    Holley 4180 Junk Or Workable?

    I bought a Holley 4180 for around 40 bucks thinking it was an early 60s carb. I looked at it and noticed there was a tag on the carb with a 1986 date code. I think I may have screwed myself out of 40 bucks as my research has indicated that standard Holley primary metering plate will not work...

    Shift Kit For Mustangii C4

    I've read and heard that the C4 that came with the 302 had a unique valvebody. Is this true? Seems odd that the MoCo would do that. I'm wanting to install a shift and was curious to what options there are. I know of B&M and TransGo.

    Blown Head Gasket.

    I'm gonna replace my head gaskets but my budget is a little tight, so what would be best for the money. I've seen them as low a fifteen bucks each to forty and much more. Unfortunenatly there's not detail on the different gaskets. Sent from my SGH-T959V using Tapatalk 2

    Single Point Set Up Has Smoother Idle Than Ignitorii

    What gives? I have always thought electronic ignition was better, smoother, more consistent, etc. I had swapped out to a set of points to determine and ignition problem (it wound up being the wire from the switch.) and the car actually seemed to idle better and run smoother at low speed w/ the...

    Ignition switch woes

    I can't get my switch to turn to the ACC position. The key fits and allows me to turn to ignition and start modes but won't let me move it ti the Accessory position. I7m thinking there may be something wrong w/ the lock cylinder. I've spayed WD-40 and jiggled the key every which way. Any...

    Differential lube.

    According to the Ford factory manual limited slip diffs require a specific type of lube. I did the test where you take alcohol and mix it w/ the gear oil from the diff. If it has a blue tint then its the proper oil. if it is gold or brown tint (which is what I have) then it is the wrong...

    Steering column bushing and bearing.

    I replaced my steering column bearing and used the old bushing that seemed to be metal. The replacement bushing is plastic/nylon. Is it supposed to go inside the metal bushing or it replaces the the metal one all together? The reason I ask this is that I have seen plastic/nylon bushing...

    Borgeson steering box, is it the same as the GM box?

    These look like the GM boxes to me. Is it possible to fit a used one from a GM vehicle and just get the hoses and steering column? And a pump bracket as well.

    Got my gasket kit in but what's the sleeve for???

    I opened up the gasket set and noticed it has a metal sleeve in it. It ssems like its supposed to fit over the harmonic balancer in case it has been chewed up. Do I need to tap this sleeve on to ensure a good leak proof seal or is it for a later model application. It seems like i'll have to...

    Tri-Y Vs Hedmann

    I have Tri Ys on the car now, I also have a set of Hedmans(3in collector and bigger primaries) that came off my old Falcon. I was wondering if swapping them out would be worth all the trouble and scraped knuckles for the power i would get. I think the power increase would be minimal as in not...

    How much power does an H pipe really make?

    Its time for a new exhaust. I've heard that they make about 3-5 hp and improve midrange torque. I've also heard they make a big difference. Is this difference really noticeable? Is it worth the extra cost for a street driven car? does it improve fuel economy and if so is it a big difference? I'm...

    Early C-4 problem.

    What I have is a C-4 that has been modified w/ a Transpak and clutches. When I manually shift from low to second it skips right to third. I don't even have time to loop it. (this only happens at full throttle) Is there an adjustment that I can make to keep this from happening? Or will I need to...
