Here's the seal turned inside out.  As you can see, it's not happy being inside out. There is an attempt at the radial circles on top, but it sits very thin and tall. My original, over the years, is year wide and flat with pronounced radial circles. Not sure if this is actually the original...

Tony, How does yours attach to your air cleaner? You didn't say??? Original Ram Air?

My Ram Air is original from factory.  My Seal on the air cleaner stretches around a lip on the air cleaner assembly.  This puts the "groove" in the foam on the inside of the seal. The aftermarket (Daniel Carpenter) seal has the "groove" on the outside.  As if it fits on an air cleaner that has...

After sanding the motor plate flat with a palm sander, I'm definitely going with sealer. Mine does have some pitting.  The pitting is mostly in the water jackets.  The car sat in a drive way for 8 years before I got it. You can see that inactivity in the pitting. In the 3 years it's been...

So..., since my original post, I am reading on web that Fel Pro recommends no sealer on their water pump and water neck gaskets which I have.(blue ones) Suprise!...  seems like I've always used some Perma tex on water pump installs over the years.  Search the web and you get conflicting...

Just a quick share of the results I achieved using the good advice from the awesome members of the website.    Please don't rip me for not pulling the motor... I just didn't want to go there at the time... It's not a concours resto, just a clean up 1st photo- general surface rust I was...

I'm noticing that 2 of the water pump bolts that seat it to the block, on the passenger side, hold the alternator brackets. When installing the water pump, do I have to have my alternator brackets painted up and install them on the water pump during the water pump install, or do I just back the...

Rackerm, Thank you very much!  You outdid yourself. All the way forward basically. When I got the car, the battery was sittin on a piece of wood. I could see from Googling pictures basically how it sits, but I wanted to ask in case I was missing something. I appreciate all the info. Now I...

Rackerm, If you look at the picture that I started this thread with, I don't have holes in my fender to go by.  It was rusted/corroded away and I had to weld in a new piece. That's why I started this thread in the first place! All I wanted to know was how to position the tray to look as...

Thanks Rackerm, You basically answered the question that I should provide some additional support underneath.  I can weld in a heavier gauge piece of metal below. I appreciate that the support would have the "nuts", but bolting thru is not the end of the world. Funny, the info I really wanted...

oops, here's picture of what I got from NPD

It took me a second to figure out what you guys were communicating... Here's my tray that I got from NPD, the only one they sell... It has built in support leg that goes down to bolt through... I thought you were suggesting the battery tray is a flat piece and the support leg is a separate...

The new tray I bought from NPD is a complete unit.  Support bracket and tray.  That's how I was able to set it in place and notice that it does position itself right along the inner fender wall.  I just want to know how far forward it is to be placed from the radiator support?  The pictures...

Battery tray was gone and the battery area rusted away when I got my 72 Mach. I got a new battery tray and it fits and positions the battery very much along the fender.  The battery is at an angle, not straight inline like my 67 stang. Obviously this must be correct.? Can someone tell me how...

Thanks everyone for the ideas...Great information from all... Bottom line, I have some work to do. I de-greased with oven cleaner...Now to try some of the mentioned rust removal methods

I posted a month ago about what paint to use under hood.  As I got into cleaning my project, there is more surface rust than I had hoped. I was just going to shoot it with Rust-o-leam rattle cans.  Then I become pretty convinced on the Eastwood 2k underhood black system. I am well aware of POR...

Oh, by the way, I have a puller...   I've never heard of a pully "installer",  How do you reinstall the pully?

Thanks for the info.... I was afraid of that.  What a pain compared to my 67. See, I'm redoing my engine compartment, paint ect.  The pump came on the car I got 3 yrs ago.  It leaks at the bottom hose fitting, the return. I even taped a piece of paper to the back of the pump, between the...

Thank you all for the information and thoughts.  It gave me a lot of great ideas. My goal from my first post was to do it pretty nice without pulling the motor. I'm almost down to the block. Radiators out, harness pulled back to the firewall, ect.. Looks real doable. Thanks for the engine...

Funny, in the old days with my 67, I just went to (Grand Auto, Kragen) got a pump with the pulley already on it, and slapped it in. I want to replace my pump, (old, leaky) ect.. while in the process of cleaning up the engine compartment. It seems that all the pumps I quickly searched don't...
