    Finding motor year

    My 302 in my car is not original. I'd like to find out what year the motor is for my own knowledge, and to get an idea of the horsepower rating. Can I find anything out by looking at the vin stamped on the intake manifold? Here is what is stamped on top, all I'm looking for is the year it was...

    My friends dad is going to check it out on saturday, see if its bad. Honestly, I drove it around a little last night, and its not as bad as I thought. Actully not bad at all. Its just a big, wallowing ride.

    First impressions/progress so far

    Well, I finally got it on the road today. Here is a little history. The car was picked up from a guy that lives about 5 miles from my house. I passed the car about every day going to school for 2 years. At the beginning of June, I really noticed that it was just sitting there rotting in his...

    vin decoder

    ok sorry. I'm talking about my 73 convertible. What did you want pictures of? There is no plate or sticker on my doorjambs for the trim code. Although I do have my vin, thats it. My question is if I can find out the detailed info thats normally on the trim plate, such as another place to look.

    vin decoder

    Well after running the vin thats on the dash pad, I would assume its correct. It comes up with all the info that is correct, convertible, 351c 4v, built in dearborn, etc. However, is there another place where I can find the trim plate?

    vin decoder

    Quick question. The plate that contains all the optional info such as body color, options, etc, was removed. It should be on the door jam correct? If so, its not there. All I have is the vin, which could be wrong, because the dash pad may have been replaced. Is there a vin on teh chassis...

    Want to build a motor

    Really? I would think they have a big aftermarket. I'm attracted to the semi "big block" that the 351w cant offer. I'm not talking serious buildup either, just get a block, possibly bore it out, new pistons, crank, a mild street cam, ported heads, intake and 4bbl carb. worth it?

    Which part does it replace, the whole middle part of the steering wheel or just the little brown insert that you press for the horn?

    How long will exhaust smoke after engine rebuild?

    You say you had serious smoke before...could some oil still be in your exhaust, its just slowly burning off? When I blew a headgasket in my Eclipse, it sent coolant into the exhaust, and took about 2-300 miles to burn off.

    Getting rid of interior smell

    Really so even letting it sit outside for a day or two(assuming there is no rain) with the windows open wont lessen the smell?

    Getting closer!

    Hey guys, I've been working on this for about a month now, picked it up for 3,000. Since its needs paint, I started with the interior. Stripped it completely, as you can see in the pictures. Then I did everything from scratch with most new parts, and did it the right way. Taking it apart I...

    Another way to attach door panels?

    Hey guys, as some of you know, the cardboard backing on the door panels doesnt hold up very well once you pull it off. Mine is all ripped up where the clips go, and getting them to get back in there, and let alone line up, will be impossible. I have gotten about 3 or 4 in there, and they are...
