    Battery Experts! Inside please.

    70 nitrous eater you can leave you battery on the charger if your battery charger is automatic. At the parts store where I work, we sell automatic chargers and they turn on and off as needed.

    moving rad outlet

    Worth is correct, I did what you are doing right now and while it works and keeps the car cool, the bracketry is all screwed up. Also, its real difficult to time the car because the timing pointer is covered by the hose on the new water pump.

    has anyone used a summit racing aluminum radiator?

    I use the summit brand racing radiator thats I believe 25 3/8" wide in my 67 coupe. I bought a bigger one the first time and it was like 2' to wide, so I measurd it and the one thats right around 25 3/8" fit perfect.

    Junkyard rear disc brake conversions???

    Does anyone know of any junyard disc brake conversions for an 8" rear end? Something like the granada swap but for the rear? I know that you can buy kits but I didnt want to spend $600-$800 for rear brakes. If it helps the car is a 67 mustang coupe. Thanks, mike.

    engine swap ideas???

    I agree with police interceptor, if you are going to swap it, atleast make it worth wile. You can take a 460 all the way to 557 with some of the storker kits that are available and being that your car is a 69 you would have enough room. If you were on a budget you could stick with a .030 over...

    what can i have done to my 302 for 1000.00 bucks?

    It all depends on what your goal for the car is. Is it going to be a mild street car? A race car you drive on the street? The biggest improvement you can make is a new set of heads. Tell us what condition the motor is in and what you have already done to it and what your goals are and im sure...

    Cam walking???

    I just bought a new MSD hardened gear and had it isntalled on my distributor, but I cant get the distributor to drop down. The chewed up gear and the distrubutor not dropping down lead me to believe that the cam has walked. What I need to know is why the cam would walk?

    Classic steering problem?

    Superdave, in his first post he said "after a day at the track last year the steering stopped working well." To me that means racing. If you do happen to need parts check out any decent parts store and get parts made by moog.

    Distributor gear looks chewed up???

    gp001, the distributor gear is just like the distributor, a stock ford replacement. I have no idea....to me it looks cast. If I had to make a guess, I would say cast iron but I could be wrong. The gear on my mallory unilite looks to be stronger then the stock ford one. However, I woul rather...

    Classic steering problem?

    I am suprised that no one has asked yet, but what kind of racing were you doing and when did you notice that the steering got bad? Mabey if you can figure out when during the race the steering went bad, you could figure out what caused it. Just my .02.
