    67 stang with 351w

    Nice car!! I'm going against popular consensus, but for a daily driver that can cook the tires, stay reliable and get descent mileage; I'd leave the motor alone for now. I would start at the other end and get some gears (~3.75), make sure you had a limited slip rear end, then add a 5 spd (or...

    throttle sticky

    Get a second spring on there ASAP! Preferably one spring going from the top forward and one spring going from the bottom rearward. This keeps the throttle shaft from wearing on one side. You don't want that one spring breaking with ~500hp motor. If it does break, it won't be when you are idling..

    Street Avenger issues

    The days of quality and pride in workmanship are long gone. Check everything. I have a 670 SA in a box that a friend gave me because he couldn't get it running right. The transfer slots were machined wrong (one is a lot longer thant the other). As Blown 65 pointed out, check thier position...

    a new Shocks

    My preffered shocks are Bilstiens availible at Street or Track and Maier Racing. I have them on my 68 now. I've had Koni's on a 66 coupe and the edlebrocks on my current car. Of the 3 you mention, I'd take the Koni's. I have no experience with QA1 though.

    Help Stiffen Me Up!

    It would be easy to cut in access panels to get to the shock mounts. Rivet or tech screw them closed until needed.

    Is there a carb better than a Holley 4bbl?

    Define "Better". Better mileage, better performance, better starting, better throttle response, easier to tune? You may have the wrong 650 for your application and expectations or just a bad tune or a worn out carb that needs to be rebuilt. On a close to stock motor there is not a lot of...

    Help Stiffen Me Up!

    I'd weld the seat divider. As far as the subs are conserned, you could vent into the trunk through the package tray or use the seat divider from a convertible which is full of holes. In either case you loose the fire protection.

    Help Stiffen Me Up!

    "use jacking rails that are welded to the inner rocker panel, and tie these to the subframe connectors with cross tubes, and add a few shear panels there to cover the cross tubes as these will also stiffen the chassis." Rbohm, Do you have any pictures of of this? I looked around w/o much...

    Duraspark Distributor to Summit Ignition Box

    Not much to see.. I don't remember which is positive or negitive. I hooked this up years ago. Just DON'T hook the 2 violet wires together and you will be okay. Even if you did, you can reverse them without cooking anything. I did. The +/- wires just sense entering/leaving the magnetic field in...

    Duraspark Distributor to Summit Ignition Box

    You can buy a harness to go from an MSD to a duraspark or hook them up yourself. I used a generic water tight connector. I have the same set up. Although I switched to an MSD box after I smoked the mallory (same box summit uses). The solid black is a ground. I'm 99% sure black/violet goes to the...

    AFR 165

    You won't know if you need push rods until you measure with the new heads installed. Your heads may have been milled. The deck height may or may not be the same. If you change cams, that will effect push rod lenght as well. No one can tell you more than "maybe" at this point. Are your current...

    How good is the TCP X brace?

    One of the "for sure" items on my list is to seam weld all the panels on the rear (seat divider, additional floor pan, etc.) Similar to what the track guys do with the shock towers. I believe Ford tried to take the twist out of these cars by adding vertical panels where they could. Along with...

    How good is the TCP X brace?

    Jamison, Did you add the x brace after installing the sub frames or at the same time? btw, no sees the trans pan when it's next to R&P and tubular control arms :nice: 10secgoal, I don't have an existing X brace. I’m just exploring options at this point. rbohm, Even in Jamison's photo it...

    Which Subframe Connector would be best on my '69 Sportsroof?

    If you are looking at the GW sfcs, I'd look at the Maier Racing ones as well. They are longer and and attach at 4 points, which distributes stress over a larger area. Maier didn't make them for convertibles when I put GW on my car. I'll probably be taking the GW units off soon (or welding more...

    Which Subframe Connector would be best on my '69 Sportsroof?

    There is more to it than that. Where do they attach? Torque box or rear frame rail? short or long? How are they attached, 2 or 4 points or seam welded. And of course how do they look (and how low do they hang).

    How good is the TCP X brace?

    Does anyone have first hand experience with the TCP center section sub frame connector? Can you compare on/off conditions? Does it add any torsional rigidity? I’m getting ready to remove my GW sub frames and go custom. Local fabricator wants to do something like the TCP center, but I’m not...

    good suspension setup

    "Good suspension" is pretty subjective. My mother and teenage son would give two different descriptions. Generic advice is replace worn parts, lower your UCAs, get a good alignment and stiffen the chassis (export, monty carlo and sfc). Convertibles are very weak. I can twist mine like a dog...

    1967 Mustang Gas Tank Replacement

    If you hate having a 16 gal tank, I've read a 69 will drop in place and holds 20 gallons. You've got to use the 69 sending unit though. Food for thought.

    Suspension Ideas

    Adam, Templates to drop your arms are availible in the "how to" here if you trust your printer. Tech Info Or just cut it out from the back of their catalog. Dazecars, TPC and I think Opentracker have metal ones they sell. Go with the template correct for your car. The 65/6 pulls the...
