    opinions of side exhaust

    That kit sounds very nice, my friend has it on his 350 camaro. It is very very loud though, my rear exit Dr. Gas and spintech setup sounds great but it is not unbearable cause it comes out the rear. That side exit kit is sweet but it gets old fast, hits you right in the ear, and you won't be...

    Help carb suggestions 65 289

    If you are still new to this, do not get a used carb. It takes some know how and understanding on how carbs work to be able to diagnose and repair a carb.

    Should I buy this car?

    If it's a convertible that changes things. I thought you meant coupe, the verts fetch a higher price. Still same advice as before though, you need to be sure that all the work has been done properly to convert it to a V8.

    I am still trying to figure out where this reputation that holley's are finicky comes from, and as D. Hearne pointed out the heads are the same on 2V or 4V 289's you must be mixing it up with the 351 Cleveland. You know best how responsible your son is going to be, if you feel the car is...

    Cam change Questions

    Yes that is something i forgot to mention. I change them if the engine is out, most likely if it's out I am going to have the machine shop take a glance at it anyway, might as well have them change those bearings out, and check all the plugs for cheap insurance. If it is in the car and looks...

    Bearings I say yes, eccentric and plate are a no unless they look damaged.

    what amount of clutch fork movement needed to engage clutch?

    Hmmmm....that seems like a great solution I never expected to take as long as it did. If I ever take it apart again I am doing exactly that. I spent, I kid you not, at least 10 hours bleeding and reconfiguring that system to get it working right. Never again, I will do cable if possible, I was...

    Should I buy this car?

    I agree that is a lot of money for even a 289 coupe that is if it is bone stock. It also depends on whether the owner also went about setting up the car properly for a V8 since it was an original 6, a lot of things would need to be checked. I would wait you can fetch a decent stang for that...

    what amount of clutch fork movement needed to engage clutch?

    What D. Hearne pointed out is correct, my clutch is getting a little over an inch, around 1 1/4" of throw to disengage. I believe the T-45 is very similar, although I am not for sure on the location of the pivot on a T-45. If you can't turn the driveshaft with the pedal depressed then the clutch...

    Loving it! Getting some great ideas for a future project down the road.

    what amount of clutch fork movement needed to engage clutch?

    I simply adjust the fork up until it is barely touching the fingers on the pressure plate and back off maybe a 1/4 turn on the adjusting nut. I don't like to preload the fingers, just a little bit of contact and the throw will do the rest. Do not check engagement on the ground. Put the rear of...

    That would be the exact setup I have.

    PRIMING THE OIL PUMP & ENGINE

    Hmmmm.........I always got oil traveling up the pushrods and to the rockers when I primed with a drill. Do you have a mechanical oil pressure gauge of some sort, I would hook up the sending unit or a mechanical gauge and see if oil pressure is registering at all? If the pump is working properly...

    mustang exhaust

    I am going to throw a vote in here for the spintech prostreets. To this day I haven't heard a car that I like better than the way mine sounds. Granted mine does have an x-pipe and with the cam wants to go to around 7000-7500 rpms. It still sounded great though with the old 8:1 compression truck...

    the right carb?

    Is your cam at at 292/292 duration and .512/.512 lift? If so I wouldn't expect too much more vacuum out of that thing. I am getting around 6-7 in/Hg with my setup right now at idle.

    Lifters

    Yes I agree with this. This is why I prefer to adjust my rockers with the car running. Get yourself some junker valve covers, cut the tops off, and you're good to go.

    Lifters

    I just soak them in oil and let them pump up, then coat with more oil or cam lube for initial startup. Make sure to prime the oil pump and verify that the oil is traveling up the pushrods to the rocker arms, also verify with an oil pressure gauge, you don't wanna start up to realize something is...

    Victor Jr's too big for a street car?

    I personally love my Vic. Jr.s they like rpms but once geared right (go upto 7000rpms will probably go higher when I dyno to see where power drops off cause it still pulls), and matched up with the right cam you can make some pretty good numbers. I haven't gotten mine dynoed yet but it is on my...

    Axel splines.

    You most likely have 28 spline axles. I'm sure someone will chime in. The axles are not hard to pull at all, if it's been sitting that long it might not be a bad idea to pull and check the axles, and replace those seals while your in there. With a slide hammer you can literally pull both in a...
