    Ballast Resistor

    If your running points or one of the older electronic distributers then you need some sort of resistor. if you upgraded to a modern magnetic breaker distributer and ignition box then you dont need a resistor.

    raised white letter?

    You need to grow into the look of whitewalls, or you tend to repect them, if your car can put down 580 rwhp, get kicked off the track for not having a roll bar and win just about every open header contest, whitewalls dont seem to bad. Plus they look sexy with swimsuit models. Yea I also...

    hooker super comp ground clearance

    If your gonna run that turd cam in a vic Jr headed 289 then you dont need a supercomp header, look into the headman mid length headers and go with a 2.5 inch exhaust, you will have great performance with max ground clearance. If you step up the compression and get a big custom cam then the 289...

    PLUG WIRES

    If you have msd box then you need to get a good wire from msd, moroso or taylor. if you dont have box then just get the cheap wires from autozone. I like to ziptie the plug wires together in a neat manner, if they are a good wire then they wont arc. you just need to keep them clean and away...

But with a drag shock and soft front spring they got beat up pretty bad durring normal sreet driving. Now I have stock front coils and alot...

    raised white letter?

    Water Pump question for 65'

    Do you remember if the water pump has a backplate??? just because it has an aluminum pump doesnt mean it has the early cover, I say this because from what I remember you dont have a ford pump or atleast the 64-65 ford aluminum pump. I went with the 80's front cover that doesnt have the hole for...

    Caltrac transfer link lock nuts & preload?

    thread wear no but the steel spacer tube for the front bushing will wear out at the plates if daily driven. keep them lubed and all should be good, and maybe its best not to have preload for daily driving.

    64/5 Radiator upgrade

    The simple upgrade is to go with a fox body setup. everything for the cooling system is easy to find and you have alot of options. I run a copper brass 3 row Modine, fox raditor hoses, moroso electric pump and a mid 90's taurus electric fan. temps never get over 150 since I only use a...
