    is it worth it??????

    I am going to see if it runs once I get it. The engine turns over by hand, so hopefully I can get it started. I was told by the prior owner that it had no spark and he could not get it started.

    is it worth it??????

    Well I didn't buy this car last fall, I forgot about it and figured it sold. Well just a few days ago I saw this car on craigslist for sale and they wanted $350 for it, so I bought it today. It has a clear title and is in better shape than the pictures shown it to be. I have not picked it up...

    initial timing

    I need an idea where to set my initial timing on my engine. The engine is a 97 Ford 5.8 that I put in my 73 Mustang. It is basically stock except for the Edelbrock Performer intake, Holley 600 cfm carb, headers and an MSD didtributor with a 6AL box. The stock setting for a 97 5.8 is around 6-8...

    I put a 5.8 out of a 97 F250 in my 73 Mustang, but I went the carb route instead of EFI.

    PCV... to be or not to be

    If you cannot find a new PVC valve at a parts store, go to your local junkyard and find a used one. Throw it in a small bowl of laquer thinner for a few hours. After a few hours take it out and see if it rattles. If it does, take a can of brake clean and insert the hose in the top and bottom of...

    suggestion on how to remove mirror

    How do you get the side view mirrors off the door when the screw just turns round and round and does not come out. The screw is rusted into the lock nut that is in the door. Preferrably I would like to get the screw out without damaging the door or the mirror.

    More Paint Tips Sought

    The reason rattle can paint takes forever to dry is that it is un catalyzed acrylic enamel. If you spray too heavy of a coat on, you trap solvent in the lower layers. There is no chemical reaction involved with rattle can paint. Therefore the solvent has to leave the paint through evaporation...

    72 Grande Parts

    Racer X is the person who has first dibs on the cowl if it is good. The car has the all the markers lights. I will have to see if they are broken up where you twist the light bulb into, common breaking point on those things.

    Largest Mustang Salvage?

    I have talked to them on the phone about four years ago, but have never been there. I was in need of a pass side fender for a 73 and they wanted like $600 for one that needed work. I was lucky and found a good one on craigslist for $50.

    Rear End

    72's you have to be careful, some of them have 31 spline carriers, 71's and earlier are a safe bet for finding a 28 spline carrier.
