I am a member of this group on FB and posted it a few weeks back.  I got a ton of likes and comments.  Several expressed interest but couldnt buy for one reason or another.  Thanks for the recommendation though.  ::thumb::

Im going to replace the intake manifold gasket today and then order new rear tires for it so I can have the full set of factory rims back on it.  Then Im going to finish painting and reassembling the dash and stick the passenger side seat back in.  Once all that is done it truly is a driver.  I...

Ok so I still have the new turkey pan from the first gasket set I bought.  This new performance gasket set from felpro has thicker gaskets.  Should I use the turkey pan from the first kit on top of the performance gasket set or would I be running the risk of yet another failed intake install...

Well I am 50!! lollerz

I actually bought this stuff for this next gasket replace. ::thumb::

Its more of a matter of time and desire than anything. As anal as I am this will be a 10 year project to get it to where I'm happy. I am still tinkering with it and plan on getting some interior pieces at the autofair next month. For the body and paint there are only a few spots that I would...

I am still on the fence about selling the car but do have it listed on CL and FB market place.  I originally had it listed for $9850 but lowered it to $9450.  I had a lot of interest the first few days of the add but now no interest at all.  I will keep it before I let it go cheap and not in a...

Finally figured out why I'm getting a bad backfire and have a loud whistling sound.  The intake is leaking really bad.  I found it by spraying brake clean around the edges.  I guess I should have used the turkey pan after all and not just those thin gaskets.  I have a set of thick performance...

What is 55?  Do you mean the Auto Fair???

At least in my part of the country (SC) you rarely see a 71-73 mustang driving around.  I've seen a couple in rough shape in peoples back yard but nothing on the road.  Is it because of popularity? Lack of numbers left? Average condition being too poor to fix?  Something else?  I don't see many...

I got new front tires on it but the rears are scrubbing bad.  I'm getting 255's for the rear this week.  I only took it down the street and back.  I washed it off and took these new pics.

hmmm ok so the distributors just get wired in a different direction from a chevrolet but the engine rotates the same direction. A Chevrolet cap wires clockwise 18436572. I noticed from the #1 cap position of the ford the firing order routes counter clockwise.

IIRC a Chevrolet distributor turns clockwise to advance the timing but since a ford motor rotates a different direction does the distributor rotate counter clockwise for advance? How much advance does a 351 c 4v like?

It is a solid car.  Not desperate for money I just don't have the time and really the motivation right now to put into the car.  I hate to see it just sit there.  I am very anal or meticulous which ever term you want to use and it would take  me forever to get the car in the kind of shape I...

Still not sure about keeping it.  If I put new tires on it it can be driven.  I just dont have the time and money to put into it.  I have listed it for sale on craigslist and under the classifieds in this forum.  Here is the add.  What do you guys think...

Factory 4 speed  AC New brakes New fuel tank New battery Rebuilt .030 Edelbrock intake Holley 650 Mallory distributor  New floor plans Solid trunk Interior needs replacing. This car runs and drives but will need new tires. Here is the craigslist add.   ...

Well I think I am going to go with either Cooper or Mastercraft 235/60/15's in the front and 255/60/15's in the rear on the stock hub cap rims. I will worry about wider tires when I get some after market 18's. But that's not in the budget right now. I will be happy to get it running and...

Just have to put the valve cover and carb on.  Everything else is done.  Hope to have it running by the weekend.  I am leaning towards the 235/255 combo.  I think the 275's will be too much for the 7" rims.  Since I'm ordering the tires off of ebay I don't want to get stuck with something that...

Ok just so I am clear. I CANT fit 275's on my 7" rims? Seems I've seen some say yes and some say no. If no what would look good with bigger on the rear than on the front? Tire sizes for front and rear??

So really for that I might as well go same size all the way around.  You're not going to be able to see 1/4" difference.  Basicaly unless I take the chance on the 275's on the rear I'm not going to get the look I want.   Thoughts??
