    Interior paint

    You need to use a paint STRIPPER not a thinner. I like to use air craft stripper you can find it at Pep boys, it does a great job but do not get it on your skin. I recommend that you wear thick rubber gloves and a resperator when you use it. Apply it with a brush and let it sit on the paint...

    EFI, Fox Brake Booster Question

    I also have the 5.0 fox brake booster in my 68. I moved the pin on the brake pedal down, instead of flipping the rod over. When you flip the rod over it changes the height at which the brake pedal sits. Mario

    Dies when put into gear

    Could be a bad torque convertor, tranny, or possibly your ignition (since you said it was doing it while you are driving). I would check to make sure that your coil and ignition box are good along with the rest of the ignition first, then check out your driveline. If you have a lock up torque...

    Motor Mount troubles

    I would say yes to the fact that it was the accident, but when I got the car back from the body shop the 289 that was in the car sat fine. The motor sat at the proper height and was level, everything was cool until I changed the motor mounts. When you mention the v6 mounts I am assuming you...

    Motor Mount troubles

    Well here is the deal with that. The car was in a bad accident about 7 years ago, and I had the passanger side shock tower replace with a shock tower from the junk yard. The donor car was a Cougar, but I am not sure if it was a 68 or a 67 Cougar. The passanger side is the side I am having...

    Trying to get 400RWHP out of a carbed 351W : TAKE TWO

    We went with AFR 185 heads, RPM Air gap intake, roller rockers, split pattern cam I think it was a comp cam CCA-35-246-3, but I am not sure now (it may have been a little more aggressive than that). We also used long tube header with a 1 5/8" tubes into 2.5" exhaust, MSD control box and mallory...

    Quality quarter panel?

    Wow SuperDave is back. Good to hear from you, haven't seen you around in a long time. I was thinking about the Ford Tooling quarter, but I have to find a vendor that carries that brand. I am unsure about using the quarter from NPD, because they said it was made overseas. I remember when...

    EFI Swap Sensors not needed

    If you do not install the EGR system, you need to disable it with either a tunner such as a TwEECer or with a chip. The reason you need to disable the EGR system is because the computer leans out the fuel mixture during certain driving conditions and uses the gases from the EGR system to...

    Brand new FMS Starter wont work

    Sounds like you may have fried the solenoid on the starter. This would make sense since you aplied a constant 12V to it instead of a switched 12V. Make sure that you have a constant 12V at the starter on the thick red/black wire, and that you are getting 12V on the smaller wire when you...
