    new edelbrock intake problem water in oil

    By front water ports blocked, hopefully that means the ones closest to the firewall. Did you use sealer around the water ports nearest the dizzy? If not that then your manifold could have a crack in the water jacket. If not that it could be a head gasket. Any white smoke out the pipes? Did...

    strange day at the track

    Most tracks make you run water without antifreeze. Did you boil the water? This could make it puke water while its boiling and stop when its cool.

    Which cylinder heads is the best for 289 CID?

    I think I would start with Tri-Y headers and good pipes. Whatever heads you choose, you need good exhaust. The stock manifolds really choke your power out. For very little money, you can open up the exhaust ports on your 289 heads. That is really the problem with stock heads. Forget...

    Recover seats myself?

    You can do it. Heat is your best friend. You can use plastic zip ties to help get the hog rings started. Its hard to push through the foam and ring to the seat frame. Loop the zip tie through the upholstery, foam and frame. Zip it tight then hog ring it. The back seat is a piece of cake...

    Looking for help with 289

    This is a great option for you. Yes a 4v carb will wake up your Mustang. A 500 or 600 cfm will be plenty. It will match most of your future mods as well. Later you can do exhaust to give it more horses.

    1964 1/2 mustang: Halogen headlights?

    I have regular halogen bulbs with stock wiring right now. I did get a new headlight switch a long time ago. They work great and the boot fit fine. I will wire in a relay one of these days. Currently they dim just a little when I idle. Overall they are great and I can see well.

    what starter for t-5 conversion

    I have a rebuilt Motorcraft from Autozone. The thing is that most autoparts stores have the part numbers wrong. I had to get one for an Automatic. It actually is the one for a Manual shift. Its been about 6 years, so hopefully yours would last a while.

    Is this a rusted cowl?

    That rust is from the battery hitting the fan. Then the acid gets sprayed on your engine and hood. Ask me how I know this :) Its surface rust like 2+2GT stated. Pretty easy to clean and paint over.
