    Timing Woes

    Heres the whole story. 2 springs ago I accidentally turned the oem distributor, nut was loose. So I got it back to where it would start again. The next week it would not start again. Moved the distributor to where it would start again, it had not moved! Seems like the position it would start on...

    1971 Mustang Shuts Off At Stops

    A useful cheap accessory is a see thru in line fuel filter you can install in the fuel line on top of the engine so you can always see fuel flowing through the line. Also see if the gas has crap in it. Otherwise maybe the carb needs adjusting. If it's an automatic there is an idle kick down...

    Msd Distributor 69 351w

    I did this at about 5pm yesterday so this is how I got it done. But thanks for the suggestions. Over all you helped me figure out a different solution. After 3 hours of manually turning the gear. Teenie tiny turns. It still would not go on. I wont say how I got it to fit because I will take...

    Msd Distributor 69 351w

    I discovered the oil drive gear is a 5/16 nut on 69 351w. So I got a 5/16 nut and was able to get it to fit. After pushing it in and out a few times it got easier so it will fit. So now the issue is getting it PERFECTLY lined up so it will seat. I have been rotating the gear by hand with a...

    Msd Distributor 69 351w

    I am trying to install the MSD digital distributor PN 8578 and series 6 ignition control box. The bottom end of the distributor that connects to the oil pump drive gear does not fit on the drive gear. I tried several times inserting. Comparing with the original distributor the threads in the...

    Engine 69 351w Roller Cam Conversion

    So I talked to the guy at local machine shop and he said I don’t have to notch anything to make roller lifters fit because they are so tall. So I guess I could just order those and have to use shorter pushrods. He also said I don’t need to put a spider in either. Weird. Does that make sense to...

    Suspension Springs And Control Arms 89gtsummitracing

    I want to get a suspension kit and control arms for my 89 GT. This summitracing.com kit has M-5300-B lowering springs. Just wondering if lowering springs require different control arms. Don't think it does cause the part page doesn't list any other changes required but just checking. The arms...

    A9l Bama Tune Into A9p Will There Be Any Issues?

    I was going to get the bama chip. So is it worth it or not. ? My 89 is well modded and starves on the top end. Trick flow heads, cam. 75mm throttle body, BBK SSI intake and cold air kit. The americanmusclecar thread about that chip makes it sound perfect for me?!?!? IDK.

    Any Sbf Blower Experts Out There?

    What about the kick down lever? Also Im glad Im thinking of this stuff now. Do I have to worry about distributor clearance? Or do manufacturers make them so they always clear ford distributor on front of engine vs chevy distributor back of engine? Also its really hard to find any good picks of...

    Any Sbf Blower Experts Out There?

    Nice pics. I do have one question right now. whether I go with 1 or 2 carbs how problematic are the throttle linkages and finding the right hardware? Also how on earth would the kick down lever on an automatic tranny work I assume they would be hard to find for a blower setup, need to be custom...

    Any Sbf Blower Experts Out There?

    TheFR engine would be all forged internals. I know about the enclosed box centerfugals but I'm more interested in the look than the HP. But now I'm leaning toward converting my 351w to roller cam and forged internals stroker kit. 427ci. Then add the blower. Even though it would be like with my...

    Seriously Doubt Anyone Can Answer This, 69 Electric

    I got the new alt from napa. And the new regulator from summit. For the charging test, which batt cable to pull? Pos or neg or both? Thanks. At first I thought you were joking about the radio noise. But guess that could make sense if true.

    Seriously Doubt Anyone Can Answer This, 69 Electric

    OMGag! Yes it worked, this is the best by far, technical response ive ever gotten on stangnet! It did start out with just sarcasm, but then real knowledge mixed with sarcasm. But real knowledge non the less. I am impressed. Except for how to test it, being 45 years old, at least confirmation on...

    Seriously Doubt Anyone Can Answer This, 69 Electric

    There is a, thing, that looks like a roll of dimes that is bolted to the engine bay wall under the voltage regulator like a ground and wired to one of the pins of the voltage regulator. I think its called something like voltage reducer or something like that. Its definately original to the car...
