    Yella Terra rocker arm failure

    That's too bad, YT is supposed to be top notch. Hope they take care of you. I'd also be very nervous about finding that missing cup. I've seen lifter circlips pulled through the oil pickup and lock up the pump.

    Gone in 60 seconds? (1974 film)

    I love watching the old car chase movies, but this is one I can't seem to ever find...it's always the remake being shown.

    vent duct tips

    Without going into detail, how did you wire it in? It seems a parallel circuit to the differential pressure switch might work?

    vent duct tips

    Is the Brake light (the warning light in dash panel) supposed to illuminate when the parking brake is engaged, on our cars? Mine does not and I've never looked into it. Edited to clarify which "brake" light I'm asking about.

    Door panel from Standard to Deluxe

Going from standard to deluxe you'll need the following: -Door panels -Woodgrain Inserts -Stainless trim at carpet border -Beltline weather strips -Inside Door Pull Handle -Inside Door Handle...

    RPM Rust Prevention Magic

    Thanks for the feedback. Still want to hear from anyone who has used the RPM. Will look into the T-9 products. I have a jug of Ospho and another similar product called Rust Mort. I use them as paint prep on rusted metal. This reminds me that I need to wipe down the roof on one of my...

    RPM Rust Prevention Magic

    Have any of you tried this? I saw this on a recent episode of Graveyard Cars. The reviews seem to indicate that it works well, but not for very long. It would sure be nice to have a DIY treatment for bare steel parts to resist corrosion with something that doesn't involve paint. If you've...

    383 Stroker

    Obviously, it's your car and you're free to do as you choose, but why not just sell the mustang and find a GM product for your engine or vise-versa? I'm anti-brand swapping muscle cars.

    Good price for a 351 block and 4v heads?

    I wouldn't hold it against you if you did hate them and I don't mind driving a throwback from the 80's :) I will say, that when I see pictures of the hair styles and clothing we wore back then, it does make be laugh a little. To your point about the hood, I have an extra hood that I'll use to...

    3 Inch Exhaust

    What app are you using to measure the sound intensity? I'm gonna have to check that on mine. Wondering how the X pipe changed the sound of your exhaust. Did it give your exhaust the brrrraaaaap sort of sound like the modern musclecars seem to have? They seem to have a higher pitched tone...

    Good price for a 351 block and 4v heads?

    David Frieburger loves the tunnel ram and has done some dyno comparisons with them on Engine Masters. I'm slowly piecing together the parts to put one on a big block for a ranchero.

    Good price for a 351 block and 4v heads?

    Your 73 block should be a D2AE casting. In general, the D2 has slightly thinner cylinder walls as compared to the D0AE block. What is your block currently bored to and what are you wanting to do with it? For the cost of those FB parts, you could sleeve all 8 cylinders on your block and still...

    3 Inch Exhaust

    Did you position the crossover at a specific distance from collectors to tune out the drone? I'm considering adding flex couplings, like you've got. How do you like them? Any leaks?

    351c 2v 4 bbl intake options

    There's an edelbrock performer for 2v heads for sale in the cleveland's forever group on facebook. The guy is asking $100....I tried to post up the link, but I got a strange error message. If you pursue this, be sure you're confident it's not a scam.

    351C to 460 Swap - Opinions

    I did the swap from a 351c/FMX to a 429/C6 back in the 80's. The major components for that swap were: Engine Mounts Radiator, fan, & Shroud (hoses were larger diameter, pilot on water pump larger, and fan shifted farther over compared to 351) All accessories (the car I swapped from was...

    Solar Eclipse

    I went out to have a look and discovered the battery in my welding hood was dead! The sun was a bit less intense than normal, but that's about it. Pretty much the same as the last one a year or two ago.
