    gas cap question

    How do I tell the difference :shrug: The reason I got this one is because my garage stunk of gas. With this cap I get no fumes at all.

    gas cap question

    I replaced my tired looking gas cap with a new one. The old one was very loose and I never really paid it much attention. The new one fits really snug and that's great. The old gas cap was missing the rubber seal. Now the engine seems to be a little sluggish now. My thoughts are to check...

    idler arm woes

    I am having trouble getting this idler arm off. I have tried banging on the center link with a hammer. I am just trying to get it off so I can put a roller bearing kit in. If I could get the bushing out without having to take it off that would work as well so any tip to help get the kit...

    Roller idler arm questions for those that installed one.

    I don't have an air hammer but I do have a pickle fork and a regular hammer. I hope I don't do any damage. I don't see why it's so hard for it to come out....

    Roller idler arm questions for those that installed one.

    Ok...I preface this by saying I have never done this before. I started doing the roller bearing mod on my 66 after being inspired by this thread. I am still nervous about doing it but I figured this was simple enough to try. I have the idler arm bracket unbolted and the cotter pin and bolt...

    where can I buy the H4 relay conversion kit

    I know Summit Racing sells the APC conversion kit but they won't get any in until 11/15. Anybody know of a location where I can buy the conversion kit so I don't have to wait ? I would prefer to not make the relays. Painless makes a relay kit but I don't see any reason to pay twice as much.

    newbie header question

    Ok I have a 302 that the PO told me came out of a Granada. He showed me the mild mods he made to the car but he never got around to putting new headers on it. Stock manifold on it now. I went online and looked for 302 tri-ys and found quite a few of them but some of them say they will fit...

    Roller idler arm questions for those that installed one.

    I am going to try this same swap this coming weekend....should I just go ahead and order a 67 bracket ? Maybe premature to say I can't get it to work but I'd hate to get all that done just to have to wait on a part since there's no place to walk in and buy it.

    302 carb recommendation

    I have a cruiser that I'd like to change the carb on. It's a 2 barrel and I just prefer to keep the intake the same and just change the carb. Any recommendations ? By the way, that brings up another question. What is TOO MUCH carb for 2 barrel 302 ? I have seen postings and people referred...

    custom sub enclosure

    I gotta ask what materials you used for the sub enclosure. Like where did you get the ring the sub is attached to ? Also what is that stuff that you sprayed inside the tire ? Is that to make the sound better ? This has just been added to my to-do list but I'd like to know what to budget...

    blank faceplate for radio ?

    I didn't see the plate on there. I spent 30 minutes looking <shrug> Not the most user friendly site. A search button would be nice... Mustangs Unlimited sells one but it's 60 bucks. I was hoping to get something for about half that price.
