    First time set down on new suspension

    Mine sits at 24.5” up font and 26” out back. No headers, no rubbing.

    First time set down on new suspension

    I recently went through the same process. At its lowest point (similar height to yours) it handled beautifully, very responsive and tracked great. However it really wasn’t practical as a driver. So I lifted it a bit, and while still lower in the front it doesn’t rub anywhere, and still handles...

    Do you have the two rear corner plastic trim panels that join on each side of the trap door opening of the rear deck? If so, and they’re in decent shape I’m interested. Thnax

    Leaky front crank seal.

    Looks like I found the issue with that pesky leak. First off, thanks to all who chimed in. That info helped me gain perspective on other issues I hadn’t considered. The leak was apparently caused by excessive crankcase pressure. Caused by a less than brilliant operator (me) idea. To be...

    Leaky front crank seal.

    Thanks guys, I’ll start with the easy ones first…… which is to get a spacer for the carb that will accommodate a vacuum port for the PCV. Currently not pulling off the crankcase, so I’ll fix that. Thanx Matt and Midlife. Next I’ll look into the presence of an oil slinger. Hopefully I can view...

    Leaky front crank seal.

    Thanks for all tips folks. Here’s a few of my thoughts going forward. Crankcase pressure has my attention now as a possibility. I put on an older (70) 428 Holley on the car late last year and it didn’t have the hose barbed base plate for the PCV line. So presently the only vent I know of is...

    Leaky front crank seal.

    After replacing the front main seal on my boss, it continues to leak. I’ve changed it twice. I’ve sleeved it with a kit. Still leaks a drop or so after running. Any secret to installing the damper? I’ve used plenty of lube, SLOWLY seated it on the crank, no other way due to the snug fit. This...

    Color of front fender to bumper fillers from Daniel Carpenter… Grey not black?

    Looks right to me, as a stock application. They were gray from Ford.

    Removing oil pan

    I’ve removed mine by simply removing the front stabilizer bar first. A couple of bolts, drop the bar and pull the pan out through the front.

    Door glass popping out at speed

    I’ve dealt with this problem. My fix was to read up on the correct way to mount the window panes and regulators into the door or body. Mine did the same thing yours are doing, and if you were outside of the car with windows up and pushed inward on the top of the window, mine would actually move...
