    Motor mounts and oil pan removal/replacement on 73 with 351C. Can I leave the motor in?

    I have to replace the motor mounts and I have a canton high capacity oil pan to swap in too. Can I do either or both of these without removing the engine? Can I just lift it with a hoist and get enough clearance? I did a search but motor mounts are a big topic on the forum so I wasn't able...

    50th birthday for the Mustang today

    The old girl rolled off the line 50 years ago today. To celebrate I drove her around some. I am thinking I might take her to her first car show sometime soon too.

    Installed some 'locking' bolts on my valve covers

    I've used these on my headers and they work great so I decided to give them a try on my valve covers. I replaced the gaskets and cleaned them up and then installed these 'stage 8' locking valve cover bolts. https://www.stage8.com/product/8960b-valve-cover-bolt-kit-16-bolts/ Basically you...

    It guess it was in South East Orlando Florida.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kw2s3gbPopo&t=103s It's part of a montage of videos but I believe it will start at the Mustang losing its rear wheel.   Ouch!

    spark plug wire separators suggestions?

    What have you had success with?  351C.  I have tried the clip on ones but they tend to twist a bit.  I see severall different 'clamp' down versions.  Even some using aluminum, which to me would defeat the purpose.

    MSD Distributor options

    My engine specs are in my sig. I run a mallory unilite now. It works okay but the springs to adjust the timing curve are no longer available and sometimes it acts up a bit. I am limited to small cap distributors because of my carb setup. No FI or Computer controls on the car. Vacuum advance...

    Speed Bleeders for your brakes

    My Master Cyl was leaking so I knew I was going to have to bleed the brakes. I picked up some of the Russell speed bleeders. I bought them on amazon. I am very happy with how they work. Not only was it much easier to bleed the brakes I can't remember ever having such a tight pedal before...

    What are your thoughts on chaining the cleveland

    Has anyone tried to add some type of chain or something to keep their Cleveland from torquing in the engine bay? Perhaps I have broken a motor mount. But if that is the case it just means if I replace it I will break the next one too. I known when I really get on it my engine is rotating. I...

    New fuel level sender... new problem

    I put in a new fuel level sender. It took me longer than it should have. I thought I had less gas in the tank than I did but, since my old sender wasn't working, I guessed wrong. Anyways. I get the new sender in and fired the car up. Idles fine. I add the gas I took out (about 3 gallons)...

    what is wrong with us?

    So the thread on old tires got me thinking I should look at replacing mine. But I have 14" rims and they are pretty old and I want to get new rims and tires. Maybe 17" or 18" so I can fit in disc in the back and bigger disc up front. But if I am going to upgrade my brakes I need to make sure...
