    1970 Cougar Disc Spindles On A Mustang

    I think they're the same parts that would have come on a Mustang. There are aftermarket conversions that are much better than the Granada swap.

    1 Quart Every 500 Miles

    I think low oil pressure usually a symptom of bad bearings.

    1 Quart Every 500 Miles

    Daily driver. I'd have someone else build the engine. I can do the r&r. I probably wouldn't want to spend more than $3k on the build.

    1 Quart Every 500 Miles

    No puddles in the driveway, so I don't think it's leaking. No detonation either. It really does run well. I actually have a fresh (never fired) '84 351w sitting in the corner of the garage. I had a '69 project it was destined for, but have since sold it. It's stock, but for an Edelbrock...

    1 Quart Every 500 Miles

    I consider that pretty heavy oil consumption, but the engine runs well, and only smokes a bit when taking off from a stop. There aren't any valve train, or bearing noises. The car is a '91 LX 5.0 convertibe, 100% stock with 175k miles. I know it could run for a long time like this, but the smoke...

    Are these budget shifters any good?

    Finding a used one is a good idea.

    Are these budget shifters any good?

    I'd like a new shifter, but my car is really just a driver. It's never going to the track. It seems like the suggested shifters are a couple of hundred bucks. If this one is any good at all, it seems like a bargain. Has anyone tried these...

    New owner of a 70 vert, advice needed

    What are you looking to do with the car? Are you planning on doing this rebuild yourself? You'll still need machine work. I'd go with the machinists recommendations as far as boring. All the rest depends on what you want out of the car. If you're looking to build a hotrod, I'd get a 351 and...

    looking for advice on a carb

    I think Holley recommends vacuum secondary carbs because they'll run better "out of the box" with less tuning. It helps to keep calls to their support line down. I have 3 different cars with mechanical secondary carbs that run flawlessly. I have a friend who is an ex-GM engineer who worked on...

    looking for advice on a carb

    He didn't really word that correctly. It does have the choke horn and mount, it's just missing the choke kit. I have a couple of Demons just like that. I think Jegs still has the choke kits. It looks like he sold it anyway.

    Get a 650, mechanical secondaries if you have a manual transmission, or vacuum secondaries if you have an automatic transmission.

    1969 Ford Mustang FastBack Rebirth

    That's what I'd do as well. Once you have it running and driving you can decide where your priorities lie.

    69 Shelby GT 500 . . . looking for a new home . . . Royal Maroon

    Ok, I inquired about this car when someone else posted it on the saac forum. I have a bunch of pictures in case anyone is interested. I did not get pictures of the underside though. It's driver quality.
