    Down the "more power is always better" rabbit hole?

    Chuck, not yet, I got the hedders on and got a tach, and gauge set from Holman Moody and thats installed. I have The HM valve covers on, but the cast HM air cleaner is a weird design and I am having hood clearance issues. Getting ready for a local, non professional car show so may have some...

    Down the "more power is always better" rabbit hole?

    I kinda think there is a fine line between what is fast enough and what is to slow. My 72 vert is way fast, still trying to get the thing to hook up right, but runs insane when hooked. My 63 Galaxie feels lazy and I am definitely not happy with it. To each his own. Never anything wrong with a...

    FE stuff

    I should probably leave well enough alone but, would it be worthwhile to maybe go with some Edelbrock heads? I don't know if the cam would be able to take advantage of them and certainly not any of the more performance-oriented makes. Another question. Would it be worthwhile to get a dyno tune...

    FE stuff

    Thanks for the feedback. Unfortunately, the person I bought it from didn't know a lot about the car. It was his father's car and he inherited it when he passed. The only thing he knew was his father loved the 406 but couldn't afford a real one, so he punched out the 390 to 406 CI and slapped the...

    FE stuff

    Any FE lovers out there. I have a Galaxie with a 390, any thoughts on performance additions? I got FPA tri y headers.

    Factory looking aftermarket radio

    Thanks for the input. I was hoping for AM/FM and maybe a cassette player? I still have a lot of great tapes. I am really not all that up to date on the technology side of things as you can probably guess from the cassettes, but if I could at least listen to FM radio that would be great.

    TMI Door panels

    I had trouble finding the green carpet. Used the stock door panel but the carpet looks bad.

    Traction

    Ok, so I guess two separate problems. On a roll, hitting the gas results in massive tire spin and no traction. From a stop, dumping the clutch results in wheel hop. How to solve both problems. I like the idea of low profile "what i would call ladder bars". Trying to keep the look clean, Really...

    72 vert finally done

    Just to kind of finish the story, I had the rear end narrowed a half inch on each side, disc brakes all around. 255/ 17's in the rear and 235'in the front. Back in the eighties, I found a factory harness for the tach and three gauge panel. I installed those. I decided to move the battery to the...

    72 vert finally done

    Thanks for the suggestions, I really struggled with the wipers. Gotcha on the other stuff. Is what it is but have great memories of that car. My brother and I used to run hot wheels up the center console from the back seat. It's what got me into this lifestyle

    Traction

    I understand what is happening, but am not sure about the best way to go about fixing it. Back in the day I bolted a set of traction bars to my mustangs and that seemed to fix it. I really don't want to do that now. I do not have staggered shocks and have stiffer springs . I think the torque is...
