    Door Hinges

    I dont know what year your car is, but its been my experience that aftermarket hinges may not be the best things going, even on the vintage Firebirds & Camaro's. I honestly dont know of any hinges not made offshore. Could you just put bushings in yours?

    Backing Plate For Aftermarket Gauges

    I have seen guys use a flat glovebox door for a gauge panel. It was kinda cool, I cant find it now. I would look at the GT350R dash for inspiration. I did find this...."Racepack" mounted to some sorta smooth dash insert.

    67 Gt Fastback S Code Or Shelby Clone

    At the most I would do a color that I like, maybe even stripes, but no clone. On my 65 I did the Lemans stripe and the racing valance but no badges or labels, its just a mustang with stripes. I figure people raced cars that weren't Shelby's back in the day so why bother trying to fool anybody...

    Sparks Behind Steering Wheel & Headlights Blink While Turning.

    Well, upon inspection the top spring post for the horn is bent at the plastic and the turn signal plastic is broken at the hook. I cannot understand how the plastic that holds the spring post is bent, this really makes little sense. I guess I will knock the roll pins in further on the back of...

    Sparks Behind Steering Wheel & Headlights Blink While Turning.

    Everything in my 65 column is new and I have the Lecarra steering wheel and adapter, last night I noticed that when I turned the wheel the headlights flickered and I also noticed a small spark at the column. I dont like this. My turn signals cancel fine, but once in a while they will cancel and...

    428 Cobra Jet Carb

    Hold on, I am gathering pitchforks and torches. Seriously tho dont let anyone talk you outa that carb if the air horn numbers are for a CJ! Other than that all I could recommend would be a edelbrock carb, good drivability with a simple design (no metering blocks). Summit has them at a decent...

    Welders

    Could you buy things like replacement feed motor, pinch rollers or internal parts for it in 5 years or after a model change? It may just be a Harbor Freight unit with different sheet metal, so look into that closely. I would buy a used miller or Lincoln first because you can get parts for a...

    65 Clutch Pedal Question

    Yes, its gotta come out if the pedal support is cracked. Master cylinder and two bolts/studs that hold the steering column up IIRC. I installed a bearing kit in mine, wow is it nice. The best money is money spent making the drive better!

    Autolite 4100 1.08 Vs 1.12

    The 4100 on my 289 is perfect, but it's the smaller one. It feeds a mild cam with stock heads but my crank is a 302 and I'm .060 over so I'm roughly 310 CID. I set my secondaries to work a bit more mechanically and when I hit it hard it can break traction when they kick in. I love these carbs...

    Looking For New Seat Covers For 65 Fastback

    Im 5'"10 and in the drivers seat my hair hits the headliner and I cant look out the car sideways without staring at the top of the window stainless.... The passenger seat feels entirely different (It feels & sits like it did before I changed anything) because I hogged the listing wire to the...

    Looking For New Seat Covers For 65 Fastback

    If I were doing it again I would have kept my stock foam, my car no longer feels right because i sit too high and its a harder seat than it should be. If the seat does not settle in soon (im counting On a week or two of heat to help some things stretch) I will be searching around for either...

    Kelsey Hayes Disc Vs Pbr With Granda Spindles

    The odd parts bin brake conversion can really be a pain down the road, the center hole for the wheel may need to be a different size, the track widths can change and the type of clearance between the wheel and that caliper can also be an issue. I went with the KH style (4 piston) from CSRP and...

    help with carburetor choice

    So, rather than adjusting the timing to deal with the pre-ignition you have determined to throw more raw fuel at the issue? Run the smaller carb and tune the motor properly. Even a 351 only calls for a 680CFM @ 6700 RPM and much less CFM than that at 5300 RPM! (Do you know what happens at 5252...

    help with carburetor choice

    I haven't ever had good luck with holly in general, I always have great performance from autolite 4100's and edelbrock carbs that use a similar design. If you look on line for a cfm calculator that determines carb size by motor dimensions and rpm you may find that 650 may still be on the big...
