    Breaking in New Set-Up

    Went with the somewhat mild cam b/c the car is a daily driver. I heard the black paint on the headers burn off pretty quick, Would repainting them be necessary, or does it really matter?

    Breaking in New Set-Up

    Kickpanel with Speaker holes

    They should work, I have 6" speakers in mine. The only problem with the fit that I think you'll run into is with the depth of the speaker. They can only go back so far (couple inches). They're not pre-cut (at least the ones I got) when you get them and cutting the holes for the speakers...

    Aftermarket Head Installation

    Just got my Edelbrock Performer RPM heads from UPS today (great service and price from Summit). :nice: Anyway, reading about the installation it says that if you have an early 289-302 block (mine's a '66_289 A code) you have to drill 1/8" steam holes next to the head bolt on the deck of the...

    What to do: Keep car from gettin stolen.

    All this car theft talk reminded me of when the cops pulled me over in my Stang (they were following me for a while looking for an excuse, finally seen that my license plate light wasn't working). Long story short, they told me they had reports about a classic mustang that had been recently...

    Manual C-4 Tranny leak

    I'm gonna dry up the bottom of it and try to pinpoint the leak. Hypothetically, could one of the seals or gasket just blow and cause all the gear oil to seep out, or is it more likely that it'll seep out little by little and I can just fill her up every once in a while If I had to?

    Manual C-4 Tranny leak

    My manual C-4 Tranny has a mild leak (nothing like my radiator if you read my previous post), it's nothing serious...yet. Where do manual C-4's usually leak and are they hard to patch up? I need her to last until I finally get a T-5, but that'll be at least a year from now.

    3 Core vs 4 Core Radiator

    My radiator recently sprung a bad leak and I'm considering getting a new 3 core radiator. I currently have a 4 core and the car barely runs 180 degrees in near 100 degree weather. If I switch to a 3 core (since they're much much cheaper and I'm on a budget) how much hotter do you think my...

    Playstation 2 or Xbox... which should I buy?

    I say Xbox, but what your decision should come down to is what games you want to play. Check out the libraries of games out now and the upcoming release lists. Also, if you like playing games online definately get an Xbox, no comparison there. As far as car games go, Forza Motorsport coming...
