Re: Model BB bellhousing
Yes

Re: 1934 ford coupe Rear end to high
If it's a Posies spring it will settle down over time as any spring will do.

One lesson I learned years ago.....
Always use a tubing cutter when cutting brake line. A hacksaw may be quicker but the line is prone to leak after double flaring.
