I can tell you from experience, the xk120 cockpit is really cramped unless you are under 5'9" and 150 lbs. The wheel and pedals are too close and...
Starter under the intake? Piece of cake. Try this: [ATTACH]
I would also check to make sure you have good grounds on those lamp housings. LEDs do odd things that incandescent lamps don't because they will...
I used to attend PRI every year before they moved from Orlando to Indy. After that I only went to Indy once. It's industry-only so it's a lot...
Neighbor across the street called this morning. 2023 Acura . Brake lights stuck on. Car won't start. Something called VSA warning is lit on...
Looks nice. I can't tell, is it forged?
Looking forward to seeing it!

1996-2008 was probably the sweet spot for reliable cars. OBD ii EFI but not a ton of other electronics integrated yet. Easy to fix, reliable,...
It's even worse. That EFI is a piece of cake compared to the rest of the car. That's why today's cars are becoming unrepairable. The cost...
Any more progress on this?
I've used zero gap second rings before with really good results, but I've not used the top rings. What do you have in mind for cam specs?
[ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] Work-in-progress, my 1973 MGB GT. 305hp, 2.3 Ford Ecoboost crate motor, Mazda six speed, 7.5" narrowed Mustang rear,...
One of the best sports cars I ever got to drive was an early 240Z with a 327 and a four speed. It felt Cobra-like, but with far better ergonomics.
Thanks. I've used those too and they are very good. I'm just wondering what the pattern of something like a 32 or 34 Ford light looks like with...
Thanks, that's what I'm after. What do those bulb outputs look like behind an original lens and reflector.
Have any of you installed an H4 halogen or led in an early Ford headlight? What did the beam pattern look like?
Good catch! I missed that entirely! Flipping that might make a big difference in airflow.
Maybe that's something to check again. That old motor was so full of crap in the coolant passages, maybe some of that mud has clogged the radiator.
A heater core would provide some additional cooling but I don't think that's the issue here. Even if it were hooked up it won't cool anything...
Get a recovery tank and let it do a couple of heat/cool cycles. That should get any remaining air out of it, too
Ditto. I don't think I would consider a carbed turbo if I wanted the kind of characteristics you describe. If you are set on using a carb,...
I think you're on to something. If you hooked a hose from the intake to the pump that hot water never goes thru the radiator. Between that...
My dad thru away a bunch of my stuff while I was stationed in Germany forty-five years ago. One very low mileage K-code 289, a complete 3.8...
I still think it would be easier to just add an electric pump vs the electric steering assist. If you have a Dakota clip you already have power...
If your clip already has a power steering box or rack the simplest solution would be to use an electric pump from a Toyota, Volvo, Mazda, or...
EPAS would probably work but you'd still have that old box doing the work. I think I'd look at one of Borgeson's PS boxes. You could use an...
I put a 5.0 in a friend's 57 bird but I had to use a rear sump mustang pan to get it to fit low enough over the cross member.
I started this because some things just make no sense to me. Why do you need to redesign the way a wiper blade attaches if the old design was...
How narrow does you front track need to be? An MGB has a bolt-on cross member and rack and pinion steering. The spindles use the same A6-A2...
