    Oil Pressure Question

    2 1/2 quarts low? Yep, that would do it... I doubt you're engine was damaged, but I'd be all over it looking for the leak. You would have definitely seen that much oil coming through the exhaust.... I seriously doubt it was a fluke... something is amiss. If you say you're a doofus. I guess...

    Overheating

    The timing being advanced too much could cause an overheating problem. You should have a shroud, it will direct the airflow where it needs to go. Check your lower radiator hose, they are prone to collapse when they get hot. Get a new one with a spring support in it. You should go out (when...

    kick down lever

    Bend the accelerator linkage? I don't see how... Cobain03, I'm sure you could get one fabricated. You'd only need to weld a bracket to come off the pedal rod and machine it to accept the kickdown cable. It would be good to have a good one to work from, so you could get the proper dimensions.

    Anyone know of a kit from chrome-ing parts

    I think you're chrome paint solution might be just a bit extreme for the original poster's question... did you check out the costs? I think if I saw a shiny chrome car in the lane next to me, I'd have to protest for fear he was trying to blind me... :rlaugh:

    Radiator Fan Question

    You don't want to put both a pusher and a puller fan on the car, you'll ruin the efficiency of each.

    Heater Host Shut-off Valve

    I got one with my Classic Auto Air A/C kit, but here's a "how to" link to a pretty cool (get the pun?) little valve. http://www.eurekaboy.com/f250/heaterhose.htm You probably want to put the valve on the hose going "to" the heater core, otherwise you would keep pushing warm water in, even...

    Help - No more vacuum... that sucks??

    The 65 & 66 models wouldn't require a different pedal. As for a dual master cylinder, just get on for a 67, it'll work. Check www.mustangsunlimited.com for part# 39A589B 01 for the carburetor spacer.

    13's too much to ask?

    The single biggest mistake people make is over-carbing their engines. While I agree that you could handle a bigger carb, unless you're running out of fuel at WOT, there is no need to go bigger. You may want to keep that Road Demon around though. I'm sure you'll swap cams eventually and its...

    Should I change my harmonic balancer when I change my cam?

    If you plan on racing, I'd definitely would change it. If you just run around the streets, then I wouldn't unless its showing signs of wear. I can think of alot of things I could buy with those dollars, and if your budget is like most of us, its a matter of priorities.

    Timing Q's

    Your rotor doesn't line up with what? Your rotor should line up with the number one plug wire electrode on the cap, ONLY when the number cylinder is at the top of its compression stroke. If you line up your timing marks, it should either match up or be 180 out, depending on which stroke the...
