    I love them Pinto's. Had a 81 Panel with a 302. Only problem was you had to have the right music on the stereo so the girls would look away from the Mustangs and Camaros.

    Allcar (Does that include Pinto's) is right. However you can do the sunglasses test. Put your sunglasses on the dash. Mash on it. If your sunglasses hit the rear window you are fast enough!! :D

    Completely Dumbfounded. Someone get me a DUNCE cap.

    Anyone following knows that I had a problem with the head job done by my local machine shop. I rectified the problem with the correct valve and have 135~140 on all 8. Car is running smooth (or so I thought). Had about 300 miles since then and was 25 miles from the house. Getting on the...

    coil springs

    When cutting 620's to lower the car you need to measure the coil and remove approximately 1.25 inches from the center section. :D Find a coil spring shop near you. I used one in Concord CA. (Coil Springs Inc.) and they made the springs for my kitty then after all was installed I took the...

    Rocker arm questions.

    Having had to replace an intake valve that the machine shop "thought" would work I now have 135~140 psi compression on all eight. As a result the intake rocker is damaged. Everyone wants to sell me "roller-tip" rockers. Whats the advantage? I am trying to keep this car as stock as...

    How to get it running

    Dang nam it D. Hearne. You sound like my wife. She says "give me some cash" and I take out the trash. UNVMATT asked how to get to the fuel pick up. At the front-bottom of the tank you will see a circular ring with hoses going in. Remove the hoses. With only a few gallons of fuel you...

    ANY DIFF. IN 289 OR '77 302 HEADS

    My question is the spring rate. I know the 289 has a smaller cc. Would not larger valves and milled heads get better performance?? 1977 :shrug: :shrug:

    ANY DIFF. IN 289 OR '77 302 HEADS

    Yes and no. Need to know spring height, valve diameter, head cc's etc. As I recall 1977 was not a good year.... but in wine.

    stuck valves!!

    A flat lobe on the cam will not open the valve. A flat cam is not related. Why do you believe this when you stated in your previous breathe that the "counter jockey said it ran great" By the way.... I am sending you a check for $5000. I put it in the mail today. This should help you...

    My driver's side door wont open...

    With the door panel off, you should see a rod covered with fabric running horizontally. Grab the rod and move it forward. The door should open. If it does then the rod has disconnected from one or both handles. If not then the clip broke and the rod has disconnected from the latch. You...

    stuck valves!!

    Heads on and valves stuck open................... :eek: First, take the hammer and gently place it in the trash can. Close the lid and walk away. You are going to have to pull the heads. No way around this. The valves are stuck because they are bent. Banging on them will only damage...

    The cure for a unlevel rear end?

    First. What car?? Second. The rear springs sound shot. Third. The front anti-sway bar has nothing to do with this.

    Check your fuel pump pressure. (Check HOT!!) Replace your fuel filter. How close are the headers to the fender well?

    Torque to me !!!

    SD - 14-16 should be fine. Any "grade or class 8" bolt will work for now. However with aluminum to iron I would do the following. Torque to 25. Back off all bolts 2 turns. Re-Torque to 15. Hope this helps.

    Can you say "VAPOR LOCK"??????? Where is your fuel line routed?? Is it a hose, laying on the manifold, or next to heater hoses??

    Help me fix my wiring!!! PLEASE PLEASE

    Put the starter relay back on the fender!!!!! Run the + cable from the battery to the relay. Connect the - to the frame. Then check your ground cable from the back of the right head to the firewall. Replace if necessary. Also I would then add another ground cable from the original engine...

    Help me fix my wiring!!! PLEASE PLEASE

    First guess is that if the car was running well before the move then you wired something wrong. Just curious. What solenoid are you referring to?? Starter relay?? Voltage regulator??
