Quote from: chargerdon on Today at 05:43:56 AMBeing that i was born in 1947 i have ridden in cars for decades before lap belts were even in cars let alone shoulder belts. Ive been in 3 separate collisions (one a T-bone with new then 70 challenger and yes i had my lap belt on. No injury. One of the comments was ..."why take a chance without them " I look at it this way...ill bet NOT ONE of us has installed air bags in our classic cars. Gee are we taking a chance in them.

Quote from: erat340 on February 04, 2024, 07:30:30 PMThank you. I have a rh inner pad rattling and have tried that clip but it did not help.The anti rattle spring only affects the outboard pad. For the inner pad try applying hi temp silicone brake grease to the face of the caliper piston to reduce rattle
Quote from: cudaragtop on May 02, 2024, 09:13:37 AMThe 90 is physically larger than the 70.Got it thanks. I hope it's not remarkably larger and fits into our current transmission tunnel. I know the rear mount is slightly misaligned compared to 8HP70 and that can be accomodated quite easily I believe.
I haven't seen a direct side by side comparison of dimensions but the 90 is slightly larger and longer with different rear mounting hole locations. Will require a different driveline than the 70 or modification.
Link to a 70 to 90 swap. Not an E-Body but some useful info.
