    FPA headers on a '73 fastback help!!

    Has anyone tried cutting the rivet areas off and running a weld bead down the center? You guys think that would clear the header?

    FPA headers on a '73 fastback help!!

    Just got my 351C 2V Ford Power Train Headers in. They fit like glove but won't mount up. In my '73 fast back they had a one year only calm system motor mount. I had to smash up my last one to make it over the clam. They hit on the driver side, rear, outer corner of the clam. I am not about to do...

    71-73 Power Seat

    Picked up a power seat for my '73. Realized the switch knob is broken. Has anyone rebuild one or replaced it with another easily?

    A real look at E-85

    Okay, a follow up would be: are you sure the bacteria can survive in such high proof environment? Bacteria can grow in beer, maybe even wine on occasion, but hard liquor? Generally that stuff is so strong bacteria cannot grow in it. Do you know what makes ethanol able to be survived at such a...

    A real look at E-85

    So even when using a carb built for E-85 it will need to constantly be rebuilt? If this is a problem for all cars? Is acetic acid bad for internal components? Also, E-85 is like 170 proof... How can bacteria grow in that medium, but not standard drinking (hard liquor) alcohol?

    A real look at E-85

    I don't personally believe it should be subsidized, the problem is it is. Also a small number of vintage cars buying it or vetoing it won't make it go away. The point of this was to actually discuss the fuel itself, and examine E-85's use and properties. If production costs dropped and gasoline...

    A real look at E-85

    I am going to give you all some data on E-85 verses using Premium gasoline. This will be geared to being pro E-85, please READ THE ENTIRE POST before screaming NO at the top of your lungs. I am aware Ethanol has negative effects on hoses, gaskets, and has a possibility of corrosion on our...

    VIN Plate

    That is not original at all. I would always crack the fenders to verify before I would ever buy one.

    Locking Fuel Neck or Gas Cap

    I have a flip style "deluxe gas cap", on my mustang. I will NOT change this for a locking gas cap. I live in a college town and am worried an educated idiot may try to either steal fuel or cause damage. Has anyone ever seen a locking filler neck or an insert of any kind to do such a thing?

    FMX to B&M Ratchet Shifter

    I messaged you. I thought you had a C-6 with that hooked up. Love to see those pictures.

    FMX to B&M Ratchet Shifter

    Please Jump in and correct any misinformation. First off, I have already rebuilt my FMX and have no interest in changing over to another transmission to "make it easier" or "upgrade" to a C-6. From all the digging around I have done, it appears almost or no one has been able to successful mount...

    FMX Kickdown rod

    This is excellent! I was wondering I see a bunch of reviews and comments saying it is missing the adapter for the carburetor... Did you bolt it up or need additional parts?
