    Header Question 66 Coupe

    Do you have factory power steering? Or an aftermarket rack and pinion? Any plans on upgrading to either in the future? Or to a Manual? Those will need to be answered before you purchase a set, or you will be buying another set later. The shorty style headers are pretty much a guarantee to fit...

    1984 In A 65 / 302 Electrical Problem

    Mine does the same thing. Its just low output and voltage at idle. Rev the engine around 1200 rpms and it steadies out. You didn't say what kind of alternator you have. If it is a stock one then I stand by what I said. If you want it to go away, upgrade to a ford 3g alternator. I believe you...

    Fuel Guage / Sender Help.

    I remember when I took my cluster apart to clean it up, there were some insulated bushings (very similar in design to head bolt bushings) that go around the studs to prevent them from contacting the metal housing... Those crumbled to pieces and I don't know where to find them. I was just real...

    Fuel Guage / Sender Help.

    Not sure on that one... I dont know how it is on you year, but the 69's have the printed circuit board, and if the studs on the gauges touch anything metal other than the circuit board, the gauge grounds and will peg full. I supposed you can have 2 results here. Since electricity follows the...

    Fuel Guage / Sender Help.

    I ended up running a wire from the lead at the sending unit, to the driver seat. connected it to the unit, grounded to the dash, and watch the needle move in real time. worked fine... Also connected it through the water temp lead and watched if the sending unit responded any different to the...

    Fuel Guage / Sender Help.

    Sorry for the long post, each little paragraph is a specific test I tried. I have been very thorough as you will see. Please take the time to read through it all. Been troubleshooting my fuel gauge, initially I grounded the sending unit lead to the tank and the gauge pegged full, so I changed...

    Inside Of Ignition Switch Pictures?

    Is that the switch or the lock(key) cylinder? I believe that the key cylinders can be replaced independent of the switches. Assuming it's not broken to the point where a new cylinder cant be installed.

    Front Wheels Too Far Forward

    You can use the strut rods to adjust it somewhat, but first thing you want to do is compare the wheelbase on each side to the factory spec. Alignment shops will over adjust the strut rods, which can change the wheelbase, because they don't want to do the work and shim the control arm. Get a...

    Electrical Running Voltage Too Low 69 Coupe?

    Did you have the regulator replaces or checked? You should have close to 14, 13-13.5 and the very minimum, does it increase at 1500-2000 rpm? At Idle my stock alt/regulator barely put out about 13.. 1500+ RPMs it puts close to 14.

    Stainless Exhaust Without Drone?

    I put the Pypes universal Intermediate X pipe with cutouts on mine. It fits good for a universal one.. But if you want to tuck it up nice and neat, you will have to do some fitting. That said I am not disappointed with it.. Especially since it only cost a 150ish.. Was a great deal. If you...

    Engine Idle Low When Cold, High When Warm

    Not sure if this can happen on edelbrock carbs, but the fact that you say it idles high after you drive it hard, makes me think the choke is re-engaging the high idle. I would check the adjustment of the choke. It is possible the spring is installed wrong or adjusted far enough out that it...

    Car Stereo

    Get a hold of the manufacture of the stereo and see if they have a sensor that you can mount outside of the box... Or relocate the stereo so its out in the open.

    Have you measured the voltage at the lights? This will tell you if its lack of power or just dim bulbs.

    Fuel Fuel Sending Unit Problem

    Make sure the float on the new sending unit is good. I bought a sending unit, came with a plastic float, was bad. It would register some indication but not correct. My friend had a spare brass float... I soldered it onto the unit and fixed that. However, all the trouble shooting you have done...

    I'm looking at this unit except for my 302w as well. FYI, the "SCAT" Brand balancers are actually made by Performance Products(Listed above). If you look at scat website, they share the same part number as performance products, same as on Summit (Of course summit has a different brand prefix...

    Engine Harmonic Balancer And Distrubutor Tuning

    I did not know the stock diaphragm was adjustable. And that is the best price I've seen for a stock balancer. Im deployed right now so I will have to take a look at what I have when I get home. I was hoping to order everything so it's ready when I get home. Guess I'll have to wait.

    Engine Harmonic Balancer And Distrubutor Tuning

    That's the one I linked to, which says 73 - 85 electronic ignition. I sent Crane an email asking if it will work with a 69 distributor. It looks identical to what I have. Hope it will work.

    Engine Harmonic Balancer And Distrubutor Tuning

    When I searched for spring and vac. advance kits for a Ford 302 on summit, there was only 1 spring kit that showed up and it only came with 2 springs. And there was 3 or 4 vac advance that showed up and only 1 was listed as adjustable... Crane doesnt even list the kit I linked on their website...
