    Do not change out your ac fan blower without trying something that I did which worked

    Sad but true. You have to take your classics to a speed shop where mechanics are still employed......the fellas with gray hair! Not the kids with a dumb phone in their hands.

    Do not change out your ac fan blower without trying something that I did which worked

    Part of their problem is ignorance. I didnt realize that buying a new A/C fan blower from whoever (4 Seasons Brand Motor) that it was a heater only motor which pushes much less air. The new motors have reverse polarity so you have to ground the red wire and attach the black wire to the motor...

    To EFI or Not EFI, that, and which one, is the question.

    To my knowledge, Holley pump will not fit in the vapor vent opening. Not enough clearance with the floor of the trunk unless you cut a hole for it. Aeromotive makes an electric fuel pump/sending unit that you can use in place of the original sending unit. Had I known that, I would not have...

    To EFI or Not EFI, that, and which one, is the question.

    I had many issues with my Edelbrock 750 CFM. hard to start and fuel draining out of the line to the pump. I have installed a Holley Sniper and a dual sync MSD/Holley distributor. New stainless fuel line and pressure hoses. Will finish this weekend and fire it up! I installed a Aeromotive...

    Hello, from NYC. 73 Mach 1

    Yet another Howdee from Texas! Slick ride! Here's my take. Replace the plugs, wires, cap and rotor. Upgrade to a Pertronix Ignitor and be rid of the points and condenser. An oil and filter change is also a good idea since you don't know how long your ride has been in storage. Make sure...

    Power steering Pulley

    Its on correct but it doesnt have the groove to remove. The only thing I can think that it can be remove short of destroying it, heat it up until it slides off. Then it may warp. Its cheap and its just for looks too. I bought one to use but opted to use my old pulley and I have no regrets.

    NACA HOODS FOR '71 TO '73 MUSTANGS. CORRECT OR INCORRECT!

    All that being said and with the lack of any wind tunnel data, what do you think, at a glance, how the 71-73 hood scoops measure up? Are they more trouble than their worth?

    AOD rebuild transmission acting up

    A friend of mine at work has a 67 Stang that had a C4 with his 289. When I mentioned getting a new 351C build stroked to 393 he could not be out done and got a 302 block stroked to 347. He also got an AOD and it worked fine for 4 months then it would not shift to 4th. He sent it back and was...

    AOD rebuild transmission acting up

    I cut both cables to shorten them. They both started to unwind. I clipped the ones on the throttle cable to make it look neater but the ends are like needles a they poke the hell out of you if you have to make adjustments. I had to buy the whole cable kit because Lokar does not provide just...

    AOD rebuild transmission acting up

    I've had similar problems with my conversion....made me wish I kept the C6 as there were ZERO problems with it. Upon initial installation, my AOD would not shift out of first gear. Granted, the engine build took three times longer than I had anticipated but I had taken precautions with the AOD...

    Project Elroy

    I also have no issues with the 250 six. We had a 75 Granada with the same 6 and 3 speed stick. It was a great setup and ran silky smooth! My dad purchased it new and special ordered it that way. It became mine in 1985 when after my mom wrecked it and my dad refused to fix it and parked it in...

    Adjustable PCV valve

    Yes. I posted a thread about my new engine with a rear main seal leak. Cleveland Crush recommended that adjustable PCV valve. I installed it along with a Moroso air oil separator. The leak stopped at idle and it leaks a little while driving. More adjustments needed. I needed to move the...

    Aftermarket Seats

    I used Scat Procar Elite reclining with adjustable lumbar support. I did not use the adapters because they made the seats sit up too high. I reused the old slides which required me to drill new holes in the seat bottoms and then use some spacers as shims as the new seats have a straight bottom...

    Center Map Light

    I get it. The one I purchased on eBay was $100 and I had to replace the switch. I took out the slide switch cut a crude hole with my dremel tool and glued in a micro toggle switch I picked up on Amazon. Then replaced the cover with a repro and installed an LED lamp and I was good to go. I...
