Define rust bucket ? And your basic skills ? Trunk floor, quarters, floor pans ??? Its always been my personal experience that its never what you bargin for once you dive into it. Double your original estimate and quadruple your time frame. Rust is never just what you see.. Its always way up in...

I have cars that are actually rotting , literally but i still hang on to them under the false pretence one day soon ill get to them.... Then i see a car somewhere i stumble across in a field and try to buy it and the guy is like i don't want to sell it... I go back to the truck and tell my wife...

I agree with candy. 327's are a dime a dozen. As a buyer and seller the first thing i ask is why was it bored. A bored small block other than a 350 or 400 block usually indicates damage to the bore. Not that its a deal killer but i can pick up complete 283 327s 305s. 2 bolt 350s for 300 - 400...

Forgot to add that if you install a 12v pusher pump as close to the tank as possible and replace your rubber lines if they are older we typically eliminate fuel delivery issues. Pushing fuel is preferable to sucking fuel.... We buy the napa brand pumps for around 50 bucks..

If you suspect vapor lock try this. Remove the fuel line from the carb. Go to home depot or lowes and pick up some clear tubbing and a barbed double sided fitting. Install the clear line to the carb and watch. You should see air traveling through the line. Keep in mind the tube is not...

solid state or mechnical regulator ?

you need to take it to a shop where they can put it on a rack. get a accurate messurement from all for corners. odds are they will proably be able to bring it all into alignment on the rack for your basic camber, caster and toe that is. Why is your track width off ?? you did not change the...

ditch the ps and drive it like your the govenator

Pressurize the cooling system and check for a leak if you are suspect of a coolant leak. Sounds like you need to a leak down test and check your valves and head the condition of your head gasket.

I live in Austin and I have bought several cars and pieces of equipment from out of state and not had a problem. In addition to the title I always get a bill of sale that has been signed buy the seller in front of a state authorized notary from the state where he lives and the notary has signed...

Purchases like that are always a personall call. I personally would never buy a classic mustang past 1970. 71-73 mustangs even in great condition just do not bring the prices anddo not have the same value for the investment as other mustangs do. Return on my investment has always been the big...

Well the white smoke is indicative of burning oil in most cases. Try pulling the plugs on that side and cleaning them really well. Reinstall them and run the engine. Pull the plugs out and see if you got one that is has a lot of residue on it. But you also said it was overheating. Make sure you...

Cut you a wood shim to keep between the ears are press the caps in. Just like stated above. use a little lube and you should be able to feel if its going smooth or not.

I had side exiting pipes on my 66 fastback that turned out right infront of the rear tires. They sounded great just did not fucntion great.Mustangs are already low and I lowered mine alot more. I had 2 1/2 pipes and they would scrape on every speed bump or steep angled drive way on exit. Just...

I would suggest just pulling the shaft out and taking it somewhere and having it checked. I had a shaft balanced at a local jeep shop and it cost me like 20 bucks. A lot easier than trying to chase out the vibration with hose clamps. If the shaft is ok you know you got problems elsewhere. I...

Wicked93gs is right about getting the biggest machine you can afford. But there are down sides to that. Most homes are not set up with the required plugs and or voltage to run a bigger welder. I would recommend being that you are new to welding, is to go to home depot or lowes ect and buy a 110...

Are you getting fuel? It takes 3 things to make any engine run. Fuel, spark and compression. Pull the fuel line of the carb and crank the engine over and see if the fuel pump is putting out. If it is putting out fuel try setting the carb to a rich condition and try giving it a few cranks. Pull...

Where is the crack located on the tower? Base, middle, top? I doubt that any of the physical dimensions have changed from two cracks. Not saying that they didn’t, but I find it unlikely. I’m assuming that you just have some small cracks along the base of the tower? If it was just me I would weld...

Not sure how you got fuel inside your tester, the Schrader valve should have not let fuel into the tester. The results look pretty consistent. The number 4 cylinder looks a little off. I would redo your test again. I have never been a real believer in the fact that there can be a real accurate...

I didnt know tcp was still around
