    hurst shifter ID

    I bought a RUG-BJ toploader 4 speed a while ago, that came with a Competition Plus shifter. I know the patent number is not for ID. The other number that I am looking at is 320255G . It came with the trans, that came out of a 72 Mustang. I'm shopping for a pit pack and shifter rebuild kit and...

    Engine Throttle linkage length?

    I have a 68 Cougar, with a 93 5.0 motor that I swapped into it. I have resolved all of the annoying problems that came up with this swap, and have now been able to drive the car under its own power a few times around the block. (Must be mindful of Johnny Law, don't cha know....) Anyway. Instead...

    Timing with converted 5.0

    So, I haven't been on in forever- a LOT has happened since I was a regular poster. Today's ongoing hassle is trying to get my 68 running. I swapped out the 289 that has NO oil pressure now, once it warms up. That will be a separate thread. I installed a 5.0 out of a 93 Cougar. I left the front...

    I know I haven't posted anything in a very long time, sadly life has gotten in the way of almost everything I want to do! Anyway, I am slowly getting back to work on my 69 Cougar. I bought a champion radiator CC338, as it was "supposed" to be a direct fit. Sadly, no. My question is, what...

    Le Mans Bowl Fittings

    I recently acquired a 4118 Holley, that came with the Lemans fuel bowls. However, the previous owner didn't use the correct fuel line. The steel line is the easy part. I would like to find out if there is a common brass solution? Specifically sizes that I can order online? I don't have easy...

    Desk Top Dyno?

    Just killing some time today in NY, waiting impatiently for my upcoming trip back to Colorado to finish the engine in my 69. The engine is a .030 over 351W, with flat top fly cut pistons. I was wondering if anybody either had a used copy of the software to sell for cheap, or, if anybody would...

    What Would A 67 Hi Po Engine

    Compartment look like? Comparing a 65 289 to a 67 289, would they be the same? Air cleaner, 715 carb, etc?

    Inside Of Ignition Switch Pictures?

    )All this on my 67 Cougar XR7) Today, I went and blew some air back through the fuel lines, and discharged what ever had blocked the outlet in my fuel tank. Then in my excitement to start the car, the ignition switch came apart behind the dash, in pieces. I don't know that it "broke"...

    Tilt Wheel Causing No Start?

    I have a no start condition with my 67 Cougar XR7. Not all that different than a similarly equipped Mustang. I removed my complete duraspark ignition, and replaced it with a Pertronix that I had laying around. Still no start. Engine spins freely, like it has no compression. Fuel down the carb...

    Bell Housings For Manual Transmission

    I'm getting ready to rebuild my 351W, and do a T5 transmission swap. I have an early bell, as well as the T5 bell. Is there a material difference between the early bell housings? Do I need to try and find a 351W specific one? On the one hand, I'm pretty sure any V8 car application would work...
