    Just in time for Christmas

    Since they do custom, I wonder if they would slide the rear spoiler back a bit and set it more flat.

    Found this weather seal placement amusing

    Anyone have the right stuff at a decent price? Mine is really old, dry rotted and crushed down so badly it's not sealing anymore.

    Trouble with ram air fitting on 429

    You are cutting off all of the flat vertical rise. The angled part remains but gets trimmed down just a bit.

    Trouble with ram air fitting on 429

    I brought it down to where there is only a 3/8 visible gap with the rubber off. This is the perfect amount to still get the gasket back on with nothing left to spare.

    Trouble with ram air fitting on 429

    No. I cut right under the top ring that the rubber attaches to. I then cut the "riser" area for lack of a better word until there was just enough to re-tack the top ring and get the gasket to fit. I can get you some more dimensions and photos if needed. I thought about some doble sided tape or...

    Trouble with ram air fitting on 429

    Here's where I got 1/2" out of the air cleaner. The rubber gasket used to sit 1/2" above the rim. Now it sits right on the rim. Only a Concours judge would catch that, and I'm not even sure most of them would either.

    Trouble with ram air fitting on 429

    Yes. A 73 had taller captured mounts and shoter mount pedistals to make up for that difference. I used the shorter 71-72 mounts combined with my shorter 73 pedistals. Got me 5/8" down. The rest I took from the air cleaner. I'm not sure what the options are on a 71 429, but it might be worth...

    Trouble with ram air fitting on 429

    I had this problem on my 73 Q code. I know it's different in a lot of ways, but I made mine work by using the shorter 71-72 mounts and the 73 shorter pedistals and trimming a bit from my air cleaner. You can't tell though. It still looks completely stock. I'd look into shorter pedistals and...

    Problem found with Hella LED conversion headlights.

    That looks like a nice piece Geoff. Even though I'm in AZ and I don't take my car in the rain, I'd buy a set of those once you feel they are perfected.

    Which lift is preferred (2 post or 4 post)?

    I've always felt safer working under a 4 post. I also didn't want to drill into my garage floor as it's Post Tension Slab and you don't want to risk hitting a cable. I like being able to move the 4 post also, although I've only had to once.

    What did you do to your car today?

    Learned how to bend and flare fuel lines. Never tried before. Went pretty well actually.

    Allegedly 1 of 1 PW window 73 Convertible

    It's the way Kevin Marti sorts the data. Yours is 1 of 1 with power windows that have those wheels. Those wheels represent 10 of 82 that also had black power tops. etc. Nothing about these cars is truly rare, but it's still neat when you have a 1 of 1 Marti report. He can't get there with most...

    Very nice Geoff! They look proper. Most folks would look right past them.

    Gas Cap Gasket

    The stuff I linked above is 1/16" thick. Your original gasket is closer to 5/64. I felt 1/8" would be way too thick. 2 years in mine still looks fantastic and I've never smelled gas once I installed it. I can also see a noticeable ring on the gasket now which shows me it's got full seal all the...

    Gas Cap Gasket

    This is what Stanglover and I both used. Worked great on my end. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07B41RW16/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 One 6x6 piece will make 4 gaskets.

    Testing my patience

    Do NOT try to find a different cable that will work better. Trust me, I learned the hard way. Just buy one of these and be done with it. The additional return springs will also help return your Holley to a more consistent idle RPM coming off the throttle...
