    Finally got my 17x8s on the '68!!!

    i like it... i also like how not very many cars have that style... i saw some on here in the classifieds for cheap and thought about doing the swap too; but i have other things on the car that are more important right now

    3.55 Gears. Will it work?

    nope - the gears arent designed for your rearend although, you could probably put a new rearend in it - although it would be some fabrication and probably not worth it in general

    Pertronix Ignitor question, and any real benefit to "performance" spark plug wires?

    thanks for the reply, how would i know if it was only mechanical? it does have a vacuum hose connected to the carb though... so i can only assume ... also, vacuum advance kit is same as "recurve kit" people have been saying is a good upgrade lately?

    Pertronix Ignitor question, and any real benefit to "performance" spark plug wires?

    i also have a question.. i called cranecams about their vacuum advance kit and using it with an ignitor and he said i didnt need a vacuum advance kit because the ignitor controlled the timing or something to that affect what do you guys think? i also have msd 6a last question - what is...

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

    the edelbrock 600 carb bogged out my 289 to a tune of 2.55 60' times (right now i have an auto with 2.8 gear :( ) about to put a 4cyl t-5 in it though 3.97 1st gear :) if you have gears or manual tranny you might be ok... call the manufacturers for their recomendations

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

    sounds like you have a good idea... as for carb cfm - 500 is what you want (or less) if your going mechanical secondaries (edelbrock/carter carb) you can go bigger with vacuum secondaries performer rpm - the performer is not as bad an intake as some would let you believe - but its power...

    Why are the 73 302HP so low?

    edelbrocks are mechanical secondary carbs - and if you want one with a 302, edelbrock will probably recommend a 500 cfm one i have a 73 mach one that i get when i graduate... some day its got a 302 (originally a 351)... and the thing just isnt all that quick not nearly as quick as my 66...

    Camshaft Recommendation for somewhat performance 289

    i did the same thing you did... except i have stock heads... i have the performer cam, and had the performer intake... i would recommend going with the performer rpm intake, as ive heard you will lose no low end power... as for carbs, with my auto tranny - the 600 cfm edelbrock bogs my...

    Edelbrock Carb; 500 or 600cfm?

    as someone who currently is replacing a 600 cfm edel with a demon... get the 500cfm carb even though the 600 is cheaper, as rich as it runs you'll need a tuning kit for sure which is 40 bucks... save yourself the trouble the 600 bogged my motor to 2.55 60' times (mechanical...

    2 bbl to 4bbl

    headers will be a big help also if you start flowing more on your intake and before you buy a carb, call edelbrock and ask them what size (they're going to tell you 500 cfm) and having bought a 600 cfm, i recomend the 500 cfm one what id do if i were you: performer rpm intake 500...

    what are the differences in 4cyl and 5oh t5's?

    ford racing 10.5", all 3 parts come in one package for that price but since im using a 4cyl tranny with a v8, should i use a stock clutch so that less strain is put on the tranny? *by imbalance, your strictly refering to the flywheel, correct?

    what are the differences in 4cyl and 5oh t5's?

    i wonder how strong you can make the 4cyl t5. What needs to be replaced to make it as strong or preferebly a bit stronger that the v8 t5. thanks, Jon *if its even possible
