Ok I have been building and gathering parts for my car for the last year, but it was parked for a year before that. It was cover under a carport for that whole time. Well I never thought I would leave it there that long..... Here comes my problem....:shrug:

1. It sat and now i got some mold in the interior like on the back seats and such. What would be the best way to get rid of that mold problem I put some Arm and Hammer on it but I doubt thats gonna make it better now....

2. I bought a Griggs Tubular K-member(:bang: BTW I now know what they mean by no mounts thats gonna be another couple hundred bucks:bang: ) I am going coil over up front also.... but since the car sat so long the brakes are rusted. Now do you think I should get new COBRA 13" or save a little dough and run what I got for now and see if the calipers leak. Also the back is rusted. What would be the best way to check this....And where is the cheapest place to buy that COBRA set up....?

3.Also Radiators I was thinking of the Summit RAD does someone have it that has been running it a while I want to save teh cash...(the wife is a little:mad: )

4.Also I have sold my Powerdyne so now I still have the 42 inj. would these be Ok to run on my NA 347. I also have a set of aluminum fuel rails that I might install or will the stock one suffice rather than have to buy another regulator and new fuel lines. Also I have a t-Rex pump but its not in yet I was gonna drop the tank and install a 255 in tank to replace my 190..Should I install the 255 and the in line or just the 255 or leave the 190 and the inline or just leave the 190....?

5. Also the days of nitrous have gone for good I think....

1. search on google for a mold solution. they use them on drywall...might want to call an upholstery shop to confirm.

2. buyfordracing.com is the cheapest place to get the cobra setup. I would do it and say bye to your old brakes

3. I believe someone did indeed put a summit rad into our car. a little bit of fabrication required but not much if I recall. do a search in our section

4. not sure on this one. for the injectors, I would say you can run them, with a tune. I'll let other adress the fuel pump question

5. bummer.
 
hmm...i was looking into getting a grigs k-member, but now i see what you mean...looks like MM for me instead.

as far as the injectors, whats your compression going to be? the stock fuel rails can handle the 42#s. i would switch out the pump and inline to the 255. better to have more fuel than not enough. otherwise i agree with therian
 
No dont get me wrong there is nothing wrong with the Griggs piece...And they have good customer service this was an Ebay purchase gone wrong.

My compression is 9.5 to 1.....
 
Ditch the 190 pump, just go with the 255, the 42 # injectors are a little big but you can get them tuned in, the stock fuel rails will work just fine, as for the mold there is a mold inhibitor that sprays on, just have the interior shampoo'd then spray the inhibitor on it, it also serves as a staingard, and comes in different fragrances. Kinda like fabreeze accept it works really well.
Off topic a bit but Adam I have my zex kit for sale, also have a brand new purge to go with it pm me for details.
 
Honestly, I would fork over the $100-150 to take the car to a professional detailer. They have machines and such that can remove mold. Now, I don't mean the usual junky town "detailers", but a real one.

If you want, PM me your area and I will find you a good one.
 
1. i have absolutely no clue.

2. johnbleakleyford.com is where i got mine, and i would say go for it. it is a night and day difference from the stock stuff. the cobra brakes are affordable, a direct bolt on, and make the car stop the way it should have from the factory.

3. i would go straight for the fluidyne. just the fact that it drops right in with no modification was enough to sell me on it a few years back.

4. the 42's will be fine with the correct tune. i ran 42's in my n/a 302 for a while with no issue after the blower came out the first time while i was shopping for a good price on 30's. if the fuel tables are right, you will have no driveability issues. as far as the fuel pump goes, just put the 255 in and be done with it. after you go for a ride in mine and decide the n/a route isnt giving you enough power, you will be searching for another blower and the 255 will be necessary again. ;)
