    Vacuum pump?

    I talked about how my car is having some issues with vacuum in a previous post. I talk with the tech people at Comp cams and they stated that at around 8 to 10 inches of vacuum is all I should expect with my setup. My cam is a Thumpr series and has lots of overlap for that radical chop. It does...

    Improved wiper motor?

    Does anyone here know of a manufacturer that has improved upon the original wiper motor? The wife and I were taking our car back to the builder for some work and the clouds opened up. The original wipers were way too slow in comparison to todays motor speeds. She was driving and had to slow down...

    Just a heads up on vacuum

    I have had my 71 vert at the builders for 14 months and have replaced everything mechanically on it. We kept having issues with the carburation and have been through 4 carbs trying to get one to idle properly so that we could iron out everything else. Well, it seems that my Comp. Cams Thumpr is...

    1967 GT Fastback

    The guy that is building my car had this in his shop this past Monday. He built it for a fellow about five years ago. It is Jackson-Barrret material. Just thought that I would share it with you. It has a 390 and 4-speed, awesome car.

    New Weekend Driver

    The wife wanted to replace her 2001 Tahoe with another newer one but we decided to replace it with this 2008 Lexus GS350. I have to hand it to Toyota, this thing is very luxurious and has over 300hp. We really like it and it really loves the highway. It has so many options we are still trying to...

    71-73 Monte Carlo Bar Installed

    As some of you know I was insistent on installing a Monte Carlo Bar on my car, so I had by builder custom make one. As promised I am attaching pictures, I think it turned out nice and it clears everything! He had it powder coated too. :D

    New Gauge Cluster

    Just finished getting this new gauge cluster mounted. It came with all the sensors and there is no need for the clear bezel to go back over the gauge cluster becuase these have their own covers. I really like them and as promised here is the installation picture. I think that they are an...

    How to tell the different years?

    Ok, this is my first 1971 Mustang Convertible. I have a rudimentary question, how do you tell a 71 from a 72 and 73. I was familiar with the variants when I had my 67 Camero; vent window, round grill turn signals and different tail lights. What are the differences in our mustangs?

    One of the other challenges I faced.

    I could not find a Monte Carlo bar that would work on a 71-73 Mustang with A/C. My builder custom made one and had it powder coated. I will post pictures as soon as the weather clears. I told him that there may be others wanting one, mainly you guys, and he is willing to make some for those...

    Ordered these new gauges

    Someone posted a picture of these a while back and I contacted the manufacturer. The installation seems fairly straightforward and simple and they solve the problem that those of us without factory gauges encounter. I ordered the ones pictured and had them place a white faced clock in the...

    ZDDP Oil Question revisited.

    I have searched the posts after researching the great ZDDP debate. I am looking for an oil for use, after break-in, with 1200 to 1500 ppm ZDDP and would prefer a synthetic but may consider a mineral based oil. The problem is that after researching the internet I am still confused and have not...

    Cold Natured

    We are nearing the final stages of tuning and calibrating my 306 after breaking in the camshaft. I have an Edelbrock air gap intake and the motor is extremely cold natured. For those of you that have a similiar setup are you experiencing the same? It takes probably five minutes to start to get...

    I have a RimBlow steering wheel in my 71 convt. and I am considering replacing the horn switch because the adhesive is letting loose in a couple of little spots. Has anyone here undertaken this task and how much of a pain was it? I may be able to squeeze a little glue under the bad spot and...
