Finished buttoning up the engine from new heads,rockers and cam. Did the cam break in run too. All went good. No overheating, fired up first try, no leaks. Need to do some fine tuning still from the stock set up, but very relieved. My first time ever doing this and was a scarry feeling.

It is a 71 Mach 1 h code. I wish i could get what i have into it but know i won't but maybe half. Thanks for the link. I will check it out.

Sorry, Don't know what i was thinking you are correct and i updated it. I even proff read it a couple times.

I was just wondering what type of demand is out there for Used parts. I am planning on getting rid of my 71. I just don't know if i want to try to get rid of it as a whole or part it out. It is pretty well tore down. My work changed and i just can't devote the time to work on it like i wanted...

Rick The setup is the way i bought it. I haven't added anything. I saw the drawing you posted and that is why i posted a pic of my set up. It seems odd that i have the two vacs hooked up. I don't have that "tree" also. It seems that the PO added the carb and intake and didn't really know what...

Ok guys, i could use your expertise. The past weekend i was doing some tinkering in the engine bay and found a bad gasket between my carb and intake. I thought the car was running good but seemed to lack some giddy up. I fixed the gasket and had to re tune the carb and idle rpm. Now i can spin...

Ok, had a little time to mess with it. It was an issue on performance. I just didn't know it. I pulled the carb all apart and found the gasket to be torn. Will be ordering another one with a phenolic spacer to get rid of the aluminum one first thing tomorrow. After i found that it was torn i...

Am i losing anything performance wise with the engine? I am starting to research all this engine stuff. It has been years since i have even thought about all this stuff. I plan to do a top end rebuild and am researching for what i am looking for.

As i was poking around the my car and looking in my engine bay i noticed something odd. On the front of my carb, between the spacer and the intake manifold there is a gap. I can poke the twisty tie in the pic all the way in. I will say the car runs and idles just fine but to it seems to me...

Thanks all. Will look into everything. I will probably hold off on the front till i make up my mind on engine. Do i wanna build up the 302 in it or build up my cleveland sitting in my shop. If i go the cleveland route i want to make sure i get the right set up for that motor or will be doing it...

Chris If i do the swap i was planning on doing my leaf springs along with it (hence my other thread). I think the 3.25 will be a good fit for me.

I guess it probably goes along with my other thread on rear end swaps. Right now the car as it sits is an awesome cruiser. Really enjoy it but still want that " stomp on the gas and your head flips back". I am planning on upgrading to 15's on wheels. Probably 8's or 10's on the rear. I plan to...

I guess i should ask him. I poked around on his site and didn't see too much but he does pull things out of nowhere. If Don has it i will buy from him.

Okay guys, give me the low down on swapping rear ends. Right now i have an 8" with 2.79 gears. I am thinking of swapping the whole assembly with my other project mach that has the 9" 3.25 traction lock. Is it just as easy as just swapping the whole rear end out or is there other things i need...

As i will be getting my exhaust kit this coming week i have been mulling over new leaf springs for the rear. I currently have air shocks in the rear and want to get rid of them. I know one member here(don't remember who) touts the eaton springs. I have looked at them and priced them but ouch...
