Not yet. I thought that maybe this would work it’s way out while driving. I’m sure I got air in it last year when I had to replace the S tube. So many ways to bleed. 1) disconnect return hose from reservoir, slowly crank engine with a full reservoir until bubble free fluid is coming out 2)...

Still playing with the power steering. It sounds like crap and really loads the engine down. Lots to fix for drivability. This thing is frustrating. Kcmash

Ok, I checked the vacuum again today. The gage jumps rapidly between 0 and 15 when idling at 900. When I bring the idle up to 1300, the vacuum normalizes around 10. I tried spraying starting fluid around the intake and found no change in idle. This has me thinking I need to go back to a...

A fellow Ford friend here gave me the name of a reputable gear and axel house close by. They rebuild gear sets, balance driveshafts, etc. I think it is worth it to give them a try. Kcmash

After many trials and tribulations I am back to this topic. Drove down the highway today for a cars and coffee. Vibration starts at around 50 mph regardless of the gear i am in. When coming offf the highway I put the clutch down and still had the vibration. This really pointed to the...

I have not checked my vacuum lately. When breaking the engine in and trying to tune it, I had a lot of jump in the needle, so much that it was impossible to get a reading. Also the Ram Air flappers would clatter as they open and close. I have re-torqued the intake a couple times, set the...

Since putting the new engine in with the cam specs above I have had poor vacuum assist on my brakes. Should I hunt for a vacuum leak, or am I just SOL with this cam? What happens if the booster goes bad? Do you get poor assist? Thanks, kcmash

How do I know when they are bled. 20 plus cycles with the car off, then it overflows at the stops when cycling while running. Let me know. Kcmash

That is helpful information. Considering I bought this car from the original owners I know it had the correct motor and I know how strong it blew in the 80s. I could have the wrong replacement motor as stated above. At this time I cannot recall if I switched fan boxes during restoration. The...

I just did the motor and used my old fan blades. I noticed something similar on my Wifes Expedition when I replaced the rear fan. It seemed to get better with time. kcmash

Bump! Am I the only one with this issue?

OK, last year I replaced the blower motor in my heater box with a new 4 Seasons blower motor. The original had a squealing bearing, so I went with new. Now when I run the fan in the car, it feels like it has about me 50% of the speed the original had. It is quiet, but the air speed out the...

I like the grabber colors. Grabber Yellow or Grabber Lime with black stripes, or like mine Grabber Blue with Argent Stripes.

How much are you asking? PM, I may be interested if Idaho Chris is not.

I jacked the rear end up on mine. Pulled the engine and tranny together and re-installed the same way. That was with just the hood removed. kcmash

I used the TMI covers for mine and I am happy. BE SURE to order the seat medallions too and install before putting the covers on the seat frames. kcmash

Well, the coil and condensor have resolved my backfire problem. So that one is past me. I have crappy power assist right now on the brakes. I also have the power fluctuation when trying to maintain any speed. Acceleration, is fine with no bogging, but any attempt to hold a steady speed has...

MAKE SURE you are using the correct clips. Earlier Mustangs used a heavier guage clip and steel trim. They look the same, but the aluminum trim on a 71 is about half the thickness and therefore a lighter clip that will work on the aluminum. AMK Products Front Window Molding Retainer Clip Set...

Do you have a picture of your Duraspark installed? If it fits with my Ram Air, I will put it on my wish list. I would plan to put the module in the right side headlight box.

I am really thinking I am undersized on the Jets. This carb is the 86670 Part # 0-86670BL. This has 63 Jets in the primary and 73 in the secondary. I am thinking I should go with 66 in the primary. Your Thoughts? kcmash
