    Cork versus Rubber Valve Gaskets

    Ive used this in the past and will never do so again. It is a chore to remove :bang: A dab or two might do okay, but don't get overzealous. I had a friend once who put a solid bead of this stuff around his valve covers, we had to use a crow bar to remove them :doh:

    First generation mustang Daily Driver

    I wouldn't, mine is my only car (if you don't count the wife's Crown Vic) I would advise, however, that you take your time, read until your eyes bleed, begin your search objectively for what you want, and don't be afraid to pass on a few cars until you find one that is right for you *edit* To...

    First generation mustang Daily Driver

    Short of me not paying attention to the gas level (gauge not working) It's never left me stranded. I've driven it 5 days a week for the last 6 years. I did go with electronic ignition, kept my plugs clean, kept my carburetor in check (you'll need to read into these further) I elected to put in a...

    Getting your carburetor in a happy A/F mixture with a proper idle, ensuring ignition is working well (good plugs, wires, points before you get tired of them)

    For reliability - Ditch the points ignition, convert to Pertonix, you'll discover this on your own the more your brush up, but I add this for emphasis. Driving manners - A good set of tires can't be overstated. I personally run Firestone Firehawk Indy 500's @ 215/65/R15 Great all around...

    Your setup sounds pretty similar to mine, here's how my engine sits in my 68. I'm using a Performer RPM intake if that makes any difference to you

    duraspark II and 14" edelbrock filter

    I have the large diameter cap like yours and I installed a 1-inch phenolic spacer under my carb recently (no more clearance issue for the dizzy). if you go to your local auto shop most will let you test fit filter lids & bases until you have one that clears. My biggest problem was the electric...

    +1 If they don't know what they're doing, take it to someone who does. Write a nasty complaint letter to them and the BBB while you're at it.

    68 mustang 429cj?

    You can fit it as is, but if you feel so inclined, notch your towers. You'll thank yourself when it comes time to change the spark plugs. It's kinda hard to change plugs with a 351C in a 68 engine bay:D
