    Ticking, smoking

    Ticking, smoking

    The smoke went away, howeve the ticking did not. Its pretty damn loud, loud enough to hear it standing 5-10 feet away. Like I said its coming from the passenger side of the 302, and louder underneath. Could this be rod knock? :damnit: And like I said now It wont rev past 3 grand, it just...

    Ticking, smoking

    Hey guys I need your help. I just got a set of Summit racing headers and their headerback exhaust. I finally started the car tonight, and I noticed that the ticking I heard before seems a little louder. Also, its smoking when you give it gas. And, its not revving past 3,000 rpm. Anything...

    Powersteering drop bracket install?

    I am so pissed. I got nothing. I have no idea where that is. I thought I found it, undid the two bolts, and then realized it was the arm for the parking brake unit. Wtf is it? Is there a diagram I can look at it? The only thing else that I see is this huge box at the end of the steering...

    Headers and powersteering drop bracket

    Dammit, I wish I had checked this thread earlier. I ordered the part for 15 flat from Autozone for the same exact peice, should be here within a few days.

    Headers and powersteering drop bracket

    The headers are the cheapest ones Summit carries, their own brand. Returning them is not an option now as I have the passenger side on, and it got scratched in the process :notnice: If anyone has put headers on a 73, you will know what I'm talking about. The driver's side is going to be such...

    Headers and powersteering drop bracket

    Let me start off by saying I am incredibly unbelveibly pissed at Summit Racing. Personally I will NEVER order from them again. They seem unwilling to help, and very uninforming. I ordered a headerback exhaust last week. When it came, it didnt match up to my headers. They never told me it...

    Couple questions

    Hey guys, I got a couple quick questions. I ordered a Summit Racing exhaust for my 73, and went to put it on tonight. The flange on the new exhaust is gigantic, over 4 inches. Compared to the stock headers, it literally goes over the header, in no way shape or form is this exhaust going to...

    Yeah, I havnt actully checked because It is catching for a second, then it just dies. Yes, it did smoke when I bought it, but only a tiny bit, and went away after a few seconds. I'm actully pretty sure its flooded, because I pulled a plug and it was black, wet, and reeked of gas. These plugs...

    1973 Mustang help, no start

    Hey guys, I'm new to Mustangs. I recently purchased a 1973 convertible from a guy who had it sitting on his lawn for a couple years. Every day I drove by his house, and one day I decided to ring his doorbell and ask if he wanted to sell it. I got it for 3 grand. Basically, it needs a...
