What is the best setting for the timing on a 351C? The book says 6b. A friend of mine who is an old school Ford trained mechanic here in the UK has changed the points and condenser for me as i am a total novice in these things, he has set the timing at 8b. the problem is now is that when i am...

All the way from the not so sunny UK as usual!!

Thanks that will be great if you post a link to your supplier. What is the difference between poly,neoprene and rubber bushes, is it the diffrence in the hardness of the bush?

With out sounding a bit thick, all the pictures i have seen with sheared struts have black bushes, mine are red, so are mine not poly bushes?

Luckily mine are still OK :D but i wanted a few opinions before it got to that stage, whether to go back to the rubber bushes or stick with the poly bushes.

Yes just like that, picture looks familiar

We have a bit of a debate about strut rod bushes, on a forum in the UK. Which are the best, poly or rubber bushes as regards stress on the strut rod, and has any one experienced or know of a strut rod shearing off with poly bushes fitted? Which way should the insulator washers be fitted...

I don't think any one thought of taking the air filter off thinking the problem would be there and as it is a stock filter it covered up all those little sins:lol: Thanks again I now have brakes!!!! Ian

Spot the problem with my brakes Well, as you can see the problem with the brakes wasn't any thing really technical, it just pays to look at the simple things first:rlaugh: One of the previous owners for reasons known only to him self disconnected the crank case vent hose from the carb...

We have done the booster test numerous times and it has proved to be OK. I haven't any idea what booster it is as i just delivered the parts to the mechanic who fitted it. The M/C wasn't fitted to the booster The mechanic told me that the pushrod was none adjustable as it stated in the...

I am fine Jim! I will look into your suggestion when my buddy has some spare time. I bought the SSBC disc conversion as a complete kit including the booster so in theory it should all be compatiable, but stranger things have happened. Take care Ian

Yes i have a power booster fitted and it is working correctly as it was only checked yesterday by a guy who drag races a Mopar and it suggested by him about the M/C bore.

I have SSBC front disc and rear drum power system. The problem is that the brake pedal is very hard and virtually no travel, not even enough to activate the brake lights but i have sorted the brake light problem, the brakes are so bad i have no confidence in the stopping power of them at all...

You are right, i started the engine first of all then i tried it with igntion in the start position and in each case that was the only way i could get it to go past neutral. If you are right in what you are saying this is the first time i have noticed it wont go past neutral in the 4 yrs i have...

70 Mach1 FMX Box -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Eventually got round to making a start on changing the heater matrix, still haven't got it after ordering it 3 weeks ago, some parts out of stock When i came to put in 1st gear( auto box )so...

Thanks again for the help! I try to get mine out as often as the weather permits which tends not be on a regular basis due to the great British summer :rlaugh: The car looks really good, especially in white, something to be proud of.:D Thanks again Ian

Thanks for the reply, There isn't any hesitation or stumbling it just dies in a few seconds. If re jetting or a 4 barrel is still the answer what carb would you recommend? Thanks Ian PS the brake lights are still working after the adjustment you told me to do on the switch.

Any ideas? 70 Mach1, auto, original 2 barrel carb and kept in a garage. On cold days it starts OK, runs on choke OK. The problem is that when i pull off the driveway and drive a few hundred yards up the road the engine dies when i slow down at the road junction and every other time i slow down...
