Hi guys. I have been asked to give a few pointers and pics on the "simplification" of my engine bay. http://members.dodo.com.au/~jimniki/hidden_wiring/hw-1a.jpg This project which I undertook was not so much one big upgrade but rather many little side jobs which worked together to ultimately...

Guys, I got my standard marti yonks ago, but I've always had no door data tag. I'm going to order one from marti. (My car is a different colour from birth, so I blame the PO). Is there any other "metal" tags anywhere on a 71 Mach1? (other than the vin of course) eg: none of the cowl? (I hope...

Hi guys... It's been a Looooong time since I've logged on. I'm here again now and hope to participate regularly. I've got time now that I'm not working and I'd love to get back into the stang talk. Just ordered some new custom plates and are about to join a new car club here. (have just...

Hi to all new and old alike. The old horse has been behaving itself. Not that I drive it much. I'm enjoying it a lot more since I put in an AOD. I'm in Sunbury, Vic so getting anywhere from my town requires freeways. Guys, the time has come to get rid of the boat anchors, aka, 2v open heads...

Hi guys... I finally got my AOD in my car. It feels a little weird at the moment. I'll finish tweaking it by Sat, then I'll post about it. For now, can I just ask: I need to know the bolt size needed for the front of the Cleveland head (drivers side). This is where the aircon bracket goes...

Guys, I've just installed a wideband Air Fuel Ratio gauge. It's on my 351 with auto and 750 vac sec Holley. It smells a little rich, was just hoping the gauge could shed some light. I'm interested in values at warm idle, slow acceleration, wot? Any thoughts? cheers and thanks again...

About 3 weeks ago, I took the mustang to work and back. Everything was fine. Tried to start it many times since but no go. It's a pretty standard 351 with cam and carby. There's fuel from the electric fuel pump. Double check by manually opening the butterfly on the 750 holley to see the good...

1936 Stainless Steel Ford In 1935, officials at Allegheny Ludlum Steel Division and the Ford Motor Company collaborated on an experiment that would become a legacy and a tribute to one of the most dynamic metals ever developed. Allegheny Ludlum, a pioneer producer of stainless steel...

For what it's worth, I finally found all the documentation pertaining to the purchase of my mustang ... (including the original "JUST CARS" SEPT 2003 edition) pictured below (page 71)... I looked at the picture about 10 times and then asked the SWMBO if I can buy it? It took several hours...

Hi guys. I've read as much as I could find but need more examples. Some owners have mentioned that they're not big fans of the woodgrain accents in our cars (with deluxe interior). I'm interested in seeing photos of some alternatives to the woodgrain to maybe give me some ideas. eg: carbon...

Hi guys, took the must among out in the dark to see how my new Narva 100+ h4 globes go. I need to adjust them. I know how to adjust them, just need to know if there's any easy tricks to do like at home with the lights on a wall, etc. Or is it just trial and error, etc. We drive on the left...

The battle has been won in the war office. (the bedroom). I have the green light to change my gearbox (fmx) to a 4 speed. I'm thinking of an AOD. But now I'm entertain the idea of a manual. Let's forget the wow factor for a moment and tell me which would be easier? Ideally I'd like a 4 speed...

Guys, out of curiosity, I bet many people had just as varied a list of special "car" to buy as I had. My top 3 in order were: 71 mach1 (mcode or better) Mid 80's corvette with the whole front that opens up towards the front ...I thought they were pretty cool. Aussie xb coupe (an old Aussie...

Hi guys, I've got about half a dozen Stanley hand rivet guns lying about all with the same problem. The spring is broken on all of them. No one here in au carries spare springs. Would anybody know where I can buy about 10 of them. They all seem to be the 1 generic size these days.

Just heard on the radio this morning that Holden will also cease manufacturing here in Au by 2016. The sources are accurate but still unofficial by Holden. Their official reply today was "no comment". With Ford also closing in 2016, we've basically become uncompetitive with big manufacturing...

Hi guys... Can someone tell me the size and thread type for the bolts which fit the 3 bolt openings at the front on one of the clevo 2v heads ( RHS). I think they're there to hold brackets, etc.

Hi guys, I bought a knock sensor kit. I like it's simplicity because it has a little sensitivity adjustment for the green, yellow and red led lights. I tested it on the bench and it works nicely. Now the hard part.... I have no idea where to install it on my clevo. (standard block/heads)...

Hi guys. Just watched Bounty Killer, a post apocalyptic type movie with a 71-72 fastback in it. It's in quite a few scenes until it gets ......... spoiler alert ............. (blown up!) Nice chick in it ... but definitely B grade .... except for the car of course....

Hi guys, has anyone installed roller tip rocker arms on their clevo which can fit under the standard valve covers? Bolt on would be great if possible... standard 1.73 ratio heads.
