    A/C vent question

    The vent direction is maintained by two pieces of felt material about 3/4 by 3/16 placed on each end of the vent. Easy enough to find at a hardware store. I imagine the round felt stickers for coasters etc would work. There are two tabs, one on each end that hold it in place. A thin blade...

    intakes

    Brian, Weiand Stealth and Edelbrock Performer RPM are the same height so hood clearance problems will be the same. Check the specs so on the Summit site. Also contact me about Nashville ASAP. Thanks Dave

    dirt & spotso out of engine compartment

    Anyone have any tricks to cleaning their engine compartment? I'm more interested in a simplier way to get the thin layer of dirt out of the nooks and crannies. Cleaning by hand with a small brush and towels hitting every single spot causes a lot of cuts and bruises working everthing out...

    Header Headaches

    On the coating. I had my Hookers Jet Hot coated two years ago and everything still slides together, just a little tighter which does reduce the exhaust leaks. And boy does that Jet Hot coating reduce the engine compartment heat, it's amazing how much cooler it is!!!!! Has far as...

    Brake upgrades

    I used to autocross mine in C Prepared, with slicks, solid suspension and stock brakes. They worked fine back in 1983, but under today's standards are not the "trick" item. Point is if your driving it on the street they should be fine. Get them re-done by a quality mechanic, with quality...

    speaking of what it's worth

    You missed my point. One line of thought is to apply what you know about other people's II's and what they paid (or appraised values) for them in relation to that one. Very few of us can give the car a once over and really tell you what we think. As far as the body, is there overspray color...

    speaking of what it's worth

    Brian, My Cobra appraised for $7,000 without the T-5 conversion and recent exhaust upgrade. Appraiser bases prices condition and quality of work with references to collector car guides. I'm setting up an appointment to get it updated for my upgrades and would imagine the appraisal will climb...

    BIG problem/legal advice

    Good point! Brian you relied on the notary's review and actions that the title was ready to be transfered and released the cash to the seller. Just may take awhile to clear up. Ride offer to Nashville still stands too! Dave

    BIG problem/legal advice

    Brian... I know you like II's and all that stuff, but with the luck you've been having with this model, I'd suggest saving your penny's and buying a new one directly from Ford! So did the title bureau tell you when you took it in for a new one or just waited a week to let you know? Maybe...

    mustang II: Hardest car to wash?

    When I'm done washing mine I use compressed air to blow the standing water out of around all the chrome like the tail light lenses etc. Especially around the hatch trim. It's amazing how much more crud comes out using the compressed air, and how much water comes along with it. Getting rid of...

    Q's about granada/GM brake swap

    Generally those of us with the Granada front rotors were looking for more braking area on the front wheels. A larger caliper only achieves better stops when larger calipers and pads are used to match the size of the Granada rotors. I did my 4 wheel conversion increase my braking abilities...

    Holy header headaches Batman!

    I wouldn't do anything different. I have the Hooker 6120's, fit perfectly! Bought them un coated so I could make sure I didn't need any modifications then sent them off Jet Hot. Used the stainless band clamps to connect to my exhaust. I've owned two sets and both have fit perfectly, and I...
