Re: 1956 Chevy Pro-Street Build
I'm glad the failure didn't happen when you were driving on the street. On something that you absolutely want to stay tight and not rotate, I would consider a shaft with a keyway (think crankshaft and harmonic balancer).
It would be a fairly easy job for a competent machinist. |

Re: 1956 Chevy Pro-Street Build
Thanks all.... its been a long hard row to hoe.... but its very close now. The brake pedal system is becoming a head scratcher for me because that one system has to WORK BETTER THAN ALL THE OTHERS.... or theres gonna be trouble. Im gonna take the whole assembly down to a machine shop and see what they can design that can go back in easy enough. Would a slave cylinder have enough pressure to push that booster rod ? or would it be just full ON and full OFF?
The P/S psi line is also a problem, it has blown the -6AN line off the psi side of the pump twice now. I think its blowing under higher revs. These are good Earls type hose ends, and the second time I put the hose together I made sure it bit good and hard so I dont know quite what is happening there. Just wondering if the hydroboost is messed up or something. NUTCASE --- the small gauges are 2 1/16" dia. and they are VOLT, WATER TEMP, OIL PSI, OIL TEMP, FUEL LEVEL and ---- BOOST! anyway ---- still working it.... Thanks again!!

Re: 1956 Chevy Pro-Street Build
What type of hose and fittings?. I used a Detroit speed hose my and it's got different fitting and hose than a standard -6 hose
Truck is looking good and hope you can get a linkage for brakes worked out.

Re: 1956 Chevy Pro-Street Build
you need a fitting with a ferrell that goes on the outside of the hard line in the center.

The brake pedal thingy is going to be a whole 'nother project. It was just to move it on the left side of the steering column where the clutch used to be. I should have left the clutch assembly in the frame! Im thinking I may go with flanged bearings, like this: and drill a hole in the frame rail and run a shaft right thru from pedal to lever, key it, bolt it. IDeas? Comments?
