    HiPo 289 Hot start problem

    try putting a thin, 3/8"-1/2" or so, phenolic spacer between the carb and intake. this will mitigate fuel percolation problems which are common on cars with aluminum intakes and especially common with aluminum intakes and holley carbs for some reason. or instead of a phenolic spacer use the...

    Before/After of the Torino

    i like it both ways myself. i've always had a thing for the formal roof torinos, probably since i almost traded the stang for one back when i was in high school.

    wow this thread got ugly quick. i know Dhearne was honsetly just trying to help you out dude but you obviously misinterpreted what he was trying to say. he's just a straight and to the point kind of guy, he wasn't trying to be an ass. i can tell from you experience that the cost diff between...

    Anybody want to school me on electronic ignition?

    i'm running a Mallory Mnilite conversion in my stock dizzy and it's been dead nuts reliable except for a few bad modules back in the early 90's but Mallory had a bad batch of modules back then and owned up to it, since then i've had no problems with it all. Accel also has a version of this...

    new 392 but old exhaust

    for the system on my cougar with a mild 351w i plan on using either 2.25" with dynomax "hemi" super turbos or going to a 2.5" system with a set if hi-flo universal cats, a set of 24" or 30" glass packs (resonators) before the "hemi" turbo muffs. both systems will use a rolled lip quad exhaust...

    Patience with Autolite 4300 growing thin

    the 4100 is a great carb, no doubt about it. i think for your application a 1.12 4100 from a 352 would work well. there was also a 4100 made in 68 and 69 for the 428 police interceptor engines and a few early 68 shelby's got it as well since they used the PI engine until the CJ came out later in...

    Cheap Rack-in-pinion conversion

    i never said an off the shelf J-car rack was a direct replacement, however knowing what all is involved in modifying the J-car rack it wouldn't take too much to make an off the shelf replacement work just fine, yes it would cost a little more but still totally possible. also, there are CV...

    Cheap Rack-in-pinion conversion

    well actually you are right AND wrong. the Randalls rack is in fact a J-car rack, however they are specially modified J-car racks with the tie rod attachment point relocated from the front of the rack to the backside, otherwise it is a basic off the shelf J-car rack. i believe the unisteer rack...

    Cheap Rack-in-pinion conversion

    well buy a used Durango rack and see what will work and what won't. i would like to say though, that you 71-73 guys really don't need a rack and pinion system as you already have the option of one of the best steering boxes ever made, the saginaw variable ratio box. this is the same box that GM...

    1968 "W" Code production numbers

    someone may have checked the box for the 427 but that does not mean that Ford made the car with a 427....in reality they didn't make any. there was an article in hemmings muscle machines a while back about an original owner 69 cougar eliminator that the guy ordered brand new and he checked the...

    1968 "W" Code production numbers

    correct, there were quite a few W code cougars made in 68 but a big fat ZERO mustangs made with the W code 427, even in Shelby's contrary to popular opinion.

    steeroids / J-car Rack and pinion = Sloppy steering

    get someone to turn the wheel for you while you watch all the steering components for any slack, also check the ball joints as well. if that all checks out double check your alignment settings, if the tech didn't drive the car after setting the alignment and then recheck it after the test drive...

    Procar Rally and Belts

    fox body mustang or fiero seats are great for what you're asking, they are actually a little shorter than the stock early model seats and i believe they will also move back farther than stockers as well, at least my 86 mustang GT seats did anyway. i used to drive with the stock seats back as far...

    Percy's high performance polycarbonate windshield

    i wouldn't use this stuff on the windshield in a street car, but for the rest of the glass in the car i say go for it. losing a few pounds of heavy glass from the side windows especially would be really nice and help save door hinges too. i would tint the insides of the glass and get some of...
