I had the TCP Tubular Tower brace installed. The bar looks nice and works great but it looks too modern, so I have decided to install the Export Brace that the Shelby's had.
The Export Brace will give the car a more classic look.
I am definitely putting a dust shield on the brakes to help prevent dust getting on the tires and wheels.
What I am still deciding is whether to get rid of the Power Booster and install a single reservior master cylinder instead. I'd choose the single over the dual master cylinder since the single has a more narrower bore which means less pedal effort to brake.
What do you guys think of my ideas?
I know it's long but I'd appreciate feedback.
Thanks. |
