Coupe GT rebuild
Hey guys,
my 86 coupe GT is being fixed up to mechanically as near 100% as possible. I just replaced clutch, tranny mounts, AC compressor, exhaust, and digital dash, and converted to rear discs. Now everything seems to be working well. I have a few questions,
1. Can the passenger side be replaced without removing the EM?
With my rear disc conversion (from an 87.5), the brake bias is too much rear. What did I miss in the conversion? The only parts not replaced were the brake master cyl.

There is an adjustable proportioning valve by the rear passenger wheel..
I had to adjust mine to dial out the rear bias when I had my rear discs installed. Before doing that the rears tended to lock under hard braking.

Proportioning valve adjusted
I swapeed the valve from the 87.5 and had to adjust all the way to wear there is no tension on the return spring. The return spring flops around and makes noise. The rear wheels still lock up under hard braking but not as bad as before adjusting so i know the valve works. I might try the valve fromt he old drums and see if that helps or hurts. Any BTDT
DwightV. Pasenger side engine mount. Can it be replaced easily? I really haven't even looked at it. So I will check my benly or crawl under hte car. Teh driver's engine mount is totally colapsed and torn. But it did last for 175,000 miles.
