    1970 Grande won't start; looking for thoughts

    Jordan; Sorry to hear about the delay in your project. But with all that's gone on, I believe you should be very thorough before attempting to fire up your car. I would reccomend you start with the fuel system, making sure that you've gotten rid of all the old gas, and paint dust. If your car...

    New owner of a 70 vert, advice needed

    I agree with the others. If you want a nice driver, and aren't focused on Muscle as much as Pep, then stick with the 302! They're a great motor, and can obtain better mileage then one with a bigger displacement. Since you're not too sure how deep your going to jump at this time, Keep your...

    Opinions - Used Mustang

    Without knowing more about the car, I would say $3500 is Plenty in todays market. It sounds as if the guy may be hurting for money, so don't let the "Bring Cash" thing worry you. Just make sure that the title is free and clear of all liens, and if you really want the car, don't be afraid to make...

    70 Mach I fuel line question

    Check your fuel tank. If it is still original, and came with the evaporative emissions package, it has a different tank that's 20 gallon, instead of 22. It also includes a anti- slosh filler neck, (larger diameter) and some other internal junk mounted through the top of the left front part of...

    Is this a good deal?

    First thing I notice is the condensation on the inside of the glass. This indicates that the car is Damp inside. Secondly you need to do the math on the simple things you already know need replacing. Battery = $100. Rear Bumper = $175 Ignition Switch = $50 Tires & wheels = $675 Carpets = $125...

    headlights upgrade

    The nice thing about the relay harness, is that you plug your headlight harness into them. After that, the only draw on your original harness is what's required to pull the relays in, as the power for your headlights is no longer being drawn through your headlight switch. A far better way to...

    headlights upgrade

    I've been running e-code lights in all of my vehicles since 1976. I've experienced many brands, and have always found Hella's to be quite good, ( w/ the exception of their newer DOT approved versions) and easier to obtain then some of the other "High End" lights. I've also ran Bosch, Cibie, and...

    9" rear for a 1970 mustang

    Although I'm no expert, You should be able to use a 9" from any '68 - '70 cougar, and it should be a direct bolt in. It's possible that the more recent years would have the vent on the wrong side, but I'm not sure.... Maybe someone will chime in. 8" Value? Probably not much, But if you're...

    Buying Global West SFC's

    Ya I'm curious! I've had other GW products, and have considered them to be a top notch company to deal with! However I'm running the Heidt's sfc, and x-brace in my '68, but want to see the GW's for future consideration in other projects. So if you still have the pics, I'd like to check em out....

    302 Flywheel ringgear question

    Sorry to hear that! I hope it all works out for you, and is something simple.... Just to cheer you up; I have a '68, Factory J-code, 4sp. car and awhile back I went to buy a "New" flywheel for it. After installing it, I noticed an issue with the starter location, and thought I had the wrong...

    302 Flywheel ringgear question

    I think you may have the wrong starter? IIRC there are two different diameters, and I think they're within the thousands. I'll try to find a link. Check this out..... http://www.bcbroncos.com/ford%20starters.pdf

    Spring removal?

    Sorry to Disagree; But after having prior experience with those and other types, I would never recommend this style be used on our design of suspension. IMHO they're far too dangerous, and using an internal seems to work best. Just my .02 sense
