    Price question...

    sounds like she isnt really out of the ballpark with her price. if the motor was in tip top shape, id say it was a deal. even a coupe's price is going up these days. in a few years, you could have a real investment in your possesion if you keep it original. id say around 12 or 13k is a good...

    Overheating. need bigger radiator?

    well, i finally broke down and bought an aluminum radiator from griffin. it has a 600hp capacity so it should be more than enough to cool my 289. it was very expensive though. i had contiplated doing the chevy universal thing since crossflow rads are better, but im sure this will solve my...

    Installed Lokar A/T Kickdown cable

    Yeah, thats what im banking on. im using a 289 w/ a c4, but im sure the setup is very similar. thanks for the info though, ill just get the lokar cable and bracket instead of the holley bracket. im pretty sure edelbrocks and holleys have the same style linkage on the side of the carb so it...

    Installed Lokar A/T Kickdown cable

    I am very interested, but the problem is i dont know what all i need. my holley carb has the ford kickdown, but not the spring and perch. and then i see that lokar makes there own spring and perch, so i really just dont know what all parts i need besides that actual lokar kickdown cable. maybe...

    New Brake Problem!!!!!

    Installing Tranny Cooler, help

    just wondering, is there any reason to block off the ports to the radiator cooler lines if you dont use them. once both lines are disconnected, nothing will come out of there right?

    Anyone used Holley projection fuel injection??

    is that the 4bbl model? i wonder if it works alot better than the 2bbl, besides the increased hp potential.

    Couple of questions

    well, if your dash sensor doesnt work or you dont care if it works, u can use the stock location. u may need some kind of adapter fitting, but that is where it goes. into the top of the intake. some people who have a fitting on the top of there thermostat housing use it, but i wouldnt recommend...

    Couple of questions

    the STA is the correct place since it does not have power when the car isnt running, but you can also use heater blower motor wire like i did. it is hot when the key is on. i never have the cars ignition on with it not running though. and yes you should be able to see where the ground goes from...

    Another 8" rear question

    the 8.8 is a very strong piece, the only thing that makes it better is removing the c clips with c clip eliminators much like the standard 8" and 9" have. the 8" doesnt have c clips so at least if you break an axle, your rear end wont go falling apart on you :) i know ive thrown 450 hp and 480...

    How to empty water before removing heads

    ive never done it, but the manual says to remove the engine and head drain plugs if this is practical. or you could remove the intake (now dont laugh, this works) and use a wet/dry shop vac to suck it out of the heads, just make sure the rest of the system is already drained otherwise youll be...

    Modern Fluids, Classic Pony

    for the rear i like a 75w90 part synthetic, if you have a posi, dont forget a bottle of gm or ford friction modifier. although on some of the bottles of rear gear oil it says it contains this additive, usually in the fine print it says only for topping off, you will still need the friction...

    need to advance timing- canister hits water neck

    for future reference, finding tdc isnt as hard as people think. you rotate the crank with a small pinky finger in the number 1 hole (dont do this if its hot :) ) or i prefer a screwdriver until you feel the piston hit. this tells you you are basically tdc. now u are either right on or 90' out...

    I want to pull the trigger... BUT...

    ditto. i agree with krash. trust me, i got raped on my 65, if only id had the sense or known about stangnet before i bought it. i agree that 10k could be a good price, but could is the key. a 500 dollar maaco paint job can be deceiving, especially to those of us who get real excited when we...

    Be Cool Electric Fans

    One thing i hate more than anything, is when someone like you gets on here and gets all fired up over this kind of thing. this is a discussion and maybe im reading more into what you are saying, or maybe you are just too emotional, but when you throw and insult like" logical thinking isnt one of...
