    Gas smell

    This may or may not be relevant but, on stock configuration (carb) I had installed the big "rubber" seal for the filler neck upside down causing a fuel leak when tank was more than half full. Sorry if that is a non-helpful "hail Mary". Chuck

    Opinions needed

    I would contact Eaton and send them pictures and measurements. Someone at Eaton made a rather large mistake. As a side note, all 1965-1973 Mustangs had a bit of a "tail dragger" stance from the factory. Chuck

    Opinions needed

    It looks way high to me. What springs are installed? is everything seated properly? A ROUGH rule of thumb is however much you reduce the vertical height of the spring, the car will be lowered twice as much. Chuck

    Headers are tight on drivers side

    Also the mount adaptors, bolted to the frame, may be offset to one side. I've seen this a couple of times. Chuck

    Inner fender splash shields

    The ones near the A pillar (rear) are easy. More or less press fit and secured with hex head sheet metal screws. The front ones require quite a bit of work as they go between the core support and the fender frame. I can't remember all the steps but, it was a real PITA because I was mad at myself...

    429 SCJ Carburetor question

    I have never worked on an 429 SCJ Holley. However it sounds like Holley or Ford got in a hurry to me. A change in the idle channel restrictor and/or idle air bleed would have cured the rich idle problem. Just my two cents. Chuck

    C4 Trans Modulator / 2 Vacuum Lines

    Usually with a small thin flat screwdriver. Turn it in to shift later, out to shift sooner. However, the modulator engages a small diameter "pin". If it is not there it will never shift properly. The length is also within a narrow range on length. A very faded memory want to say about 1.625"...

    Overheating issue

    +1 on using a shroud properly (Sheriff1). Use an IR thermometer pointed at and relatively close to the thermostat housing for a more accurate temp reading...
