    Anybody sell a Foose-style kit: 'open' headlights>?

    I sorta like the open look of the Foose headlights, not covered with plastic. It doesn't look like you can buy just the front body kit from Foose or Unique Performance, although you can buy the hood, which reminds me of a Corvette Stinger hood. Does anyone sell a front kit with uncovered...

    Exhaust Q regarding FPA Long tubes--

    Not sure if this belongs here or in the vintage forum, but here goes.. I have FRPP 302 in my 66 'vert and just purchased these FPA long tube headers. The 'elbow' connector tube is ~ 2.5 inches, which is larger than my current H pipe and stock exhaust (although I don;t know the exact size, I...

    Need either a quiet electric fuel pump or manual pump solution

    FRPP 302 crate motor with the wider timing chain. The eccentric would not fit without hitting the timing chain cover. So... I installed a Holley Red electric pump which sounds like a blender crushing ice. I need either a quiet electric pump or some way to use a mechanical pump with the...

    Have I installed the wrong Headers?

    The correct answer Here's the correct answer right from Hedman tech: Thank you for using Hedman Products. Part# 88400 is designed for a stock application. These hedders will choke the motor. So they will come off. I'll measure the clearance this weekend to see if the FMS hedders will fit...

    Have I installed the wrong Headers?

    Now that's a great question. As I recall, the overlap was on the sides. If anyone else is using the crate motor with GT40 heads, which shorty headers are you using? Thanks jim

    Have I installed the wrong Headers?

    More info.... A bit of clarification: The bolt pattern is perfect but the header flange holes do not match the ports. They are roughly the same size, but offset somewhat, perhaps 1/3 of each port is covered by the flange. Can I get some confirmation on an additional issue? Will the...

    Have I installed the wrong Headers?

    66 Mustang with FRPP 302 crate motor w/GT 40 aluminum heads. We installed Hedman shorty headers, part no: 88400. The bolt pattern is fine, but there seems to be a fair amount of overlap, enough that I think flow may be restriced. The engine dude (more of a body man) told me it was normal, but...

    Anyone using Edelbrock 1791 Quiet Flo pump?

    66 Mustang with FRPP 302 crate motor. I'm using a Holley Red which is LOUD. :bang: It's isolated with a thick rubber bushing, but sounds like a bunch of rats trapped in a mailbox. I'm looking at replacing with either Edelbrock 1791 or Mallory 4110. Anyone have thoughts on either of these or...

    Randalls Rack contact phone number?????

    Once I reached him, he gave me his cell number, but I'm not gonna post it. I have not needed to reach him in a couple of months, but he always responded to me quickly via email. As others have said, he is a class act and called ME on a Sunday once to check progress on the install. Weather...

    what to look for in a '66

    66 That's a pretty wide open question, but I'll try to help. Where are you located? If you and the car grew up in the rust belt, you need to be much more concerned about rust than the condition of the engine. You could re-build the engine several times and spend less than you would on rust...

    pinholes in floor

    JB weld I used JB weld on one small pinhole about this size o. It worked and looks like a lasting fix. The car will never see water again, so it's not that big of a deal. I'll bet the old guy on Boyd's show would have used something else though. :rlaugh: jim-

    Almost done with Randalls rack install and have a Q re: clearance

    to answer an earlier post.... Yes it was basically a bolt-in. The only issues I had to deal with were cutting the steering shaft to length and buying/cutting the tie rods. Thankfully, I have a buddy with access to a machine shop. The steering shaft mod is not a garage-type fix. It's got to...

    Almost done with Randalls rack install and have a Q re: clearance

    Randall The kit looks fantastic and I'm amazed that Randall has not returned your e-mails. He has been very responsive to me. I'd give it another try. He's at SEMA this weekend, so maybe try Monday. This is a really high quality heavy duty unit. Here's another pic... jim-

    Replacement wiring harness - any suggestions?

    Painless I am in the middle of a Painless wiring install and can confirm that it has given me quite a bit of Pain. I have not been able to call their tech line, because they are open while I'm at work. Part of this kit could be installed by a small child and other parts would require an...

    Almost done with Randalls rack install and have a Q re: clearance

    First off, let me tell you that Randall aka Randalls Rack is a class act. I bought his kit some months ago and started the install. I got sidetracked for several reasons, but Randall has responded quickly to every inquiry I've sent his way. Even called me on a Sunday once to check on my...

    Q regarding busted shifter (auto)

    Many of you will recoginize this 1/4 inch metal bit as part of the auto shifter on an early car (66). It seems to be pressed into place and just falls out, leaving the shifter to move freely from park to 1st gear without pressing the button. The PO put on a new shifter before I bought the...
