    trouble tuning mild 351c with holley 3310

    I have had significant trouble with Autolite spark plugs in the recent past stemming from the inconsistency in their quality control. Ever since they stared being made over the boarder(Mexico/China) and no longer made in the USA they have had issues. Not just in the #25 and #24 plugs but also...

    SPECIALIST NEEDED - 351 C Oil system

    1) NPT threads don't often need sealant, but if you desire you can use some Teflon thread tape or liquid Teflon sealant.  2) It should be a 3/8" NPT plug.  The hole has a taper as does the plug so they get tighter when screwed together.  Wondering if someone installed the incorrect style plug...

    Half leaf on rear springs?

    I have 4 1/2 leafs on my car. Stock ride height, standard eye. Bought them from Mustangs Plus over 18 years ago. It was fine when the car was an automatic, but after I swapped in the Toploader I had tons of wheel hop. My car has a Auburn Pro differential and not an open diff. I cured it...

    Magnum 500s - Wheel Vintiques or Scott Drakes?

    I used Specialty Wheels limited. They make their own wheels. They custom made my 15x10 Magnums with 6.5" backspacing. Couldn't be happier with the quality and they gave me a 10% military discount. Been about 8 years now and they still look as flawless as when they were new...

    Spark Plugs

    The new plugs you installed are resistor plugs. On an old car that may not amount to much but it may help. I know that often a spark plug will sometimes cross references in a parts counter book, and it does not always work as intended. Had a buddy with a 94 Caprice with a 305. It had a...

    Opinions on reupholstering fox body seat

    I have owned three SVOs.  An 84, 85 and 86.  Never found a 85.5.  I have performed frame reconstruction work due to my drivers seat having, '"the lean".  I performed the exact same procedure to my 85 GTs drivers seat and I can say the bottom frame of the seat is near identical from what I...

    Spark Plugs 351C

    Use a stock gap with those cheap HEI distributors. They have a very lazy advance curve and spark energy falls off fast after 4500 RPMs.

    Opinions on reupholstering fox body seat

    Those look like 1984 SVO seats due to the piping. The covers may be of value to those SVO people looking for them. The TMI covers are pretty expensive. May be able to make some money back on the process if they are removed carefully and are able to be resold. Honestly, any 83-86 GT seat...

    Spark Plugs 351C

    I used to use Autolites religiously, but over the past decade, they are no longer being made in the USA and their quality control ebbs and flows year after year. It's gotten to the point where I dont trust them. NGKs have been very consistent and are my go-to plug.

    Cheap top end kit for 351C

    It's amazing how many people that I know that agree these parts are of poor quality, but they just don't seem to care. They say , "it's just an intake manifold, distributor, roller rockers, whatever". You just can't make people understand that all parts are not made equally and in the...

    New cam for my 408.

    A few things I've learned from ordering custom camshafts. What you ask for is what you get. If you want something that has a rowdy demeanor and powerband from 2500-7000 then you will get exactly that. It will likely not have very good street manners below 2500, so if cruising rpms are 2200...
