    how to seal coolant leak

    I had a very similar issue years ago with a 302 block with 289 heads in a '66 Coupe. I added an Edelbrock alum. intake and had found coolant in the oil. I tried 3 times with 289 intake gaskets and once with the 302 intake gaskets to no avail. I ended up putting the OEM 4bbl intake back on...

    conflicted...take two...

    I drove a friends rare '69 Mustang GT w/ 390GT auto years ago. It was a bit difficult to hang onto. In a straight line a 351W or Cleveland would not touch it. GT

    Is the fuel line routed from the pump, up the front of the block near the water pump & such to the front of the carb? Kinda hot through there. You might try re-routing the fuel line away from the engine heat. GT

    Subframe connector help?????

    They are going to have to be welded in place ultimately so..... Take it to a reputable muffler shop & explain whats going on with them. Have it put on a roll-on rack with the full weight on it. Position the front of the connectors where the instructions indicate and match up the rear of the...

    Hood Insulation

    In the unfortunate event of an engine bay fire, the insulator's attachment "trees" melt and the insulator drops, effectively snuffing out the fire by starving it of oxygen. Oh, it's an engine sound insulator too. No, not all cars have them. There's a little trivia for ya....... GT

    Factory Raven Black & Emberglo/Parchment Pony interior?

    I have seen the Emberglow/Parchment interior many times. Sharp! Really pops. Just haven't seen it with the black exterior. If original, that's a rare combination. Don't change a thing....... GT

    Manual shifting an aod

    I've done it for years with the automatics I've owned. Won't hurt it at all. Above a certain speed, it won't go back into 1st. GT

    Having a problem with my 98 GT

    Try cleaning the ground connections under the hood. There is one near the battery and as I remember there is one near the oil filter/sending unit. Dirty ground connections are known to cause some weird symptoms on all Ford vehicles. Don't rule out a set of new coils though. GT

    B springs or C

    ^ And you can run the OEM struts/shocks. With the "C" versions, you'll need a stouter strut/shock to dampen the constant rate spring. GT

    throwout bearing question

    Adjust the cable so you have 1" to 1.25" of pedal reeplay. I had a little bit of a strange noise and added a touch more freeplay and the sound disappeared. GT

    Slight Miss/Trans Shutter Issue

    The first time I experienced this was with a '96 T-Bird. The trans needs a flush done. Should be done about every 40K. In your case I would recommend a filter change and go to a synthetic fluid as well. These flushes are worth every penny spent as the trans life is greatly increased. If you...

    TOB and Pilot bearings?

    You might need a TOB retainer also. The GT piece is aluminum and when worn can make some nasty sounds when depressing the pedal. Get the steel Cobra replacement part. GT

    pics of exhaust around panhard bars...

    MM's panhard rod will fit the OEM exhaust fine. Last time I looked, MM lists the few aftermarket cat backs it will fit w/o interferance on their website. The addition is great for the street/road race applications but not really needed for drag racing applications. GT
