I would like to amend my previous comment Re: The economy, we have been gas lit that the economy is better than ever. There is not an honest economist out there that considers 20% inflation in less than 4 years a positive metric. Ron

I currently have BFG 235/60/15 on 15 x 7 Magnums 500s . Before that I had Yokohama AVS 235/60/15s which have been out of production for years. They were great V rated tires and were super sticky. I like the BFGs except that they have doubled in price since I last purchased them. I am looking at...

My booster on my August of 71 built 72 went bad about 12 years ago. I hooked up my vacuum pump to the booster to confirm that it was wasted (held no vacuum at all). I got my replacement from Stainless steel brakes. I kept my original and ate the core charge. So far so good on the booster. It fit...

It is on backwards. But I will give the benefit of the doubt that the engine is only in it's mock -up stage. God bless his enthusiasm and really nice work. Great shop as well. Ron

Welcome from RI. Nice Mach 1.

Mc Lovin.

I bought my Mazda 6 from Tasca. They relocated located to Cranston RI several years ago after moving from East Providence RI (where all that 428 CJ magic happened) their current dealership is enormous. I got a tour of their secret stash of collectables and drag race cars when I was there a...

I have a Bend Pak 10K pound capacity 2 post asymmetrical. I have had it for 9 years and like you I picked it because it carries the various important safety certifications. Unfortunately they have doubled in price since I bought mine. I have used the hell out of it with no issues. Ron

Did you degree your cam when you installed it? If you didn't did you install it straight up as in not advanced or ********. It sounds like your cam timing is advanced which will increase cylinder pressure and will cause detonation. Typically advancing the cam a couple of degrees will help...

They operate the same way here, even if there is a rumor of ice. Got to use up all that salt. It will probably freeze again before it is all over. I am sure there will be another salt fest. lol. Ron

I have to wait until tomorrow when the rain comes and washes away all the salt on the roads. They love to dump lots of salt on the roads in RI.

I have a small bottle attached to my overflow hose. It is not very noticeable. I prefer to keep coolant off the floor of my garage floor. The amount of coolant that ends up in the bottle is minimal. I have pets and ethylene glycol is poisonous to animals. My wife is a pathology tech at RI's...

I have a 2750 on my engine with a Holley 4160 (that I converted to a 4150 by adding a sec metering block) 600 cfm vacuum secondary. I like the set up I have. I did not block the exhaust cross over under the Carb. When I first installed the manifold I left the crossover blocked and it did not run...

Inflation does stink. I think I have the solution to it. Vote out you know who.

What cam did you run when you dynoed it? I managed over 300 HP @ 4600 rpm and my torque was 357 @ 3600 rpm using the original 2 barrel open chamber heads. I have a Comp flat tappet cam with a grind similar to the 71 CJ cam. I have a 72 H code. Ron

Is your engine presently equipped with 2 barrel open chamber heads?

I have never been a fan of Mecum. That auction tends to present a lot cars that are worthy of being sold at the local shady used car lot. I would not call the Mustang in question a total hack job. It does leave a lot to be desired for what they were asking. The painted chrome front bumper would...

Welcome fellow 72 Mach 1 H code owner. From frosty RI. Ron

That **** show is just one of the many signs of the coming Armageddon. $7500? I rather spend that on hair gel and scratch tickets. Both of which I dislike. Ron

God speed. We will all love to keep track of your progress. Ron
