    Timing set swap (289 to 5.0)

    Mine rubbed after i used a 5.0 timing set on my 68. Did a little fancy clearancing with a grinder (maybe 1/8"). It barely touched though. No problems since.

    17 inch Bullit wheels on 67 Fastback ??'s

    Yep, should be the same wheel. Hope I helped you more than I confused you. Be sure and post some pics. Im not sure that the rear springs lowered mine the full 1 1/2 over my saggy factory ones, but i wanted mine low, and ended up having to cut a full coil of the stock fronts to match. I also...

    17 inch Bullit wheels on 67 Fastback ??'s

    I was thinking about another possibility this morning, are you lowering the car when you do the wheels? My car has reverse eye springs (1 1/2" lower) which eliminates the interference with the rear bumpstop. If you are leaving it stock height you may have to trim the bumpstop mount, or the...

    17 inch Bullit wheels on 67 Fastback ??'s

    They are 17x9s with +24mm offset. When i bought them everyone said I'd need a spacer in the rear, but they fit just fine w/o it. you might just have to try them and see, as these cars were far from perfect when built. My passenger wheelwell is actually about a 1/2 wider than the drivers side...

    17 inch Bullit wheels on 67 Fastback ??'s

    I think i got the spacers from american muscle when i bought the rear wheels. My fronts are factory ford because at the time i couldnt get a stock offset 8 inch replica that was polished. The rears are also very tight, i had to do a tiny bit of persuading with a hammer on the front inside...

    17 inch Bullit wheels on 67 Fastback ??'s

    No spacers in the rear, and Im running 245s on the front. Front is VERY tight, barely rubs the fender lip in a bind. If i ever get around to it was gonna have 1/16 cut off my spacers. There are a few pix on here. Sorry they are crappy camera phone pix. coupe5oh's photos and albums on...

    Rear brake line and dual exhaust question

    Had to adjust mine with the Magnaflow kit too. Twisted the bracket a little and bent it a little. Still close but got just enough clearance.

    which pushrods with E7TE heads?

    I went thru the same deal on my car when i put E7s on. Used a cheap length checker and found out they were the same length as an early 80's pre roller motor (cant recall measurement). Made a last minute run to The Zone and by some miracle they had 16 of them. Think we just told them i needed...

    FP Eccentric rubbing timing cover?

    I had to do a little clearancing on mine because i used a roller timing set for a late model 5.0. Not a big deal, if you catch it before the timing cover gets gouged up.

    Strange Starting Delay

    I'd vote for the solenoid, it'd be a cheap fix to try.

    AOD swap questions-wiring and flexplate

    Just picked up an aod setup out of fox car. It came with the short harness for the backup lights and Neutral safety. Does anyone have the color codes figured out so i can splice it onto my 68 trans harness?? I also go a good 50 ounce flexplate with it, would it be feasable to have the...

    Big block power steering hose routing

    Thanks. I was going to try to make a bracket or something to hold them, but might just get them fitted and see if i can make it work without one.

    Big block power steering hose routing

    i bought the big block hoses to get them away from my headers. Does anyone have pics of where the bracket to hold them mounts on a big block car?

    They are holes for the smog crossover tube. I bought some allen head plugs. Will be a pain to do in the car though.
