    Anyone used Holley projection fuel injection??

    No problem…I am not knocking carbs they have their place. I personally am so fed up with carbs and their quirks and retuning them each season change. It is just a pain in the butt. I run from the valley floor of 28 feet to 7000 feet about every other weekend and the carb was just too...

    Synthetic motor oil

    Reviewing the facts again indicates that you may be correct about mobile one super-syn. It does appear to be full synthetic. Royal purple is definitely not. I did run across this article when doing some research that explained the change in the definition of “synthetic” It is a good read...

    Synthetic motor oil

    There are really only 3 true fully synthetic oils on the market available in the us. Amsoil (My personal favorite) Redline Castrol as you purchase it from a BMW dealer. BMW imports the Castrol from Europe because it is true synthetic oil. The US version you buy at your auto parts store is...

    Anyone used Holley projection fuel injection??

    I love my Megasquirt, Works well. I am currently in the middle of completely ditching the distributor and going Distributorless with the Megasquirt. 65 Fastback, That is the beauty of the Megasquirt. If you upgrade your engine…slap in some larger injectors and spend about 30 min to retune...

    Anyone used Holley projection fuel injection??

The choice is yours as to what hardware to use. Most...

    Would you race for pink slips ?

    I might if I did what Hot Rod Magazine did back in 2000. They had a challenge of the “Vettes”. They bet that their “vette” could beat any vet they could bring. They have a vette from each body style represented and they all turned down respectable numbers. Then they brought out their “Vette”...

    EFI conversion help!!!

    Well, I did mine the Junkyard route. I got a 5.0 Donor motor out of a 1988 Lincoln LSC. This is the same HO motor that is in the 88 – 93 mustangs sans mass air. The complete setup came with the following. Engine complete, oil pan to intake. Full front dress to flywheel. Full wiring...

    clutch pedal roller bearing

    Comparing those bearings to the ones that Mustang Steve uses you will notice that the outer race of the bearing does not have a slot machined out for the retainer ring. The retainer ring is there to keep the bearing from sliding into your pedal support too far. Keep this in mind so that you...

    New efi engine Fit Question

    That long block should be just fine as far as I know. other than the normal dipstick relocations and such that are common with mustang 5.0s. I believe those year engines were distributorless as well. It sounds like you will not be going distributorless since you are going to use the harness...

    Locating battery to trunk?

    Just a suggestion for everyone concerned about acid in the trunk. Get an Optima battery. They last longer than a conventional battery and it is a gel acid that will not leak. In fact, they contain acid so well that I no longer use anti-corrosion material of any kind on my battery terminals...

    Good Shocks to use on Classic Mustang - Part 2: Suspension Bind?

    Not to add any flames to this conversation Tubo but unfortunately I have seen the strut rods break in the same location on the 65-66 cars. Unfortunately it was on my vehicle and I was running poly on the strut rods. Granted the 67-x cars are more vulnerable to this issue due to their increased...
