    Manual or auto better for drag racing?

    Like I said misleading. No Pro-Stock driver is pushing in a clutch. I agree that technically these are manual transmission but, we are talking street cars and I could buy two built autos for the prices you are quoting for your incomplete Jerico. Also, where and when have you seen Top Fuel cars...

    I busted my car up tonight

    A lot better than yours that for sure. That sucks big time! Just try to stay possitive and be thankful that you didn't do more damage than you did and most of all, that you and you're wife are ok. Hang in there. You do have insurance right?

    Manual or auto better for drag racing?

    Your post is a little misleading. All the transimission you are referring too funtion as an auto. Billy Glidden isn't pushing in a clutch like any 5spd. He's pulling a gear lever just like an auto. What are the Top Fuel guys running? They aren't running 5speeds and bang'n gears. Also, the...

    Anyone that has installed a billet grille...

    How much fabricating did you guys have to do to get the billet grille installed? Mine came in yesterday for my 67 and I thought this would be an easy sway. I unbolted the old grille and had it out in minutes. I then unpacked the new and uh oh? None of the mounting holes line up, if I line up the...

    Rack and Pinion Problems

    The end on the FR rack is a female rod and the Baer Tracker mates up to a male end. I have contacted FR by email to see if they have any suggestions. You would think they've had these questions from guys before. I'll wait and see what their reply is and let you guys know how it helps. Thanks for...

    Rack and Pinion Problems

    Well I guess it's back to square one! The Baer Tracker will not work with the FR rack. Any other units out there that might help?

    Rack and Pinion Problems

    Tim, I just noticed you are in Nova. Where in No Va are you? I'm up in Darnestown, Md. Thanks for all the advise. I ordered the Baer bumpsteer kit and hopefully it will be here soon. We'll see if that helps. 67project, I have a few more pics in my garage. Check those out and let me know what you...

    Rack and Pinion Problems

    65 fastback, thanks for the specs and I'll have to put it back up on the alignment machine and see how it works. Also, I was reffering to the caste/camber set up of the car. I don't think I'm running a full 2deg of caster but I do think it was close. The Bumpsteer issue is when I hit any bump in...

    Rack and Pinion Problems

    I have a 67 Vert that I put a FR r&p steering set up in. Before everyone starts yelling at me, I wasn't on this board until after I heard about there problems. Now that I have put some miles on the car and tried to work out some of the problems, I need some advise. What can I do to help this kit...

    Headlight Bucket Hardware

    I don't care. You don't see any of the parts so no it doesn't have to be new. Thanks for the help. I can't believe I just found this site. You guys are great!

    A PERFORMANCE sacrilegious swap

    It's not as tough of a sell as trying to convince a Mustang forum that putting a Chevy motor in your Mustang is the way to go. You've already made up your mind to do it so go ahead. You're not going to get the approval from the majority of this crowd. If you can't afford to play, stay at home...

    Carb recommendation

    If you go with a bigger carb you will just have to re-jet it to the what works best with the motor you have. Most people make the mistake of running too much carb for their motor and in the long run it hurts the performance.

    A PERFORMANCE sacrilegious swap

    Yeah I guess you guys are right, Ford should ditch the mod motor for the older pushrod design. The Mustang brand is dieing with it's mod motor up against the Camaro's with the LS1's? Wait a minute their is no more Camaro's. The Mustang out sold every Camaro that they've had since the early 80's...

    What will this engine give?

    What heads do you have? The 69 windsor with the 4barrel heads produce 310hp stock. I had almost the identical setup as what you described except for a bigger carb and a little more aggressive cam and we had about 380 out of it. It's all going to depend on what heads you have and if anything at...

    A PERFORMANCE sacrilegious swap

    I think both are. BTW, what's the best time you've ran in your GTO? What's done to the motor to give you 500rwhp?
