    3-pt seat belts for 67

    I installed seats from a 3 Series BMW Convertible (2003). Yes, holes need to be drilled in the floor, but its a clean setup that has the shoulder harness built into the seat. The belt goes down inside the seat back. Also check out Sebring Convertible seats.

    LED Light Question

    These bulbs may already have a resistor inside the assembly. If so, then you should be able to just plug it in. If it is just a bare LED, and you do not hook up a resistor, the bulb will not last very long. The LEDs used in 120VAC house lighting are often the same 2-4V LEDs. The main...

    LED Light Question

    You shouldn't need to do anything to the wiring as long as you find bulbs that have the right plug connection. I say you get them because the flashing will be more noticeable due to the quick turn-on time of LEDs. Electrically, the LEDs will work as long as there is a resistor in series with...

    Rear Differential Question - Traction Lok

    One other answer is that you could have an Equal-Loc with worn-out clutches. One my car, I can jask up the car and have both wheels spin the same direction. When I do a burnout, however, theres only a mark on the right side. The reason is because I need to replace the clutches inside. FYI...

    What's the best Roller Rockers to buy ?

    I have Comp Cams Pro-Magnum because I dont like the idea of having Aluminum (which fatigues much more than steel) in my daily-driver valvetrain. They cost about $280 from Summit, and come in 3/8 or 7/16 stud. On the other hand, I know the aluminum rockers are commonly used, and I havent...

    8 inch rear end

    I have seen many 8" rear ends break when connected to automatics. I have one in my car and like it because compared to the 9", its lighter, takes less power to use, and is narrower than most 9"s. What part of California are you from?

    1987 lincoln

    I have an engine, AOD transmission, and driveshaft from an 87. I know my profile says 88, but its a very late 87, which has the "E code" 225hp 5.0 HO motor with E7TE heads. This is the same bottom end as an 88 mustang or mark vii. I'm using a carb, so i didnt care about the speed-density fuel...

    Another rack & pinion question.

    I'm going with Randall's R&P. Home Page It's very similar to Steeroids. I prefer to have the tie-rod ends, not the Heim joints used by Steeroids. Both have pros/cons. I chose Randall's because I wanted 3.0:1 steering rather than 2.5:1 Also, Randall's kit includes more adapters, while...

    How to connect up original AM radio?

    I think that the chassis is the ground, and the wires are power, lights, and then speakers. Thanks for the help.

    sloppy steering

    It might be the nature of the beast: the 40-year old technology. Ball-valves just don't seem as responsive as manual steering or a rack & pinion. I did some canyon carving with my original setup today and am looking forward to my next project: Randall's Rack & Pinion. Hopefully, this will...

    Pics Needed: Hood Prop Rod

    I bought a fiberglass hood and need to fab up a prop-rod. Can you guys post some pics of how & where your props mount on the radiator support? Im planning on welding a fender washer on the top like an upside-down ski pole for the hood-pin hole in the hood. Thanks in advance.

    I think this would be cool.

    An ALL-electric classic Mustang? Been there, done that. My coworker has a '66 convertible with 40 mile range. My Fastback still wins the drag race though. I'm currently working on making a tachometer for him. Right now, we have no way of gauging exactly what rpm the motor is spinning at...

    How do these fittings work?

    I put an AOD in my '66 Fastback and have a leak at the cooling line fitting. I am not familiar with this type of connection, and have no idea what the black plastic part does. I thought the lower line was the radiator return line. Any help is appreciated.
