    67 disk brake swap

    You would plumb it in from the rear bowl of the MC (goes to the front brakes), but before the distribution block. Easy easy!

    67 disk brake swap

    ok, I did this with 70 parts. Dont know if you are using power brakes as part of this. I didnt. I used a (I think) 74 maverick MC. Ask for one that is from a car with front disk, rear drum, non power. It will have the right push and travel. You will need some adapters or custom lines to...

    Pics of Quarter Flares with 285/40/17 tires

    You know what, I clicked on this thread to see just how bad it looked (images of 70s flares running through my head). In the first couple of images I was very doubtful, but as I went down the pictures I became more and more impressed. Not thinkin that I would do it to my car, but it looks...

    How to make a BOSS'ish 302?

    Your overall money is better spent in a modern overdrive manual transmission swap. With what you are describing your goals, that would better meet them than completely overhauling a motor AND would get you gas milage and cruising ability too.....just my couple of cents

    Front bumper cover / air dam for 68 shelby

    why are yall raggin. He asked a real question and made what he could to describe it better. I probably could not do much better myself. I dont know much, but as far as I know the only way to get that look is to convert over your frontend to shelby stuff. Only problem is that you need a...

    Are 67 motor mounts adjustable?

    If you are having fitment problems, return the crappy aftermarket ones and go to your local ford dealer. They are expensive as hell, but they fit the first time. Money well spent I promise.

    Fenders

    I think you can buy headlight buckets for fairly decent prices if you keep an eye out. The buckets are "pot" metal and dont have rust problems like the rest of our cars. Just something to think about.

    Why I hate coil spring compressors...

    I use the inside kind, but with them upside down and a plate where the top of the spring tower is. It then "pulls" the spring up into the tower with plenty of room to work and use the compressor. Remove the upper control arm and then let it back out to remove the spring. If you need a better...

    friends dont let friends purge nitrous!!!!!!!!!

    There are some paints you can do that to with better or worse results. Luckily, you can isolate that area fairly easily.

    Are the tapered inserts in the Mast. Cyl ports replaceable?

    I think its a whole mastercylinder thing. Most places like discount auto/autozone etc give lifetime warrenties and they are only like $20 (its been a few years since I bought one so this may be off a few dollars)

    friends dont let friends purge nitrous!!!!!!!!!

    yep, sucks, but the only way to fix that is to strip it to metal and then repaint. No easy fix other than a big blob of tar.

    RPM 80

    well then go with a dwell meter. Heck, I dont bother with tuning my idle to an rpm, I tune it to actually idle and rock the car around at the same time!

    RPM 80

    ok, lets start over....what are you trying to do?

    RPM 80

    you can do the same thing as that with a dwell meter.

    RPM 80

    hehe, I put one of those in my 67 in the clock blank around 1990. I have only had 1-2 people through the years ever notice it and recognize it should not be there....of course with the 70 you cannot use that cheat!

    RPM 80

    just get a cheap tach, you can get em for next to nothing. Wiring it in is as easy as hooking up a couple of wires and routing them to the place you want to put the tach. I had mine getto run for a while by sticking it in the far left of the dash and held in place with a rag. I have never...
