    Oil pressure sending unit

    Did you acquire a temp gun to check all 8 exhaust ports? 2v carbs are not expensive to turn in the core and get a “ready to run” carb (when you give them your location (sea level for jetting) and your drivetrain set up. Rock on with learning on your own first but if it turns into a PITA then...

    Mach 1 with 460 takes too much gasoline!

    Day 2 of Memorial Day weekend 🇺🇸 and topped her off again. 68 miles / 8.5 gals at 5.24 = $41.92 & 8 smiles/gal but I had way more than that. To make it feel less painful and put on a positive patriot spin, invert the $ to 1492 when wind was actually the cutting edge of survival by attempting to...

    Anyone Interested in Going Electric?

    Yeah no, Only a simple minded person would think our globe could spin off a panel and a windmill. China is doing a great job of sucker punching our sheeples. For the virtuous ones out there, please pre-order “Fossil Futures” coming out soon and if you don’t then understand the big picture, you...

    ’71 Mach 1 Resto Project

    When you get her going, we just supplied Builders Asphalt the aggregate to do 47 north of Elburn so its getting to be a nice road to get ip this way and avoid the tollway 👍🏻

    Findings in my Oil-Pan

    Like was said before, who knows what happened through out the years, but what I know is that you are one of the lucky ones that actually had gravity work in your favor!

    Living with Vette instead of Stang

    Funny (but not real funny) sh-t right there bloak. My neighbor has one and he Is always wishing he didn’t. He likes to walk over to my garage and wish he had ours. His wife actually “made” him get it because she wanted a “classy” hotrod to sit in so now he basically takes it out for the city’s...

    Anyone Interested in Going Electric?

    That is actually a cool project IMO. I assume electric R&P steering? How does the vacuum for the PB booster actually work?

    Hitting the bonnet

    And triple check your carb stud height before you close the hood to not put a dimple in it… 👌🏻

    Cowl intake to heater box radius

    That is exactly what I did before I put the engine back in last year. I was lucky to only have very minor flaking going on in there so a putty knife and forced air cleaned her up before I sprayed her with flexseal. Had to jerryrig a hose from the can nozzle to get into the upper corners, etc...

    What did you do to your car today?

    IMO, making sure she stops when you ask her to would be my first step. Enjoy every minute and dollar you spend making her your vision.

    What did you do today instead of working on your Mustang?

    I drove her like I stole her and added more old radial TA rubber chunks to my rear quarters while waiting on mayor pete to unscrew the supply chain so my new softer radial TA’s get here and mounted. Also have to give credit to brandon as I burned up another $40 in 93 go juice and have 2 more...

    2022…

    Tracking with you on your tag… nicely done. 🤙🏻 Stay strong for momma and the family. It sucks and my wife just got her third “last” chance to kick cancer in the nutz because a well raised healthy young American man donated his bone marrow to her. 60 days out now and all of her gauges are still...

    Oil pressure sending unit

    Never used seafoam and never will, along with any other “miracle” products. Having the original spare drivetrain in storage is my AAA insurance policy!

    Give it a shot! Or how ever many it takes to try to get a reaction 👍🏻

    Order Type:

    Thats cool info. I never thought of how my baby was conceived before she was born in Dearborn and my Marti doesn't specify a code that matches. I would imagine a “retail” or “SPV” would put our ponies in a club catching up to the Mopars. Also, is there a “to date” registry of “still breathing”...

    Mach 1 with 460 takes too much gasoline!

    Well then there.. as we say over here mate. You can’t take it ($) with you when you go! I love my 8.5 smiles/gal set up on my droptop. Its on the edge of being too hot to handle so I could enjoy the curves on my backroads and never complain about the cost of gas. Even if I would have known...
