    water bypass tube help

    That's good the inhibitors in your coolant are going to be your BFF. Only thing you have to worry about is what you said, the cost lol. FWIW please use the proper radiator hose clamps, e.g. TKO or spring loaded clamps never use the worm gear or even those pretty anodized hose fittings... they...

    Firewall pad ?

    Hey there! sorry to hear the waste of money you have going on. For sound deadener your better off making your own sheets. ThermoTec, KillMat, ResoNix, 3M sound deadner, or DynaMat. FYI Dynamat is hella expensive and doesn't provide heat reduction. You'll have to stack a layer something. check...

    Long Time coming 1973 Mach1 restomod

    I have to ask... is there a reason you didn't just rip out the cowl hat that is rotting away? You went through the trouble of opening up that cancer spot, but didn't really do much. I'm worried that future you is going to run into leaks again since the holes/pitting is so close to the hat butt...

    Starter Issues/Flexplate destroyed.

    1. The motor has started before with the new starter without any "initial" problems. 2. Ruling out hydro-lock: turned the engine with a breaker bar, rotates relatively smooth, I say relative because its a big mechanical machine takes a bit of force to rotate. 1/4 turns with/without serpentine...

    Starter Issues/Flexplate destroyed.

    Vacuum Diagrams Restomod Edition

    I did exactly that, I have my dizzy line connected to the ported line next to the meter block from the carb. however the amount of vacuum from the manifold (RPM AIR GAP) showed the same readings from the port underneath the carb (750CFM quickfuel) i guess its a matter of preference. also did...

    Vacuum Diagrams Restomod Edition

    for the PCV is it critical to have it connected to the back of the carburetor or can it be a breather cap? As far as the dizzy, the option is available to connect dizzy>> 3way port> intake & carb. can the 3 way port be eliminated?

I know of and have viewed the diagrams provided by...

    Loose Motor Mount Bolt; Mount to Block

    I'd be lying if i told you there ever was one and if it came out during bolt removal. II didn't try a longer bolt. I mentioned previously that all the bolts matched the originals in legnth thickness and pitch. So much for upgrading the bolts to throw out the old ones. ill try the longer...

    Loose Motor Mount Bolt; Mount to Block

    motor mounts are same thickness, nothings different. I am bolting the mounts while the engine is sitting on the stand and the bolts just keep spinning in place.  they go in all the way and just spin. there's no presence of deflection either. it just spins  motor is out of the engine...

    Loose Motor Mount Bolt; Mount to Block

    I started it off from second approach you suggested initially, its just easier imho. However, when I was torqueing the bolt into the block that one bolt would just go in like normal, no misalignment or cross threading, but kept on going until it bottomed out and just wouldn't tighten.. and...

    Loose Motor Mount Bolt; Mount to Block

    Hey guys! I just replaced the motor mounts on the 351C and "bolts" from were acquired from Johnsmustang. Of the 4 bolts that screw into the block. 1 bolt would not catch at all if it did. It would spin freely it is the right size because pitch and length match, however when the bolt was being...

    Speedometer Cable Routing

    for what its worth. following the same path from the previous post. Here's what is recommended from Hooker. I followed the reroute of mounting the bracket behind the transmission cross member. it really helps and keeps the speedo cable from sagging on top of or too close to the pipes. (ask me...

    Clarification on ignition switch contact development?

    I believe you meant that towards the comment if i had the relay. Im currently under the harness trying to figure out hat to do with this Resistor wire. my only option is to do the bypass. Reverting back to the original statement.  if the resistor wire shares the same terminal plug as the 12V Red...
