    Electrical system NOT showing a charge?

    It sounds like the battery is not charging. You should see well over 12v's when the car is running. I usually see between 13.8-14v's w/the car running. Have you had the alternator checked while in the car or out of the car?

    Recommedations for a mean 351W/393 build.

    I concur w/this build. A few things I didn't see mentioned: carb, tweaked 750DP, LT 1 3/4" to 3" exhaust, straight thru muffler, and if you go sauce get either a NX Express or Nitrous Works kit. They put down to the wheels what they advertise. NOS brand says 150 shot, but you don't get 150 to...

    My Car

    Car looks REAL nice at this point. Congrats man! The rear end looks good, as do the wheels on the rear view pic. How wide are those wheels? I really like it.

    Why am I running out of breath at 4-5000rpm

    I also agree.... dial in the dizzy so the advance happens sooner i.e. lighter springs. Also, thumper has a good idea about checking fuel pressure & timing before you tear into anything. If it's one or both being the problem the fix is easy and better than tearing into something needlessly.

    new sound system...

    To run dual batteries you need 2 batteries and a dual battery isolator. This set up is great if you plan on listening to the music a lot while the car is off. If you don't plan on it, then dual batteries will do nothing for you. As was pointed out, larger alty & larger battery will give you...

    new sound system...

    +2 Those caps will only help if you have enough current to begin w/. 1000W is A LOT of power and will kill the alty in due time.

    2 1/16" or 2 5/8" gauges?

    That's tits! :nice: I don't know how readable the smaller gauges are in that setup. I'm sure someone on here has one and could offer some insight.

    2 1/16" or 2 5/8" gauges?

    I've used both and I prefer the larger gauges cause of their ease to read while at the car idles and while driving. Of course I have old eyes so that's part of the reason :bang: . I think it's gonna come down to preference and where you mount them.

    Oil on my plugs, please help with diag

    The pass. plugs look fairly good, but the driver & front plugs look a little dark; the broken plug looks a little dark as well. There could be a number of problems: rings/walls worn, excessive clearance in the valve stem guides, bad valve seals, or the PCV could also be clogged causing too...

    In-car oil pan swap

    That sounds MUCH easier than what I thought would be involved or what was involved in my fox3. Does the motor have to be supported during this process? Once the crossmember is dropped, anything else in the way? Sorry for the questions, but I am still very new to the classics.

    advantages of a four link with coilovers out back

    The rear 4 link w/coilovers are leaps and bounds better than the stock set up, for tunablility; if you don't know how to tune the suspension it is something you WILL have to learn. Once tuned it will give you much stronger launches improving the 60' times which lowers over all ET. The car...

    mini tub/full tub

    That's what I'm going to do. I need/want a larger tire as well. Looking to keep as much of the interior in as possible; a request my kids made to me since my last 3 stangs had only 2 front race seats.

    In-car oil pan swap

    I tried the in-car change, but not on a classice; it was a 90 mustang. I had a tubular front end and no power steering and it was a PITA to change the gasket! I had the pleasant opportunity to replace the oil pump a couple of weeks later. I unhooked the motor and raised it w/a cherry picker...

    Need input on a 400hp 351W

    That's a loaded question right thar! It doesn't look like a bad deal, but I'm not a fan of mail order engines. I've had friends w/bad experiences more than good, but that's me. I'd *imagine* if you follow their recomendations it should be fine and not have a problem lasting. How do you plan...

    My latest happenings

    Is the oil leak evidently from the intake? Reason I ask, if you use enough silicon, torque the bolts down in the correct order/sequence you shouldn't have any probs. What kind of sealant used? If you want to learn to tune a carb, IMO, purhcase a How to Tune Holley Carb book. It includes...

    Did you 'persuade' the dent a bit? Use a SFH or BFH?

    Electric Fan/Alternator Experts needed

    I reread the posts Brian & I made; we are talking about the same thing. Both of us, citing different locations, ARE saying to measure the engine water temp; NOT the radiator temp. I agree w/you, who cares what the radiator temp is when wanting to control the fans. The temp sensor location...
