    Trunk Battery- Starter Ground Issue

    I actually use two grounds. One off the back of the intake and one off the block to the front frame rail using heavy duty welding cable. It is imperative that you get a good ground or all kind of electrical gremlins will hang around for a long time. HistoricMustang

    1" or 1 1/8" sway bar?

    Following rehab and sensitivity training I sure do not want to get into a big argument but I feel anything that makes the front level (or there about) through turning is good on the early model. Therefore mine is set up with strong springs and 1 1/8" sway bar. I am also of the opinion that...

    Perhaps a bronze gear should enter this topic. My performance issues disappeared when this type gear was installed. http://store.summitracing.com/egnsearch.asp?N=700+400114+309164+4294908331+4294840126+115+4294925083&autoview=sku HistoricMustang

    Anybody have the Shelby Drop template & bit?

    Agree! You do not want this fit to start out a little "sloppy". HistoricMustang

    Timing question.

    Keep it simple. Every motor and every re-build is different. Remember, Fords like a lot of carburetor and a lot of timing. Get under the hood and rev the motor to 4 grand. Rotate the distributor until the motor begins to "cut out" and then back off the distributor a bit. This will be...

    67-68 radiator support in a 66??

    It is not going to fit! Go ahead and cut a larger hole in the 1965/66 support, as I did, and stick that larger water cooler in there. HistoricMustang www.historicmustang.com

    clutch fan vs. flexfan

    I use a flex fan for street duty and it does the trick. Remember oil and/or water under 230 degrees is OK. Over that for extended periods is not OK. HistoricMustang www.historicmustang.com

    how to determine proper rear end angle

    We need to roast marsh mellows together as I am in this camp as mine is down 3" front and rear and no problem with the pinion angle at the track. No shims in mine. Perhaps OpenTracker can tune it. HistoricMustang www.historicmustang.com

    pulley prob

    I have also done this. It works just fine unless you use for race situations. Just simply check occasionally for possible cracks. HistoricMustang

    Granada or Mustang spindles?

    Same feelings here. It is imperative in a forum environment that different opinions be expressed. I have been away for awhile working on some non-profit projects ( www.augustainternationalraceway.com ) and want to reconnect as time permits with members of the board. There are...
