Hello do you still have the 4speed parts?.

Same here 38 total no problems, been like that for years. I had 18 at idle and 20 mechanical advance for years. Last year tried a locked distributor at 38 degrees and seems to run better at idle and low speeds. Cam is 255 duration .605 lift solid flat tappet and approx 10.5 or more compression

I would drive it more to let everything settle, 2 months old how many miles driven? probably not much yet. Im liking the rear lower lately, as original

I wonder what switch is that left of the headlight switch? Looks like a convertible top switch

Hello, sounds like you already have gaskets but I have had great luck with these Mr Gasket https://www.summitracing.com/parts/mrg-5836/overview/make/ford I have had the Felpro print o seals fail. Seems the bead of silicone printed in there is too thick and extrudes or deforms the gasket paper...

I kept reading the forum and saw this https://www.7173mustangs.com/thread-fmx-transmission-shifter-seal-replacement-how-to

Aside from the above mentioned dipstick oring There is also a seal on the shift linkage bell crank lever that often leaks and could be changed with trans in place. FMX are very durable, try to fix the leak and see if it runs. Troubleshoot the issue before rebuilding, last thing you need is to...

Hello I have magnaflows with 3” h pipes and 2 1/2 pipes after the mufflers and never a drone. Loud at acceleration and full throttle but not too bad at cruising speed 55-75

Agree that is an aftermarket fan. However original Ford mustang flex fans commonly exploded. I had one disintegrate and luckily only took out the shroud and a small dent in the hood. This is one time where a reproduction fan or good aftermarket would be better choice. I think Ford had a...

I hope to be there Friday and Sat? 4 hour drive for me. Any one going from the south want cruise up together?

Thanks for the suggestions, Looks like it's Time to for me to start sanding then.

Does anyone have advice for this new project I have, it's a Galaxie I picked up. The prior owner had bodywork done and then sanded the primer to apply sealer or paint but never got around to it. Many areas where bare metal and many areas were thin primer which now developed mild surface rust...

Which gun did you finally get?

I have used both Hooker Competition And the Super Competition headers, excellent fit on both. No rubbing anywhere. The super comps are closer the ground due to bigger and longer pipes and a larger collector, totally unnecessary for a street car. 6915 and the larger 6211...

Mine has been missing for about 7 years and wouldnt think twice about not running one. You may have to fab one if your block plate is from the FMX, no inspection cover will fit. If you used the V-6 Ford Blockplate that came with the tranny and it worked then a junkyard should have one. I don't...
