    advice needed: roller rocker install, setting lash

    Can any of you list exactly what you bought. My valvetrain is loud and I think it is wrong length pushrods so I think this would be an easy fix with performance upside.

    1972 Mustang Coupe Tire & Wheel Combo

    I have 17's with 245 rear and 225 front and I was planning to go to larger tires to get a little more rubber on the road. There is plenty of room in the wheel wells. It does make the ride far stiffer and less forgiving. I lowered my car quite a bit to look right when it was all said and done.

    led dash lights

    I put the Superbrights in my car today and they still wont light but stock bulbs work. I have no clue what is next other than changing the light switch. No light at all but lights fine with 7605 or whatever they are. At least I am competent at taking the dash out fast. Takes about 15 minutes...

    H&K USP Expert

    I had a usp 45 and it was a great auto. Even though it was a 45 it was easier to shoot that the 9mm Ruger we took out to get my wife started. She preferred the 45 because it was so nice to shoot.

    Any 71-73 Daily Drivers?

    I am looking forward to driving mine in the snow for the first time. Just curious, what mufflers do most of you use. Mine has Magna Flow and they are way too loud on the highway. I run at 70 miles per hour at 3500 rpms and that is the sweet spot for noise. I asked for quiet mufflers and I am...

    Any 71-73 Daily Drivers?

    I drive mine 6 to 7 days a week approximately 36 miles daily back and forth to work. I am still working the bugs out but Month one worked out fairly well minus my fuel pump going south on the way to work one day but I fixed it in the parking lot and drove it back home. I keep a bag of tools in...

    IMCO muffler questions

    I have to very careful with my long tube headers because I only have about 3 inches of ground clearance at the tubes. I would not get longtubes for the sake of ground clearance if you will be lowering your car at all.

    Fuel delivery question regarding fuel pump

    Thought that too about adjustment except my Summit adjusts the same and site level adjustments there stay perfect where I can't get the secondary bowl to adjust and it floods out the front from the crossover tube. I changed the needle and seat and still same, suspect float problem. May go...

    Fuel delivery question regarding fuel pump

    I was just looking at 4160 carbs and thought the non adjustable float part sounds really good to me. What is the deal with the non adjustable part, I really like that idea.

    Fuel delivery question regarding fuel pump

    I still have the clakity clack but it is tolerable until I get adjustable rockers. I am also thinking I will get an Edelbrock carb also. My car ran better with the Holley other than hard starting and flooding the bowls occasionally. The Holley seems to be impossible to set the bowls and the...

    Edelbrock carb installed! Woohoo!

    I have a new Summit carb on my 351C but it ran better with Holley when it is not flooding and hard as hell to start. I will get a 4106 next week and give that a try. Setting floats with site windows is a lovely feature. Hoping Fuel economy gets better too. This baby drinks like an elephant.

    What did you do to your car today?

    Nice car indeed Eric. I jetted up to 70 mains and it is running much better. I think I am getting close on the mains so next it is time to understand how the secondaries work so I know how to adjust that fuel circuit. Seems like it comes in too early to me and stumbles a bit before it gets up...

    Fuel delivery question regarding fuel pump

    I decided to try my Holley carb out on the car. It worked great until it did not. I think it has a bad float because all was good and then the front bowl filled to the brim and flooded out the car. I got it running again and it did the same thing again. It ran much faster with the holley so...

    Slam!

    Mine need a good bit of juice to seal properly, I guess I need to adjust?

    Fuel delivery question regarding fuel pump

    Quick question, how much pressure should I need to exert on the pneumatic switch that closes off water to the heater core. Should it be really easy or middle pressure.

    1971-73 Mustangs: Why are they the least liked ?

    I get more thumbs up on my green Mustang in the last three weeks going back and forth to work than I ever got with my beautiful Burnt orange 65 coupe. Most people are not really sure what it is. That part cracks me up.

    Reupholstering seats...

    I did my passenger seat with safety wire and learned that I needed safety wire. My drivers seat came out much better and took way less time. Safety wire pierces the foam easily and was easier to manipulate. I plan to redo my passenger seat some day but there is no hurry.

    Reupholstering seats...

    I used 50 thousandths aircraft safety wire and my trusty safety wire pliers on mine. I like the idea that I can tighten to desired amount and the cut and roll it over and be done with it.
