I did the swap from C6 to AOD and dropped the rear end to 370. I went with a lock up converter to lower the highway RPMs even more. I like the lower 1st gear and cruise. I don’t like the lockup stays engaged on coasting to a stop and causes the car to buck with the large cam. I either have to...

Make sure to include pixs if yo have to modify the tunnel to fit the transmission

Ordered mine straight from TMI. Might want to call them too.

Installed the one piece TMI in a 67. I put cut off screws and bolts in the coat hooks, seat belt and dome light holes. After I cut off the screw/bolt heads I sharpened them and left enough sticking out so they would poke back through the headliner for location. I did the dome light first and...

What is a good # or link to contact Don or Mike? Thanks, David

No go on Restoration Parts Source either.

Top flight does not have one in stock. Back ordered with no expected restock date.

Getting the parts needed to replace my damaged crossmembers on my 71 Mach 1. I found the #1 crossmember in stock and it is being shipped out. The #2 crossmember (under engine) is out of stock with every vendor I check with. Even Dynacorn says they don't know when part 3601L will be back in...

If it is changing while you are driving it sounds like you have a vacuum leak. Inspect the lines for cracks/breaks.

You have to bypass the stock coil wire (red with green stripe) by running a new wire or splicing a new wire in place of the resistor part of the wire. If you trace the wire out of the ignition switch you can tell when the resistor starts because the wire gets fatter. Not easy to see in those...

Once I bought a load leveler it made it a 1 man job...much easier.

As Superbond said check for 12 volts going to the petronix. This might require bypassing the internal resistor wire that connects the ignition switch to the + side of the coil. The resistor wire cut the voltage down to prolong point life but will play havoc on a petronix.

71 owned since 73. Driven in high-school. 225,000 miles. 351C-V4, air and auto. Engine stretch to 408 cdi (494 horse power) and AOD transmission. 3.00 rear gear swapped for 3.70 Ford posi. Absolute blast to drive. Always a conversation starter when we take it out.

Just installed the Holley sniper on a 67 289 mild street build. Used holley's drop on fuel pump/sender and no return line.i also installed holley's sniper distributer which made it easy to set up for initial start. Not a lot of miles so far but will pleased with the ease of install and throttle...

Same for Kawasaki small engine oil. I run 20-50 in all of my lawnmowers and hot rods.
