    New toy

    I honestly don't know. Just found it at the goodwill down the road. My radio isn't currently installed so I can't test it.

    Gauge reads hot with lights on

    When I step on the brakes the temp gauge tick up. When i turn on the headlights it does it worse. Doing both is enough to peg it. I'm assuming bad ground, but I don't know where to look.

    71 429 cj vert engine tear down...

    So here's the thing. People come on here to get the opinions of others. I gave mine. Pastel Blue already decided to replace the part. Great, our opinions inform they don't decide. But you have gotten on your soapbox twice now to shout me down, and that is uncalled for. So, since you've called...

    Ok. You don't have to use parts you're not comfortable with. Just thought I would speak up so you know not everyone is in consensus that the part is bad.

    I disagree on the needing a new timing cover. Where the hole is there is just a void behind it so no water will go in the block. Also if your water pump has a back plate water wont be in that part of the timing cover to begin with.

    exhaust leak at slip coupling

    My 302 still has the stock single exhaust. At the point where the pipes converge into one the junction leaks. I can tell because there is smoke coming out there(crud burning off from the car sitting 3 yrs) Is there a trick to sealing this? Or do I just tighten the u-bolt some more?

    Fuel Pump Adventures

    So, on the quest to get my car running I set out to get a replacement fuel pump. I usually have an old ford of some sort so this is common buy for me. Today however I found out that these thing are in short supply. The guy at Advance Auto Parts (formerly Carquest) couldn't even pull it up on his...

    Nice bare metal vert just down the road

    It looks sweet, but I have to say I hate engine covers, even ones as nice as his.

    Losing my mustang

    So, on Tuesday I went back with a car dolly in a hail mary attempt to save the mustang. I got about halfway across the "driveway" before the trailer got stuck. I had to unhitch in order to get my truck out, just leaving the mustang in the muck. I was pretty defeated at the end of the night...

    Losing my mustang

    We're currently trying to to do just that. It might work out. I'll be moving to Ingersoll. My folks already moved there about 2 years ago with my brother. They have an old ranch house there that was separated out for three families at one point.

    Losing my mustang

    I know I don't post very often, but you guys are the only ones I can share this with. In Jan of 2013 I moved from Henderson, NV to Glide, OR. My mustang sorta ran before going up but was taken out of commission by a tranny problem shortly after arriving, and I didn't have the money to fix it. It...

    Big Block or Small Block

    I've heard it called a midblock. I generally consider it the 460's little brother, since they were both designed about the same time.

    460 Build

    Finally got my hands on some heads, D0VE-C's. I think the previous owner converted them to adjustable screw in stud which will help because i want a roller setup. The mad porter's site is already a great reference and I haven't even subscribed yet...
