    radio

    CSA I bought one of these for my Dad's 67 coupe a few years back. He had so many problems with it. I hope the best for you and the radio works out. Unfortunately with their track record, $50 is not the greatest bargain for a non-working radio. Good luck.

    NEED HELP! Might have broken something! LONG POST

    I don't think so. The rotor was not turning. After the loud pop, I had no acceleration at all. The car did not even move. When I tried to start it, it just kept turning with no start. Did not even act like it wanted to start.

    Suprises under the valve covers - 4v windsor heads?? (links to pics)

    I had a set of the 68 302 4V heads. Ford had them listed as 53.5cc chambers, smaller than the 289 chambers. Good set of heads to have!

I have been concerned that I forgot the shaft and...

    I'm so jealous!! My girlfriend's car will be faster than mine! Check this combo!

    For that amount you can buy a set of 66 289 Powerheads for $895, ported with oversized valves. The AFRs would blow both away but just depends on how long you wnat to wait.

    Subframe Connectors and Frame Alignment

    Out of respect, I did not want to highjack the subframe connector thread. I do have a question about alignment. When my Dad did the work on the Mustang, he did some frame welding with the car on jackstands, not with the weight on the tires. He seems to think that the ass end is sagging about...
