OK I got my Maddog mount and it looks like I am still having to do more than just weld it in!
What did you guys do with the Brake Proportioning Valve? Also, how high do I mount this? It looks like it will have to be high to clear the heater pulls? Attached thumbnail(s) |

QUOTE Depending upon what you are going to run .... Carbed or MFI engines .... center the mount to the centerline of the car and set the shelf 7" above the lower body seam. CIS engines .... same procedure, but set the shelf height at 6.5" You need to move the valve or use a "t" fitting and remove it. However, if you remove the valve, Admin Eric and a couple of others will tell you you are going to die as the rear brakes will lock up before the fronts and send you spinning wildly into the oncoming traffic or somewhere. I run a "t" so don't listen to me as I will probably be dead before you read this. 7" would put the lower part of the mount below the lower body seam!?? It is a CIS motor but I am modifing the injection to fit without cutting or lowering! I read the coments about the rear brakes locking up and I may have to join you in death (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy11.gif) unless someone else has any other ideas! I will be upgrading to larger fronts later but not right away! Here is a photo with the tape messure! Attached thumbnail(s) |

I will be upgrading to larger fronts later but not right away! Here is a photo with the tape messure! That's what a grinder is for. I cut that "tab" so that the bottom rested on the seam and welded it in. I also welded all around the mount ... no bolts ... just welds. Unless he modified the mount, you may have to open up the cutout for the main loom gooseneck to go through. I had to on a '70 conversion ... didn't have to on the '74 conversion. |
