    over heating mustang, who knows SBFORDS

    You originally said that your engine ran fine at idle and heated up at higher rpm. That means that your radiator is large enough to cool at idle but not at cruise speed. Is the radiator new? If so, where did you buy it. Often times when you purchase discount radiators, a lot of the tubes...

    Should I scap the holley for an edelbrock??

    Sounds like a small particle is on the needle. I used to have that happen because my fuel tank was dirty. The particle is soooo small that you need a magnifying glass to see it. By the way, I even installed a in line fuel filter and it still would happen. Over time as the tank was cleaned...

    Got an engine lift/stand today....

    You will have to plug the end of the trans after removing the yoke (driveshaft) otherwise trans fluid will pour out. Don't forget to remove the speedometer cable, the shifter linkage, throttle linkage, and ground straps (back of engine to firewall). I assume you removed the trans cooling...

    3G Alt instal in a '70... some wiring help anyone?

    Based on the diagram, it doesn't look like you would use the regulator. It looks like you will hook the Alt Red wire to your ignition and the Alt output wire (Red Grommet) to the starter relay (battery side). Personally I did not use the 3G, instead I used a one wire PowerMaster alt. So...

    351c vs 351w

    The windsor is cheaper, but if your only going to change the cam, manifold and carb, then a cleveland should make more power. If your willing to invest in a set of heads, then a windsor is a good choice.

    An AOD is a bolt in affair as long as you have the large bellhousing C4. If you don't, just get the flexplate with 164 teeth. You will need a special crossmember for the swap. There are a couple of companies who make them. I don't remember off hand who they are. You will need the Lokar kick...

    Distributor phasing????

    Distributor phasing is the aligning of the rotor to the distributor cap towers. A lot of time the rotor is misphased (not pointing directly at the tower) causing lost power or miss at high speed. The best way I found is to use a clear distributor cap. That way you can then point the timing...
