I always use a T50.

You can use WD-40 and a wire wheel on a drill. Looks like engine is already .040" over. I also agree that it's a pretty big cam for your combo. Those low compression pistons wont be doing you any favors. Would be better to run a smaller street cam. It will just all around perform better. I...

If you need some 351c Z-bar parts and brackets I have some used stuff that I can sell you. They need some resto wrork, but if you will be modifying them anyways...

Looks like some very good work going into this car.

It will work. Be sure to install the ballast resistor or the box will overheat. Had a buddy that did a conversion and went through 2 used boxes and a new one before he asked for help and I figured out what he did wrong. The coil will get hot too but it seems that the box will fail before the...

I'll be going to walk around. Not going to pay the $55 they want to enter. You also need to be a member of the MCA. That's just crazy IMO. Any other year it's only $35 for the weekend.

I rate these gaskets highly. Had them on for a while now without issue. Even recommended them to a few friends who have had luck with them. Only issue is they need a retorque after a heat cycle or two, but after that retorque they are g2g...

Sometimes when a carb gets old you fight and fight with it to no avail. Any brand new carb a person tries is often a much better option. Used carbs are often a gamble and are usually trouble passed from one person to the next. The only time you get a good one is if it was from an upgraded...

A recurved Duraspark is the best bet for value and longevity. An MSD distributor can get you the same thing but is expensive, but much easier to tune vs the Duraspark. The Pertronix and Summit units are made in China and really not made of the best materials. They will degrade in performance...

I just had a ProSystems 4150 done for my new engine last year. Their bottom limit is 400hp. I wanted them to do a carb for my F100 but it was under that mark. Quick Fuel makes a more hot-rod style carbs vs a standard Holley and they work ok, but still not as well as a fully set up or custom...

I used this for my trunk resto. http://www.oreillyauto.com/site/c/detail/DPL0/DM109/N0473.oap?ck=Search_N0473_-1_-1&pt=N0473&ppt=C0171 I needed four cans. It really shoots out but doesn't cover very well...

They are bits of the valve stem oil seals. Often referred to as umbrella seals. They get hard and brittle after the years, crack and come out from between the valve springs. You should probably think about replacing them. Especially if your car smokes at startup.

I stand corrected. I'll defer to the expert.

It is a splice, signified in the harness by a big black rubbery sleeve looking thing.

People have been selling kits like this for a long time. I have a buddy who used one on his 70 Mach 1 351c about 10 years ago. He still managed to spin a rod bearing about 6 months after he built his motor. Fault of the bypass line? We will never know if it helped or had no factor. Lifter...

Pro Stars would be your best bet for fitting.  I used to run some 7" wide and later 8" wide ones on the front of my car for a few years.  Much much lighter than the steel Magnums even being 7"+8" wide with 235's.  Street driving them had the fronts showing cracks where the spokes necked down...

9.0 flat at 84mph in the 1/8th mile. 2.4 sec 60'. Had to leave off idle and ease into it or tires would spin. I was the only car there with street tires and the track prep certainly wasn't doing me any favors. I was there more for participation rather than trying to run a number. The track...

I had my original fall apart and cause some drama. I replaced it with a Streetdamper and it's been on my car for the past 16 years. No rubber to wear out. I really like it. Still pretty expensive though @ $275. If you just need a stock replacement I've used the http://www.damperdudes.net/...

This one has been for sale for at least 6+ months. Overpriced. Needs some things put back to original. Worth a look to compare it against other cars if nothing else. https://panamacity.craigslist.org/cto/5988606395.html

When the original C6 in my car was getting tired I had a similar issue. No fwd or rev gears at all. Had to get it towed. Turned out that all the clutch material from the aging transmission had completely clogged the filter. New filter had me going again but the trans was fading fast and...
