    How to change spring perch bushings?

    I ordered some new 1" lowering coils from NPD the other day, and while I was at it I ordered new poly spring perch bushings. I have everything apart now, and I imagine I could drive the shaft out of the spring perch if it wasn't for the two bolts which seem to want to stay in the shaft! I tried...

    York Compressor, high head pressure and fan shroud...

    Just got my car back from the shop after having the compressor changed for the second time. The shop changed it for free under warranty, but said I have to put on a clutch fan and shroud (something I changed last year because of overheating problems, the shroud is another story) because the head...

    Feel kinda dumb; C-4 modulator help?

    I decided to change my vacuum modulator in my c-4 just because it's old and to prevent problems. Haven't had any yet, but I went ahead and bought one. (I know, if it ain't broke don't fix it. But my motto is; If it ain't broke, fix it till it is!) Anyway, I went to change it and ran it to a...

    Slightly OT; Cryrogenically frozen engines

    Slightly OT; Cryogenically frozen engines I was listening to the radio today, and they had on a guy who cryogenically freezes motors and other things made of metal. He says that it increases strength and can make a motor last 3 to 5 times longer than normal. He also said that some NASCAR people...

    Disc brake control valve on 67....?

    I was under my car today doing some cleanup and detailing and noticed a small cylinder shaped valve in the brake line near the rear end housing. I also noticed it was damp with brake fluid, so I looked it up in my Ford shop manual. It's the disc brake control valve, which must be replaced as a...

    Finally decided on Cragar SS for the 67

    I finally decided on 15X7 Cragar's for my 67 GTA w/BFG TA's (225/60). I considered the old Keystone's and the TT2's, but either nobody has them or everybody does. Anyway, I think they look great on the car. They look like what the guy's with money in high school had on their cars! (I always...

    A/C Compressor stabilizer bar; Important?

    I installed my Edelbrock 600 on my 67 yesterday, and it actually went quite well and works great! Only problem is I have leftover parts; there's a bar that runs from the compressor to the manifold that was right in the way of the new carb. There is NO room for it as it is now, so I left it off...

    Got an Edelbrock 600; What Else Will I Need?

    OK, I decided on an Edelbrock 600cfm for my 67 GTA with a 289. Mostly because I could get one about $75 cheaper than a 500cfm. I'm sure it will bolt right on, but what am I in for when it comes to linkage and kick down? Also, how about hooking up the electric choke and will my stock air cleaner...

    Edelbrock Carb; 500 or 600cfm?

    I've read a lot of posts here and other places about this, but I'm still somewhat confused. To me, it sounds like the 500cfm will work better on my totally stock 289 in my 67 GTA. But I can buy the 600cfm for less, which doesn't make sense to me. Also, should I get the manual or electric choke...

    Advice on buying 65-68 Mustang?

    Hi there, I'm new here but would like to ask some advice on buying a classic Mustang. I've always wanted one, and now I'm able to afford one (finally!) I can afford to spend $15 to 17K for one, and I want one that's pristine or close to it. I'd like to have a fastback or a convertible, but...
