I would find something more rigid and dead flat and then check for straightness. Those mid-plates tend to warp a bit, at least the couple spares I...

You have the reinforcement ring installed right? If not it will crack the flex plate around the bolt holes. [ATTACH]
The wheels look like Weld Pro Stars. If your wife likes them, then that’s the most important thing. Enjoy the car. I think it looks great.
I’d take it out at the transmission end, so it’s disabled. Plug the hole in the trans of coarse.
The Edsel E-400 was a .040 over bore on a 352 block. Came out to 361 cid. If it were mine I always over bore the minimum, if bores the can cleanup...
[ATTACH] Brother in law had a 1970, which I think is best looking AMX of all the years. Big Bad green 390, 4-speed, very cool car. Identical to...
Shouldn’t be too hard to find a core C6. Be sure to keep the r-code servo, the governor, cast iron tail shaft housing. Looks like a pretty good...
1966 427 AC Cobra. I’ve never seen a real one, but sure would like to drive one! Enjoyed the video.
The Satellite was a couple blocks up the street from when I lived in North Vancouver. Here’s the 70 Hemi Cuda that replaced the Satelllite. [ATTACH]
I regretted passing on a 1960 M100 Mercury short bed, had the wrap around back glass to. It was sold on a bill of sale, which doesn’t work for me.
Pure Carnauba wax has a nice aroma to it.
I have a friend with a 1966 Mustang GT fastback that is the same colour, Emberglo. It is nice.

The large cap Duraspark 2 didn’t arrive until 1977. Cost a bunch of money to convert or track parts to. I’d use either what you have, Duraspark...
A whiff of nitromethane from the pits or in the stands but not dumb enough to walk into yellow cloud when the teams are warming them up.
If I can find a 57-60 f100 ,m100 that’s in half decent shape I’d be down for one. Not exactly that tall of an order is it? [ATTACH]
All I’ve ever used for spark plug changes and the torque has always been just right. [ATTACH]
Some late 70’s big Ford cars used the Holley 4160 carb, they were also used on 352-390-406-427 engines in different configurations also. I’ve...
Only Holley carb that I’m aware of came on 289-302’s were on Shelby’s. All the Ford small block 4bbl were Autolites and were vacuum secondaries.
Canadian tire has Cooper GT radials listed at $800 for a set of four 235 60 r15’s. I didn’t think that was outrageous.
Bought mine years ago when they were in Oregon. Good product at fair price.
77-78.
The easiest way would be to cut the frame off and back half the car if you wanted to fit 14x32 slick. Then use either a 4-link or ladder bar...
