    428 Cobra Jet Carb

    Thank you for all the info! I've been away from my computer for a few days. The reason I'm looking for a 2nd carb is that I haven't found anyone that can rebuild the stock carb so that it will run properly. I'm planning to sell the car in the next few months and figured that at least it would be...

    428 Cobra Jet Carb

    Any suggestions on a Holley carb to replace the stock Holley on my 428 Cobra Jet engine. I was thinking about going to 650 cfm with mechanical secondary. Something strictly for the street. Thanks

    Accel ignition swap

    Thanks for the info. In the instructions it also states that I need 3-4 ohms resistance in my coil. My current one has only 1.5. If I change to a blaster III will that work without adding any external resistor?

    Accel ignition swap

    I'm about to swap from points to an Accel XRi setup. As usual my stuff has a twist or two. My 302 has an Edelbrock coil which has a white plastic connector that attaches the wires to the coil. Also, there is currently only one wire coming from distributor. It is spliced into another wire running...

    convertible top

    I have '70 Convertible with a white top that has stains all over it. I've tried every convertible top cleaner and none have worked. Is there another cleaner that someone has used that works or is there an effective way to re-dye the top. I really don't want to replace the top. Thanks for any help!

    engine knock after oil change

    I'm not the best "explainer" as my wife says. The rocker that is apparently opening the valve. Does this help?

    engine knock after oil change

    knock gone as mysteriously as it came, the knock is gone but I do have some lifter noise that need to be addressed. The heads are stock and I am assuming it has solid lifters. Is there any way I can be sure without pulling heads? One of my mechanic buddies thinks they are solid because all of...

    engine knock after oil change

    I changed the oil in my 67 coupe on Saturday and I now have a knock in the engine. I've had the car for several years and the engine has been bullet-proof. I put in Valvoline 10W-30 with a bottle of ZDDP. This is the first time I've added the ZDDP. Could this be my problem. The engine is a 302...

    70 convertible back seat

    I know it's simple but I can't remember how to remove the rear seat back from my 70 convertible. I have removed the bolts from the bottom but can't remember how to undo the top of the seat back.

    flush cooling system- now overheating

    I will check with infrared thermometer. It's definitely boiling in radiator but I'm not how hot the engine is. What is the best way to get any air out and is there a way to know if all of the air is out of the system?

    flush cooling system- now overheating

    Yes, the lower connection is on the same side now. Yes, I am running anti-freeze now and the water level is about 1 inch below the filler neck. The gauge at idle will move to about halfway after about 5 minutes but moves 3/4 to the right after running, whether on highway or in town for 10...

    flush cooling system- now overheating

    the outlets on the radiator are 1-1/2 on top and 1-3/4 on bottom just like a V8 radiator. It does look like there is a metal sleeve in the upper connector like a gano filter but without any kind of screen. Maybe the old screen is what's clogging things.

    flush cooling system- now overheating

    ? water pump so if I keep the 6 cyl radiator with the LH lower outlet, and I want to replace the water pump, any suggestions on where to get a pump. All of the 289/302 water pumps are RH inlet.

    flush cooling system- now overheating

    I have used a cleaner. I did realize something that is interesting when I pulled the radiator. I believe my car has a 6 cyl radiator because it has LH lower/RH upper connections and the 289 radiators I have found in the NPD catalog are all RH upper and lower. My water pump is also a LH outlet...

    flush cooling system- now overheating

    I believe I got all of the air out. I pulled the upper hose and the water at thermostat housing is still very brown. I do think I will pull the radiator and have it reworked. I have no idea how old it is. I also noticed that the lower hose has no wire in it so I am thinking hoses replaced...
