    Wire Wrap Tape

    I've seen the stuff at Home Depot. It just sticks to itself instead of everything else. Don't remember what its called but its in the electrical section near the crimp connectors.

    Two questions

    Hedman long tubes w/ 1 5/8" primaries will fit. JBA shorties are also a pretty popular choice.

    Export brace options...

    Nice engine compartment. Very clean. What is that canister inline with your upper radiator hose? I don't have that on my '88.

    J-car rack and pinion

    I would say that fabbing in a rack would be a great improvement over the factory components as long as it is done safely, the geometry isn't too far off and you don't end up with an intolerable turing radius. It is very easy to increase the amount of bump steer when only moving the inner...

    J-car rack and pinion

    Well here are the racks and you can see the difference in the centerlink mounting points. Not that they are bad designs but these are simply some of the workarounds and comprimises when working with an OEM rack from another vehicle. Note the broader mounting points. End...

    Sweet! Super clean. Where did you get your valve covers?

    J-car rack and pinion

    A word of caution on the flex shafts. If they are run too close to extreme heat (headers) they can fail. I haven't seen one break but have heard that the laminant or coating that holds the cables together breaks down after many heat cycles. The breakage usually occurs during high stress, such as...

    shelby drop

    Take a look at these. The first link is to the TCP upper control arm instructions. There are step-by-step photos included. I didn't put the lowering templates in the pdf due to printing scale concerns. The second link is to a template at TheCarSource.com. Check the scale of the image before use...

    What is considered a good camber gain for a performance street suspension?

    If you want to get really specific in a general kind of way. Well here's the camber gain spiel. I would say for a "street performance" car, lower the upper arm mounting point 1", set the static camber to about 1/2 degree negative with a decent set of wheels and tires and you will be fine. You...

    Strut Rods: Global West vs. Street or Track?

    That is just too sexy! :nice: Is this what the ad looked like? WANTED: 1 good woman to spend rest of life with. Must know your way around a racetrack, engine compartment and suspension. Please submit responses by email to [email protected] Why didn't I think of that. John...

    J-car rack and pinion

    Is the 71-73 crossmember similar to this? This is a 1967 Fairlane in which a TCP rack was installed. The crossmember was not completely removed but the back portion was cut away to make room for the rack and expose the lower control arm mounts for the rack brackets. We will be accepting...

    Strut Rods: Global West vs. Street or Track?

    Thank you, its nice to be out from under my rock. I've been knee deep in part numbers this week and haven't had a chance to get caught up with Jim since the holiday. I'll see if he has any new info tomorrow.

    What is considered a good camber gain for a performance street suspension?

    Whoa! Can we bring the picture size down just a bit. This sideways (huh, huh I got to say sideways) This sideways scrolling to read a thread thing sucks. I've heard figures of about 1 deg per inch of bump is a good number. My memory is kinda fuzzy but I seem to remember a 1" lowered UCA mount...

    Strut Rods: Global West vs. Street or Track?

    Is there a substantial insurance policy involved? :rolleyes:

    stroker or forced induction

    I'd go with strokin' it. My 302 is supercharged and isn't much fun below 3,000 rpm. A stroked motor will make more torque further down the rev range.

    Strut Rods: Global West vs. Street or Track?

    I'll throw my 2 cents in. Most of the options presented will be a great improvement over a stock bushing mounted strut rod. They should all perform equally well aside from longevity. The rod ends packaged with the Afco option appear to be a cheaper "economy" rod end. They will handle the...

    Sacramento Stangers....

    I just read a thread on SacStangs.com about driver checkpoints in Citrus Heights. They're looking for street racers and I hear they're being real picky on any little infraction. If I'm feeling lucky this weekend I might roll through there just to test the waters.
