    brakes for street rod?

    I'm doing my '67 similar and plan some track events, front power discs being installed, rear brakes will stay drum. When rear discs are installed a prop valve needs to be installed and in most cases I read that you have to turn the power all the way down to the rear, seems like a waste to put...

    Engine Compartment Help

    An egine bay repaint would give you the biggest update/change if you want to go that far, you can repaint a lot by tapinng off motor and other areas. The 'theme' looks pretty monotone - black/silver which is fine but those plug wires stand out like a sore thumb IMO. Are there any other colors on...

    Anyone tried Rain-X wiper blades on a 67?

    I'm still using the original arms and blade holder, I found that ANCO makes a 15" refill blade with metal backing (silver) instead of the plastic refills. I think the part # is U15R, I have my local O'Reilly's auto order me a pair at a time as I need them. Pretty sure they sell the metal silver...

    '67 Blinker problem

    My guess would be a bad bulb or socket on the left side of the car. Stand outside the car with the left blinker on and see if they both light up f/r, if not or if they stay on swap the bulbs front>rear and use some fine sandpaper on the contacts in the bulb socket and see if that fixes it, a...

    best open track/road tyres for 65/66

    It probably depends on what race series they're running (nostalgia, classic, factory, etc.) and the rules, many regs. limit them to the largest wheel available at time of production which was 15". Also if they're doing 1/4mi. 15" is better than 17", just look at the new CobraJet = 15" rear...

    best open track/road tyres for 65/66

    What tire size are you looking for? 14", 15", 17" that will limit or add to the selection. Don't have any first hand experience with any yet but plan to OTR, autoX, etc. when my car is done so I read the track discussions when I see them. Some of the top names/tires mentioned are: BFG R1's...

    Change rear gear ratio when converting to AOD

    My guess would be 3.50/3.55:1 or 3.73:1 depending on what's avail. for your diff., you didn't mention if it's an 8" or 9". Your tire height will be a key in this equation. Here's a handy calculator to get an idea of your RPM's at any speed. I made a spread sheet with my tire ht., AOD overdrive...

    setting your own alignment

    Subscribing, great thread saved the links. BrianJ I may have to give you a holler when I attempt this the first time as I have a feeling someone giving you tips along the way would turn an 8 hr. alignment job into 1hr. or better when you get good at it. I think my roller spring perches, adj...

    1967 that will not shut off!!

    I replaced my solenoid once with a new one and it was defective, kept the motor cranking and would not stop. Might try another solenoid but if it happened with your old one I'd look at those bypass wires you ran. Here's the schematic for '67: Index of /~djhamma/wiring/1967 Jon

    Master Cylinder for Manual Front Disc Brakes??

    I usually use catalog searches like rockauto.com, oreillysauto.com, raybestos.com to find part numbers. Looks like Raybestos MC36251 might be what you're looking for, supposed to be for a '67 Cougar front disc/rear drum nonpower, I think it came on base models too. I'm sure that most that got...

    best newer seats?

    I'd start by measuring the width of the seat tracks/mount and the distance between the mounting bolts front to rear to get as close as you can to stock, you will probably have to make some adapter brackets either way but if one of the 2 measurements line up it's a lot easier to start with. Also...

    best newer seats?

    I used a pair of foxbody seats, $60 for the pair and they were red to match my interior. I'll recover them with TMI covers to match the original horizontal stitch when I'm done Classic Automotive Interiors - Restoration and Restyling Products for Classic, Fox Body, and Late Model Mustangs...

    Best Octane for Edelbrock?

    I would also look for stations near you that sell 100% gasoline if it's available and avoid the "may contain up to 10% ethanol". The ethanol will dry out the gaskets in your carb. eventually and you get better mileage from 100% gasoline. Don't know what state you're in though as I've heard some...

    clunk when shifting in reverse

    I had a clunk in forward and reverse, though it was my UCA, found that my motor mount bolts (thru bolt and block bolts) could be spun by hand, engine to trans bolts were also loose, seller stated that it had a rebuild 5yrs. ago, hope they weren't loose all that time. Doesn't hurt to check all...

    Hood and Trunk Lights

    tx, if it helps you any here's a few pics of my factory optioned hood and trunk lights in my '67 Coupe: I put the reflective tape over the hood light to reflect more light down, illuminates the engine well at night cruise ins and actually shines in front of the car too, really stands out at...
