    Plastic Front valance panel

    I got mine from mustangs unlimited. Required some work, but wasn't to bad. The fenders and head lamp buckets were repo, so not sure which one was out but I fixed it on the valance.

    Checking Pushrod Length

    All I've done are with solids, after re-reading some of my "sources" you should make the hyd lifter solid. Like Sitdown did. There are some post on the bottom that talk about this. As far as weaker springs (or checker springs), I don't think a weaker spring is going to change the geometry...

    Checking Pushrod Length

    I believe a standard SBF solid lifter should have the same over all length as a standard SBF hyd lifter that has fluid in it. I'd call the manufacture of who ever made your lifters and ask them which solid lifter they recommend for checking push rod length. Maybe some here can help on that, I...

    Checking Pushrod Length

    The reason you use solid lifters is the to ensure your lifter is the same length as it would be when the car is running. The Hyd lifter uses engine oil when running and is a different length than when it was no fluid in it. I originally bought the TFS checker, and then bought the more...

    pmangelos, you got pics? I also have a MK8 fan, but it is trimmed, and have almost no clearance. What did you do for pullies?

    351 Windsor

    do you have any info on the motor? octane requirement has to do with compression and your valve timing. If it is requiring a higher octane and you run pump gas, you can quickly break things. You don't NEED to run a higher octane, but if it is required you will need to buy a new motor if you...

    Short Water Pump in a '65 / 351W

    I also did the cutting, and it is not noticable, unless you are looking for stock look. When cut and painted it is not noticed, except by those who know what a 65/66 core support should look like. I'll see if I can get some pics.

    Short Water Pump in a '65 / 351W

    interested, I had similar problems, solved with Ron Morris mounts. I am currently having pulley alignment issues, and wouldn't mind switching to a shorter pump and solving with that. I have about 1/2 inch between my fan and water pump pulley. Is the pump standard flow? I know the newer...

    351w into 65 coupe

    depending on heads and headers ron morris mounts may require some mods, as mine did. Though I was able to move my engine back a little more than an inch.

    covnerting 240 ohm to 73 ohm fuel gauge

    yeah, I thought about that. I have a robbmc unit, was almost $200. The reo is enclosed with what looks like spot welds. I think I'll spend the $50 for a new gauge. sucks.

    I have a fuel gauge from the following kit.. Auto Meter 1300 - Auto Meter Arctic White Analog Gauge Kits - Application - SummitRacing.com and a stock style replacement sending unit (73 to 10 ohm). Short of replacing the gauge is there anything I can do to make it work. I bought a bag of...

    Vacuum Switch???

    try snow water meth injection, I think their lower end unit uses an external switch like you are looking for; if not try some of the other meth inject companies.

    cable clutch header clearance

    Is there enough clearance in the attached pic? I can get about a finger and half between the header and the cable. I got the long cable and out past the oil filter then back.

    Disc Brakes for stang 66

    I got csrp, easy to install, inexpensive, and oem type; also used mustang steve for the booster, v6 200 stang master. I bought the explorer disc brakes from strange for my 9 inch. If you have a 9 inch, the junk yard might be an option on the explorers. I had to get banjo bolts for mine at a...

    Installing a brake prop valve, easy process?

    I'd say not to bad, of all the things I've done to the car. I installed explorer rear disc, CSRP up front, all from scratch (nothing installed on the car). I used an adjustable prop, added a line lock. I ordered some pre-bent lines, of which all were modified (re-bent or cut and re-flared)...
