    Head Porting ?

    Stuck bolt. How do I get it loose?

    If the conditions are safe I would recommend heating it up with a plumbers torch until it gets red hot. Let it cool a bit this may expand it enough and contract it so you can get it loose. This looks like the cross member that goes underneath your oil pan if I am not mistaken. Maybe try it a...

    Head Porting ?

    I have a set of stock 1966 289 heads that I am in the process of porting. I am gasket matching the intake and exhaust ports, no problem with that. My question is on the exhaust ports inside and on the top there is a hump/bump? Is it beneficial or recommended to grind down this hump? What do...

    Grant wood wheel install?

    I did the toggle switch quite a few years ago, short of tearing it all apart I don't remember all the details. I do remember that it wasn't all that hard. Just have to identify your horn wiring, and reroute it down to the dash. Then affix your toggle switch under the dash and wire it. You...

    Grant wood wheel install?

    Same problem here! :notnice: I got fed up with my install kit too. I kept the steering wheel. But I decided to re- route the horn wires and hook them up to a toggle switch on the dash. Didn't the Shelby's have some kind of a similar set-up? I think that is where I got the idea from. I...

    tractions bars...

    More Measurements The measurement you have highlighted in green for the outside bolt to bolt that is 4 inches approx. I get the same measurment on my car. Also I measured the tapered part of the axle and I agree again. I get 2-1/4" - 2-3/8". Maybe your traction bar mounting plate is too...

    V-8 Fuel Line Routing

    Trying to install my new fuel line (pre-bent stock fuel line). My previous one was for a 6 cyl and doesn't go up as far as the V-8 line. From the mounting point by the park-brake forward it looks like it is bent to travel on the outside of the frame rail inside the wheel housing and re-enter...

    Coil mounting location?

    My 65 coupe is mounted in the same place as Lman's. Preferably your coil should be mounted in an upright position away from too much direct engine heat.

    Passion, Patience & Experience IMO If you are passionate about the project you are going to undertake you will take the time to do it right. Fundamentally I think with an argon gas or triple mix gas assisted mig welder you will pick it up relatively quick if you practice on thin sheet metal...
