    lowering rear of car w/o blocks (long)

    I think you just gave me something to do this weekend. I've had reverse-eye springs for years and they never settled, and they're stiff to the point that the rear axle hops on bumpy corners. I've just been too lazy and cheap to get a pair of 1" blocks to even out my ride height. Shouldn't the...

    paint gun recommendation.

    I don't remember what board I read it, maybe HAMB or hotrodders.com, but the HF gun can use the same parts such as tips and nozzles as a DeVilbiss or some other mid-priced gun. It's basically a clone. I'll worry about it if I do something stupid to mine like drop it with the needle exposed, but...

    Weiand Colt 500 Intake

    I had this exact manifold on my 289 and I felt little difference between it and the cast iron 4v intake it replaced. I upgraded my cam to a "torker plus" grind and I thought I had gained gobs of power. Swapping to a Torker intake yielded me better performance all around, including off-idle. So...

    things that make you go ugggggh

    Check out the video; interesting way of doing the suspension. I've always wondered how they did that, only I didn't want to be seen in public picking up one of those magazines just to find out. What's with these guys and showing pictures of money? Is that the last time he saw those 20-dollar...

    Brake kits - manual versus auto trans, why?

    It's the width of the brake pedal; I cut mine off while converting to manual. My car went from auto trans and manual drum brakes to T5 and factory power discs without changing the pedal support.

    2005 mustang nose on classic mustang - has it been done?

    This one? http://www.obsidiansg1.com/ Someone on another board mentioned that the measurements are very close between the two noses and shouldn't require much work.

    2009? :barf:

    Any sources on this "borrowing" you mention? Maybe they meant the Ford concept, not the Italian's. Looking at that picture, I sort of see a full taillight panel a-la Cougar/Shelby and on the original S197 concept.

    WTF?

    I asked a question, and I still have no answer. Maybe you bought ZMAX and now you want to justify the $50 for $3 worth of mineral oil, so you did a search and are now upset that people were knocking on it 2 years ago. Maybe you found some new research since the last time the thread was active...

    WTF?

    Did you search for Zmax just to defend the product in an old discussion? Or did you have something useful to add?

    Torsional rigidity test: 67 coupe

    It works by lightening your wallet. I myself don't see how it would help in any way. It seems that the floorpan is already doing what the X-brace should be.

    Anyone ever see these "bumps"?

    Some very thinned paint was applied down there, most likely with a brush.

    Installing seats

    If you've lost the original washer/bolt unit you can hold a washer and bolt onto a socket by sticking a piece of masking tape inside the socket, with some of the tape hanging out the sides.

    Anybody heard anything about this carb style EFI?

    If the fuel pressure is adjusted by a PWM controller as the site suggests there must be a fuel pressure sensor that determines when to pulse the fuel pump.
