You may want to make that video public so we can all see it.

Have to tweak some things but I mocked it up before I ran out of daylight!

[ford4x4fun]

Some new parts to install this weekend! After some paint!

Got the brake booster master cylinder and new lines in today! Waiting on one of the boys to get home from school so I can bleed them out. Now I need to measure and have my drive shaft trimmed up!

Great looking build! I'm still playing catch up after being away for a while...the good part is that it's like watching 4 seasons of a tv show all at once! The bad part? Many of your photos are gone from the early pages.

Anyway, congrats on the progress...feels good yes?

BTW...where did you get that brake prop. valve? Is it adjustable?

Thanks Guys!

I broke a bleeder off and have been a little pissy about it so I haven't gotten a lot done on the truck. Really now I just have to get my driveshaft shortened tighten everything up one last time, and redo some wiring. Should be on the road soon. The proportioning valve is adjustable. It is a Wilwood, I got it from amazon. With the disk brake conversion the back brakes always locked up before the fronts. This should fix the problem I will tell you more by the end of the week once I get to drive it around the block!

OK guys for every step forward I take three back! Anyhow the motor developed a tick and I traced it down to the timing chain cover. Anyhow I took a video of what I have going on.

Did you check the inside of cover for places it might be scrubbing? I replaced my timing chain and saw the scrub marks inside the cover. IMHO, the chain is a bit loose. It should have some play in it but I don't think that much. As for the can eccentric, my 302 was a solid piece unlike yours which looks to be a 2 piece job? Maybe that's an FEdesign thing?
