    Fuel Pump Question

    If u do plan to race ur stang a little, you may just upgrade the fuel pump, but add some other goodies that will help conserve fuel(bigger mm wires, K & N air filter, etc) Summit racing has some good prices for fuel pumps that "pump" more than stock.

    Steering Colum Chatter

    I know heat is the culprate for warping the brake drums or rotors, but how does it build up excessive heat?? I repacked my wheel bearing like last year and greased them up real good. I also dont ride my brakes like most people(I coast to about 45 then gently apply my brakes).

    Full Length Headers & Power Steering

    Well even if my headers come close to my cylinder ram I am going to wrap the headers with this thick header wrap(1/8"). Of course I will wrap each header twice just to keep heat to a minimum and so I dont cook the ram or the spark plugs/wires. It also will keep the air in the engine...

    heater hose replacement

    How much smaller is the room to take out the heater box assembly on a 67 than it is for a 70. Yeah, placing the heater box back into the car is a real pain in da ass. I didnt bother bolting the top half first, instead I just had both halfs clipped together and then I bolted it back in.

    Carter AFB Carb

    Ok, anyone have or used to run a Carter AFB carb on their 5.0 or 289? I am getting around 14 MPG. Now I have heard that in order to lean out the mixture that you have to re-jet it or check for vaccum loss. I do not know how to re-jet a carb and where might the carb lose vaccum pressure? I have...
