    Rear End help

    probably the exact same modifications identified in your article, except you would probably need to shorten the rearend, if they don't suggest it already, but I can't really say. Why do you want to do this swap? If you have an 8 inch rear already in it, they are plenty strong, and MUCH easier...

    lower rad hose w/spring inside---where to find? (afco rad)

    If the hose is too long and it kinks, why are you asking about a spring? That won't solve anything. Probably the best thing for you to do is measure the radiator diameter where the hose attaches, as well as your water pump, go to the parts store and ask for a universal flex hose that is...

    lower rad hose w/spring inside---where to find? (afco rad)

    you shouldn't have to add any spring if the instructions say that you don't need to. There is probably something else wrong.

    PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    he got the smart idea to drive it? I'm afraid you got the smart idea to LET him drive it, when you knew it shouldn't be driven? I do not see how in one swoop, a transmission, driveshaft, AND rearend could all be destroyed. But, if that is the case, your best bet is to find a donor car in a...

    can i re-use my upper to lower intake gasket?

    I disagree. I don't think it helps at all, just makes a mess of things. Why add something that is not supposed to be there?

    replacing Capri carb.

    Yes.... we have been through this. That is all fine and dandy until it comes time to smog the car. So, does your capri need to be smogged in chicago? I bet it does....

    can i re-use my upper to lower intake gasket?

    I would re-use it but not use any RTV. Those gaskets are designed to not use RTV, that is why you don't see any on there right now.

    copper head gasket question?

    I think he is talking about the head gaskets that are all copper. And yes I think you can re-use them a few times, but not like 20 times. But I am not 100% on that, you should contact the gasket manufacturer. If you are talking about putting sealer anywhere on/around the head gasket, that is...

    JBA Tri-Y/Long Tube/Mid-Length Headers

    I'm curious why JBA's over doug's? Are the JBA's cheaper? I've got the doug's for a C4 and they are a great fit.

    TOP hose cool BOTTOM hose hot?

    I do not think in water circulation it matters that cold water would "sink". The reason is that the water is cooled as it goes down through the radiator. The reason the tranny lines run there is because that is where it's cooler, but not because cold water "sinks" down there. Funny that your...

    replacing Capri carb.

    The 1406? They are not 50 state legal. Edelbrock does make a 50 state legal carb, but not for Fords.

    replacing Capri carb.

    Well the biggest problem I had when I first got it was that it was running super rich and I could not figure out why. I sent it to holley and they replaced the whole front float bowl and metering block as well as the baseplate. Then it stopped running rich, but they put some kind of resin on...
