    Mirror, mirror on the door…..

    Since they are longer and would cover the rear hole I would say just go ahead and install them. A small hole in the door is usually the least of somebodies problems when doing a restoration. Enjoy the car the way you want it for now. Too many times while working on my car I suffered from the...

    1973 Aluminum rim restoration

    Does anybody have any tips or tricks for cleaning/restoring the aluminum rims. I have a set on one of my 73's that need some TLC. Just wondering what others have done to freshen them up?

    Findings in my Oil-Pan

    That is correct, no need to use the high volume pump. Other than all out racing there is no need for it in the Cleveland and it is hard n the pump drive shaft. Good luck!!

    I tried an .040 gap after P2 install and my car actually ran worse. Been at .035 ever since. Good luck!!

    Either older duraspark unit with small cap, or original dizzy with Pertronix 2 unit is working for me. No issues in over 5 years.

    Rear windshield question

    I ran into this as well, the cheap ones from most big box Mustang catalogs are cheap knock offs that are way too stiff. I think I found some good ones at a local Auto Parts store. Or, I might have just ordered different ones from a different supplier. I can't remember. Just order from a couple...

    Refreshing a 351 Cleveland?

    Looks like I may have to modify a spreadbore intake like the Boss one that you did. I have a spreadbore intake, I tried to buy an "L" intake off Ebay, but it was cracked when I got it and I had to ship it back. Not sure if I want to keep cycling through them until I get a good one. Everybody...

    Refreshing a 351 Cleveland?

    I have run the Edelbrock performer on a few different engines and while it's bottom end is good, it dies at just over 5000 in my experience. Now mind you, the cams I ran may have impacted that as well. My other issue with the Eddie intake is that it has always bothered me that there is such a...

    Refreshing a 351 Cleveland?

    Thank You for your interest boilermaster. My plans have changed a bit since first starting this thread, and I guess that looks confusing. I have decided to do a more (stock) geared build as I don't really want to change any transmissions and I would like to keep a fairly strong vacuum signal. So...

    Painting new fuel tank?

    I once stopped a pair of women from jacking their car up on an incline without stands, with a cheap Walmart hydraulic jack, and they were going to jack the car up by the bottom of the fender. I feel like I saved a life that day!!

    Oddball connecting rod

    I have inherited a set of 8 pistons and connecting rods for a 351C. I was looking through them yesterday and found that I have 2 number 8 connecting rods. Not sure how this happened, but here is my question. If I am having them all reconditioned can I run one of them in the missing number 7...
