Can't wait to hear how the ride is with 35's. My 40's are not very user friendly on rough roads. I change the fuel pump in the work parking lot. My car sits so low I had to jack it up 8 inches just to get underneath 1t to remove the nut on the underside.

Well, the fuel pump was the source of some of the racket. I am once again back in business. I changed the pump in the work parking lot and my car seems to run a whole lot better than before. I will take on the rocker clatter soon. I will report out when I get around to it. New question...

Mike, nothing a pile of money and a decent mechanic can't solve. I suspected the fuel pump was intermittent but it is now dead. Fuel going in but nothing coming out. I will fix it tomorrow in my parking lot at work and try again. I think this might solve some of the issues I have been chasing.

Fuel pump took a crap today. I was stranded on the way to work so I found out how to pull it with a tow strap. Awesome.

Oil pressure gauge reads between 35 and 60 psi depending on position of gas peddle. At idle the car is at 35 to 40 psi when hot.

Kurt, my assumptions are that all was done correctly but the video tells otherwise. I agree that pulling the covers for a cursory check is the first thing that needs to be done. My car made a lot of noise before I brought it to the shop. Maybe the pushrods have been another problem from the...

I bought 50 sq ft on ebay for 60 bucks. I think 100 feet would have been better because I could have done trunk also at some point. These old cars are rattley and loud in my opinion. Will take a life time to find all the little noise makers.

What ratio rocker arm is required for a 351?

I am planning to buy the bits and pieces needed to put on adjustable rockers. Was hoping to find a kit with all the parts. Can't find one at Summit. IS there a standard push rod? 5/16 or 3/8 for a 72 Cleveland or take out and measure?

Is his the correct method. I like videos because it is a lot easier for me to follow. In other words, I am not a by the book kind of guy. I have successfully torn my sporty apart a gazillion times and this should be easy. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=piifbQtCzno

Did you buy it. I would love a 68 FB. Does it have a 390? From the look of it I would guess it is a 6 cylinder.

I did mine 2 weeks ago and all I can say is measure twice and cut once on the sill plates. Cutting the holes for seat bolts and the seat belts was a lot harder than I thought finding the holes. I also added stick on sound deadener. It was well worth the time to really quiet the cars. I will...

Hope he sells it, starting to make mine look a whole lot better.

If the heads were milled, wouldn't the pushrods be too long. That being the case, why would I have so much clatter? They did replace a few bent pushrods but I have no idea how they decided on length. I will call in the morning and ask. Is there an option to buy a rocker arm that can be...

My dipstick seems too long to me, what is the number of this 500 dollar dipstick?

I drove my orange mustang to the paint shop with the windows out, doors in the back seat and a pair of sun glasses. Evercoat high build primer was pretty easy to use even with my small compressor. I wore a mask and suit. I gave up halfway thru because I ran out of time. I paid 1600 for the...

I have 350 gears and I would say go with 3 or 275 if you are going to drive every day. My car may get unmodded on the rear end back to stock. I have no tach but it seems to wind higher than I like on the highway since I drive mine daily.

I want the boosted version in orange with brown and black interior. Just trying to justify it. Get a new one or drive the old one. I plan to drive the green one for a while and then see. .

No idea how much this reduces compression but they are dished and not cheap. http://www.summitracing.com/parts/uem-ic875-030

I would think if heads were milled the pushrods would end up too long, how would that create extra noise? Am I think about this wrong?
