    67 FB 351w, which coil springs to use?

    I have a 67 fb that came with a 289 and now has a 351w in it. The front end needs new springs. I am getting ready to order new springs and am not sure whether to order for a 289 or 390, they list different springs. My guess is the 390 springs are stiffer. They do not list springs for a 351w...

    Steering column help

    There is a sleeve that goes in place under the spring. It is thin and round and it slides between the turnsignal switch and bearing in the column. After you find the sleeve and install it, make sure that your steering column is pulled far enough towards you so that there is no play in the...

    351w swap, water pump/radiator ?'s...

    I had my lower radiator outlet moved to the passenger side. The guy that did it did not move it far enough over and I cannot use my clutch fan anymore because it hits the bottom hose. Changed to a stock 4 blade fan and it now overheats. I am going to get a new radiator and shroud and...

    i get a knocking sound coming from my front drums

    It could be that the shoes are not centered properly. An easy way to check would be to back off the shoes a couple of turns and see if the noise quits.. just don't back off so far you can't stop! You could also jack the car up and spin the wheels while a helper lightly presses the brakes...

    Power Steering to Manuel question

    A steering box used on a manual steering car has a different ratio which would make it easier to steer. You should first check your tie rods both inner and outer and your idler arm to make sure they are not stiff. Also check your air in your front tires... If they are all good and your...

    351w swap, water pump/radiator ?'s...

    I don't know the principles as to how water flows through the radiator, but I had a 67 coupe that I put a 302 in and moved the radiator outlet to the passenger side, same as the inlet and it caused no heating problems.

    351w swap, water pump/radiator ?'s...

    It is supposed to be a 69 351w out of a mach 1. The #'s I can easily see are on the stock 4 barrel intake, its dated 1969. The timing pointer is on the drivers side. Thanks for the replies. I think the easiest thing is to get the radiator outlet swapped to the other side. Anyone know where...

    351w swap, water pump/radiator ?'s...

    I have a 67 stang with a 351w in it. The water pump dumps to the passenger side and the radiator hose is run across the sway bar beneath the harmonic balancer to the radiator on the drivers side. It is wired loosely to the sway bar to stop it from hitting the balancer. What is the fix? I was...

    turn signal flasher works while car is off

    Any suggestions what to look for? The turn signal flasher clicks slowly while the car is off and the key is out of the ignition. The lights on the dash are not flashing. If you put the turn signal lever on left or right turn it lights up and stays lit and the turn signal flasher quits...

    Still Jerkiness during Cruise

    If only under a load I would be very suspicious of either a bad plug or wire. How old are the plugs and wires? Easy check is to run the engine in complete darkness and have someone rev the engine while the brakes are applied.. you will see the spark plug wires arc if they are bad. I also...
