    Clunk on front end

    Great points, thank you giantpune. Hopefully the rain holds off tonight as I will be under a carport but, getting wet will be worth it if I find the issue. I will report back when I know something. Thanks. Tom

    New jets

    Sorry to take so long to update this thread, I had a little time to pull the carb a few days ago and dropped the carb primary jets down to 74 from 77 and the secondary from 79 to 76. After doing that the car runs great. No issues with idle. I pulled the plugs and changed them (forgot to take...

    Great service from West Coast Classic Cougar

    Great service and parts, I have only used them a few times but they were great experiences. Also, I agree with the praise about their YouTube channel. They help a lot to keep these cars on the road. Tom

I will pull the carb and check the power valves over the next couple of day and see if they are reversed as well as verify the jet numbers. The part number of the carb I have is SUM-M08750VS (electric choke). This has been...

    Got tired of bottoming out. Brand new tires are no longer at risk

    Great job, I just did mine a few months ago as well. Didn't like the extended shackles and the leafs themselves were pretty flat. Overall, it was not the nightmare that I was expecting, everything came apart pretty easy with nothing seized up or requiring to be cut. Tom

    Hood Locks

    Jeff does have a great channel and is pretty knowledgable. He and his shop are only about 30-45 minutes away from me and he has offered to come by my home to assist me with my build if I needed it. To me, that says a lot about him caring about these old cars and keeping them on the road. I have...

    Hood Locks

    I have installed the hood locks just because of the ornamental aspect, it's a matter of personal preference. I also installed the ram air, I have the round springs and have left my hood open many times and never had the wind blow it down any and have never had any issues with it lowering on its...

I was told $13 a month for upgrading my wife's car from a 2017 to a 2019 and may 2016 to a...

    Ram Air install with Petronix Billiet distributor

    Spike, I am not sure where you're "to begin with" or "I just didn't look far enough" statements come from but they are not appreciated. There are multiple other posts that state you cannot run a ram air with a pertronix billet distributor, this thread is to show others that if they want to, they...

    Dome light question

    Marc, I ended up using only 3 mounting screws and brought the power wire down through the dome light assembly and mounting it to the inside of the light to the power leg terminal. It was definitely a pain but at least there is no short to ground now and the light works. Good luck Marc and I hope...

    What did you get for Christmas?

    My daughter got me a hoodie with a 1970 Mach 1 pic on it, my son got me a gift card for window tinting and my wife forgot to get me anything. Sounds about right, she was enjoying the new Expedition that I bought her last week. Tom
