    Timing Pointer for 67 289

    I run a roller block 347 with an early 289 cover (pointer cast into cover at 2 oclock). The 347 is running t.d.c. no.1 @ 11 oclock. I have a FMS pointer that screwed into the 2 larger holes on the left of the crank, they sell a 10oclock or 11oclock position pointer for roller motors. You will...

    Fuel Safe racing cell

    im sure they can answer any q's directly. for the price they should. look like the best on the block, i would rest assured a small toolbox would cause no problems during a major wipeout.

    Strut Rod Bushes

    Ive seen plenty of corrosion under the stock rubber bushings on an otherwise good looking rod and would not run poly if pitting is deep, a good look at the rod (especially at the bushing location) is required if you are replacing the bushings with rubber or poly. Got any pics of that rod...

    timing cover dimensions

    I run the 66 timing cover on a roller block with a edelbrock high flow pump, FRRP underdrive crank & alt pulley but the water pump pulley is too shallow (or the snout of the WP is too long) for the underdrive pulley to work so there is a mid 70's granada pulley on the water pump. Where are...

    Springs and shocks

    I like 620's with Koni set to firm. Roller perches would be in there if they were around when I did mine.

    T-Lock shifter, anyone have it?

    shifter lock I have one. Quality is first rate and I think it was worth the cash. Pinball machine style lock, better than I expected but if a pro wants your car this won't stop them. No assembly required just replace the old handle. If a kid from your family would be in there playing...

    Gauge Wiring with pics

    looks good but if it were me the fuel gauge would have been in the dash cluster and the trans temp on the other pod. looks like you have quite a bit of work ahead of you, good luck and have fun.

    Dumb oil pan capacity question

    you are fine with 6 qts. add 8 and the oil will be closer to the crank probably defeating any positive effects of using a windage tray if you are using one. the oil pump uses a longer pickup and will not be starved running 6 qts. I like the fact that the dipstick reads full at 6.

    Who in here has put a radio in their glove box?

    I got a new cardboard insert, put a small steel plate on the top and drilled 4 holes that heavy zip ties go thru and hold up the stereo chassis (radio slides into the chassis for mounting), forget if I used spacers to drop it down a bit. Ran the plug thru the top of the back cardboard panel so...

    JBA Headers Fitment Issue

    my JBA long tubes fit fine. 66 with manual stearing, manual brakes, aod and lakewood muscle mounts. Kinda pointed at the center of the car and downwards so hooking up the magnaflow exhaust required some bends. They worked out well for me and I thought the quality was good but they were very pricey.

    C4 to AOD swap

    TCI 376715 - TCI TV Cable Bracket Corrector Kits I think most will need one of these ^, they make them for the Edelbrock carbs too. Otherwise the stroke of the TV lever on the trans doesn't match the stroke of the carb lever and when you hit wide open throttle the carb wants to pull the...

    3 vs 2 point seat belts

    I would check with the state authorities before putting a 4pt harness in a normally registered vehicle. Funny thing is, in PA I dont think it used to fail a state safety inspection. A dot approved harness may have changed that and classic/antique plates may not have the yearly inspection...
