    HEI distributor

    Hi Jason.  I don’t know the casting number but can get it later.  That’s a good idea to see if my block is a one-off or DUI sent out a unit that skipped the final step at the lathe. I talked to them on Monday and the distributor is on its way back for a modification. My POS distributor housing...

    HEI distributor

    I rebuilt my 351C in my '72 fastback and went with a cheap Proform HEI from Summit Racing.  The bad part was that I could never get more than 28 degrees of total timing no matter what I did with weights or springs.  I ordered a DUI from Performance Distributors in Memphis and gave them all my...

    Console swap

    Has anyone installed a late model center console into a 71-73 Mustang?  I am having trouble finding a full length medium blue console with cup holders for my car.

    Eckler's and Macs

    The last person I talked to at Eckler's told me to send it back and to pay postage on the return.  I have no problem returning the mirror, it just should be at their expense since they lied to me.  The odd part to me is (just like you) I've had good experiences in the past with them.  I ordered...

    Eckler's and Macs

    Just wanted to give everyone a heads up about dealing with Eckler's.  I ordered two outside mirrors for my '72 fastback. After trying two other places without success, Mac's (Eckler's) had them both in stock.  I confirmed twice with the person on the phone both were in stock and would be...
