    deck spoiler I.D

    The originals are a little thinner than the aftermarket ones, other than that it's hard to tell. I have a FoMoCo spoiler and the pedestals were the only thing with a number. I could be wrong, but I think this is right. The originals stay straighter too!!

    Throttle cable

    The only reason I needed the different ball piece is because the threads were not long enough to get through the 3 washers I had to use to lock it in the middle of the big hole. I bought a small stainless washer assortment pack and mixed and matched until the washers locked into the hole and...

    Primary holes drilled

    I actually over torqued an intake once and split the paper gaskets and sucked oil into my intake so I know what that looks and smells like. I don't think its that, might be something to look into though, it VERY much smells like a rich mixture, very gas smelling so I'm sure for whatever reason...

    Primary holes drilled

    I gave Pro Systems a complete spec sheet of every component to my engine and they built a carb for me, so they chose to drill them. I'm pretty sure his QF has the 6.5 hg power valve, and yes his carb has a choke, while mine does not. For whatever reason he refuses to take it to a performance...

    Primary holes drilled

    My father and I both have 71-73 Mustangs with 351 C's. When I rebuilt my engine I had Pro Systems build my carb for me and it works GREAT!! I tried to get him to do the same when he built his engine but he refused to go that route. Instead he bought a Quick Fuel 750 DP. We got it running ok, but...

    Throttle cable

    Here are the pics. The little hole behind where the ball is, is about 3/4" behind. The pic does not do the distance justice. And The other is the part number for the Ball linkage pieces.

    Throttle cable

    I will get some pics tonight. It was a ford/edelbrock mounting kit with just a bunch of different ball ends in it.

    Throttle cable

    My cable rests literally 3/4" in front of the hole it mounts to. But, I went to O'rielly's yesterday, found a little kit that had 5 different little ball ends, and managed to use washers, locktite, and lock washer and mounted a ball pin thing in the big hole on the linkage arm. a lot closer to...

    Best Carb for the job????

    One more thing to check if you have a flat spot is the pump arm adjustment. My carb had a loose pump arm and it caused a weird little flat spot when I would first accelerate. It's free to check!!

    Throttle cable

    I am running a Pro-Systems 780XP. Yes, I have to compress cable a little to snap it on, then it doesn't seem to open all the way. I did install new carpet too though. Some things to look into!!!

    Throttle cable

    Is the throttle cable on our cars adjustable? I just noticed that my cable does not fully open my carburetor! Thanks!!

    Picture of parking brake

    I ran into this on the aftermarket ones too, you have to use the original rubber grommet/spacer to get the tension you need on the little fingers. I really wish they would test fit parts before they sell them!! UGH!!!! Hopefully your original seals/grommet things are in good shape!!

    Borgeson Conversion

    I did do the quick ratio rebuild, but that was it. Like I said, I'm still happy with my pump and set-up!! Still easy to steer! Cheers!!

    Borgeson Conversion

    I'm not asking this to step on any toes, I am genuinely curious. Why go through all the trouble to change out the power steering components in our cars? My aftermarket pump was cheap and works well, the replacement lines are working well, and my rebuilt steering box works great!! My power...

    Headliner Pictures Wanted

    That area is kind of self explanatory, there are little tooth plates that mount back thereonce that area of the headliner is pulled taught down over those teeth, the sail panels just lay over that back area to dress it up. The tricky part for me was how high up the sides to apply glue. for the...

    Speedmaster 4V Iron heads

    Has anybody used these heads? I was poking around on Ebay and found these Iron 4V heads, part# PCE281.2103 by Speedmaster, claims they are 64cc comb. chamber, and 254cc Intake throat and they are already machined for screw in studs. At $1300 with valves and guides looks like it may be a good...

    9 inch differential near Minnesota

    My father and I are looking for a spare 9 inch diff. for our cars. I live in Minnesota and don't want to drive too far to pick one up. I will Drive a few hundred miles for pick-up. Gear ratio does not matter, neither does spline count. As long as it's a 9" out of a 71-3 Mustang. Thanks!!

    Headliner

    I know when I bought my car and removed the headliner, somebody installed it without rolling over the windshield/rear window ledge and it looked good. I think really good glue, lots of small spring clamps, and finding as many "Cheater" points you can use to hold it. They tucked the headliner...
