It was resting on the radiator hose between manifold and hot hose. I changed it around a bit and moved it away from the heat. My carb came with a funky gasket similar to the one shown. I used a plastic 1 inch spacer on the manifold for now.

Well, picked it up today and it stalled on me 10 miles from the place. Think the fuel was boiling in the filter since I saw it bubbling. Car runs fine but is hard to start. Tweaked the distributor to the left a hair and now it start immediately. Think the harmonic balancer may have slipped...

Picked my car up today and it looks great lowered. I was reasonably happy going home till it stalled and left me sitting in the Walmart parking lot. I saw bubbles in the fuel filter and it looking it might have vapor locked. I let it sit for a while and it started reluctantly. I think I...

The underside of the car was not very pretty but an interesting car none the less. The front is a love it or hate it feature and I happen to love it. Is the Cyclone the high end version of the Montego? They relisted the Mustang 7kplus.

These guys have a lot of interesting cars for sale. I saw atleast 5 I would gladly drive like this one...

No doubt the car is crapped up but someone out there wanted it to look like that and somebody else might be out there that likes it too. I agree, the car is hideous but I am not in the market for a back to the future looking car with 80's styling cues. I figured that out once I saw the...

I like the yellow Comet on ebay for that price much better than the green for 42K Great looking car the 70. Never seen one at a show. Front end is a luv it or hate it feature that I think looks awesome. The orange Comet GT is from the same shop as the ugly 72 Stang with the ugly body...

As long as you are getting regular meals at home all this applies. Lees is more does not hold true in this case. Some women don't appear to understand what "keep his stomach full and balls empty" means.

Yes, long tube headers. This is how I bought the car. Are you saying with cable or traditional shift linkage it would require mods?

I would suspect a well used 40 year old windshield would not take kindly to claybar would it? Lets say there is some pitting and such.

Learned something new here again. I had a kickdown on my c4 but my FMX does not have one. I guess my suspicion that it was missing it correct. Now I need to decide on cable or other. Hope you get it figured out.

Say what you will about the car, the pictures should at least tell you enough to make a purchase decision. I have to give them credit for being thorough even though the car is not so beautiful.

I pick it up Monday. I forgot to mention rear brake job, axel seals replaced, new shackles rear and lower front springs to improve stance. The 700 was for manifold, cams, lifters, shackles, not sure what the head rebuild charge was but I suspect 500 bucks or so. I pick it up Monday, he...

I used safety wire on the driver seat instead of hog rings and I was done in an hour. the passenger side took 4 or 5 hours of cussing to get the hog rings in the right place. I also was bleeding all over the place from the sharp edges of the seat frame. I will pull the cover on the passenger...

It is stupid, not insane. The air scoop looks like crap to boot.

You did a nice job, do you sit taller in the car now?

Final tally. 4 bad exhaust valves, Head rebuild, Cam ok but changed, Lifters o'k but changed to go with new milder cam, intake likely cracked and changed to dual plane Edelbrock, starter solenoid replaced because if slow starter turn off, voltage regular and alternator changed because...

Still no measurements. How high is the pan supposed to be? wouldn't that affect the carpet fit as well?

What is the measurement of the pan height. I will have the carpet removed next weekend and I will measure to see if some more work is required. Don't want my head rubbing the head liner. I did do a complete seat rebuild including foam and covers.

Well, I guess it will be next week. Engine is all back together. Last job was to find what was draining my battery. I was told the voltage regulator and alternator was shot. The alternator was fire hot and he said it had a melted Diode(I think). Car is said to be running great but he...
