    Notice of Violation of the blah blah blah

    Before you spend money on one of those tent garages. You might want to check and see if they are legal. Most of the cities around here will let you put a car cover over the car if it can be seen. They frown on projects being in the front. I fought with one city on the carport/tent garage. I was...

    Another whats it worth thread(428cid)

    Get the casting numbers off the heads and the block and the intake and post them up. The block is not worth anything until you have it checked to be sure it doesnt have any cracks. They also say have them sonic checked too. Its worth you spending the money if you are really going to try and...

    Strut Rods: Global West vs. Street or Track?

    I went with the G/W because I liked the design. They are indexed where they mount so the plane stays where it should be. This was a concern for me. I have a drag car not a road racer. So I didnt want to worry about that turning when the wheels were off the ground. My lower control arms also use...

    Battery relocation using Optima battery

    Are you doing anykind of racing that the rules say you need one. I have used Optima's in the trunks on the last two racecars I built. I always put them in a box just to protect them. I think it looks cleaner too. But as far as I know there is nothing liquid wise going to come out of those...

    Mysterious pressure drop………Help needed!

    I'm gonna ask just for the sake of asking. Have you left the gas cap open and tried it? Man this is a tuff one. You have done everything I can think of already. Ok. I just went and reread what you wrote. Have you tried an electric pump at the tank to push fuel up to the mechanical one yet. If...

    Mysterious pressure drop………Help needed!

    Looks like you have tried everything. Might as well give this a shoot. Try running a fuel pressure regulator that allows the fuel to continually flow in the fuel line, via a bypass valve and run a return line to the tank. See if that solves the problem.

    disc brakes for 65 F-100

    Hey Jimmie, you can use a 73-76 F100-F150 for parts. A friend of mine did this to his 65 and it bolts right in. Just use the whole brake system off the donor truck. You dont have to use the rears if you dont want to. Also here is a web site for trucks. http://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/index.php

    Heater Host Shut-off Valve

    The NAPA number for the manual 5/8" cut off is 660-1414. If those of you that dont think you need two. Put one on the side it goes in and take the hose off the other side and start the motor. It will back flow. We use two on every system that comes in in the summer where people complain about...

    So who's married?

    There is the best answer you will find about being married. I have been married and divorced four times since 1972. I have two great kids, by the first one and five wonderful grand kids. You cannot make someone love you, dont try. Dont stay married for the kids. And always choose the stang over...

    Looking for some used Edelbrock FE heads.

    You are aware of the problems with these heads. They seem to be pulling the heli-coils out where the rocker arm stands bolt. And from what I have read the springs and valves are not the greatest either. Most engine builders say buy them bare and build them to your needs. But you still have the...

    Turn signal reverse light question.

    Just so everybodys on the same page. You dont have to pull the housing out. Just take the lens off and take the bulb out as described above. Now they are not easy to get out. So dont break the bulb and cut yourself. I just pulled one out of the backup lights to test the circuit and like to have...

    68 discs on a 67

    Sure, NPD. http://www.npdlink.com/ Yes they are the same. I bought the whole kit with new everything. I priced doing just the parts that needed replacing. It was just as much as the kit and that came with everything but grease and brake fluid. My car had been sitting and someone had messed the...

    68 discs on a 67

    67 and back had the 4 piston calipers. 68 and up used the single piston calipers. I have read somewhere about the bearings being different from 67 to 68. Dont know if thats with factory rotors or the aftermarket kits?? Or if the spindels are different?? I just put all new brake stuff on my 67...
