    Race Day at the Gasser Drags

    That's cool your track opened back up.Ours got shut down many years ago and we likely will never get another one.

    My 72 got a new stablemate.

    This was my first Boss purchase but not my first try at one.Back in 1987 I was 17 and was working in Dallas,Tx.Drove by a Ford dealer down there and spotted an older Mustang on the lot.I drove a 66 Coupe at the time.I pulled in to check it out.Well it was a 71 Boss 351 Yellow with black...

    15X10 wide magnum 500's

    Commonly available 8" Mag 500 with 4.5" bs works just fine with a 295/50.

    Cooper Cobra or BFgoodrich ?

    I have always preferred the BFG TA over Cooper Cobras.I had many different tires on my 66 years ago.As far as straight line traction the BFG always worked better for me and I feel they cornered better.The couple times I've had Cooper Cobras they just felt "slick" on the car.Ive always been happy...

    My 72 got a new stablemate.

    It's quite a difference between the two.The raw violent power of the big block in the 72 vs the more refined high winding Coyote.The Boss sure handles and stops better and gets at least twice the gas mileage.Its really cool to be able to experience the 40 year difference whenever I want.I think...

    To Be Or Not To Be...Original Or Modded?

    I like the way you think.I prefer to do my cars "factory" looking with big power.I tried to keep mine as subtle as I could.Mine appears somewhat original from the outside with the hood down.That all goes out the window when I start it though.Im giving up some power to keep everything below the...

    Points vs MSD electronic ignition?

    I've been thinking about getting Taylor wires.I like their blue better than Ford Racing.Do you like them?My best friend is the plant manager at Taylor,he gives me a hard time about my Ford racing wires.

    Matching paint

    So I've been kicking around the idea of painting my Harley to match my 72 Mach 1.I don't really like the paint on my Harley anyway I just bought it for the 110" engine.Im thinking about one stripe on the front and rear fender two stripes on top of the gas tank.Im wanting to do Harley Davidson on...

    Points vs MSD electronic ignition?

    Oh I have the red stuff on mine too,just not the dizzy.MSD coil and box.I may try to hide the box and do something with the coil someday.Im trying to do the wolf in sheeps clothing thing as much as I can.My engine is somewhat unassuming other than the SCJ-A heads maybe.Short Torker II...

    Points vs MSD electronic ignition?

    I have recurved Durasparks and MSD boxes in both of my old Fords.The 521 has a 6al and the 302 has the Street Fire box.Its the first thing I always upgrade.When I first got my 72 it had a 460 with points.Converted to DS and MSD box,they start better,less maintenance,don't know about running...

    Will 315's fit?

    No with regular hard street tires even a 315 is going to be a challenge.Like I said the 295 MT drag radials I have make a world of difference, they will still spin but it's controllable.BFG TA radial is like driving on ice I can spin them in high gear at 60-70 mph with a 3.50 gear depending on...
