    SCORE ! CRAIGSLIST FIND

    No reason to use their valve body is because the original will work perfectly. My cost in parts alone to rebuild one has been between $400-950 depending on whats broken inside. Once you get past the "Oh **** its a complicated overdrive automatic transmission" they really aren't that bad to...

    SCORE ! CRAIGSLIST FIND

    Get a big table and open it up starting at the pump. You will have around 5 major assemblies and a giant c clip and a small spring too. Practice assembling and dis assembling it over and over till you get comfortable with it. When you are in there you can see what hard parts you will need...

    Figured out the door speaker problem

    Finally made more progress on the install. I've tried a few different ideas. Here is where I'm at now. Still have a 5.25 mounted in front of the window crank. It clears the window and the crank. It plays so well in that location that I've decided to go a couple steps better and replace it with...

    Desert Valley Auto Parts

    Hard to find anything 71-73 around here anymore. Franks wrecking in Apache Junction,AZ has a few cougars and a couple Mustang coupes for sheet metal but otherwise since the advent of ebay most everything is long gone. Thats partly why the value of our cars are climbing so fast. When the...

    Battery recommendations

    Johnson controls plan is to buy out competitors and have you renting your battery through controlled failure and warranty replacement of the same battery. Welcome to the new Amerika. I refuse to participate. As a stockholder in different companies I could probably profit more in the short term...

    Battery recommendations

    As was said. Most all are made by Johnson Controls. Expect it to last 3 years and 4 months and expect it to die without warning. I take care of 8 cars so I have lots of experience about it. My batteries are all going to be bought at the Mercedes dealer from now on except for the wifes BMW...

    Fan Shroud

    Raised letters is the wrong shroud. Check the part number on it. Probably has a D5 number on it.

    Looking for a good place to have my distributor rebuilt/tuned

    Put your dual point in a box and save it. Have reincarnation recurve a rebuilt duraspark dizzy for you. He will change bushings and change the mechanical and vacuum advance curves for you. When you get the new dizzy, add cam lube to the distributor gear. Drop it in, bump the starter and make...

    73 vert on E-Bay

    I think its worth the asking price. If you watch values for collectible cars they have been going up about 1% a month for the last 18 months. This car is definately collectible as a survivor. I just am not sure I want to walk around a car as its sits in my garage doing nothing except getting...

    Wiring harnesses

    I've got the asphalt type stuff. Works good if you plan on building a harness from scratch. It won't have enough give to it to let you slide through any connectors.

    FMX and AOD Shifters

    Yes it's Baumann If you have the stock transmission harness don't bother with buying theirs. With a 3.50 ratio axle I can be fully locked up on the convertor in 4th gear at about 47mph and just about idle down the road. I used the stock 4R70W convertor since I wouldn't push over 5000 rpm. It...

    Discount tire measured my old tires?

    Anyone know why discount tire measured the tread depth on the old tires from my kids F150 ? Only thing I can think of is they are reselling them and I don't get any of the profit. They are my tires and I paid both an environmental fee and waste tire disposal fee of $18 to have them recycled...

    Michelin Tires

    My wifes beemer used to have the run flats. Horrible horrible tire on a sport suspension car. I switched it over to the Michelin A/S tire that looks like it has truck tread. Had to use it because of the rear camber specs on those cars. They run very true and I know I can out corner a new vette...

    Value of 2bbl intake and carb

    I'd pay more for a car with the stock carb than an aftermarket one. What system no longer functions that I would have to repair if I bought your car? PVC EGR Vacuum advance Idle solenoid Choke Choke heat tubes Proper air/fuel ratio (jets, transfer slots, metering rods, power valves) Fuel...

    '73 351c 4V Performance rebuild advice

    If the pump isn't installed then dont use it. I've used both high volume and stock volume and stock is correct for any street engine. Use flat tops. Try to go for a minimum overbore. Usually .020 can be done and that is a standard piston size. I like the 3310 but only the first version 3310-1...

    FMX and AOD Shifters

    Forgot about the wifes nexus. It has a camera. Shoved it under the car and got this. Maybe now everybody will stop trying to use the AOD and go 4R70W.
