    Some pictures of my project... The Mustang SHO

    Mods Careful, this forum contains a lot of mod work... If you're really concerned, I'm sure there is a concourse forum out there for you... I think the idea is fascinating and requires guts and skills I do not possess (yet). Don't t-5's refuse to shift after 7000?

    Edelbrock Thunder Series AVS Carb

    I agree, the only reason i went with an Edelbrock the second time was to stick with what I know. Whaddya mean by 'fuel curve?' The mechanical secondaries can be a real pain. Looking back, a 600cfm vacuum secondary Holley would have been fine. Don't believe the hype, no matter what...

    Edelbrock Thunder Series AVS Carb

    I've had good luck with mine. With the exception of adjustable secondaries, it doesn't seem to be much different than the old models. The adjustability aids in tuning out lean spots from early secondary opening. Something people used to drill holes to accomplish this on the old carbs. I...

    Pics of my shortened Aerostar driveshaft

    They want 225$ around here for a new driveshaft. My stocker has a harmonic, I'm pretty passionate about not having any work done to it. Stupid two piece driveshaft!! Anyway, this looks like the way to go. Assuming they don't chew up all the shafts with fork lifts.

    Call to Fabricators, clutch pedal 68 69

    Yeah, I'm lookin' out for that one. Still, the bidding is up to 28.50 and the reserve is not met. Gee, its been sandblasted and hit with a rattle can. It's purdy, bet that reserve is at least 100$.

    Call to Fabricators, clutch pedal 68 69

    I said something similar on my post in another forum: Really, I don't even need the brake pedal. I'll just cut mine down like bottlefed70 did. I just need the clutch pedal. Why would I replace the whole assembly, one which comes from a car that got some love over the years, with some rusting...

    Where does this mount? Under the steering column?

    Call to Fabricators, clutch pedal 68 69

    I've been looking for 1 1/2 months now. The project is some ways off still, so I have time. It's just really frustrating watching pedal assemblies go for 400$ !!I just need the pedal.!! My setup is already power, so cut the pad with an angle grinder and call it a day. As far as welding...

    Call to Fabricators, clutch pedal 68 69

    Why are we paying 200 - 400 dollars for pedal assemblies off eBay? This board has a number of fabricators, why doesn't somebody start making clutch pedals. Yes, I know about modern driveline and their 68 pedal for 135$. Isn't that a little steep? What about the unfortunates with 69/70...

    Confused. Ignition. Duraspark II or Pertronix.

    I put my duraspark together for 55$. That included wiring, cap, rotor, fleabay distributor, module, etc. It took a while to get the parts together, but I was bored and patient. I even made my own bushing to change the advance curve. Mechanical advance is now 22 degrees. Currently running 14...

    Help me tune my edelbrock carb (I lack the vocabulary)

    Get a vacuum or rpm gauge. The liquid is water, a natural by product of combustion. Until then, with the engine off turn the screws at the bottom (Idle air screws) all the way in. Then back them both out 1 1/2 turns. Start the car up, let it warm up. If it still runs like cacaa...

    Nosie from rear end or not ?

    That's easy enough to check, just run your hand along the tread. If you feel a lump, you've found your culprit.
