Sorry, I cannot trade my notchback because I sold it for $12,000. Unfortunately, your car is a hatchback and it pretty rough which makes this a common $3-$4K car. If it was properly taken care of (stored inside not in the sun, not smoked in, clean engine bay, original paint, working AC...

Still for sale?

$4000.00

Very clean looking notch. :nice: New headlights lens will add to the appeal.

I use the Eibach Sportlines as well. The car can be aligned within specs without caster camber plates. After lowering my Mustang the car I aligned it to factory specs. Upon driving the vehicle I noticed that it wanders when driving straight(I have to correct the wheel and make regular...

Thanks for the compliment 67coupe. Yes, the China Wall is a slang term for the back wall area that runs perpendicular to the block. These areas on most engine blocks have a wall area that is not straight and curves similar in appearance to the "Great Wall of China". I work with an Engineer...

I agreee with you guys. The large Ford baffle looks to be a good solution as well. However, it will not work on my Edelbrock and probably other non-Ford intakes as well. The Edelbrock's do not have the casting bosses over the egr ports like the Ford intakes. The large Ford baffle attaches...

I am in the process of rebuilding my engine. While I am at it I decided to work on a solution of the pcv sucking oil. I have an Edelbrock Performer intake. This does not allow me to use the larger Ford baffle found on Exploer intakes because I do not have the casting bosses under ther egr...

I have not recieved any responses. Apparently, most guys just put in the rings without checking the end gap. Anyways, I called Hastings and they said that the rings sometimes are manufacturerd on the loose side. According to them this is better than having too little gap. In additon they...

I am currently rebuilding my 306. I have issues with the valve guides and while the heads off I decided while I had it apart I would put in new bearings and new rings. I ordered rings from Summit and they are made by Hastings. Upon measuring the end gap I have .024 end gap on the top compression...

I had the same problem a few yaers ago with my stock TB. It would not budge. I eventually got it off without damage. What I did: Take two nuts and thread them on one of the TB studs. Take two wrenches and tighten them together. Then turn the nut that is closest to the intake. This will...

Rings usually get carbon siezed from lack of maintenence. Oil changes every 8,000-10,000K miles. If your car had regular oil changes then Seafoam will do no good. An old mechanics trick is to remove the plugs and squirt ATF down the spark plug hole and letting it sit for a few days. The ATF is...

The consumption you have sounds like worn piston rings. You have two different sets of rings on each piston. Compression rings and oil control rings. A compression test will let you know how much pressure the piston is capable of building. However, the engine can have excellent compression...

I have a 306 that is smoking so I am looking at the Probe Industries 347 stroker kit to replace the current lowere end. I have AFR 165 cc heads, Edelbrock performer intake, and Comp XE270 hr14 cam.(see signature) Will these components work well with the 347? If so what type of HP numbers should...

BECAREFUL!!!!! That Husky separator is always draining. That separator will only close when it see a positive pressure. Since it is hooked up in the PCV system it only sees a negative pressure. Try it. Remove the bowl and blow in it. Notice it will close only if you blow on the inside. You need...

I think 4.10 is a little aggressive for steret driving? I don't want to kill my economy. But will I notice much from 3.55 to 3.73s?

I went through the traps at 5400rpms. I shift at 6000k. How do I know how much more gear I can go with without over revving in fourth? I would guess I could go with 3.73? But is 4.10 too much?

Wow, 1.6 is great sixty foot. If I got a 1.6 I would be around 12.4s or so. How do you launch to get the 1.6?

I have eibach Pro-kit springs w/ KYB GR2 shocks. Not really set-up for drag racing. I did have the front sway bar removed. I dumped the clutch on every run. I was thinking that maybe I should have sliped the clutch or let it out instead of side-stepping? Maybe it would have helped? I did launch...

It weighs 3300 with me. I was happy with 12.76 at 107.62mph. However, my sixty foot time seemed slow for the MT ET street tires. I launched at 5k and dumped the clutch. The tires did spin.
