Would the worm drive style clamp have a Ford in oval marking typically?  My Feb 67 has such a clamp and I have wondered about its originality.

It looks like White Post Restorations still resleeves brake parts:

I imagine the sleeve will have the groove for the seal but I have never seen one they have done.

Best way I have found is to remove the pads and put in a a spacer block 1/2 inch? in place of the pads. Blow compressed air into the brake hose hole to push out the pistons, then unbolt the 2 halves to complete piston removal.
The O rings are actually square and the pistons ride on them, rather than the actual bore (no metal to metal contact).
I have heard that for really stubborn stuck pistons that pumping in grease from a gun will usually work, but then you have to clean all the grease out.
Try to make sure all 4 pistons are mostly popped out before separating the halves.

Harmon Classic Brakes stocks rebuild parts or rebuilt Midland boosters.  I've ordered parts from them and the quality is excellent.

The rear window defroster is a rare option.  Allied Metal Products makes the best wiring harnesses.

Too high fuel level in rear bowl can cause the engine to die when suddenly stopping. (Fuel sloshes in). IDK if this problem may be accompanied by hard to start situation, like flooding.

What does an original 66 Shelby aluminum T pan go for nowadays?

I have had good luck doing my own with a kit from Harmon Classic Brakes:

I always thought the top of the choke plate looked a little closed at wide open because it has a slight bend downward at the front. I think this is how they were made. Anybody agree?

Bump - I still have one inner and one outer set for sale.

Does the sticker behind driver's door mark the water line?

I noticed that in sequence (video) #12 they still haven't noticed the problem, as the cap is not in place.  I hope that when the error(s) are noticed they will let it be known in future videos.  I'll bet most of us who work on their own cars have similar stories to tell.

So for those experienced; Would it be best to install the fuel tank prior to filler neck and gas cap?  It's been so long that I have done any work in that area I can't remember.

You might try sanding down the contacts a little on the new bulb.  I have also found that the old sockets can get stiff and sticky after all these years.  Push in on the socket contacts and see if it is hard to compress or is sticky.  Sometimes a little sil-glyde on the contacts will help.
