    Price of classics going up

    well, according to NADA... my 1970 sportsroof with a 302 and c-4 and a/c is worth... $10,450 avg retail. Not bad, that's about what I've been quoting people who ask me about it. And especially not bad since I got the thing for 5g :nice: The Swede

    How long would it have taken you to figure out this problem?

    I had a similar problem when I did a tune up on my '70. Got a new cap, rotor, wires, plugs, coil, etc. Put everything on (even did the wires one at a time, just brainfarted somehow). Started it up and it ran, but it had a misfire about every 3 seconds or so. Ok... plugs are wired wrong, went...

    Boo to autozone...

    To tell you the truth when it comes down to stuff like that, for common domestic and import engines (350, 302, Honda 4cyl) I recommend taking it to a shop to get gone through instead of buying one of ours (I work at autozone). Pretty much the reasoning is... it has to be shipped here, it is...

    Gobal west new coil over set up A is better then the rest

    Cliff, I saw that setup mentioned in a corner-carvers post of yours I believe (I lurk there 'cause I have only a 'throwaway' addy). Anyways, it looks like a nice setup, not sure where the '6-10' holes would have to be drilled though. Couple of problems though.... I know this was discussed...

    Exhaust kit recommendations?f

    I just went through (still going through) a whole bunch of crap with an exhaust shop and my friend's civic... they completely screwed him over and it was one I had recommended to him. To fix it, we are probably going to try and fab up our own. Neither of us has a welder, but he has uncles...

    Feasibility of making a friend's (and my) exhaust? (ranting prologue)

    Update... Well, the appointment was yesterday but it's been raining cats and dogs here so Joe wasn't able to go down to the shop. He tried calling but was only able to get one answer by the 'helper'. Joe was supposed to be down there at 1:00, he called at 1:15. The helper said that the boss was...

    Feasibility of making a friend's (and my) exhaust? (ranting prologue)

    That's one thing that sucks about Austin, as far as I've been able to figure, no one in town can mandrel bend... the nearest mandrel benders are in either Dallas, San Antonio, or Houston... the big cities. So any bent pipe I get will most likely be compression bent. I'm gonna probably look up...

    Feasibility of making a friend's (and my) exhaust? (ranting prologue)

    1320stang- that's what I was talking about, using the J and U pipes from summit. That and maybe 2 of the 4' lengths and I think we will be set up. I'm gonna check around town here for any places that might have mandrel bent pipes like outta summit and jegs and if not, just order them. It was...

    Feasibility of making a friend's (and my) exhaust? (ranting prologue)

    (backstory) Well, my friend Joe has an '01 Civic that he is trying to turn into a hot rod. (Yes, I'm mentoring him as how 'not' to rice it out) So we have started as of late working on the exhaust- he bought a header and a down pipe off of someone on his civic forum, put them on and of course...

    HELP!! Why won't my car stop running!?!?

    Mine is working so far- I pulled mine up for a '94 stang... thought I believe 91-95 are all the same. Question about the wiring though, should I be running the power for the solonoid switch on the new starter to the S terminal on the old solonoid? Or is the location of it on the switched...

    How many of you use your Stang as a daily driver?

    Mine's a daily driver- it's fun, lots of looks, though lots of gas. But that's the price you pay. Yes, no A/C does suck. What sucks even more is having the equipment for a/c, but putting everything back in and finding out there's a short in the blower motor.... meaning it all has to come back...

    HELP!! Why won't my car stop running!?!?

    I fixed it!!! YYAAAAAAAAYY!! Ok, I'm calm now Well, to answer y'all's questions first. The starter was wired with a 4ga wire (stuff I had lying around) to a terminal on the battery for the constant. The solonoid on the starter is tripped by a 10ga wire from the switched side of the solonoid...

    HELP!! Why won't my car stop running!?!?

    Wow, of course if I try something before a trip, it finds a way to go wrong. I just put in my canton 7qt pan (awesome pan btw), and thought I'd throw in a late model starter as well. Got all that figured out, but when I was testing the spacing on the starter, I turned the key off and it kept...

    Looking for these headlights for my stang....

    Parts express is awesome, If I can find the pick of my install with the relays on my car. The biggest reason for the relays I thought was the headlight switch, because halogen bulbs draw so much more power, it will overload the switch. One thing you can do first is get a headlight switch for...

    Should I or Shouldn't I?

    A person's car is a person's car, no matter what they want to do to it and what others think. My personal oppinion- most cars that can be brought back to stock- if they can be and the owner wants too, that's groovy. But if ya have no intention of taking back to stock- go all out. The 70'...

    need new starter, which one

    I went to work today and compared the late and early model starters... Everything looks like it shouldn bolt up but the bendix location was worrying me. On the early model the bendix and cone are centered in the starter body. But on the late model one the bendix and cone are dropped down in...

    removing an oil pan

    Oops, my bad D.Hearne, forgot he was talking about a 351... yes, do what d.hearne said- one piece for 351 Max power- the pump I have is the HV melling. It isn't as bad as I may have let it sound. When first starting pressure is high and is healthy while driving. It is just when I slow to an...

    Post your best short joke...

    Here's mine: A respectable blonde is driving in the country and hears the DJ on the radio start complaining about how dumb blondes are. This get's this proffesional businesswoman blonde mad as hell and she starts fuming in her car while she's driving. While passing a farm, the blonde looks...

    removing an oil pan

    I agree with Edbert- drop the cross member, move the steering linkage (might want to re-grease everything while you're under there), pan should come right out. One piece gaskets are awesome! Not too expensive either- go to a parts house and ask for one for a later model 5.0, faster to pull up on...
