    What Do I Need To Do To Get This Thing To Kick Down?

    I'm new to automatics (I'm a manual trans type of guy), so I have what could be a dumb question. I put a 302/C4 in my Fairlane last fall, and never had anything on it to make it kick down. It will downshift fine if I'm just slowing down, but I'd really like it to kickdown when given the gas...

    351w Combo Advice

    Don't be afraid of a bigger set of heads. On my 351w, I have a set of tfs 170's with a comp xe284 cam, and I really believe that I left some on the table by only using 170's. Keep in mind that the cross sectional area of TFS heads are larger than others of similar ratings, they are more...

    Looking Form My Moms 1965

    I'll see if I can get my wife to check it out. I don't know how she does it, but she can dig stuff up. A couple of years ago I got really bummed out about a truck I had that I still really miss, and I wanted it back at any cost. I sold it about 12 years ago, and she ended up finding the whole...

    Broken Lower Intake Bolt

    You might also run a tap through the holes just to make sure there's no trash in there that could also cause problems like that, as well as screw up torque readings.

    Guess Who's Turning 44?

    It's far from the 200 I6/3 speed that it was 44 years ago. I think when I paint it though I will go back Meadowlark Yellow. Probably with a blacked out hood and tail panel.

    My new project! (pics)

    I put it in it's first car show today. A friend of mine bought an old Ford dealership down here and is opening up a performance shop. He had a car show today to kick everything off. It was a great turnout to be in such a little town. Almost ran out of room. It really got a lot of attention. A...

    My new project! (pics)

    Yeah, I've decided to leave it alone. I've kind of fallen in love with the way it looks. I'm going to try to get new carpet for it soon, and the seams on the seats started busting, so I'm either going to have them sewn back up or re covered. I'm also going to finish the a/c.

    Oh Crap, It Fell Down The Intake! Help!?!

    It happens. A few weeks ago a buddy of mine dropped a nut down the carb in his Maverick while it was running. I helped him take the head off and retrieve what was left of it, luckily it didn't really hurt anything. We put the head back on and he's been driving it around.

    My new project! (pics)

    Lol! I'm not going to go into details but I'll just say that this car got me pulled over and got me out of a ticket at the same time just a few minutes ago!!! LMAO!

    Oh Crap, It Fell Down The Intake! Help!?!

    There is a borescope you can use. I had to use one one time on my 04GT but luckily I have a hook up with a shop. They let me use their new 600$ borescope that has a light and a 4 inch video screen. That would be great if you could get ahold of one of those. Worst case scenereo, you have to get...

    My new project! (pics)

    I know, the freaking whole bodywork on the 65 Fairlane was one year specific. The real crazy thing is that I didn't really know how good the score of the one year radio was until last week at the Mid America Ford and Shelby Nationals. I saw a man looking at what looked to be a common type of...

    My new project! (pics)

    OH!!!!!! I almost forgot!! I broke the radio delete plate back last winter, so when I saw a guy at the Goodguys show here at TMS with a 63 Fairlane selling parts out of the trunk, I had to look. I ended up with this radio, for only 40$!!! With the right faceplate, knobs and everything! 40$...

    My new project! (pics)

    Here's a couple of pics from the last week or so. I know, it doesn't look any different, but it is still cool enough (to me) to post! One from about two weeks ago: Earlier tonight:

    My new project! (pics)

    So, I bought 2 new front tires (a more reasonably sized 225/45/17, perfect size), two new front shocks, idler arm bushings, and new tie rod adjusting sleeves. I didn't replace the tie rod ends, but I checked them and they don't have any slack/slop, so I cleaned them up to where they look new...

    What Would Be Involved In Bringing Back The Tight Feel To My Steering?

    The first thing I would do is change to some good steering rack bushings. I put some Energy Suspension poly bushings in mine even when it was still low mileage, and it seemed like it tightened it quite a bit. Of course, that's assuming your tie rod ends are still good too. Basically what Rusty...
