    Barrett Jackson Mustang

    I guess I'd just rather have a mustang that looks just as nice, isn't quite exactly original, and cost 1/10th the price. That way you culd have some fun when you drive it, rather than worrying about how much that micro-sized rock chip is going to cost to fix. But that just me, and I've never...

    71-73 wheel help

    I cant seem to find any info about what size wheels/tires will fit on the 71-73's. My grande needs tires soon, and rather than just do the economical thing and shoe on some new 205-70-14's, I want to put on some new wheels and wider tires. Diamiter is easy enough to figure out, but what is...

    Excessive Blowby?

    I dont know about the 302's, but on my 351c its exactly the opposite. The valve is on the drivers side, and the filter on the passenger side. And you may have to adjust your idle circuit a little afterwards.

    Excessive Blowby?

    The smoke you're worried about is comming out your valve covers and not the tailpipe? If so you dont really have a problem. Just need to get you PCV system hooked up correctly.

    Official 'Let's discuss Torque vs HP thread...

    Those kind of anomolies dont happen by accident. It took a 351C with a 2 barrel carb and a single 2 inch exhaust pipe to do that. Your dyno doesnt apear to bein english. At least I dont know what koppel means. Torque is just a type of force. So 400 touque, as it says at the bottom, is...

    And it didnt cost me a cent, just a little time. On saturday I went through every vacuum hose in the engine comaprtment. I found a few that were hooked up incorectly, and a few others that were cracking. Fixed those problems, but the car didnt run any better, In fact it ran worse. But...

    Whats your favorite era?

    At fist I just thought this "pursang" guy was just giving some friendly ribbing, but now I don't think thats so. He's really got some sort of axe to grind, doesnt he? Maybe his father was ran over by a 72? Whatever, a pissing contest doesnt really interest me. SO here goes. Pursang, you're...
