    Why Can't I stop My 351w From Dieseling (Engine Runon)

    Carbon build up will cause the problem. Get a top end cleaner to fix it. A rich mixture can cause the carbon problem.

    Fan Relay

    Yes, the wiring to the fan is the part that came with the fan. I changed the temperature sensor from a stick in the radiator to one that is is the thermostat housing and that is a painless unit. The original realy was a 30/40 amp. I replaced it with a 30.

    Fan Relay

    I hane an Old Air shrouded electrical fan. One of the wires running to the fan motor gets hot enough that it has deformed the realy base and melted the plastic around the terminal on the relay. This does not seem right.

    Disc break conversion

    Check out " Rod and Custom Motorsports". They have a great kit that uses stock spindles and was very easy to install. It is also one of the less expensive kits and it works well.

    COMP Cams K31-238-3

    I ran a similar grind from Edelbrock when I had my stock heads and was pleased. It will not give you much lope at idle but will run well. I have the Second cam on your list now with Edelbrock RPM heads and really like it. It does have the idle sound you want, and pulls hard to 6K where I...

    1968 coupe purchase advice

    I don't have personal experience but there is a "sticky thread" at the top that is about the swap. I would worry about the springs being stiff enough, the brakes being OK, and the shocks.

    1966 T5 Vibration Issue

    Is it a shudder or more of a buzz? I m working on a buzz at 70 plus in my 65 with a T5. I can fell it best when I get up to 80 and push in the clutch. It vibrates coming down to about 70 and then stops. You have already verified the pinion angles which was my next step.

    Wheel hop

    Are you doing repeated launches? It spins smoothly on the first ones but the the wheels hop under accleration after a few ? I autocross as well and have been pleased with the KYB gas adjust shocks. I have installed the under ride traction bars and they eliminated my hop.
