    Hyperspark distributor fitment issues

    Just wanted to see if anyone else has run into this and if this is a good enough fix. I'm in the process of building my engine. So just wanted to make sure distributor fit with no issues. When I dropped the new Hyperspark distributor assembly in the block, I noticed the flange does not sit...

    351c motor frame mounts

    I'll keep those in mind. I have found a set of 71-72 hardtop brackets that I'm working a deal on at the moment.

    351c motor frame mounts

    Thanks for the heads up on the NPD adjustable mounts and the simple remedy. A quick question on the frame stands, would it also be ok to use the 71-72 vert/big block along with the Anchor 2257's? Looking at the pics of the two different frame stands, I notice there is a slight difference in...

    351c motor frame mounts

    I'm also in this same dilemma with my 73 vert. I've started a new engine build and would like to upgrade the engine mounts, but can't seem to figure out what combination(s) I will need if I want to use the Prothane mounts. I did see these available on NPD, but would like to see if anyone has...

    Unobtanium… Show those hard to find parts in your stash…

    Ram air hood

    I did call Mustangs of Chicago and they did confirm they have a NOS hood. A bit more than I'd like to spend. But, thanks for the lead! I will probably order a Golden Star as suggested and go that route.

    Need confirmation of correct flexplate to order for FMX

    After calling a few manufacturers, it was still unclear and confusing. However, Performance Automatics did tell me their flexplate will work for the FMX. They did say the C4 is the same, however I can not confirm it because TCI told me the opposite. Looking at the pic of PA's flexplate, it...

    VIN Check

    Not sure what the police will need on a VIN check. Here in Indiana, as long as the VIN on the dash is visible, that is all they've ever looked at when I have done an out of state purchase. Since this is a classic car with less than 17 digits, I doubt they will be that "thorough". When I...

    Need confirmation of correct flexplate to order for FMX

    Sometimes I get brain overload from too much conflicting "information" when searching online. So I'll ask the question here, seems like the people on this forum have the correct answers. Anyways, I have started an engine build for my 73 vert for a mild to moderate street car. Keeping the...

    Ram air hood

    I appreciate the info. It is difficult to decide without seeing them in person.

    Ram air hood

    Looking to replace my standard hood with a NACA (ram air). Can't seem to find a good used local factory Ford hood. Any suggestions on the aftermarket? I don't want fiberglass, steel hood is preferred. Is the NPD hood better than the CJPony ones? Other manufacturer options? Can't seem to...

    Factory looking aftermarket radio

    I recently installed the USA-740 and fits perfectly into my 73 vert. Has AM/FM, bluetooth, aux, and USB. Not sure if you'll find something to play cassette tapes unless you get yours converted. I didn't want to have my factory radio internals changed in case I ever sold the car and the new...

    Heater box cable clips needed

    Thanks, I’ll take a look. I found some for GM products that look the same. Seemed a bit pricey for what they are. But, when you gotta have them…

    Heater box cable clips needed

    Doing some dash work and disconnected the heater flap cables from the heater box. One came off, the other broke in half. Can’t seem to find these anywhere. Tried several hardware stores too. Anyone know where to get them?

    Instrument panel lenses very yellow

    Getting it removed was a little tricky for me. Removed the steering wheel which I was replacing anyways. Then I had to remove the lower column cover where it meets the lower dash. Removed the four lower steering column nuts underneath the dash so I could pull the column down slightly...

    90 degree stud pigtails needed to fit #10 studs

    Thank you! Exactly what I was looking for. Not sure why I couldn't find it when I was looking through their catalog. I also sent you an email on your website to order one of the accessory fuse extenders. Thanks for the info!

    90 degree stud pigtails needed to fit #10 studs

    Can't seem to find a source to get the 90 degree pigtail connectors for the #10 studs. All the ones that I have found online and local stores are #8. Anyone have a source to buy them from? I really don't want to cut the ends off and put eyelets with nuts if I don't have too.

    Instrument panel lenses very yellow

    I've used the Meguiars Plastic Polish "PlastX" on headlight lenses and made a big difference. Seemed to work well on those. I'm sure it'll help on the cluster lenses, but can't say it'll remove all of the yellowing.

    How to preserve build sheets

    I may just put them under some heavy books to get them flat and wrinkles out first. I just wasn't sure if the heat from the laminate machine would cause them to fade out like store receipts.
