    Title Question... Gettin Desperate

    I bought a mustang to restore while I was in highschool. Since I was under 18, I gave the title to my parents so they could put the car in their name. Long story short, the title disappeared somewhere between my house and the DMV. I figured it would eventually show back up, but 4 years...

    Cant line up rear leaf spring!!!

    "Damage Control" w/pics (Cowl Vents)

    I just finished the cowl in my 67. I used the entire panels aside from the normal trimming and fitting. As for the wiper, I cut out the triangular piece from the original and welded it onto the replacement panel. You need to cut out the triangle, tac in the new one, and then install the wiper...

    To cheat or not to cheat?

    Thanks for the input guys. I'm going to have it done after I finish the cowl repair. I can't wait to get it back looking all shiny and new. Anyone have an idea on how long it would take for a shop to do the bondo and paint? There aren't any major issues that I have found with the body...

    To cheat or not to cheat?

    I have a 67 coupe that I have been restoring over the last year or so. I turn 21 in Feb and my parents have offered to pay to have all of the body work and paint done professionally for my gift. I've almost completed all of the welding, ie floor pans, cowl, other various patching. By having...

    Replacing a strut rod

    I got a little happy with the angle grinder and chewed into one of my strut rods on my 67 pretty good. The only place I have been able to find a replacement was from laurel mountain. Does anyone know any other online stores that carry them?>

    Fuel pump eccentric question

    :shrug: It was done on a lathe so it's fine. Even if its not perfect I doubt its going to throw of my cam.

    Fuel pump eccentric question

    I had the same problem with the 1 piece hitting the timing cover. I took the both eccentrics to the maching shop and had them machine the new one down to match the older one.

    Fuel pump eccentric question

    Dude I had a hell of a time finding a pin that worked. I ended up making my own and it only took about 20 minutes. Go to Lowes or some other hardware store and get a grade 8 bolt that is at least 3 1/2 inches long and the right diameter. Cut off the head and threaded part and use the...

    Cam/timing gear dowel question

    I called edelbrock and talked with one of their service techs. He said to use the longer pin that came with the cam and just push it in enough so it is flush with the eccentric. He said the side tension would hold the dowel in place. I'm worried the dowel is going to work its way back through...

    Cam/timing gear dowel question

    Neither of the dowels come all of the way through the timing gear. I'll call edelbrock and see if they have a longer one.

    Cam/timing gear dowel question

    I put an edelbrock rpm performer cam into my 74 302. I am using a edelbrock timing gear set as well. The cam directions called for me to replace the 2 piece eccentric with a 1 piece. I did this, but the dowels that came with the cam aren't long enough to come through the other end of the...
