The kickdown and and throttle arrangement on the Edelbrock is not as straightforward as a Holley. The Edelbrock is wider therefore your stock throttle cable bracket has to modified to line up with the throttle lever. I ran an Edelbrock 1406 when I first went to a 4 barrel. I changed over to a...

It is not a good scene out there Re: parts/rebuilders. 80% of them are ******** artists. Patience and persistence will get you to your goal. As I said bleeding it will not solve your problem. If it does not make pressure right away, then it is is junk.

I have been down this road with bad P/S pumps. I had to replace my original pump several years ago when my PS box blew a seal while on the road. I knew I was going to trash the pump but made it home. It took 3 pumps until I got one that worked. Very frustrating indeed. I am sure the rebuilt...

I agree Spike. I developed an aversion to painting and body work sometime in my early 20s. I was a master at painting model airplanes as a kid. I also did some *** saving body work for friends in high school when they dinged up their parents cars. None of them got in trouble. I was proud of...

Uh oh! Better get Maaco! Yikes. Probably okay for a beater mobile.

Accel products are dubious to say the least. I would stay clear of them. I have used the same MSD epoxy filled high vibration coil for the last 20+ years with no issues in conjunction with A gen 1 Pertronix ignitor and an MSD 6A (older USA made version). Ron

Really nice example. Ron

I would not change my color from 2b red although I get annoyed when people call it orange in certain light conditions, If I changed anything I would go with a more deeper blood red. At this point paying my absurd property taxes and utilities is my bigger priority. We all are getting poorer...

That is great information and thank you. You rock. I will check the part number on my original flip open cap and let you and everyone know what it is. I have a repro flip open on my car because a few years ago my cap hinge broke when I opened it to refuel. I was beyond pissed to say the least...

My 72 Mach 1 is an August of 71 build and came equipped with an Autolite flip open cap. I assume Ford was using up what they had left in their inventory before changing over to the twist caps. My car is also early enough not to have the passenger side seat belt reminder light installed. These...

I have Hagerty and thankfully have not needed it. My policy began being underwritten by Essentia as of a few years ago. I asked my agent about it and he convinced me to keep things as they are. I am paying $300 a year for full coverage. RI insurance rates are on the high side for everything. The...

Question of the day is: Just why?

It looks really good. Nice job.

As far as I know there are no dyno diagrams. The horsepower ratings at the time were measured @ the flywheel. You have to take into account that as of 1972 and thereafter all horsepower was calculated by the SAE net system as opposed to the pre-72 gross method. IE: the engine output was measured...

Yes, the mount on the left is not correct for 71-73 cars. Ron

Ok. I said what I said only because as far as the Cleveland goes there are other options. I don't hate Comp really. I have one of their cams in my engine. Hey, my wife is a mad Irishwoman so lets get along. Ron

I agree with the other guys. Keep your original radiator. If it has issues get it re-cored. Ron

There is a grease seal for the inner bearing. It is pressed with light effort into the machined recess of the rotor behind the inner bearing. It is absolutely necessary that one is installed. Any shop manual will show the orientation. The seal is available from several suppliers. Ron

Have you placed an ad on social media to locate the screwdrivers owner? :LOL:

That may save you a few bucks. That is a good thing. Especially needed these days. As I said before avoid Comp if you can. Comp is more enthusiastic about GM products than Ford products. Ron
