    Harmonic balancer for 331 stroker?

    I'm resealing much of my 331 stroker to fix some leaks and now that the front timing cover, pulleys, and balancer are off I'm wondering if I should buy a better balancer. I'd like to get a SFI rated one, but not sure what specs to get... The engine is a 302 as printed in the lifter valley...

    Passenger taillight issues.

    For some time now my passenger taillight has been dim, perhaps only putting out half the light as the driver's side. I have LED sequential taillights back there. I have a new taillight harness with new lamp pigtails, new lamp buckets, and even a new turn signal switch (replaced twice to make...

    Horn gives weak, short noise?

    Just wondering if anyone has had this issue. I recently noticed that the horn on my 66 gives a weak, very short sound when I push the horn button. It doesn't last more than a second and it's barely audible. I checked the manual and the horn seems to run through the headlight switch...

    Sequential Taillights Question

    I'm in the process of buying a '06 GT this month and had a quick question about the sequential taillight kits on the market. I've found a number of kits and some sequence the brake lights once, when the brake pedal is down. My question: Do any kits not sequence the brake lights? I'd rather not...

    Adjusting mechanical secondaries on Quick Fuel Technology 650cfm

    I have a QFT 650cfm carb with mechanical secondaries. I have some time this weekend to dial it in for my particular car, but can't call their tech line with my question since they are closed for the weekend. So, just wondering the difference between the three secondary linkages they gave me with...

    Polyurethane Spring Perch Bushings -- Is This Right?

    Ok so I've installed the polyurethane spring perch bushings in the front of my 66, and am wondering if I followed the directions closely enough... I pressed the bushings into the sleeve and greased the slider into the bushings. In fact I've driven the car and it feels great (and since I cut the...

    Stereo installed -- w/pix!

    I just got around to installing a stereo in my '66 coupe. I went with a Pioneer, installed under the dash, and used four speakers hidden in the cabin so the install looks pretty clean. I added a write up to my blog w/pix if anyone is interested: Link to blog entry w/pix :flag:

    Engine runs rough when electric fan turns on...

    Ok, I'm stumped. I installed an Old Air electric fan setup last year on my modified '66 and the fan cools great. But when the fan turns on, the idle drops about 200rpm and gets rough. I saw 13.1v at idle with the fan on (and the MSD ignition running), so I bought a 3g alternator thinking...

    Raleigh, NC dyno and tune?

    Anyone in the Raleigh area have knowledge of a local shop that can dyno and tune a 331 with a 4-barrel? Now that the car is together I want to get the new carb sorted out on the dyno. Thanks!

    My last electrical gremlin? One brake light...

    I think all electrical items on my car are working after putting it back together. Except for the passenger brakelight. The passenger tail light works ok (dim though) and the passenger flasher works ok with emergency flashers on. But no brake light. (I haven't checked the regular turn signal on...

    iPod, amp, speakers, and maybe sub... But which amp?

    I've decided to put a small stereo in my car. The stock AM radio works but it's unhooked. But I want to leave it in the dash. So instead I'd like to base a system around an iPod. I want to add an amp, 4 speakers, maybe even a small sub if I find I need it. I figured I'd leave the iPod on the...

    Turn signal indicator on solid...

    I've replaced the engine harness, headlight harness, tailight harness, added a headlight relay harness, new bulbs everywhere, new headlight switch, new parking lights, new halogen headlights, new turn signal switch, and new fuses and flashers too as part of putting my car back together after...

    PA-Performance 3G Install...

    I'm installing the 95amp 3G in my 66 this weekend... I bought the wiring kit to integrate with the stock stuff. Anyone have a blog or writeup that covers this particular alternator from PA-Performance? I'm not too electrical if you know what I mean, don't want to burn the car to the ground... My...

    Pulley bolt torque spec?

    I'm reinstalling my factory 2-groove pulley on the crank and 3-groove on the water pump. Anyone have the torque spec for these handy? Do they require thread locker or lock washers? The crank pulley did not have lock washers when I removed it (but the water pump pulley did) which surprised me. I...

    Need Single-Groove Billet Crank Pulley...

    I officially give up on the March underdrive crank pulley -- seems to be too small for my application and the charging system doesn't charge enough until 3000rpms... I've been through two batteries, two alternators, and on my third voltage regulator. But I do like the water pump and alternator...

    Courtesy and Glovebox Light Wiring?

    I was replacing the flasher near the glovebox under the dash of my 66 and the courtesy and glovebox lights just turned off. I must have disrupted a wire or something. Can someone point me to a possible culprit? (The wiring appears all stock and original under there so the wire colors should be...

    Shifter rocks side-to-side under hard acceleration...

    So I'm putting a few miles on my reassembled stroked '66 with a newer T5 and I'm noticing that the shifter rocks side-to-side under hard acceleration particularly in second gear. Not particularly confidence-inspiring as I'm flying down the road. The transmission mounts seem intact. The motor...

    Water temperatrure range - stock gauge

    Does anyone know the range of the stock water temp gauge in a 66? I have the electric fan set to hold the red gauge needle straight up, but what temp is that? Thanks!

    How-to vent window top seal replacement?

    I bought a couple vent window top seals with the shiny silver brads. Drilling out the old one is easy enough. Does everyone buy a brad gun or do something else here to install the new one? I figure we can use a urethane to glue the small pieces together but that seems like a last resort... To...
