leak after rebuilding my '73 cleaveland with the TFX, I had to replace both the tail and input seals... my guess it's an input if its coming from the bell-housing. If you're comfortable doing it... its pretty simple to do... just make sure you clean up good and keep it clean going in...

transmission I had very good luck and performance in my '73 cleaveland with the TFX transmission...maybe look for one of those???

the comp 268 is a good choice... how much lift will u run? If I remember correctly I ran an elderbrock 268 with .5 lift in my '73 and it ran great with a nice lope at idle have fun

I did the same thing to a 73. But I would go with a 650 carb... will do better on the top end... and if you can find a good set of 4v heads, do it!!!! You'll be much happier

hey I don't have an answer for ya, but had 80 capri's so would love to see how your build comes out... thanks Dave

I had 74 thru 80's, had that problem a couple times... Ballast resistor. Don't know if an 89 has one tho... anyone???

Ah ha, yes it does. I had the alternator checked, it was ok. When I bought the car the guy I bought it from said he had recently replaced the regulator. I'll try that next. Thanks
