    Hot battery!

    Went to the races this weekend and ran 4 or 5 times, plus did a long slow parade lap and drove there and home. By the time I got back home, I could smell the acid in the battery, and it was super hot when I shut it down and felt it. Everything is new...battery, alternator, regulator and wiring...

    Edelbrock carb installed! Woohoo!

    I installed the Edelbrock 750 that I found last weekend (very clean, for $180!), and man, what a huge difference from that old 4300 (although I did have that one professionally rebuilt). Now this 429 gets up off her ass and MOVES! Flashlight Drags is on the 16th...I think I will do a LOT...

    Flashlight drags

    Well, I did it! I drove in the Flashlight Drgas Saturday night, and it was a blast. The car handled well (even though I got beat!) but I was just there to have fun (this time). One thing that kinda bugged me was the number of late model sedans and "tuners" that were there competing. I really...

    Flashlight Drags

    Has anyone participated in any Flashlight drag events with their cars? They are having one at Pitt. Raceway in a couple of weeks, and although car shows are ok, I would rather drive it than look at it. Any recommendations or suggestions?

    4300 carb base gasket question

    I removed the carb today to fiddle with a stubborn adjustment screw, and the thin base gasket is cooked so I looked up a new one, thinking it might be better to get a thick insulator gasket. All the listings show gaskets between a spacer and the manifold, and carb to spacer. But I don't have a...

    installed new rad cap and now runs hot!

    71 429 ....runs good, has always run cool (gauge never ran much above 180) . The old rad cap was rusty so I bought a new one, the one called for which is a 13 lb. Now it runs hot (was around 230 when I shut it down), and a lot of coolant came out of the overflow hose. Should I switch to a lower...

    anybody up for a little creative wiring?!

    Hi! First, I must say "Awesome!" for the access to the wiring diagrams! I didn't expect to find that kind of info here (or anywhere, for that matter!) So, if anyone is feeling adventurous and helpful, here is the situation: the 71 Mustang with C6 tranny has no neutral safety/back up light...

    new member- pic- Western Pa.

    Hi! I just joined and wanted to introduce myself and my car. I am a 51 yr old (female, obviously!) and am in the process of restoring the 1971 Mustang that my late boyfriend and I purchased the year before he passed away. It is not a real Mach 1 but I have upgraded it with the Mach 1 grill and...
