Re: Slowly Making Improvements to my '69 Patrol

Finally replaced the bent drag link with the one from my parts rig. http://www.60patrol.com/forum/gallery/image.php?album_id=204&image_id=3948 I didn't realize how severe the bend was until I laid them out side-by-side (forgot to snap a pic). I hadn't realized that the ability to turn the wheels...

Re: Master Cylinder Compatibility

So lately I have found that my current master cylinder, the Ford "Fruit Jar" as you call it, has been sticking. It locks the brakes up and the only way to release them is to bleed the master. After I bleed it, it seems to operate fine for a while before it decides to seize up again. Any id...

Ohm Range for Fuel Gauge

Does anybody know the ohm range of the fuel tank sending unit? The gauge I have now, which is aftermarket, only registers full or empty with basically nothing in between. I need to get a new one that has the correct ohm range.

Patrol in State of Affairs (TV Show)

My wife was watching a new show called State of Affairs and she called me in with an excited voice.
