    New to this forum, here are some pics

    Welcome to the Forums! That's a pretty nice ride!:nice: I assume you've punched it out to 347? Definately would have to post more pictures and your best ETs too! I see alot of Fiberglass parts on that thing. Must be pretty light. BTW looks like you've got a 1-piece front clip- less the...

    BATTERY TRAY please help

    I know this is a bit of a longshot, but i junked out a 1980 Pinto Wagon years back and it had something unique. The battery tray actually unbolted from the inner fender area in this car. The battery sits in the exact location as the II battery does but it seems that there was more space between...

    Parts Needed

    What's your location? Some people won't repond unless they are relitively close to you. Try to avoid dealing with shipping, ya know. :rolleyes: I believe you can still purchase the e-brake cable new over the counter at just about an parts house. I'm willing to bet Raybestos is still making...

    Ghia conversion to hardtop?

    Glad they made it there unharmed and that they are working out for ya. Always makes me nervous to ship glass, even thought these were in their frames. I bought a flywheel a while back from jmarks99 and somehow they managed to bust of one of the alignment pins for the clutch assy. John packaged...

    Coupler needed for manual rack

    Speedway also sells a joint that has the rubber dampening in it aswell. It is a Doubble-D config, so I'm not sure if it's do the trick or not. http://www.speedwaymotors.com/p/2036,297_Inline-Vibration-Dampeners.html If you cruise under the street rod parts and under steering, you'll find there...

    Starter issues

    I agree with what's been said reguarding the spacer plate. They are hard to mix up and pretty obvious when you go to stab a starter. Sounds like it is bolting up. If you have to force the starter -at all- to fit, something is wrong. Don't quote me on this Mark, but I believe just about all...

    Starter issues

    Either that or you need the 164 tooth flexplate. Visually it is hard to spot the difference between a bellhousing that requires either a 157 or 164 tooth flexplate until you go to bolt it up. Generally most post -'74 rigs and all trucks used the 164 tooth and the 60's and early 70's 'car' used...

    Ghia conversion to hardtop?

    Ok James, here's what I have on hand at my place. I may have a set of different color over at my dads. Forgot to crawl up in his shop's attic and take look. Didn't know of color was a big issue or not. The 1/4 glass are clear, not tinted. The two 1/4 stainless pieces both have little tiny dings...

    351W sligh misfire and popping after sitting

    Hmmm... Well, for starters, your brake lights may just be the switch on the brake pedal. You should have a hot wire going in (hot at all times) and a cold wire which will turn hot when you press the pedal. You won't need the key on as it's on a battery circuit. I've never used seafoam or any...

    Thinking of buying 1974 Mustang II - Help determine value

    Hmmm... must have confused your car with another I was looking at on the internet. I thought you wrote that it was a 4 banger... nevermind, I re-read it and obviously you didn't! :doh: Anyhow, yes it could be a V6 auto too. I think the V6 is a bit better, but the 4cyl factory rated isn't far...

    Anti sway bar needed

    Your welcome. :nice: Didn't take long to gather it all up. Probably longer to type the crap out than it did for me to dig it out for ya. I work on street rods and other muscle cars too. Pretty much anything '79 or older. :D I specialize in Fords but will work on a Chebby to pay for MY...

    Thinking of buying 1974 Mustang II - Help determine value

    I agree, 500-600 bucks. It a 4 banger coupe, automatic to boot that is gonna need alot of just cosmetic work from what I can see. An original 54k? Eh... I'd say more like 154K BUT- after living in New Mexico and seeing what heat does to cars... there is a slight, slight possibility that it's a...
