    Vinyl top install Boise

    A friend of mine wants a new vinyl top put on his 68 cougar. He is already pulling the old one and treating the roof. His headliner is good. Trouble is, winter has set in, so we don't have the requisite sunny days to do it ourselves. Can anybody reccomend a shop in the Boise/Nampa area...

    Help, need a quick measurement

    ? If this is in order to hold your alignment, it's not worth the effort. If not, then ignore this post. Otherwise, when you get it back, run a string across the back wheels and guess it from there. Make sure the gear is centered and eyeball it. With a little practice you can get it pretty...

    Are my bearings ok (post mortem of oil pump shaft failure)

    ARP Funny, I am in the middle of a timing chain, oil pan, cover, water pump, etc... etc replacement. A friend of mine suggested I take a look at the oil pump drive shaft, it was slightly twisted. So I dug up an arp replacement in order to avoid exactly what happened to you. 302 windsor/boss...

    Went to the Track, Have some problems and questions.

    Steering box ---The FR box is nice, but I suspect you need to replace more than the box (tie rods, etc.) and by the time you get done with all of that you'd be much happer with R&P anyway.--- Reenmachine Exactly what happened to me. If you are interested in the R&P solution, then don't...

    Randall rack install...

    Oil pan No, there are no clearance issues. However, I have a stock pan and a 302 block. Still, it seems that there are no problems with the windsors. My original oil pan suffers from thread insert failure at the plug. Besides, I am in the middle of replacing the timing chain, and everthing...

    Randall rack install...

    My experiences By the way, my application is a 68 cougar. Pros: Cost. Ease of installation(?). Cons: It looks heavy. Also appears to have poor ground clearance. What's the deal with the bent outers? Pros: It is cheaper,... In my experience, the rack is much easier to install as compared...

    Randall rack install...

    One year later Ok, so things got sticky during the original install. At the time this was our only car and taking pictures and writing were just options that got lost in the shuffle. So here we are a year later, the rack has been used daily and is still functioning quite well. Nonetheless, as...

    Harmonic balancer installer

    Harmonic balancer installer

    I took the crankshaft bolt down to the local Ace hardware. It cost me 5.71$ to put this together. I should be able to press on my new dampener without the use of a hammer or block of wood. Sure beats 66.95 at Summit. I used grade 8 to make sure the thread didn't give way, not likely, but I...

    Starter Grinding Intermittantly

    Temporary fix Mine does the same, there are always shims. Not a permanent solution, but it will work until you feel like pulling the transmission. Assuming of course, it is the flexplate. Mine is the flexplate, put in a new starter and found the problem. The old gear was chewed pretty good...

    rack and pinion

    I don't think anyone has built one successfully without major drawbacks. Home brew kits seem to involve the taurus rack, see chpsk8t (you'll have to search extensively for it). The Taurus rack creates bumpsteer and wide turning radius. There are commercial kits like, total control...

    flaming rivers gear box questions

    Warranty The short warranty flaming river offers is definitely indicative of thier level of customer service. I had one of thier boxes and thought it was a good product, just a little pricey considering the price of a rebuild or exchange (Borgeson). Furthermore, Borgeson seems to stand behind...
