    what numbers are you getting? (60ft, 1/8 and 1/4, with time & mph) for the limited slip: can you lay two solid black lines down a road? or is the LSD worn out? what RPM are you launching from?

    So someone decided to copy our idea for an E-brake handle

    1) Why dont you just push hard on advertising and exposure? The only reason I knew about your product was through the forum, but it might be good to it into more catalogs or magazines. If you try to be in more places than the other guy, then it wont be a fair competition :) Besides...

    Randall rack install...

    I just recieved my Unisteer Power R&P kit today. I will try to take usefull pics and provide my 2cents. Notes so far: had to pay $35 extra to get the serpentine kit, which includes a nice polished 6-groove pulley. also includes brackets for slightly different water pump mounting (reverse flow...

    Which overdrive tranny fits a 66 w/o cutting?

    If you hook up a 28oz-balanced engine (like the 289 and early 302s), then you will need to buy a special plate for the AOD torque converter, which uses different mounting locations. The AODs come with a 50oz balanced for the 5.0Ls

    Which overdrive tranny fits a 66 w/o cutting?

    When considering transmissions, dont forget to factor in gear ratios. The later 90s transmissions often have a lower 1st gear. This could be good or bad depending on what you want to do. Personally, I like my 2.4:1 1st gear and 1.47 2nd gear because the RPM drop is less between shifts. Some...

    67 Mustang w/ 302 & AOD. Which LT Headers?

    My Hedmans fit a C4, but the driver side did not clear the AOD linkage and pan. I cut the collector off, pointed it slightly down and out, then rewelded it. If you have the money, go with Jerry's recomendation. The FPAs seem like a simple drop-in. If you dont mind fabing something...

    Sound system questions

    Heres an old pic of my JL 12" during mock-up. Its a sealed box design. Be careful that the box clears the trunk lid, i made a small dent while not paying attention. Not sure how the coupe fitment works. The pic is old and doesnt show the tank-cover either. You may want to think about...

    Which overdrive tranny fits a 66 w/o cutting?

    I have a 5.0 and AOD from an '88 Lincoln Mark VII. This is not electric like the later AODEs. Only had 55k miles, so i didnt fully rebuild the tranny. Just had the local shop check it out, and then added a Transgo valve body, shift kit, and Alto (bands and clutches?). Ron Morris makes a...

    PICS NEEDED: Unisteer or Randall's P/S pump with serpentine belt

    I have a 5.0 with serpentine belts, and before I order a rack & pinion I want to make sure everything will line up. I want to use the pump [with serp. pulley upgrade] supplied with the Unisteer kit, but Unisteer said they didnt have any pictures of the serpentine pulley setup. I'm concerned...

    LED headlights?

    For newer "high-brightness" LEDs, 140-160 lumens per watt is not uncommon. The MGE chart may be a few years old, and likely refers to low-power LEDs. Modern electronic packaging allows for much better heat disipation, which in turn lets the LED run at higher power levels without overheating.

    LED headlights?

    I have a hard time believing that it would get any better range than a halogen or HID. Range would be a function of the lens design, not the light source. Perhaps they're claiming that brighter lights mean longer range, but halogens also come in brighter intensities. With LEDs, there is a...

    rack and pinion

    If you search this forum, you will find many bad experiances with Flaming River products. I suggest checking out Randall's Rack or Unisteer.

    Need a little help. Torque thrust D measurement

    It looks like its somewhere between 3.5 and 4". Its kind hard to tell because I'm holding the tape measure and at an awkward angle.

    Need a little help. Torque thrust D measurement

    I have the 15x7 3.75 D's and will try take a measurement tomorrow. Where are you located, anyway? I might be selling my rear 15x7s so I can upgrade to the 16x8 version (CL205).

    5000.00 To spend....Ideas?

    As far as the sticker goes, I was suggesting you spend the money on gas to drive your stang across the country. I'm just getting tired of spending my money on parts and not driving the car enough. Eventually, I would like to take mine to somewhere along the Atlantic coastline. Maybe Miami.

    FYI: IDIDIT tilt for original wheel (Ford spline)

    Just wanted to let everyone know that while talking to IDIDIT on the phone about tilt columns, they mentioned that they will release a new tilt column that works with the original wheels. I have a 1966 and am eagerly waiting for this to come out, but I dont know how many years this will cover...

    3-pt seat belts for 67

    S-Car-Go : Yes, the seat bottoms are higher. So far, I have only installed the passenger side, and I am having an upholstery friend thin out the padding from the bottom cushion. That should allow me to have a helmet on an not touch the headliner. The seats weigh 70 lbs a piece, but they are...
