I have to laugh but I feel your pain.

I plan on adding an electronic fuel pump and when I do I will wire a kill switch. I did this with my Jeep, which is also carbureted. Like my Jeep I will add a second key switch, probably hidden in the ashtray or in the center console, and a small speaker that sounds when the fuel pump is...

I have one avocado seat back hinge cover if anyone is interested.

I have run both the hooker short/long tube. Here is a thread where I swapped them out with some comparison shots. https://7173mustangs.com/threads/hooker-headers-super-comp-to-comp-swap.9908/

Handsome car. The black top looks good and I love the wheels for your car.

That's a little high but not excessive. As soon as you goose the throttle the vacuum advance drops as well as with any decent load on the engine it should drop the vacuum advance to zero. When you are idling or in cruise mode the higher timing is fine and expected. Do you have a timing light...

Getting the carb back to 'stock' is a solid plan. The car should run pretty well in that configuration. If it doesn't then you can focus on other aspects first. I am not super experienced with performance tuning but have spent a fair amount of time under the hood. I also keep spread sheets...

Even in primer these cars look bad ***!

Remember you'd walk into the local parts store and they'd have a basket of 'Cherry Bomb' mufflers. The good old days. I sport a pair of glasspacks. I just like the sound.

Greetings. To be clear, the engine will not crank with the key turned to start but will crank if you provide battery power to the S post on the solenoid. You get a 6V reading from the wire that is connected to the S terminal when the key is turned to the start position. I assume this is...

While not crazy that's a fairly stout cam. And the rest of your build, including tranny/converter/gears, would indicate the college student you was after quick off the line performance. You mention it doesn't run correctly focusing on performance. How does it idle and cruise? What is your...

I wonder what the factory used? I am pretty sure the light didn't stay on if the passenger didn't fasten their seat belt. I always thought it would be fun to wire into the throttle somehow.

The one you posted is "10 second delay before switching On". He wants it on for 10 second and then have it turn off.

Hello from Phoenix. I am excited you've got a younger person wanting to carry on with these cars.

I never purchased an entire kit but I did buy some end tubes, the ones that go over the rear axle and they didn't fit right. Be especially wary if your car has been modified. I have always found that going to an exhaust shop is the best option. They work around whatever is there.

That's Awesome!

I am hopeful but weary. 'Starting fluid doesn't help'. Even with a junked up carb the engine should have run for a moment or two with starting fluid.

Confirm it is a Cleveland and not a Windsor or easier to confuse a 351M. Then make an offer.

If you have fuel and spark it should at least kinda try to start. Do you get any backfires while cranking?

Welcome from Phoenix! Good looking ride!
