What type of fan blades do you have? Is it solid or does it have the clutch? Is it for a 351C, do you have A/C, is it on when it’s running hot? Your fan blades should be into the shroud around 50-70% last time I looked depending on your blade configuration. I didn’t see in your posts whether the...

Sorry to bring politics into our site, my bad. All joking aside, if you have such vindictive neighbours I feel for you. Very unfamiliar with HOA’s and how they operate but I would dig right into what your rights are within the association to ensure there is no legal way you can be penalized for...

Hmm, maybe you're on to something. Perhaps a picture of a Prius on the car cover would go over better in this neighbourhood? I am just not the 'give in' type of person. A compromise would be ok if there was any substance to the complaint but I just don't see it.

If I haven't said it recently, I love this car!

Seriously? Some people have nothing better to do than try to cancel anyone else they disagree with. This is simply a matter of taste and the HOA (or should I say the 'Karen' on the HOA) is simply lacking. Shine the tires and keep the car clean. Make sure it never has an oil leak and start...

There is an answer for the ‘73 Vert mounts if you have old ones.

Had the same issue with my Global West UCA's. The pivot was rubbing against the outside of the shock tower. I checked the website for Global West and they said just shim it out, which is fine with me as long as I can still get good camber when the weight is back on the car after the restoration...

Second that motion! If you are driving your car with a restrictor plate instead of the designed thermostat it is a ticking time-bomb, in my opinion. Just go to YouTube and search for 'The Correct 351C Thermostat' and watch a couple of videos. Without the thermostat these Clevelands DO NOT...

Keep it as simple as you can. If you are looking for an easier time keeping up on the freeway then do an AOD or 4R70W swap. Lots of guys on this site (including myself) have done this. The end benefit is you have the same car with a bit more top speed that costs you less gas. I don't subscribe...

Did you replace your harmonic balancer during the rebuild? Sounds like maybe it is old and the rubber between rings has dried to the point it has slipped. You will never get your timing right again with that balancer if it's bad, it will need to be replaced if that is your issue. This is an...

Love it, hope mine looks as nice when it’s finished.

Very nice, that stuff is not cheap.

Alls well that ends well! Head scratcher.

Was the battery connected when you were welding? When you have it started check your voltage to see if you are getting charging voltage. Might have fried the alternator when welding. When it dies does it just quit or does it sputter a bit?

Nice engine bay. I see fuel rails, what type of ignition system are you running there, I am setting up an EEC-V from a 2004 Town Car for SEFI Coil on Plug? Also interested in the serpentine system as well as the type of A/C compressor. That is exactly what I am looking for on my build.

That is one beauty of an engine bay, nice work!

I am not an expert in wiring but it sounds like your partial power in off mode might be a ground loop. Did you take your ground back to the main harness ground at your engine or transmission? If you take it back to one of those main points you will keep the same ground as the charging system...

I like your serpentine set up. Did you buy it as a kit or junkyard scrounge?

My guess would be fuel line damage during the installation process. If one of your exhaust pipes dropped on the drivers side near the fuel tank outlet you may have pinched the steel line coming out of the tank or pinched the fuel line elsewhere during the install. If there is just a small...

Do it up and post pictures. If you don’t like it do it again a different way.
