    Diamond Blue

    Has anyone seen the Ford Diamond Blue in person? It looks like a light silver with blue in it. Saw the color on a 65 Lincoln vert with a white top in the movie Thunderball. Wonder if any opinions what it looks like in the sun...more silver or more blue?

    pre-pump fuel filters

    i am looking at putting a 100micron fuel filter in-line before the mechanical pump. Seems like there's plenty of room between the tank pickup and the hardline fitting. The problem is that i believe the rubber hose is 3/8' and the only hose barb fitting i can find on Earl's is a 1/2" hose. The...

    15x7 magnum 500

    want to buy new wheels this year for my 72. Just got off the phone with a wheel maker for muscle cars. He claims i should stick with 15x7 fronts because 15x8 will upset the front end geometry. i have had after market 8" wheels for a few years and didnt think there was a problem. On the rear he...

    Michelin Tires

    i have always had good luck with Michelin. The new ultra high performance all season has a traditional tread pattern (compared to the unidirectional pattern of the last PS A/S Plus). Unfortunately the 15" is much too small, the 16's are only med sized. So the 17' 235 x 55 x 17 looks to be a...

    windshield cleaning

    has anyone tried cleaning the windshield with Bon Ami 1886 formula? I have a film on my glass that is either from road grime or from the silicone wiper blades but it wont come off with windex or soap/ammonia.

    air cleaner housing replacement

    A small survey to check members success in swapping out the air cleaners would help trying to settle on my problem: I have kept the original housing on my non-ram air Cleveland because it keeps it original and also the engine dyno-ed better with the OEM housing in place than with no filter at...

    for 302 owners

    i caught a brief interview with Jon Kaase on a weekend car show. He detailed his P38 heads for 302's. The site mentions they also fit 427's? The performance numbers are crazy on the 302. Kasse claimed almost no other modifications to the engine other than heads, mild cam, and headers...

When i got the car the transmission got so hot the selector shaft actually melted the rubber piece in...
