    need help cant find aftermarket pulleys for my stang.

    Have you checked with March? You can pretty much do anything with their setups...and they will work with you on custom applications to make sure you get the right pieces-n-parts. C'ya! Kelton

    fan shroud...how much will it cool?

    So which is more important, fan depth in/out of the shroud (50-50) or fan distance from radiator? With certain applications, you will have to adjust the fan spacing so it will fall in the correct place on the shroud (depth-wise), but the change may not leave the ideal distance from the...

    Car audio- NOT CUSTOM AUTOSOUND

    If the dash has already been cut, that should relieve all the anxiety and will really open up your options. I have the 67/68 dash, so its a bit different, but I do have the kick panel speakers and they look really nice and are positioned so the sound is decent. Since you have a coupe, I would...

    High temp duct tape?

    Hi guys, Wasn't sure if this was technically "tech" or not, so I decided to post here. Seems I have finally got my engine temps under control. Moved from electric fan to flex-fan with a shroud. The one issue I have is the shroud is not an exact fit (Griffin aluminum radiator) and there...

    Why fellow fastback People so frumpy?

    Wave! I wave or say thanks to everyone. My car gets tons of attention, and I know that's just part of owning it. If someone is nice enough to say nice car or give me the thumbs up :nice: its not gonna kill me to smile and wave. I usually can't get out of the gas pumps without one or two...

    Thinking about selling the stang

    Very similar to Blake, I have a 2001 mineral gray GT vert along with my 65 and 68, and it is really "just a car." I think in the whole time we've had it, I can count on one hand the number of people who have said "nice car." On the flipside, I get at least a dozen thumbs up/"nice car"/"holy...

    So, in theory, how hot should my engine run (safely)?

    Thanks Dave. I originally had a 12" Flex-A-Lite electric but it only pulled 1250cfm and covered about 1/2 of the radiator fin-area, so I have now put a Flex-A-Lite 17" flex-fan on. It seems to work a bit better, and cools things down alot quicker once the car is moving again. I am trying to...

    So, in theory, how hot should my engine run (safely)?

    Here are all my specs. I am fighting the warming temps out here in muggy, humid North Carolina. In order to make sure I've won the battle, I need to know what's the hottest my car should get when sitting in traffic or at low speed crawls. At highway speeds its no problem, I can keep her...

    'New car feel' - susp. question

    Yes, I have a 351W and the 620s worked fine. In fact, I got the 1" poly insulator pads and it sits just a bit higher than I would like...will probably take them out for the standard poly pads after a couple of months when I'm sure there won't be any settling. C'ya! Kelton

    'New car feel' - susp. question

    My '68 fastback has the Mustangs Plus Grab-A-Trak setup and it is great. Very good ride, that handles well but doesn't vibrate your fillings loose. Mine has the 620 1" drop coils up front (Shelby drop too) and the 4 1/2 leafs on back. I am very satisfied with the way it handles. For...

    Help me cool this sucker down!

    Thanks guys...here are some responses: -> 10secgoal - she can stay at 180 on the highway. Its only at low speed/in traffic that the temp starts climbing. I think the shroud recommendation is a good place for me to start though. -> carnoob - There is clearance on the front...sorta. I have...

    Help me cool this sucker down!

    Alright, finally got to do some extensive road testing on Friday. Outside temp hovering around 90, somewhat humid (in central North Carolina). Car (351W Ford Racing shortblock, Edelbrock Performer heads, Victor Jr. intake, Performer 600cfm carb, Griffin 2-row radiator, 180 thermostat) warms...

    Rear Differential Vent Tube

    Steve, So are you saying there should actually be a check valve in the piece? Or should you be able to see all the way through it? I had already drilled it out with a small drill bit...did I jump the gun? I have fitted a piece of fuel tubing to it, ran it upwards, then back down...all in...

    Rear Differential Vent Tube

    Quick question guys... Shouldn't you be able to blow through the rear diff vent tube valve? Mine is blocked completely off. I'm getting some leaking from another bolt of the differential tube and I'm thinking it because it can't release any pressure due to that valve being...

    Will this distributer fit Victor JR

    69 Mach 393, I am running the DUI Street/Strip Ford with my Victor Jr. on the 351W. Even though the top end is huge, there are no tuning/clearance issues, except I wanted to run the TCP cross bar and couldn't. Good luck! Kelton

    Info on 67-68 harness from Painless...

    I just got through rewiring every piece of wire in my car with repro harnesses. Then, instead of tapping into the stock wires, I got a Painless 7-circuit auxiallary fuse block to wire in all my extras (gauges, radio, fuel pump, etc). It was super-easy to install, and runs off a 10 gauge wire...
