    Anybody sell a Foose-style kit: 'open' headlights>?

    I sorta like the open look of the Foose headlights, not covered with plastic. It doesn't look like you can buy just the front body kit from Foose or Unique Performance, although you can buy the hood, which reminds me of a Corvette Stinger hood. Does anyone sell a front kit with uncovered...

    Exhaust Q regarding FPA Long tubes--

    Not sure if this belongs here or in the vintage forum, but here goes.. I have FRPP 302 in my 66 'vert and just purchased these FPA long tube headers. The 'elbow' connector tube is ~ 2.5 inches, which is larger than my current H pipe and stock exhaust (although I don;t know the exact size, I...

    Need either a quiet electric fuel pump or manual pump solution

    FRPP 302 crate motor with the wider timing chain. The eccentric would not fit without hitting the timing chain cover. So... I installed a Holley Red electric pump which sounds like a blender crushing ice. I need either a quiet electric pump or some way to use a mechanical pump with the...

    Have I installed the wrong Headers?

    66 Mustang with FRPP 302 crate motor w/GT 40 aluminum heads. We installed Hedman shorty headers, part no: 88400. The bolt pattern is fine, but there seems to be a fair amount of overlap, enough that I think flow may be restriced. The engine dude (more of a body man) told me it was normal, but...

    Anyone using Edelbrock 1791 Quiet Flo pump?

    66 Mustang with FRPP 302 crate motor. I'm using a Holley Red which is LOUD. :bang: It's isolated with a thick rubber bushing, but sounds like a bunch of rats trapped in a mailbox. I'm looking at replacing with either Edelbrock 1791 or Mallory 4110. Anyone have thoughts on either of these or...

    Almost done with Randalls rack install and have a Q re: clearance

    First off, let me tell you that Randall aka Randalls Rack is a class act. I bought his kit some months ago and started the install. I got sidetracked for several reasons, but Randall has responded quickly to every inquiry I've sent his way. Even called me on a Sunday once to check on my...

    Q regarding busted shifter (auto)

    Many of you will recoginize this 1/4 inch metal bit as part of the auto shifter on an early car (66). It seems to be pressed into place and just falls out, leaving the shifter to move freely from park to 1st gear without pressing the button. The PO put on a new shifter before I bought the...

    I am in the middle of installing the Painless wiring kit on my 66 stang, which is giving me some PAIN. On the back of the insrument cluster, there are 8 'posts' for the wiring on 4 different guages. The kit says to put the black/green wires on the 'I' posts and the various other colors on the...

    Q for anyone using Randall's Rack

    I emailed Randall yesterday (Sat.) and I'm sure he'll get back to me soon. In the meantime, I wonder if anyone else has had a similar problem. You need to supply your own inner and outer tie rods. The kit comes with an elbow shaped adapter that fits between 81 Mustang inners and 66 Mustang...

    Question regarding routing brake lines- disc conversion

    I bought and started to install the SS Brakes kit, but the instructions are unclear. There are references to exhibits that don't exist, mis-spelled words, and incoherent sentences. My questions involve routing the brake lines from the master to the proportioning valve and the...

    What's the correct install direction for slotted rotors?

    Here's a couple of pictures from some on-line magazine articles, both linked from SSBC. Here's the left side, notice how the slots are facing... And here's another, on the right side with the slots facing the opposite direction... I've just installed my new SSBC brake kit to match...

    New SSBC brake conversion looks real nice...

    These are not the clearest pics, cause it was awfully dark when I uncrated the parts. The only thing I don't like is the galvanized shields. They are covered with some sort of oily goo (to prevent rust, I suppose), but I will have to paint them. Also came with braided lines. Need more...

    Seeking advice on disc brake conversion--

    I like the idea of a complete kit for a front disc conversion- 66 'vert 351W. I'll have 15" wheels. Can anyone offer advice/opinions about SSBC, Baer or Wildwood? NPD sells the SSBC super duty kit w/ 11" slotted rotors, 4 piston calipers at $1395. The kit looks similar to Baer, but the Baer...

    Where can I find this T-shaped bolt?

    This came from the 8 inch rear on my 66. There are 4 on each side to hold the brake backing plate. One of mine was wrong and I'd like to get another. Any ideas where I could buy one. NPD does not carry them and the other large parts houses don't seem to list small parts like this...
