    Help with T-5 identification (tag gone)

    Thanks for the tip Thanks for your help! I opened it up and there is a 052 on the countershaft. So, my guess is that it's from an 89. The dog teeth on 2nd gear are really rounded off, which would explain the hard shifting into 2nd. The PO mentioned that it would go into 2nd, but he had...

    Help with T-5 identification (tag gone)

    Hello All: I have a bit of a puzzle to see if you can help me with. I just picked up a T-5 off of Craigslist with a Hurst shifter for $100. It has a problem with 2nd gear, otherwise it works fine. I have already verified by checking the diameter of the pilot bearing section of the input...

    coolant leak under glove box....

    Heater Core On my '67, the hoses go through the firewall and connect to the heater core inside the cockpit of the car. You didn't say what year your car is, but if it's in this forum, it's probably about the same vintage. Depending on when you last replaced your heater hoses, you could...

    Tri-state cylinder heads

    Ohio Emissions I don't see emissions coming back in Ohio. They discontinued it around 2 years ago down here in Cincinnati and mothballed all of the E-Check stations.

    Tri-state cylinder heads

    Floo Tek I have the same question. I am looking for similar HP numbers. I have a rebuilt stock 302 short block in the garage and am considering buying a set. The engine will go in my 68 Fastback. I'm supposed to talk to Jim at Tristate tomorrow. I'll post what I find out.

    Flywheel question

    Unless you are running an internally balanced motor, you will need to install one of the included weights. Early 289/302 and all 351W require a 28 oz-in imbalance on the harmonic balancer and flywheel/flexplate. Late 302 (I think after 1981) require a 50 oz-in imbalance on the balancer and...
