    Hood Pin style's

    These are the captive ones you can get. No chance of rubbing paint with cables. Don't worry about the anodized colours, you can get them in plain Stainless also. I've used these on my rally cars in the past.

    Anyone running locked out timing?

    I just hope you haven't tuned your car on this assumption - cause it is very wrong! Vacuum advance is called that for a reason, it uses vacuum to advance the plate inside the distributor that the points or other timing mechanism is attached to. The vacuum line is placed upstream of the...

    Hood Pin style's

    Personally, I don't care much for the pins. I have seen pins with captive lanyards, they're basically the same as the wire attached ones, with the ring captive in a stainless steel slide plate which screws to the bonnet. Most modern race cars use these I think. My favorite, however, is these:

    loud "clunk" noise, help please

    Just call it 'Retro-Tech' then! ...Probably the power valve responsible for first gear then.

    does a pusher fan + dead bugs=imbalance situation?

    I suppose it's always a possibility, although I've never heard of it happening. I think a 'puller' is more efficient if you can get it behind. If you do get one for in front, don't forget to reverse the blades.

    Who makes the best lowering blocks?

    Reverse eye springs should get you that drop. Less wind-up/axle tramp on hard braking and acceleration than blocks also.

    What tool do I use to cut my coils?

    Your wallet. Return (sell?) your old springs and buy new ones. Cutting the springs alters their rates.

    A PERFORMANCE sacrilegious swap

    Fair enough, never thought of it like that before. Makes tuning a bit more difficult though. FYI

    Engine break in

    :shrug: Why would anyone be worried about 'numbers' during a run-in, I just want to make sure my engine's running right and not doing itself any damage. A lot of people have a misconception about dynos. The truth is, they're just a tuning tool, used to compare your 'untuned numbers' with your...

    Engine break in

    It's a surface hardening process. Blatantly plagarised from somewhere I can't remember: I think it's a very wise move to dyno run-in an engine, and it should be budgeted into an engine rebuild. On a dyno, everything can be analysed very accurately. One of the biggest killers in a new engine...

    A PERFORMANCE sacrilegious swap

    BA Falcon 4.0L 6cyl Turbo: 270kW (DIN) @ 5250 rev/min Maximum torque (DIN) 550Nm (DIN) @ 2000 - 4250 rev/min It would actually sit well in my '65 as it was originally a 6. Looks like the 302 will have to do until the budget can stretch a bit. Toploaders and 9"ers in GM stuff, GM engines...

    header wrap

    I have had wrapped headers crack, it doesn't let enough heat escape (funnily enough!). Ceramic coat is the best way to go.

    anyone ever see this Kenwood?

    Yeah, CD's are getting pretty old-school these days. What I really want to find is something that only has pre-amp outs like my current ('92) KW.

    anyone ever see this Kenwood?

    The Kenwood CD I have has the ability to switch between green and orange backlighting, maybe this one has something like that too:shrug: It doesn't look too bad though. I'm getting to the stage where I'm thinking about the sound for my car. I took a brief look at one place the other day...

    The SN65 project car

    Know the stuff you mean, no idea what it's called or where you get it. I'm re-doing all of those on mine too, 1/4 Vents and rear 1/4 windows included ('65 coupe). I gave up trying to find the right stuff so I ended up using black Sikaflex. Once the old stuff's removed, there's about a...

    Beware of this guy on Ebay

    :OT: Thanks for the heads-up. I've never used PP and after reading that, probably never will. For money transfers, the simple solution is to set up your account so that you can direct credit people's accounts from you online banking account (I'm sure most banks have this facility). For the...

    16" wheel pics

    If you're after something a touch different, these are ROH RT's in 16x7 with 205/55's (Although the front suspension is not Mustang so I'm not sure what backspacing you'd need) The colour is called Shadow Chrome.

    '65 Coupe Windscreen Removal

    For the removal, you're going to waste the existing seal, the cost of a new one's reasonable anyway. Once you've got the trim out of the way (don't ask, I don't remember how I did mine, it was 6 years ago - there's a special tool I think) your best bet is to cut away the seal in front of the...

    '65 DIY Windscreen Replacement - possible?

    Anyone ever gone the DIY route with front and rear screen replacement? I have the new rubbers and the old screens. (I'd have liked to get a laminated screen but the budget's not quite there at the moment so I'm going with what i've got.) The seal looks like a similar construction to my old...

    Starting after driving / vs cold start

    Noun 1. vapor lock - a stoppage in a pipeline caused by gas bubbles (especially a stoppage that develops in hot weather in an internal-combustion engine when fuel in the gas line boils and forms bubbles that block the flow of gasoline to the carburetor)
