Wrinkle paint FTMFW!Looks like it hits the intake tubing.
I would cut the crossbar, weld it up clean and grind it smooth and then powdercoat the bar and install it like that. I seem to remember Jack Hidley saying that the biggest flex they saw was under hard braking and that's where the bar helped the most. The towers will want to flex foward under braking so that will at least triangulate them to the pinch weld.
No idea how nice it would look though. I admit...i like the appearance of my bar.
Cool,I'm gonna redo my lower intake gaskets on my 347 so that's why I was wondering, I don't feel like taking that bar off again, lol, Aero, your from Tulsa aren't you?Its tight but you wiggle it out from underneath the bar towards the front of the car with the plug wires attached. Just did it Monday evening to pull the upper intake and injectors.
Was it hot? On my 91 if it's hot out my gauge will peg full, once it cools down or I shut the car off for the night in the morning it will be fine again,I'm 90% it's my slosh module acting up,just a hunch.So after some yard work and some other things today, I just took the car for a cruise. My usual no traffic route had me sitting in road work traffic, so that didn’t work out as planned…… but anyway….. now my fuel gauge is pinned full to the right. Before it was slowly moving left as a tank emptied, but not nearly how it should.
I’m wondering if my Rock Auto sender I put in a year or so ago has failed me??
Right now I’ll just keep track on my trip meter til I decide when I wan to drop the tank again! Always something.
Nah……. Mid 60’s at best today, so don’t think it’s the heat.Was it hot? On my 91 if it's hot out my gauge will peg full, once it cools down or I shut the car off for the night in the morning it will be fine again,I'm 90% it's my slosh module acting up,just a hunch.
If your needle pegs all the way to full and it doesn't come down you have lost your float,I went thru 3 sending units, one from Mustangs Unlimited and 2 from LMR and all 3 floats disintegrated, had to drop my tank and clean it really good,bought a Spectra brand from AutoZone 5 years ago and never had that problem again.
The problem I'm having now that I mentioned it's my slosh module I think but once the weather cools down the sending unit works like a charm again,what Ive been doing till I get it fixed is when I first turn on my car I see where I'm at and put fuel in accordingly.
Yeah definitely not what's happening in my case,I hope you get it figured out, I hate problems with fuel gauges, you kinda need to know what you have in that receptacle.Nah……. Mid 60’s at best today, so don’t think it’s the heat.
After the winter it was staying past full, but still coming down slightly. Now it’s just pegged to the right, so I’m pretty sure it’s something with the float. I left it with a full tank, and Stabile added too.
Yeah…… like I said, it’s always something. I just hate when things don’t work right, so I’ll get after it sooner than later!Yeah definitely not what's happening in my case,I hope you get it figured out, I hate problems with fuel gauges, you kinda need to know what you have in that receptacle.
Man that engine bay looks gorgeous, yeah when I put mine on I had to tweak a few things, where it bolts to the pinch weld on the driver's side it's reaaally close to my brake line so I put a little piece of this stuff we use at my work called Fabreka, it's like hardcore rubber just in case that bar was gonna flex and rub against the line, I'm sure just about anything would work.On a positive note, the MM brace is here, and on initial fitment, it looks like I’ll just have to tweak the brake lines a little, maybe adjust the harness under the pinch weld, and it should be good to go.
Exactly this. I've got a buddy who's a great fab guy,gonna have him look at it.Looks like he’s resting on the CAI and still needs to come down a couple inches. That sucks!
As common as aftermarket intakes and air tubes are, I’m surprised MM haven’t come up with a “modified” brace in their lineup.
Looks really nice man,love that red on the intake and the flag motif on the plaque, super cool, I have a Explorer intake on mine and I tried to do a flag once on tht plaque but the colors ran into each other because of the way it's made and it didn't look good.Strut tower brace mounted and secure. I’m liking how it looks with the rest of my engine bay. Fits right in!
Used a split silicone vacuum line behind the left pinch weld mount for the brake line protection. The right side had those “springs” wrapped around in just the right place, so I think they’ll be ok.
Thanks man! That flag on the plaque was one of the first things I painted when I started on this car, and is still my favorite piece!Looks really nice man,love that red on the intake and the flag motif on the plaque, super cool, I have a Explorer intake on mine and I tried to do a flag once on tht plaque but the colors ran into each other because of the way it's made and it didn't look good.
