    Accel, Crane, Mallory, Pertronix

    AHA! I'm not losing my mind..... On the Ford Duraspark subject, they work flawlessly for amost any street car. I had one wired to plug into my MSD for years, never had a problem. I bracked raced it, abused it, blew who knows how many bottles of Nitrous through it, never had a problem. They...

    Wow. Not even close. PBM.....not exactly interchangeable with EPW.

    Accel, Crane, Mallory, Pertronix

    Yup, they sold it a while ago. Can't remember the name of the people who bought it. EPW? Engine Parts Warehouse? Engine Parts Wholesale? Something like that. They still have a location in Carson City.

    Accel, Crane, Mallory, Pertronix

    At one point that was sort of true, but not any more. Hurst is owned by B&M, Erson was sold (can't remember exactly who owns it now) some parts were made in Carson City, some in Cleveland, and a growing number overseas..... That being said, the new electronic conversions were relatively...

    Rear susp. Much talk no facts?

    The g-Bar is not intended for a drag-racing application with slicks. This is not to say that you can't use one in a car that occasionally goes to the track, but shocking the suspension in a stickshift or transbrake car with slicks is kind of outside the realm of what we intended for this...

    Updated TCP G-Bar triangulated 4-link...

    The Reactor Mustang has the old style g-Bar with the exhaust routed underneath the axle. It looks fine. I can not find any pictures (other than in the build book) that illustrate my point, but like anything else, if you find the right guy, and he does a GOOD job, it will be fine. Local turn and...

    Updated TCP G-Bar triangulated 4-link...

    Yes, there is the option to order the brackets "loose" so that you can weld them on to your existing housing instead of using U-Bolts. You will need to order the locating fixture with your kit. It helps you mount the upper arms in the correct position, you can then set your pinion angle and...

    TCP rack + Vario Camber setup in a '66 ?

    We have the TCP R&P in our 65. the brackets bolt directly (and solidly) to the backside of the LCA leaving no room for the eccentric. I would suggest anyone considering this combination to talk directly to Total Control Products. I am with Total Control Products, and I have Lino's word...

    66 4 speed Coupe - Installing Hurst Shifter

    Incedently, I had the wrong kit. My local speed shop swore it was correct. After 2 hours,I called Hust (Mr Gasket) then David Kee. Got the right kit the next day and it was a breeze. BTW, Hurst is no longer part of Mr Gasket. B&M bought Hurst a little over a year ago. Tim

    TCP rack + Vario Camber setup in a '66 ?

    The TCP rack assembly appears to use this use this bolt hole to locate the inner mounting bracket, and it is possible the vario camber welded plate which is sitting proud of the chassis will interfere with the TCP mounting bracket. Any knowledge as to whether this will be a problem ...

    Torsional rigidity test: 67 coupe

    OK, here's a question...wouldn't this all be changed dramatically by having a motor/trans bolted in the car? It's not like it is a stressed member of the chassis, but it would appear to be something like a triangulated brace...bolted to both sides of the engine compartment and the center of the...

    Vacuum advance or mechanical advance

    Your best bet, and probably the cheapest solution (if in fact it is the solution) is to take your distributor to a shop that can check the curve. Those curve numbers in the instructions are estimations. THere are many variables that affect how the advance comes in. Did your engine builder give...

    New TCP Catalog/Products

    I understand that price increases come as a shock, but we really had no choice. Material costs have skyrocketed, as have nearly every cost associated with manufacturing, from labor, to maintenance, etc. There has not been a TCP price increase for a LOOOOONG time, but it had to happen. We...

    Updated TCP G-Bar triangulated 4-link...

    You will have a little more room, because the arms are narrower than the stock leafs, but they do use the stock forward leaf spring mounts, and this keeps you from gaining too much room. Maybe 3/4"?

    Updated TCP G-Bar triangulated 4-link...

    It appears that you will have to cut a rectangular hole in the upward-sloping area between the fuel tank and the area where the shocks mount. I do not have pictures of that surgery yet, we don't have the patch panel built at this time. It will not be very large or very involved, and we will have...

    Updated TCP G-Bar triangulated 4-link...

    I am going to put one under my 69 Cougar as well. We used my car to test-fit the g-bar, and found that on 69-70 Cougars it will take a little cutting of the trunk floor. The plan is to have a template and a "patch" panel (for lack of a better word), that will come with the Cougar g-bars. By...
