    Help Make Sense of my Dyno numbers (fuel problems)

    I recently took my car to the Dr Gas dyno in Sandy Utah. You really find out alot about your car when you dyno it. Anyways, my numbers were 289 hp and 289 ft lbs torque at 5100 rpm. After that, it drops off the face of the earth. 289/289 is really good at that rpm concidering my peak...

    Power Brakes vs. Manual which do you perfer

    That power brake thread got me thinking. How do you guys like power brakes? Do they feel good for performance and not just the street? I have a 4 wheel SSBC manual brake set up. I have the slotted rotors, etc. that fit 15 inch wheels or bigger. I don't have the Force 10 kit or...

    Don't know what to do.

    Damn. Makes me think. I do take my eyes off the road for a very small period of time changing CDs, but that is only on the highway where nothing can happen to me because I am young. I do not talk on the Cell while driving. I really can't with the crazy Mustang I have, but any car. I need...

    How hard to install a Tremac 3550 into a 66?

    The TKO has probably dropped in price due to the TKO 600 or whatever it is. The install is as difficult as installing a transmission. The key is the fit. On my 65, the engine does tilt back slightly, but my driveline angles are good to go. I don't know how much power they take, but I...

    1967 Shelby Cobra GT 500 Mustang ("Eleanor")

    Well, Larry at LA Mustang (the best mustang guy in ALL of UTAH) gets a lot of people wanting some type of Elanor. I think he has put together a couple of fastbacks. Right now he is working on a 68 convertable. It has a real Boss 302 with an old school paxton supercharger. The fiberglass...

    Historic - and other road racers - any 1/4 mile times

    I know that your cars are set up for the track racing. I was just wondering if you have any 1/4 mile runs. The Friday night drags are the only organized legal racing I can ever fit into my schedule. My 65 coupe is set up for road racing, and I am not going to change it. I am going to throw...

    Chin spoilers - do they work?

    I put on a chin spoiler on the front of my 65 coupe. It is a black plastic one from NPD and it fits perfect. I was wondering... 1. Do they really hold the car down during high speeds. 2. Should I take it off on Friday for the Drag Races, or will it make much difference? It does look...

    Any websites, license plate check, stolen cars

    I would call your local police department. Not sure how much money your city has, but many police cars have laptops in them. The patrolman can easliy run plates.

    Speedometer gear question

    Also, your local Ford parts department at the Ford Dealership should help you. I got mine there for about 7 bucks. Just tell them what tranny, gears, etc you have.

    G-Force and Tremec Transmissions for a 70 Mustang?

    Well, in my 65, I was really worried about my TKO swap. My 302 engine does tilt back a couple of degrees, but it is not bad. That is just because the TKO is taller than a C4 or Toploader. I didn't do any cutting, nor did 2bav8 in his 66 coupe. With a 70, you should have the room, if...

    should i buy a classic

    Yeah, but you are in Houston. I know that, in Utah, one would have to be insane to drive any classic in the snow. We get crazy storms here, not to mention the terrible drivers. I would drive a classic every day in a place like southern Texas, Arizona, California, etc. But this guy lives in...

    Why did you decided to get a classic Mustang?

    So I could have something that was different and fun, fast, and just plain kick ass. I also needed a car that I would look right listening to the Rolling Stones at full blast. I don't regret it.

    should i buy a classic

    I may someday have a classic mustang for a daily driver. Only if I live in Phoenix where the weather is nice. If you are young and this is your ONLY car, then no. Do not buy a classic car. You will regret it. You live in Kentucky, right? I would bet it snows a bit there. Mustangs aren't...

    Performer vs Performer RPM?????????

    Ok. I read a coupe of the other posts. Here is the deal. You have to have your parts MATCH. They have to work together, not fight each other. You have to have the correct size carb to match the intake, cam, heads and displacement of your engine. The gears in your rear have to match the...

    Performer vs Performer RPM?????????

    You will need some gears. Steep gears mean that your car will rev faster. You will feel the gears more than any other mod. You can use a higher number gear ratio because you are going to have an AOD overdrive. Just remember, you will need more power to go as fast as a similar car with a...

    My '68 Coupe

    Very nice paint. That car would look wonderful with some Torque Thrust IIs, or something like that. I like it with out the trim. That is how my 65 is.
