    Export brace/monte-carlo bar fix/suggestions

    But isnt this one that is in front of the shock tower? I see the extra bolts in the fender area, but none in the shock tower... it might be ok with the stock cowl brace...but not mine. I actually took another picture this morning... it is at least a little cleaner now.

    anyone install their own headliner?

    I did mine and I unfortunately didnt document it as well as I normally do. It not that bad, and the biggest thing is to have the front and rear window out of the car. This will make it much easier. You can use the old window lace trim in small strips to hold it in place, (I used a TON...

    Export brace/monte-carlo bar fix/suggestions

    I absolutely agree with you... that is why I am now asking the questions. (excuse the VERY dirty picture) But, if I add the third piece like yours to the front, shouldnt it be the same? It completes the triangle and will definatly keep the towers from moving in all directions. My biggest...

    Export brace/monte-carlo bar fix/suggestions

    I have a 67 EFI I am finishing up all the final details on and I have a question on the export brace I am using. Currently, it is one with rod end links on both sides of the brace and there is NO monte carlo portion at all. I saw on the other gentlemans car, he had to modify is severly to...

    did you have to extend the front portion in front of the shock towers to get it to clear or explain? Thanks. Mark

    Almost finished pictures.

    Very nice... where did you get that cowl stiffener that cleared the EFI intake? I have one that has adjustable ends, but it really needs the third point. Thanks

    67 Restomod Progress w/Question

    Alright... we have finally fixed this thing. In my infinate wisdom (not much of it) I very neatly described what the distributor was at... the 10 degree mark with it point to #1, etc (read above) Stonecoldtx asked me to make sure on a few simple things again... well, that was the...

    67 Restomod Progress w/Question

    I have started to read the list on the link... I KNOW we will find this soon! As for the distributor... the initial problem with it being ALL wrong is now correct and I have put the plug wire for #1 in the correct position. I now know that is absolutely correct. I also need to pull codes...

    67 Restomod Progress w/Question

    Ok, great... this is what I will work on... I cannot verify the year of the dampener... no receipt found, but it was more than likely ordered for an efi car, and I tried to get everything for the 91 I am also not sure where the front timing cover came from. I may have had it sitting...

    67 Restomod Progress w/Question

    Ok, I appreciate the help... the spout is connected at this time and you can tell the difference when it is in vs. out. The 10 degree mark is the 'cut' in the distributor vs. the mark in the block that sets the engine to 10 deg when they line up... and lined up, it reads dead nuts 10...

    67 Restomod Progress w/Question

    Ok... I am back from vacation... I really didnt want to come back :-) Anyway, I worked on the distributor issue, and here is some other interesting things. The distributor was in there perfectly. I found TDC, and it was exactly in the spot it needed. The plug wires were ALL wrong, so I...

    67 Restomod Progress w/Question

    Well... major accomplishments... I checked the timing and that is the biggest problem (explain later) I set the idle speed, very nice I set the TPS, it was very close as it was. Now back to the timing... the distributor is in a bit off. I have the plug wires in the wrong spot, seemingly...

    67 Restomod Progress w/Question

    I will get on it and let you know... I will do all you say, I promise! I am sorry I didnt in the first place. I had set the TPS and timing before, but I will recheck those. This is the first time I have heard of removing the MAF as well and I am eager to check that. I needed the injectors...

    67 Restomod Progress w/Question

    The engine was from a 91 that had an engine fire... I had gotten a good deal on a full setup of the conversion harness from a guy in CA. I dont remember the name of the company, but it was harness, computer, mass air, sensors, EVERYTHING and I ******ed it up. So, they are different, but it...

    67 Restomod Progress w/Question

    Good call... I am using the 88+ firing order. The strange thing is everything seems to be getting better the more I run it. I have some 'in-tank' injector cleaner and I am thinking of doing the pressurized rail cleaner... or just new injectors!!!! The more I drive it, the better it gets and...

    67 Restomod Progress w/Question

    I just got the codes and they were the following: 12, 21, 33, 44 and 94 which are the following: Cant increase idle, ECT out of range, EGR out of range, Problems with Thermactor Air Control system and Thermactor air system on the right side.... So, that is about it so far. Nothing literal...

    67 Restomod Progress w/Question

    I need to do that, but I expect the EGR and a few that I replaced with 'bypass' parts. I will go see what it says.

    67 Restomod Progress w/Question

    Two things... this is an update on the car... been a WHILE. Got it inspected, insured and started driving it see if anything showed up. So far, nothing except what I need help on... This is a EFI converted and it is falling on its face right off idle. It backfires and fires in the exhaust...

    67 fastback rebuild pics

    My first car was red... I was 15 and that was back in 1984!!!! I guess I am just too old now. I just have to finish that 67 (red) and all will be good. Did I say 'red' too many times? :-)

    67 fastback rebuild pics

    Red is the only acceptable color for ANY car. Of all the many cars I have ever owned... probably 99% were red, and all had some type of red on them in trim or pinstriping, etc I have even converted my wife into driving red cars all the time as our new one (which is not a ford) is red... they...
