    Cam quest - 351 W.

    Thanks for the help guys. I ended up getting the RPM cam. SoCalCruising: I don't know what I was thinking when I wrote 30% track use. It's more like 10%. Spesifically 2 full weekends (6 days) each summer. Thanks for the tip anyway.

    Cam quest - 351 W.

    I don't know. I didn't build the engine. All I've done to the engine since I got the car 3 years ago is swapping the intake and carb. But the heads P/N tells me this is not the bare head, it came with (those(?)) springs. My rockers are Comp roller tip 1.6. I've rolled the pushrods on a flat...

    Cam quest - 351 W.

    So a lifter got stuck the other day, and I'm wondering what cam to get. I didn't know my cam specs before, and it turned out to be a Comp XE268H-10. Here are some pictures of the cam and lifter. My engine is an 351 W with Edelbrock Preformer RPM heads (2.02 int. / 1.60...

    rack and pinion

    I have the TCP power rack, and what's impressed me most is that it isn't overly light like the old powersteering, so I have gotten a lot more road feel. And it's easy to install.

    ??? TCP coil over suspension

    Yeah, there is a Driver/Passenger shock mount, but it's not marked on the mount itself. However, the instruction explains how ot tell them apart. Here's an image of my install. I don't think the shock would be able to mount to the LCA if the upper mounts were installed incorrectly.

    TCP Rack, Randalls, Flaming River?

    I have the TCP power R&P. It won't interfere with any headers, and it's easy to install. The pump is not included, you have to order that seperatly. I do however have a FMX, not a TKO, but I can't see any problems with interference there either. Pros are the high quality of the product...

    Original Eleanor

    It's actually a 351C I think. The car (chassis) was beefed up a bit, IIRC, got it on DVD and there is an interview on the special features where Lee Iaccoca talks about the car.

    losing oil

    Umm, 4 places. I have a console mounted mechanical oil press gauge... and when that sucker started to leak, I didn't notice until I had oily footprints one day! :rlaugh: Oh well, at least my passenger side floorboards won't rust!

    air fuel mixture screw

    If you want to do it by hearing, set it where the engine runs easiest. However, to get it right by hearing alone takes skill. You should do as iskwezm said, or perhaps with a C/O and lamda scoop in the exhaust.

    Carb questions

    A double pumper has a direct link to the secondary butterflies. This makes all 4 open at the same time when you press the gas pedal. A Vacuum secondarie carburator has vacuum operated secondaries. Hence the name. This means that the secondary butterflies will open to demand - gradually as the...

    Which wheels on a 69?

    This 1970 Mustang has 18" JYD wheels. It's one of the best looking Mustang I've ever seen.

    Aftermarket Front suspension & steering

    The TCP kit now comes with the VariShock shock. It's very good. The VariShock is double adjustable (compression and rebound), while the QA1 is single adjustable. (Edit: I see MDjay said that already. - I never read all the post before i reply:doh: ) I have instelled the newer version of...

    Drilling for the Emblems...

    A previous owner used a double sided tape or glue to fasten the medallions on the roof pillar on my '69 Fastback. Problem is, they are backward, and I can't get them off. So if you do that, remember to get it right. No crocked letters or misspellings.

    What spark plugs are you running?

    Thanks! Got the Champion RC9YC plugs today. First the car wouldn't run. Tried a different set of plug wires, and that helped, but was still overly rich. Turned out to be the accel pump that was 3mm open at all times. I never adjusted it when I installed the carb, I just assumed it was right...

    What spark plugs are you running?

    Jerry, you're onto something there. I've already had my starter out to maintain it, bacause it stopped working, and I borrowed a smaller 260/289 starter, and it had problems with starting my engine. Got my starter back in again now. Also, I've had a friend set up the advance curve for me last...

    What spark plugs are you running?

    Jerry S: I'm not sure, I need to get an compression test. I know nothing of the internals of my engine. :shrug: Guessing around 10:1 somewhere. It's quite hard to turn the engine at the crank. 67&05STANGS: I've always left the gapping alone at stock. Tried one pair of plugs with .50, with...

    What spark plugs are you running?

    Plugs are black with carbon. It shoots black smoke, but I can also have white smoke, and still black plugs. Seems like idling will dust the plugs. I think octane rating is different. We can get two types of gas. 95 octane and 98 octane. I should perhaps get a compression test ?
