Would there be any real advantage to switching to a steel flywheel instead of having my cast piece resurfaced? Does it grip any better and will be more resistant to cracks? The car only has 50,000 miles on it. My clutch disk also needs to be replaced. It is fraying on the edges. Should I replace...

Ok I found a place that is only 10 minutes or so from my school, Advanced Engine Rebuilding Inc. They quoted me $40. Has anyone in the Cape area heard of them? Here is a picture of the flywheel.

I will look into resurfacing. I’m not sure how deep they are but I can feel most of them with my finger nail. If it can’t be machined I need a 0 balance flywheel.

I started taking apart my engine and noticed that my flywheel has hairline cracks about an inch long all over the face. What would have caused these cracks? I would figure that the flywheel is no longer usable, does anyone have a recommendation for a flywheel clutch assembly for the 390...

WOW great cars everyone. I hope one day mine will be as clean as most of yours. Im going to be pulling the engine out within the next few weeks. http://www.cardomain.com/ride/845053/1

You shouldn’t have to cut anything as the 390 was an option in 67. You will need big block engine mounts. I think that the radiator is larger. You will need to make sure the tranny can handle it. With an automatic and stock tires the 8in should be fine. Even though I love my 390 why would you...

67scodegt: what car/year did you get it from, or was it new? was it the large or small case?

anyone

I want to upgrade the alternator in my car I have heard a lot about the 3G. My main question is if I go to the junk yard what car/year should I pull one out of that will fit in? Is the wiring the same as my stock alternator? Also do I just take the pulley off of the old alternator and put it on...

I too have a 67gt, with a 390, so it should have come with a nine inch it has a “D” code in the vin number. However, the rear end does not have the “hump”. I don’t know why anyone would have changed it out for an 8in the car only has 50,000 miles on it, it was used as a summer car. Also at what...

I went with the pertronix ignitor 2 part # 91281 and flame thrower 2 coil part # 45011. I hope it fits.

I would like to upgrade my ignition system. I am thinking of one of the electronic ignition converters and a new coil. There are a few companies that make them witch one do you guys recommend? I don’t think that the distributor for my 390 is not the original. It is a ford distributor c5af-c...

I read somewhere that you don’t actually loose power with stiffer springs. When the cam is pushing up on a lifter, another lifter is pushing back down on the cam with equal force. So essentially the forces of the springs are canceled out.

I was thinking of buying some for my 67 vert, but they are around $200. Has anyone made their own? It doesn’t seem hard, it is just some 2” square stock and a weld bracket. Does anyone have some pictures of their sub-frame connectors attached to the car so I can get some ideas? Thank you

I did not have to cut any dash metal. Also I drilled a small hole (about the thickness of a paperclip) in the center plastic cover so I can use the remote.

Check out my car for another idea BTW with the black plastic cover you cant even tell its there

One of my power top hydraulic cylinders is leaking. Is there any way to rebuild it so I don’t have to buy a new one. Thank you

I actually put my two rear speakers behind the seat. (on either side of the power top pump). I am not sure what the fastback is like, but I would think that there is room. The two 6 ½ kicker speakers sound good even behind the seat. If you can’t find a spot the system should be fine with only...
