    Greetings from Downunder

    Welcome from Ohio (again)- - and as others have asked, got more pictures?

    Improving panel fit and alignment

    I'm inclined to agree with 69 Rustang, or at least investigating that option. As for comments that you have to have the engine/trans is to get the gaps right - I disagree that the weight of the engine and/or trans will always affect the gaps. I've had my engine in and out, and the tranny in and...

    On demand ram air under $30

    I believe that switch bleeds the vacuum when "off".

    Tmi one piece molded head liner

    Not a great picture, but about the best view I have handy.

    Tmi one piece molded head liner

    No extra adhesive - the edge trim, the front and rear window trim and the dome light & seat belt anchors hold it. Just be careful as you have to drill the belt anchor holes.

    Be interesting to see what they bring, NOS 1973 forged aluminum wheels and centers.

    They've been posted for a while. Several watchers, but I don't see anyone willing to jump on them yet. Nice-looking wheels, and love that they are original stock, but I couldn't justify paying that price (regardless if they were incorrectly polished or not).

    Bilstein DIRECT FIT 71-73 front shocks now available.

    Did a little research - According to Bilstein' website, these are nitrogen gas-charged shocks with a unique piston design to reduce potential foaming. Did not come with the strap.  My 79 'vette Bilsteins are similar tech, just a little stiffer.

    Bilstein DIRECT FIT 71-73 front shocks now available.

    I believe they are gas-charged, but I really don't know a lot about shock absorber technology. I do know that Bilsteins are top-notch - I run'em on my modified C3 (The very stiff Sport version not street), and lik'em even more on the mustang (although these are street version, so not...

    Bilstein DIRECT FIT 71-73 front shocks now available.

    Just following up to my own question - I took the plunge on Bilsteins for all four corners, and had some decent weather to try them out. With the stiffer springs, the Bilsteins provide a nice, firm ride. Not at all jarring and I really like the ride.

    Experts for Mustangs as well

    When I first picked up my 79 corvette 12 years ago, I started looking for a small block to build a mild stroker (had a  383 in mind back then) - Anything better than the anemic low-compression 195 HP base motor it had from GM. I called a guy with several blocks and other parts to see what he...

    WTB 351 passenger side heat shield

    Bentworker - Jscott and I have worked out a deal, but I still appreciate the reply. I suppose I should have posted that I have a line on one.

    WTB 351 passenger side heat shield

    Looking for the 2V or 4V heat shield with the tube that connects to the heat riser to the snorkel.  I don't need the paper tube, just the metal  heat shield that bolts over top of the exhaust manifold, and captures heated air. Trying to complete my intake system with heated air for warm-ups.  PM...

    new 71 mach 1 owner question about 302 engine

    My 71 Mach 1 was originally a 302/c4 car. Since I'm more inclined to want a "Day 2 , modified period correct" car vs a "factory correct" car, it now has a 351c/FMX powertrain. But if I ever got the proverbial wild hair up my behind, I would consider going  back to the 302/C4 configuration -...

    PS Steering Pump Whines After Hi-ratio Upgrade

    Agree with Don - I have a 1 1/2 year old pump and  a new close-ratio gearbox (installed about 60 days ago). No whine - and one of the best mods I've done, especially considering the overall effect and how easy it was to get done.

    Parting out a 73 cougar xr7 convertible.

    I don't have  a picture - just looking for  wiring from the switch that is triggered when the glove box door opens to the light that illuminates the glove box interior. Not all cars had them, but thought I would ask if this car did. I may just need to fabricate something if I want  to add the...

    Where Am I

    I think I'm thinking of Wilson's promontory - but if that's not right I give.

    Where Am I

    I understand that - but in fact, we felt very safe - visited Egypt, Jordan and Israel. The border crossing from Jordan to Israel and back was different than we expected - tight security and  you give up your passport for the crossing - but we never felt threatened or in any kind of danger. As...
