    Is it NASA or NACA?

    My memory kinda sucks but I am almost sure it is referred to both ways in Fords own documentation. I can't find it right now but I do believe the Ford docs have been posted on this sight showing it both ways. NACA was the predecessor to NASA which developed the duct.

    Cal Tracs

    "Traction Bars"(misnomer) They use the front leaf spring mount and attach to the bottom of the axle to keep the axle from twisting under hard acceleration, generally on take off. Potentially saving drive line from damage or failure from occuring. They have been around for many many years for...

    Reupholstering seats...

    Great idea Kit in recent years I find more and more uses for zip strips. I am finding they are one hell of a great invention for so many reasons. They have helped more times than I can remember.

    Dynacorn Door Shell

    Personally I would rather replace a whole door instead of skins. I have never dealt with just a damaged skin usually the lower is rusted to **** in my experience where the skin attachs to also.

    Old "Urban Legends" about vehicles: True or False?

    Most vehicles in recent years(little weary of saying all) cycle the AC Compressor on and off anyway during normal driving. That way it continues to circulate the oil throughout the system. That was part of the problem with older AC Systems. The compressor cyles on alot of vehicles when ever the...

    The venerable Mach 1 convetible

    I have agree they wrote the add as the car is without trying to beat around the bush. I love a good restomod but I always have to question the quality of work no matter what the owner/seller says. I have seen way to many hatchet jobs over the years. That and the use of custom parts can be a...

    New 351c Build.

    So what did it cost ya? I looked and looked for a few years to find a block that looked like that with no luck. Most were left to rust with no way to tell if they were in good or bad shape. Add that to the fact that the prices were out of control for a crap shoot and I ended up going with a...

Prior to ordering the wheels and tires I put alot of time on here reading your threads amongst many others to find what the...

    New Wheels and Tires Ordered

    Keep in mind it is a 275/40r17 so it is 30mm wider than your tires. When I input everything into a tire calculator the fronts are stock height if I remember right. The rears I ordered are about 8mm taller. So the sidewall should be ok I hope. Plus I was limited on tire size and brand when trying...

    New Wheels and Tires Ordered

    I think they will look good and just the right size for our cars. I can't thank yall enough for the wealth of tire and wheel info around here. I think the hardest part was finding tires that were the same manufacturer and model front and rear.

    Top Gear got thrown out of Argentina

    I have no problems enjoying good British humor. Jeremy most often times though is nothing short of an offensive ****** most of the time.

    Why such negativity?

    Very good discussion, grown ups don't have to agree on everything to appreciate or respect what we do. Its when people start acting petty over ****. One nice thing about this site compared to many other car sites I frequent. Another thread brought up the fact that one or some other Moostang...
