    Carburated 83-84 Intake Manifold question

    I have a 5.0 with an aluminum intake out of an 83 Mustang. I am running a Holley 1850 carb and a 1" spacer plate. The manifold has the chamber for the EGR gases coming up on the passenger side. The regular carb gaskets don't cover that chamber and I am having a slight exhaust leak in that area...

    Anyone got this spoiler?

    If one had the leMans stripes, then the Cobra Spoiler is a must because those stripes just do not suit a car without a spoiler. Having said that, the spoiler really improves the look of the II from the rear angle, however, if one looks at it from the side, I find that it shortens the look of...

    Anyone got this spoiler?

    I think that given the Mach1 has it's own digit in the VIN, the production numbers are small. I believe that will give us an edge in keeping the Mach 1 true to the design. If we fall to adding the rear spoilers, spats and stripes, we will be thrown into that Cobra crowd and get lost in their...

    70's Cars Make Me Happy!

    I don't mind that style of the Z28. I like the Trans Am a little bit better. What I didn't like was driving them. To me they felt really heavy. I drove a 79 or 80 convertable model (some sort of an aftermarket conversion) that was an absolute mess to drive. It felt like a bowl of jelly. To...

    Pics from Car Show !

    Some very nice cars there. There appears to be almost as many Edsels as mustangs. That is quite the shifter on the Sport Fury. It brings a different interpretation of the Mopar "Pistol grip" /paul http://www.cardomain.com/ride/2219901

    Need help with carb/intake problem

    I would appreciate it if anyone could help me out with this. I have 302 and picked up an aluminum intake (4 hole) for the 600 CFM Holley that I have planned to go on the car. The intake E3ZE 9425 FD has the hole for the Exhaust gases to come up to the EGR plate. Any phenolic spacer that I...

    ET 1/4 mile guess, What do ya think?

    I hate to say that I agree with Vegas Stang. It sounds like you have a real nice set up to the point of the rear end and tires. With an open rear end that is stock, you will have to feather it all of the way down the track. I guess the one good thing about that is that it will be easier on...

    Picture at Mach 1

    Great shot of the Mach 1 Jason!!:canada: With respect to Lance's question about the Targo band replacement, I would have a comment. I gave this serious consideration after painting as I really liked the clean look without the Targa band. My mind got made up very quickly for me when I...

    cobra II value?

    I had a 74 Capri, as well as a 75 & 77 and they were quick and fun to drive. No pics of the latter 2 but here is a pick of the 74. There was a 73 Capri for sale in our area on Kijiji; With respect to the 2.3 Cobra, if it is in good shape, it might be a good $3000 -$4000 car to use...

    Priming in my garage???

    Kevin, I can't wait to see the 37 finished. I don't think Canadians would be eligible to win, would they? With respect to a 4.6 in a II, check this out. It appears there had to be some cutting on the inner fenders to make it work. Regards /paul http://www.cardomain.com/ride/2219901

    stupid question - miata rims?

    My recollection is that the Miata 4 bolt pattern is the more common 4 x 100 whereas the II wheel is the 4 x 108mm bolt pattern. /paul http://www.cardomain.com/ride/2219901

    Priming in my garage???

    Thanks Jimmy. That is a great tip. Alot of people do not think of a fresh air supply source and end up sucking dirt out of all of the nooks and crannies. In my case, it was so cold out I had to choose heat or ventilation and the heat won. That is why there is so much overspray in the air in...

    Priming in my garage???

    Thanks Kevin (kttrucks), that means a lot coming from you! I really appreciate the comment on the IIs in general as well, as they do seem to be the black sheep of the Mustang family. I did get really lucky on this one. Regards /paul p.s. Chromedog, that is a beautiful Coupe you have...

    66 comet caliente

    I always liked the Comet and Fairlane 2 door models in 66 & 67. I did a search locally and see a 66 Cyclone GT for sale on Kijiji for $27,900 located in Nova Scotia. I'll try to post a pic.

    Priming in my garage???

    I also painted my car in stages over a 7 month period in a detached garage. The weather was quite cold ( around 0-10 degrees F.) I had to have heat on at the time as well as a heater with a fan. I hung a bedsheet about 4' in front of the fan which was in a fixed position pointing toward the...

    Sorta OT: Polishing alloy/aluminum wheels?

    If they are aluminum, they can be done with patience. I took a set of painted white aluminum wheels and stripped the paint off with a stripper. I then started wet sanding with 400 grit sand paper, then 600, 800 1200, 1500 and finally 2000 grit wet sandpaper. Once that was complete, I polished...
