    Bedlining underside, anyone done this?

    And I thought scraping the original undercoating was bad. Wait till some rust repairs need done under there with bedliner sprayed on. Its not for me. I would consider rolling the underside of the front fenders with bedliner since modern performance tires throw big enough rocks to cause...

    Slip Yoke For T5?

    i agree that it will fit. I still bought a new spicer yolk to avoid leaks because the 40yr old seal surface was showing wear and a new one wasnt that much cash. Plus the spicer is stronger than the oem for high horsepower apps. and I would rather not have the front of the shaft drop out in...

    Anybody ever do something stupid and know it was a risk?

    With as many changes as that thing lived thru you must have subliminally been looking into another color change. Bummer, at least its not the drivers side, you would see that every time you used it.

    Change rear gear ratio when converting to AOD

    I went 380's and like them very much. This conversion wasn't cheap and I wanted a good snap for the bucks spent. Most of the 5.0 foxes were going with 373's for the 5 spds and 411's in the autos. The highway cruize speeds are ~70mph even if 55 is posted round here and im still under...

    Spray dying seat color change

    Cheap new interior is only for the 1st gen stangs, look up some later model parts and cheap goes away very quickly. I am curious as to how the stuff holds up myself since there is a roach of a firebird in my driveway that will be a budjet built daily driver soon that needs some panels dyed to...

    console light wiring 64-66

    Console Door Spring Tech - CJ Pony Parts, Inc. CJ shows the wiring for the ground and the hot for the console light socket routed through the holes that screw the console to the floor bracket for the front of the console. That does not seem right to me sharing a mounting hole with hot and...

    Exhaust suggestions

    3" will give a much deeper tone and will grab some attention. It will be noisy whatever muffler you use, not bad, just loud. I like the regular mufflers over the chambered ones. I suggest using any type of crossover X or H.

    Where to buy 1/2" fuel sending unit for stock tank?

    I know its out there, saw it months ago but didn't save the site and my history is long gone. They had an option for 8AN fitting or barbed tube end. They had them for fords and mopar. My "quiet" edlebrock pump screams for mercy trying to pull fuel thru the repop stock pickup tube. Remember...

    I Got The Thing Apart!

    Make sure you replace your pilot bearing in the end of the crank. Find a rod or bolt that is close to the id of the bearing (ground threads off a bolt last time I did it) then fill the hole with grease and tap the rod in to hydraulic the bearing out. Many overlook this on clutch replacement...

    289 timing cover vs 5.0 timing cover

    I had issues with pulley depths when I pieced mine together with an edlebrock waterpump. I am running the early cover on a roller block, added a pointer, use FMS underdrive crank & alt pulley but the waterpump one was a different depth (no PS on mine). I ended up with a 76 granada waterpump...

    shock absorber selection

    I need to call BS on the "adjust Koni as they wear". Nothing in my paperwork says that. You get stiffer for every 180deg turn when fully compressed up to 720deg. My car needed tuned to stiffen up the shocks so it wouldn't float down the road like a caddy with bad struts when i figured the...

    shock absorber selection

    2+2gt I am curious if you adjusted the konis before throwing in the towel on them. I run them with the 4.5 mid eyes and the 620 1" drop front coils in PA and love them, they needed dialed in though.

    Bear brake experiences

    I am running the manual 13"/pbr (track) Baer system with stock drums out back, works great. A Friend runs the power 11" setup on his 67 firebird after he was unhappy with the SSBC setup. He likes it as well. All installed very easily and are holding up very well. I wouldn't mind a...

    Went to the strip today...Good & Bad news

    My driveshaft guy told me to stay away from the aluminum shafts and go for 3.5" moly. I trusted him and ditched the areostar shaft cut to the right size idea. No problems since.
