I was just given 3 carbs, 2 1850-2's and one 1850-3, whats the differences in all the 1850 variants?

Pulled the plugs, cylinder 7 and 8 have what looks like cream in them plus alot of water, engine was starting to get hydro locked from them, never seen so much oil/water contamination from a head gasket before. I noted that one of the blown freeze plugs is right between 7 and 8 so who knows...

I jumped to the conclusion that it was a cracked block because of the boats history, its the ferry for a doctor friend to get to his sailboat, and wasn't winterized at least one year if not more resulting in freeze plugs getting blown out. Plus it went half underwater at one point this last...

I am looking at getting a boat with a '72 ford 302 in it with oil that looks like a cappucino (investigating the cause, believe to be a cracked block) for dirt cheap (because of the junk motor) and I am wondering if an '88 5.0 that I still have sitting in my garage would bolt up correctly as a...

If u dont have a console and wanna make it look decent many of the earlier 80's fox cars were consoleless and had a little plastic house on the ebrake base covering the gears and stuff.

What is the exact difference between a 69 and 70 rim blow steering wheel? Can i change parts on one from a 70 to make it correct for a 69? Does the rim blow wheel require any column mods to replace a regular one or is all the horn wiring and hardware the same? Also in an unrelated...

Well at least for a long while. Maybe someday i'll get back to them if the right car comes along. For diplomatic reasons and a lack of space I decided I'll hafta ditch both of the project '70 fastbacks that I have and sell everything off. Ended up getting a '52 Ford pickup to work on that...

Anyone have a rolled '70 (or maybe '69) sportsroof or maybe one with severe roof damage or something, I will be needing to get rid of a complete, undamaged roof from an unrestorable '70 that I am cutting up and I figure someone might have a use for it rather than just scrapping it. Its not cut...

Part it out it is then. I'll hafta do it myself because I need the rocker panels and rear frame rails off of it (mine need more than just the rear parts) and the car would fall apart and not be moveable with that much gone I would think. I may also likely take parts of the front lower frame...

I have two '70 fastbacks, one is the oddball grabber car that iam fixing, the other I bought just for the non original strange built 9" rear end in it, its basically a really rough parts car. I picked up the drivers door two weeks after the rest of the car if thats any idea of condition. It...

Well when Jesse took over in MN the first thing he did was axe the emissions testing, now you can get tabs and take drag cars down the street so long as you don't have anything obviously illegal and have at least race mufflers. I can't imaging more emissions crap getting any farther than the...

A survivor is usually a good original condition car with either no rust or only minor surface rust. Did you buy this thing just to resell it? Why not keep it?

And here I thought it was my own personal madness to coat both sides of a gasket with gear lube and no rtv. Originally did it for quick lube changes for offroad vehicles without all the damn scraping. Doesn't seem to leak though, Iam actually really pleased.

No not the door glass trim, I found those already. This time its the stupid little chrome piece that covers the gap between the roof drip rail and the quarter glass trim. Its not much more than an inch or 2 long and has a 45 degree bend and a small tab where a screw holds it on. Its right...

I could come up with indisputable facts as to why it is mandatory to race wearing a chicken costume if I felt like it. Start my ignoring all information about the necesessity of products from the sites selling said products. You wouldn't believe how close they will come to outright lying to...

Youll hafta get a vin report from marti. Just curious but why bother with a '71 6cyl coupe? thats really the bottom of the barrel and a 71-73 mach1 could be had for like $1,500 driveable with no major rust these days.

Get a moderator to kick this thread over to the talk forum. Its got at least 4 more pages left in it. :spot: :spot: :spot:

Do they even sell locking gas caps for old stangs? I dont suppose they look halfway decent?

Don't settle for a salvage title whatever you do, if there isn't a free way to get a clean title in your state, just get one from titles unlimited (titlesunlimited.com, or something like that). I got a clean title for my 1st '70 before I had even finalized the deal for the car just to make...

Its an 8" don't change it unless your building your engine way up because the 302 will have a hard time breaking it with an auto unless your going much higher than stock hp with slicks. The 8.8 isn't strong enough to be worth the effort of swapping it, go with a 9". Finding one that already...
