    Flowmaster choices

    I am running Flowmaster 40's and before I sound deadened my interior, the drone was bad. After sound deadining, I can say it is really the perfect exhaust note. Really unbeatable sound when you get on it and noticable, but not droning at cruising speed. Can't say how the Delta's are since I...

    loose badges

    The letters are held in by small clips that are inserted into the sheet metal first and then the letters are pressed into them. Here's a pic of the 7 letters with the small clips I am talking about. You can get them from any Mustang parts house.

    I've just witnessed a great car!

    I think this is the car: home page Some really nice and clean things done on this car. Not everything to my taste (not sure I dig the door panels or the console), but man that engine bay is clean, clean, clean :nice: Looks like a really well done build, am sure it rides as great as it...

    t5 shifter handle

    +1 on this. I am using one of these modified shifters and it works out really well. It's located in the perfect spot and it looks factory unless you get close enough to see the #5 on the ball.

    How to Loosen Stuck Distributor ?

    Yup, they can really be a bear to break loose. The only way I have done it is the same method you are using... Continue to let it soak and then persuade it with a dead blow hammer (don't kill it). After getting it to move a bit, give it another squirt and let it sit some more. PB Blaster is...

    1967 Gauge Cluster Question

    If grounding the cluster doesn't resolve the problem, read this thread on the same issue I had with my 68 a little while back. Some good troubleshooting steps offered by forum members in that one helped me get my issue resolved.

    what intake manifold to go with?

    I'm running the RPM Air Gap with Holley Street Avenger 670cfm carb with AFR 185 heads on my 347. I cannot compare it to a Vic Jr because I never used one, but I have great power throughout the RPM range. Advantage of the Air Gap is supposed to give a cooler fuel charge because the plenum sits...

    Sirius Antenna Location

    My GT had it factory installed on the trunk lid, but my Audio I just put it on the front dash in the center and ran the wire so it cannot be seen. I don't have any problems with signal surprisingly. Worth a try before drilling any new holes in your sheet metal.

    HiPo 289 Hot start problem

    True, points work just fine until they need adjustment, which is regularly. I also think the contacts can corrode, causing hard start problems as well. Not many still using them given the price & performance value of the Pertronix.

    Door Striker Removal?

    If they are that tight (and mine were) you should use an impact driver like this: This is a hand tool (not power) which uses a screw driver tip (usually come with a good assortment with some larger philips bits). You hold it in the head of the screw with one hand and give the end of it a...

    opinions for an intake combo...

    For the carb, I would suggest a Holley Street Avenger. This carb runs really well right out of the box and is a performance oriented vac secondary carb. Meaning you can re-jet both primaries and secondaries, tune when the secondaries kick in by easily swapping springs etc. I have used a...
