    Finally!! 10sec street car.

    Yea, couldn't make jerry's party this year. We had my nieces graduation in Sioux Falls, SD. Although there was a rock concert right across the parking lot when we got there. Found out it was Great White, Ratt, and Dokken!! :nice: I grew up listening to all these guys! Later that night, we...

    Finally!! 10sec street car.

    I like cedar. They usually have a better prepped track than rock falls WI. They are very relaxed also. Only bad thing is the LONG drive for me. I wish I would have known about the street racing a couple of years ago. Me and some friends went down on Fri night and camped till Sat right at...

    Finally!! 10sec street car.

    Sorry about the idiot remark. Didn't mean you. I just don't like the idea of taking a car to the track that far away without a trailer. My mach when it was running low 13's, had a water pump go out. Had lots of my friends have small stuff (and big things) go wrong also, but they had the...

    Finally!! 10sec street car.

    Just wondering how many of you actually put 3000 miles on THEIR car in a summer?? :rolleyes: Yep, that is the only place this thing gets trailered is the racetrack. When you go that far and are doing nothing but making hard launches, and doing wide open passes all day, there is a good chance...

    Finally!! 10sec street car.

    Yep, I trailer my car to the track. It is a 2 1/2 hour drive down to the track. If I was to break down, it would be a LONG walk back home. If I knew it wouldn't break, I would drive it down! It is tubbed with a 4 link. Mufflers, dot hoosier quick time pros. Like I said, full interior with...

    Finally!! 10sec street car.

    I now have an official 10 sec street car. Went back to Cedar falls IA. First pass off the trailer and it went 10.89@122!! Finally! I knew it would do it. Got in an open comp race for $20 and made it to the semis and won $30. Pulls the wheels real hard. Man is that fun! Then later on, after...

    Mach 1 Hood Pin Alignment

    Yes, there is adjustments. There is a nut on the bottom side of the lock (have to look at it under the hood) Push the lock down while looking under there, and you will see that there is a locknut. You have to really loosen that nut up because there is a washer that is locked to the shaft and...

    Cam too tight in rebuilt engine?

    Yep, it should turn very freely. I had the same problem when I built the 408. But my cam would not even go into the block! I took it back to the machine shop that installed the bearings. ( I also had another cam just to put in and try, which did the same thing). He checked all of the...

    What would cause engine break-up at 5200 RPM?

    Start with the basics. Pull the plugs. Are they new? Did you bump some so that the gap is closed? How about the gap being too big. If you do not have a real hot ignition setup, I would gap them around .025-.030. Any more and your ignition may not be able to jump the gap. How about wires...

    1970 TIMING COVER POINTER

    I left my old pointer on it. Very hard to see but with the hose off, I lined up the timing mark. Then I took a piece of aluminum and cut and bent it so that it would bolt to one of the timing cover bolts on the other side. My balancer is marked at 270 dg. I bent the alum. and shaped the end...

    Knocking on the 10sec door!!

    Boy, what a difference a converter can make! Got one through coan. Damn expensive but it works great. Was at BIR in july for a muscle car shootout and with the dot's and mufflers, it ran 11.40's@118. Trans brake did nothing for the car. 1.7 60ft's. New converter - Ran 11.13@119 off the trailer...

    70 must. Which lokar throttle cable??

    Anybody running a lokar cable on a 70 mustang?? I put a vic jr on mine now and the stock cable does work, but it right on the limit as far as length goes. I would like to try a carb spacer, but the cable is too short. If so, what part # did you use?? Thanks much!!:nice:

    swapped distributer, now no oil pressure.

    The oil pump shafts are supposed to have a clip on them. When you install them from below, this clip will keep it from coming out of the pump when pulling the dist. It is possible that the clip was down to far or not on at all and the shaft pulled out of the pump.
