    What should my engine temp and oil pressure be?

    When I bought the car it the PO said it was rebuilt and bored .030 over. I havent checked to make sure he was telling the truth. I forget how many miles are on the rebuild. How many miles did it take yours to break in and not be so hot? I'm going to do the water flow check, i'll report back soon!

    What should my engine temp and oil pressure be?

    Mustangmatt, I was just replying to his post. I'm not getting pissed off, I just get a little annoyed when people ask the same question over and over when all they had to do was read the post before. Ok so anyways, i'll try the letting the air escape thing. How do I check if the water pump...

    Anyone installed 3 point seatbelts? I NEED HELP!

    chelle is a lady :) Looking back I could have just bought a cheap kit off ebay and done the same install. Instead, me being stupid, bought the fricken expensive one from NPD. :( A question for chelle, on your page you said you got some seatbelt deals for moving the seatbelt away from your...

    Anyone installed 3 point seatbelts? I NEED HELP!

    chelle, the reason that girl installed the inertia reel in the floorboard was that it needs to be level. When a vehicle comes to a stop, something about the inertia reel becomes unlevel causing the belt to stop coming out automatically. Or something along those lines. Just a FYI

    Anyone installed 3 point seatbelts? I NEED HELP!

    I just installed them today. Took me all day but they are in and working! The only instructions I followed were cutting the slit in the metal, welding the nut to the washer (dont weld a locking nut, it just melts the locking part), and mounting the inertia reel. Otherwise it was pretty...

    question about tri y headers

    Dont get new ones! I bought the exact same headers from CJ Pony and am having the same exact problem. But I have a 66. I have enough clearance on the drivers side but my passenger side still rubs the shock tower. I think one of the aprons was replaced sometime in the life of the car though. I...
