    Carter carb parts are unavailable?

    Figured someone here may be able to enlighten me on this one. My brother and I own a 1994 Chaparral ski boat, and have been having problems with the carb. When we got it I was looking at the carb and saw that it was a carter AFB, just like my edelbrock. So my brother tears down the carb and...

    Looking for 67/68 Hood Turn Signal Pictures

    Hey how did you get the wires inside the hood? Mine are outside, I thought they all came that way.

    Computer question

    Just copying over the files won't work unless these are really simple programs. What kind of software are we talking about? Also, have you tried repairing the install? What are the issues? Run spybot and adaware and you can clean a lot of the internet born nastiness off.

    Console project.. with pics!

    What about getting some kind of insertable cup holder from a junkyard? Maybe a little tray too with a plastic flange that will just hang it in there. I've seen those guys on Unique do some cool interior stuff using fabric and bondo too. You might get some ideas watching them. Also I noticed...

    Racing Stripes

    That's pretty cool. You can also use contact paper for that super-ghetto look. Just my opinion, but I hate it when people put really skinny stripes on a car. If it was mine I'd want them way wider than you have them.

    what is concourse correct?

    The lack of reponses is probably due to two things: It's probably safe to say that the majority of cars people here on stangnet have are either A) highly modified or B) supremely f'd up do to time and the elements. In the case of the former they are looking at performance upgrades, and in the...

    Want to upgrade to a 4bl, need some suggestions

    Yeah seriously. Not too keep it going either, but you should read this thread http://forums.stangnet.com/showthread.php?t=706248 about someone else who picked up one of those manifolds. I'd be curious to know if theirs have similar issues or if the quality has improved.

    Gas mileage on a 68 stangs' 289ci 4.7 liter v8?

    Like others, my mostly stock 289 (2bbl, headers) got about 20 on the freeway. Around town it got about 8.

    Timing Chain installation ?'s

    Okay well I took another look at it, and whaddya know, I was trying to put it on backwards. Once I reversed it and got everything to line up, it pretty much slid all the way on, and the slack is gone.

    Timing Chain installation ?'s

    It is going to be a weekend driver, and nothing major has been done with the engine. It is a mexican crate motor that has been in the car since the 80's and has who knows how many miles - probably 50-60k. The whole point of this was just to fix a major oil leak, but now I am seeing a new...

    Timing Chain installation ?'s

    I'm installing a new timing chain (summit's true roller) on my 289. Problem is the new appears to have more slack in it than the old one. Also the old one took some coaxing with a puller, but the new one just sorta sits on there. Any thoughts? The part number on the box appears correct...

    Pics of Summit "Stage x" intake... Poor quality!

    Ok well somebody fixed em while I was taking the time to register over there just to see them.... I noticed these in the latest Summit catalog and wondered how they looked. Yikes. I think I'd pay the extra $40 bucks for the edelbrock one!

    What Do Yall Think

    In a good way. Although they are the same shell, there were safety upgrades (including the spear-o-matic) to the 68, and I think the badging and seat design is somewhat cleaner looking than the 67. And the hood turn signals (which some 67's had too) are pretty cool. That and I had an ex...
