    Popular Mechanics' Project '68 Fastback

    The car was at the SEMA show. Very clean car. I'm not too sure on the tire width selection. In the front, they're too wide. Here's a picture:

    351W valve lash help

    The "spin the pushrod until it stops" method is poor and subjective at best. I tried it and adjusted it to the point that the valves were always open, however, I could still easily spin the pushrod. Other methods are take up the lash and turn the nut 3/4's of a turn. I've had good success...

    Pics of my new gauges

    Did you have to convert your car to right hand drive or did you purchase it already converted? Looks very cool.

    Car Chemistry Power R&P

    I believe that this is the rack that Sixto Bernal has been working on. You can read about it in the TCP power R&P now only 2500 thread. Read post #175 for the info.

    They're back online. It seems that the bandwidth doubled in the month of December. Guess they're becoming a little more popular.

    It didn't. There's a thread over on the Corral talking about it. Don't know if linking to other forums is a no-no, but it's not hard to find the thread if you go over there. Basically, sounds like a bandwidth issue. We should know Jan. 1.

    Oh come on now Henry. You know what it's like over there. No crow will be eaten. Unlike StangNet, they have no sponsors. Just a few guys flipping the bill. I doubt it will go away as it's a tight bunch. If money were an issue, getting people to chip in to support the sight wouldn't be...

    Intake Question, 347?????

    Ask 2bav8 about his 347. I believe he has a Victor Jr. and drives his car on the street enough to give a good opinion on how streetable it is.

    Weber carbs/fuel injection

    When I was at the SEMA show, one of the Weber reps told me that they would soon be making new intakes for 289/302 & 351W's. Their fuel injection setup looked interesting, but I want to see it on a running car before I drop that kind of cash. With individual throttle bodies & runners, you can't...

    ebay fastfoward

    I'm curious why people say you can't drive this car? Because it looks so good? Troy, like Chip Foose, George Barris, Boyd Coddington and the other custom guys build cars to be driven, not to be permanent displays. If the owner wants to put it in a bubble, so be it, but there are plenty of...

    ebay fastfoward

    I don't think it really looks like eleanor. The car is painted Smoke Silver, which does look simlar to eleanore in the photos, but in person it is definitely different. There was an eleanor clone at SEMA not too far away from the Ebay booth where the Fastforward car was displayed. The...

    pass tire speed rating

    I couldn't tell you. That's a question for a tire engineer. As with everything else, heat is a tires enemy. I would ASSuME that different ambient temperatures would have an affect on tire reliability. Unless you're driving in the same conditions as in the testing process, the maximum rating...

    pass tire speed rating

    This is not quite accurate. Not to pick on you, but check out this link to Car & Driver for a good explanation on tire speed rating. From the link: It's a good read.

    Randalls rack

    daveoxide, I checked out your site and see that you are using a Taurus R&P unit. Very cool setup. A couple things about your responses. Bumpsteer. The difference between the Taurus unit and Randall's is that the Taurus is an end take-off whereas the Randall unit is a center take-off...

    How to put the entire car on jackstands?

    I agree with gp001. You should be able to fit a jack under your rear end with the front up on stands. It all depends on how high you want the car. You may have to set the jack stands on their lowest setting on the front at first to lift the rear, but then you can raise them incrementally once...

    TCP power R&P now only 2500

    Glad to see you haven't forgotten about StangNet. I was waiting for you to post, as I subscribe to a couple of the same lists as you do and I already heard about the update. Keep up the great work. :nice:

    TCP power R&P now only 2500

    Not to rain on the parade, but I question how his bumpsteer and turning radius will be. Looks like the rack he's using has end take offs, as opposed to the center takeoff that early model Mustangs and TCP uses. This will definitely have an affect on bumpsteer. Also, with the end take offs...

    I contacted Mustangs Unlimited and this was their response: "Sir, Total Control was bought out,by Mustang Depot.They are the only supplier,and the price is $2495.00,and it is presently out of stock. If you have any questions,please e-mail or call us at 1-800-243-7278. Thank You...

    TCP power R&P now only 2500

    "I strip away the old debris, that hides the shining car. A brilliant red Barchetta, from a better vanished time..." One of the greatest driving songs ever. One that will definitely be playing at high volume while I'm canyon carving in my '68 coupe equipped with our future R&P setup. Who am...
