I'll check the valve clearance on the complete left cylinder head. Thanks I'll check the valve clearance, thanks.

Has anybody ever done the valve clearance check for hyd lifters? My engine was rebuilt by a reputable machine shop. I changed out all my lifters, thinking one was collapsed, # 6 intake. But nope, ticking sound still there, left cylinder head. If the machine shop milled the cylinder heads, that...

Well, what I did, I took the brand new electronic V/R and painted it ford drk blue.I then place the yellow letters autolite sticker. If you are doing a concours restoration you will have to remove the old cover or get one from the junkyard and put it on the new electronic V/R base.

Nicely done. I love that dark blue paint. That is a really cool air cleaner housing with the dual snorkels.

Looks great, low cost. You did a great job -- lookin sharp dude

Wow, looks really shiny! Looks good. I'm having my Mustang, a 71 hardtop fixed up at the body shop, correcting another shops mistakes! The underneath of the hood had paint flaking off of it, no prep. The drivers door and hood will be aligned better also. Wish me luck, they said it should be...

I'll inspect the driveshaft too. thanks.

Well, first, I had the front wheels and tires spin balanced. I have 4 kyb shocks installed in the car, about 2 years old, the tires are 14 inch BF Goodrich radials ( 6 yrs old, but brand new ), This didn't help the shake. When traveling in town, sometimes the vibration comes on as low as 45 mph...

My car, a 71 hardtop does the same thing. The rear window seals and the window opening design is just not tight enough to keep all the water out. After you wash the car, preferably by hand, not the automated car-wash. Just open the trunk and let it air dry and wipe up the excess water. Ford...

UPDATE ON NO RUN ISSUES. I REPLACED THE KEY CYLINDER FIRST. THE ENGINE STARTED RIGHT UP AND CONTINUED TO RUN. i HAVE ALSO REPLACED THE IGNITION SWITCH. -------------------------------------------------->>>>>>>> I want to check the resistance wiring for 9 volts. I'm...

You are doing a great job! Where did you learn the welding skills? awesome. Cool body jig you put together. The new old stock radiator support. McLaughlin Ford in New Milford Conn. I know where that dealership is! I grew up in Ridgefield Conn. Keep going withe car, don't give up!

So, can you get to the neutral safety switch from inside the car?

How do you ground the terminal on the coil, or make sure the points are closed? On the continuity check for the neutral safety switch can I get to the terminals on the auto floor shift from inside the car or from the bottom of the car?

I need that done on my 71 mustang coupe. Are you in New Mexico?
