If they are the blue-green viton seals then they should be fine. When I had my old 351c I also ran some Total Seal rings (gapless 2nd ring) in it and I was forever plagued with some amount of oil fouling of the plugs and puffs out of the tailpipes. I attributed it to the fact that I did not...

What type of valve spring oil seals did you use? I've had poor luck with the white Teflon type not lasting but a few hundred miles before they started leaking oil past the guides. Installed some positive stop type Viton seals and the oil burning problem went away.

I just purchased a Custom Autosound flip face style retro radio. I was pretty disappointed at its chincy quality for $275. Thinking of sending it back.

Sorry I missed your reply, I forgot to hit the subscribe button. My cars interior is Ginger but color does not really matter.  I only need one good drivers side one from a fastback.  I can paint to match.   Mike

I have a few parts that I rescued that are used for converting one of our cars to a 4-speed. I came across a guy who parted a 71 fastback about 10 years ago and had these parts lying in a pile in the back of a bread van used for storage. Pedal on the floor in one trailer. Z-bar in a 5-gallon...

Why is everyone concerned with the tach adapter? It is not needed if the pickup to the tachometer is from the pertronix itself. I use this method all the time and even used it to trigger my FiTech EFI system.

Automatic or manual transmission? If its automatic these OBX stainless headers will work well. I bought a set and thought they were really great quality. But! My car was a 4-speed with the original z-bar and they needed modification. Even after the mods I think they are great for the...

Exactly what I was thinking. I believe the jury is out on weather the castings were machined for guide plates or not and given BOSS pedigree. There is no real way to prove as any GA head could be machined as such. Of course any good seller worth his salt will claim they are genuine BOSS...

Just leave the factory tachometer trigger wire T'd into the MSD box trigger wire(white) and the (black) wire from the Pertronix. Do not use the tach output (gray)from the MSD box.

There are settings in the handheld controller where you can select the camshaft type. Stock/street-strip/race, if I remember correctly but it's been about 10 months since I installed mine. It gives no delineation of which one to select. It is completely up to the installers interpretation...

The power steering cooler would be worth something if it wasn't rusted so badly.

I mounted the command center down by the mechanical fuel pump on the frame rail. It's a truck so I had lots of room. If you look at the engine bay picture closely you can just make it out under the upper radiator hose clamp. The only thing that I had to do that wasn't mentioned very well was...

Keep us informed how it works out. I have one on my F-100. LMK if you have any questions.

D1AE-GA quench heads. Pretty much the bread and butter 4v quench head. Looks to have been converted to run 7/16" rocker studs with guideplates. Cant tell if they are set up for 5/16" or 3/8" pushrods.

Not without removing it with satisfactory results. May get it cleaned up ok but it will not be perfect. Cleveland intakes are pretty easy to R&R because they don't have coolant running through them. But once you get it off: Chemical stripper to start. May need some bead blasting for...

How many of those are stock stroke? So many are strokers these days.

You'll need to update your signature picture.

I've done about a dozen GT-40 and GT-40P head swaps over the years. My money would hands down go to the GT-40's. Especially if they came off a Mustang Cobra and has the Crane roller rockers already on them. They have hardened exhaust seats from the factory and not the induction hardened ones...

Argh! I went to install the a-pillars and the drivers side one is too long and will not fit. I was able to patch together my original passengers side one, but the drivers side one came out of another 73 Mach 1 that my buddy found for me. He said they were laying in the floor boards and didn't...

Spent yesterday fiberglassing back together my cracked a-piller covers. I so wish I could have found some to purchase. They wont look too bad once painted. They will be functional but I can still see the cracks.
