Can use the duraspark dist and pickup with an HEI module. If the distributor currently has the large cap, male terminals, with adapter, these can...
Longish post, stick with it to the end to better understand the air injection system. Thermactor is the name of the Ford air injection system....
No. Those rear wheels are '96-00' Mustang V6 wheels. They are 15" and 5x4.5" bolt pattern. 64.5-73 Mustang V8 5x4.5" BP 74-78 MII 4x4.25" BP...
Very carefully, when the wife was at the store.
For thick oily gunky road grime, I am a huge fan of the Dawn Powerwash spray. Restored a Schwinn last year, didn't want to use the usual caustic...
Jim covered the GVOD, I'll touch on GM's two overdrives that would be simplest to install and run. THM 700R4. I've owned bookend 700's an '83...
Out of curiosity, of all these 'bad' mechanical regulators has anyone here diagnosed, or had diagnosed, the failure mode? Bad coil windings? Bad...
[ATTACH] [ATTACH] [IMG] .... sooo good... Yes! Fwiw, the engine will be snappier if you attach flexible dryer ducting to the snorkel and the...
Uprights ball joints and outer tierod balljoint need to sweep in the same congruent arcs in useful suspension travel to minimize bumpsteer. Links...
Quick eye ball, that is a pretty big mismatch. The work needed to make it not scary, probably easier to grab a R&P out of a Cavalier.
Kanter and P-S-T offer suspension/steering components. 'Rare parts' I've always thought of as a broker. Their pricing seems to have an added 1 or...
BINGO! Has an European coupe(non sports car) feel to it. Although I'd leave the rear axle where it was. From this I now just realized the '55...
There was a shortened '55 Chevy rolling around here. It was an ex 4dr, still using the 4dr front doors. I *think* with the roof line the creator...
Beautiful! Are we talking MS or PS? By the time of the '83-88 MCSS(and like GM sport models) PS was standard. This really shouldn't be a scarce...
Glad to see the Delta on the road again. And the restraint from doing all those typical, 'while I'm in there..' budget destroying, timeline...
Well that answers one problem. Optimo whitewalls are probably one of the best looking ~1" whitewalls, very crisp and do not discolor like others,...
Do you have the old shoes to compare the placement for the wheel cylinder link. I've had a vehicle or two where the links have a bit of an angle...
This is a huge talking point when it comes to folks when they want to do Y on X vehicle. Most folks romantize their driving as 3500-6500 'racers'...
TRX was used on the Fox Chassis 79-84 Mustangs, not the MII, and the posted tread pattern is definetly not TRX. Found a set for cheap and...
There are a few differences between 71 Pinto and 74 MII. Pinto was bias ply, by the time of MII the car had radials and a diffeent weight. Ford...
Old German mechanic taught me many moons ago about Simple Green on brake fluid contaminated gunky brake drums. Keep two spray bottles handy, 1:10...
Pretty sure that generation of panel vans only came with a pea shooter. SBC intakes won't do much for a Turbo Thrift, which is probably why he...
Most likely a repaired odo. Primary wheels(mile on odo, tenth on trip) have an additional driven gear. Can't use any of the other wheels as a...
Looking at the tires, your primary issue is underinflation. Those tires are wallowing on the rims. Radials are sensitive to Psi, these tires show...
If you want discs and PS, I wouldn't bother with the S10 components. S10 front end is a narrowed 79-88 A/'G' body frame. Everything is the same...
Was gonna say a pig mat, or any oil absorbent mat on a typical steel oil drip pan. Easy to see and not messy to move or pickup if need be. And...
FWIW, Ford stopped production of the cable ~year ago. And its heaviest clutch to use with would have been the Ford Motorsport/Performance King...
Factory Ford Mustang cable(82-04) is a great cable, 78-81 used a different cable. [IMG] Bottom cable is the Ford unit. Its a low friction low...
Perusing the forums, seems the Eagle Olds 455 crank can use a bit of a cleanup out if the box according to a few users, your machine shop should...
AFAIK, Olds 455 cranks use a 3" main. The fact you are getting .002" clearance is weird with 3.15" mains. I'll dig around. What is the cast...
Separate names with a comma.
