A buddy shot some photos of my car over the weekend and I was surprised how good he made it look. He’s pretty darn good for an armature. The original pictures are 2-3 MB each and came out absolutely stunning. Just thought I would share a couple.

Anyone have a recommendation for a reasonably priced place to get plates restored with a quick turn around? Preferably on the west coast.

Does anyone have first hand experience with the TCP center section sub frame connector? Can you compare on/off conditions? Does it add any torsional rigidity? I’m getting ready to remove my GW sub frames and go custom. Local fabricator wants to do something like the TCP center, but I’m not...

Anyone know what a typical temperature split across a radiator is? Yesterday in 90* weather my car was running hot. Idling in my driveway, I checked in/out temps and got 225/175. This morning in 60* weather, I had 190/145 when I got to work. Both times ~50*. The cooling system is 3 row...

My uncle gave me a used holley 670 SA because my current carb is a little small for the application. I was checking it out before I installed it and noticed the transfer slots are different lengths, both primary and secondary sides. With the carb upside down if you set the butterflys so the t/s...

I washed my car today and some how managed to get water into a Mallory HyFire 6A with the hood closed. Now the car won't start :mad: So I opened the unit and blew it out with compressed air. A little water did come out. It still won't start. Is this thing cooked or do you think it may start...

Anyone have any experience with these on a power steering car? I'm getting into my steering next month so that would be the time to swap out the idler, but I'm not sure if there is a benefit with power steering.

For the life of me I can't remember what kind of ATF to use in a T5. I bought some Mercon V, but now I'm not sure. What's the "approved" fluid? Thanks.

I'm thinking of going from 15" to 16" Magnum's (I have a bent 15') but can't find a decent photo of them on a car. Anyone want to share?

I just tried to bolt up my P/S pump onto some aluminum heads and it doeasn't fit. The long bolt that goes through the braket and pump is 3/8" dia. The hole in the head is 7/16". I think I need the threaded insert that's used with a thermactor smog pump. Does anyone know what that part is called...

This is totally stupid, but I can't source a stock (non-chrome) dipstick tube for a 68 289. Local parts stores don't carry them, mustang parts houses don't carry them and I couldn't even find one on Ebay... Local Ford dealer wanted $35 for a pilot bearing so I figure they'll want at least $100...

Maier Racing sells Bilsteins that LOOK like they are for a different application but fit early mustangs. Curious if anyone has tried them. I had Bilsteins on a 94 Mustang, and they were fantastic!

I've never really heard what it is. Just muffler X drones more than muffler Y. How does pipe size, loading, compression, cam or anything else come into play and why is it always around 2,000 rpms?

I want to cut my front springs a little but can't remember the average amount per spring. I'm thinking 1/4 coil = 1" on a 620lbs spring.. or is it 1/2 coil?

Yesterday the stock charging system quit working. Admittedly the previous owner hacked the wiring harness, but it was working. I have all new under hood harnesses ready to go when I pull the motor in a month or so. Anyway, the local parts store says the alternator is good. I swapped out the...

Hey Folks, I have a question on oil pressure guages. When I start my car the pressure goes to about mid guage, but will never change. Idle or 3000 rpm's. I've had TWO different new sending units on it and it does the same thing. If the guage was pooched I don't think it would go half way and...

I just installed in a Crane electronic ignition with a duraspark distributor. Set it up with light springs. Initial timing is 12 deg, initial + mechanical is 41 deg at 3,000 rpms. It fired up and runs great in the garage. Tried to drive it and it fell on it's face and backfired out the...

What were the stock and GT/GT350 coil springs rated at in 68? I'm thinking of going to a lighter spring and roller perches. Maaaybe progressive springs, but I don't like the idea of the transition point moving when I use aluminum heads.

I'm doing a T5 conversion on a 68 and things aren't looking right for the clutch fork position. With the trans out, the clutch fork is 3/4 of the way forward before the T/O bearing touches the pressure plate. I'm using used parts and wondering if I have a 94/5 bellhousing when I should have a 93...

Anyone know the internal difference between offset/center and offset/offset turbo mufflers? Pics would be great. I’m guessing offset/offset would be quieter. I’m looking at Dynomax Super Turbos. Trying to avoid the drone and keep it quiet, with little back pressure. Any reason not to use...
