Thanks -- I will snatch that collar off the fairlane
yup - I just finished changing two C-4s from column to floor shift. But this AOD is so damn big they had to hammer the tunnel to fit it -- and...
Does anybody know if a shift collar from a 1963 Fairlane will fit a 1961 Falcon ? My Sister bought herself a cute 1961 Ranchero with a 289 and...
I did swap the selector shaft because the one that was on the transmission in the car had a 2 inch deep zig zag in the lever and when flipped over...
Mechanical brakes with rods work better - they don't stretch, they still feel weird compared to hydraulic brakes but not as weird as it feels...
looks like fun - I used the stock 29 tank on mine which left me space in the back for a trunk. I got a 30 chassis in Arizona City AZ and a 29...
The selector fits into the part that works the innards of the transmission in two positions -- up and down with a 7/8 wrench sized nut -- and the...
I'm building a 37 Ford coupe with a 331 stroker and C-4. I had the transmission build by a local shop and installed it -- only to find out...
Right -- I'll be installing a used stock 302 cam with stock timing gears to calm down the beast so my sister can drive the thing. so I won't...
Thanks -- I thought that might be the case but wanted to make sure I didn't have to pull the whole front support or something. I'll be dragging...
Can you swap the cam in a small block powered early Falcon without pulling the engine ? I'm in Colorado, my sister just bought a 61 Ranchero...
Thanks everybody -- I was just concerned it was too easy to bend and therefore might be too easy to split under pressure. I've always heard...
Doing brake lines and a transmission vacuum modulator line too -- when I asked for 40 inches of steel line to do the vacuum modulator they said...
Yes -- That helps -- Thanks !
When I hook the spring up to the obvious location it pulls the vent open -- not closed. up inside the cowl vent all the way at the top there is a...
I ended up mounting the latch a little bit higher in the door -- there was enough wiggle in the shaft of the door handle to go up just a little...
My 37 coupe came without a door lock cylinder - so I don't have an old one to reference. The reproduction one I ordered has the square shaft...
If the Hi-Po exhaust manifolds are better than "most 302" manifolds then they are probably better than the 72 302 2 barrel exhaust manifolds I...
The amount of room available would dictate making headers that almost look like the same shape as stock manifolds, like one long runner from the...
I'm building a 37 Ford coupe with a 302 and C-4. Dad had the car mocked up with an exhaust system using stock exhaust manifolds and a 302....
oh yeah -- and with a normal fuel pump the steel line is under suction which lowers the point where fuel would turn to vapor. I totally get...
Teapots whistle when heated right .... heat is definitely the problem, not a lack of venting because the car runs normal when the ambient temp...
fuel tanks do get hot !! Perculating gas tank is the problem I've had with the Mustang - and am trying to prevent with the 37. Today's...
I'm building a 37 Ford and purchased a new fuel tank for it. I want to prevent the kind of issues I'm having with my 66 Mustang with today's...
I used to find shocks like that when I worked in a parts store in the 80's but I think I remember the guide being arranged by length instead of...
My A speedster has very little travel in the front and I think none in the rear - rides like a go-cart - it still has lever action shocks....
The bottom mount is as down as its gonna get. There has to be a shock that is between those two - Something that when collapsed is 8 1/2 - 8...
Trying my best to leave as much of Dad's original work intact as I can, so I'm going to try to leave those shock mounts as is.
the lower mount is a bolt thru the axle like a 48 Ford
