    Big problem! Clutch or driveline, i dont even know

    May be more than one problem. Having the clutch shake (slip/grab) could be oil on the disc. The other problem could be the fuel filter. It will not get enough fuel to pull a load-like going uphill or sometimes even its own weight. The reason it will rev w/ the clutch is is because you are taking...

    How does this hood to radiator seal go?

    The small staples are actually the fastners for the seal. I put the rubber strip in place then I pushed the staples into the rubber enough to make a mark. Then lI drilled a small hole (Same size as the staple) through the rubber and the metal then inserted the staples. I used a pair of pliers...

    The clearance between my fan motor and water pump pulley is so close that it is tough to get my fan belt between the two when I put it on. My Griffin radiator is a 2 row but it cooled better than my stock 3 row standard radiator. I also e-mailed them to see how much the cooling difference would...

    Clutch Bolts

    I would purchase a set of ARP fasterners. I think that they are equal to a grade 10. Everytime I need new bolts I always use ARP. Quality is worth the price. They are most likely cheaper price than Ford.
