    Autometer Electric Speedometer ?

    i have the electric speedo waiting to go in mine, i opted for the adjustability of the electric even though it's a little more $. you just push a button on the gauge to calibrate it, drive exactly two miles if you have a marked road or exit ramps and push the button again. also, you have to...

    '65-'66 with 16x8 wheels - tire size question

    I run 16" rims on my 66, the fronts will require some minor clearancing just to fit the rims. this has to do with the positioning of the upper control arm inside the wheel, a 15" or smaller rim will clear inside the control arm and spindle and a 17" or larger rim will clear outside the control...

    Anyone using the FMS steel blowproof bellhousing?

    The TKO uses the larger 1/2" holes and you will have to drill them bigger. As for the bolts, I was going to use the ones McLeod sent but decided to find better bolts at the hardware store. If you look at any other OEM or aftermarket transmission bolts, they have an unthreaded sleeve up by the...

    I'll build the header chart.......catagories?????

    How about the more performance oriented things like tube length or style(equal length/tuned, unequal length, blockhugger, tri-y, long tube, shorties, etc), the primary tube diameter(1+1/2", 1+5/8", or 1+3/4") and the collector size/style(3" collector/flange, etc).

    Would you recommend Mac Prochamber? (I searched)

    Not to hijack but I'm interested in the ProChamber too but can't find anywhere that sells it? I don't need a full cat-back system with the piping and everything, I just need the midpipe chamber section to put into my current exhaust. Do they sell just those sections or can I get one and if so...

    got the stang dyno'd! VID!

    12sec67, those are good numbers! You could probably get more out of it with a little less fuel, most n/a sbf's usually put down the best numbers and the flattest curves if you can get em at a constant 13.2 ish, almost always between 13 and 13.5 though depending on your combustion combination...

    MSD or CRANE ignition????

    the crane hi-6 series is fully digital, surface mounted, weatherproof, just overall better quality. look at the crane website for more info and pics comparing the two. not to mention that the crane setup with thir lx-92 coil supposedly produces twice as much spark as the msd setup and coil. i...

    where to buy heads?

    i hear the afr's, especially the 185s and above are often backordered 4-6 weeks .. if you're not in a hurry go with the cheapest place you can find. if so, try some of the larger retailers that stock inventory instead of just drop shipping, i hear ed curtis at fti stocks afrs all the time as...

    need to know how to wide I can go in the back?

    you can get 9" of tread, approximately 10.5" of sidewall "bulge" width under the rolled fenders of a 65/66 with an 8" wide rim backspaced 4.5". whether you want to run 255mm street tires, 10.5" street slicks or 9" slicks, they're all basically the same width, check the tire manufacturer for...

    Who is using Recaros/Corbeaus/etc?

    I've got Corbeau A4's from Streetortrack and a 4 point harness. The seat you choose should be based on the recommended waist width, they have wide options available on some models. I got some that are just right for my body, probably should've gotten the wide version for the passenger because...

    driveshaft loop

    I got one of the Summit brand 'generic' driveshaft loops. It installed very easily, I didn't have to drill all the way through the floors. I got one of those weird angled wrenches for adjusting the timing on those crazy chevy engines with the distributor in the back. Anyways, it's an odd...

    Largest tires possible for my 66?

    I did .. that's me saying his car is ugly, and for good reason I thought. OK so maybe I went a little hard on him but didn't I offer more reliable technical information that anyone else in this thread? I know from experience, and I answered the question of the thread realistically and from...

    Largest tires possible for my 66?

    Not to mention that it wouldn't hook for *****, the car looked hideous. If that's what yo're going for, then you hit the nail on the head. Wide tires doesnt mean it will hook, and if youre going to have tires that stick that far out the fender, why not put some good tires on it? Tire compound...

    Tuning an Edelbrock?

    I'm not sure if you get what I'm saying .. sure the Holley didn't 'bolt on' and go like hell, that's the whole idea. Holleys require tuning, they require you to know about carbs, to know what you're doing, to know what will work better, and to know how to change it. Accelerator pumps, cams...
