    Explorer Serpentine on a 65 289

    Anti rust devices?

    Maybe its the Automotive equivalent of those electrical pads that you put on your abs that make your stomach twitch. They you can get a workout while you watch TV. Too bad it doesnt burn the fat! How are you supposed to burn calories when the electronics are doing the work for you?

    Anti rust devices?

    I'm going to be a Nay-Sayer here and say that this device wont work very effectively unless your car is submersed in an electrolyte such saltwater (or Gatorade! just kidding). I haven't seen the Discovery Channel, but as I understand it, the Golder Gate Bridge uses zinc plates as a...

    modern parking brake classic stang

    looks to me like it might be a trunk release. I dont know if that would be strong enough to engage the brakes, and I do not see how it would stay engaged. As for e-brakes, check out Lokar for hot rod style ebrakes.

    Transmission yolks: difference between C4 and AOD?

    I'm swaping my C4 out for an AOD and I need help understanding the differences between the two yolks. The AOD, which came from an '88 Lincoln Mark VII, has what looks like a harmonic dampner on it. Is this needed for the AOD? or is it only used when using the Lincoln driveshaft. II prefer to...

    picking the right drag suspension

    I've been considering Competition Engineering's Slide-A-Links, which are similar to Caltracs, but with a little extra preload. Does anyone know if installing these will HURT any type of driving? I will be doing more than just straight line driving. I live in the wine-country and the roads...

    Hidden antennas

    Just a thought: If you have a fiberglass hood, you might try running wires underneath the hood. I'm not sure how much ignition noise you would pick up, but it would be a stealth setup if it works. The fiberglass does not conduct electricity, so it wouldn't create the 'Faraday Cage' that...

    Removing the engine

    I can scan the instructions from my Hammer Shifter tonight. It uses the same bracket as in Jadesville's pic. I didnt have to do any cutting since my lever is on the top

    Sub Frame Connectors

    I dont see them being more than ten pounds more each because the tubing is still roughly the same size/length. Te difference is likely due to the extra flanges. I've decided to go with Global Wests and add additional flanges (3/16" or 1/4" plate).

    Question on Junkyard rearends

    Kevinstang's Ford Nine Inch Differential Page + Ford 9 Inch Rebuild/Gear Setup .: Articles A few things to note: The nodular case is hard to find, but worth $$$. If you get the WAR case, it wont be as strong (more brittle casting). In my experience, many rear ends have different mounting...

    Sub Frame Connectors

    Anyone buy a 2-point subframe and add L-brackets? If so, please post your pics. Seems like on the global west version, the tubes are further away from the frame-rail, which might make it tricky to get two more rigid connection points (I'm adding two L-brackets for a total of 4 connection...

    usable parts on 88 Lincoln Mark VII?

    So I bought an 88 Mark VII (actually a very late 87) with 58k miles and am going to drop the 5.0/AOD in my '66. I'm keeping a few things like the wheels for when i paint the car and the driveshaft, but the carcass needs to go. I'd like to pull off any useful parts and junk the rest. Are the...

    specs on Lincoln Mark VII?

    I'm looking for a 5.0 shortblock and found a guy selling a 1987 Lincoln Mark VII w/ 55k miles for $850. It apears that Lincoln made three versions of the 5.0 that year. A 150hp for the base models, a 200hp for most of the LSCs, and 225hp for the LSCs made right before the '88 models came out...
