I don’t like to...

    Wheel size and back spaceing

    The chart helps a lot. What size, besides stock, would you go for? I was thinking about a 16X8 in the rear and a 16x5 in the front. The car doesn’t have power steering in it yet, and with the 15x7 all around it right now, it is not a pleasure to drive, it’s more like work. I like the look of the...

    67 mustang 289 Help!!

    you may have had a temp vapor lock. Once you slowed down let the motor cool down a little, and the fuel line re load, the problem went away.... Thats my take on what happend. Unless there were other problems at the same time as the power surge, IE, heavy vibrations, knocking, pinging, smells...
