    Replace broken rocker stud

    1973 Mustang coupe with a 302 and 3-speed manual. I rebuilt the engine about a year and installed D00E 351W 1969-74 remanufactured heads from ATK through JEGS (JEGS part #59-2F92). I heard some ticking in the engine and after removing the valve cover discovered one of the studs has broken off...

    302 Header Options

    If you live near Alexandria, VA, I'll give you a pair of long tube headers. They wouldn't fit on my 73 coupe with a 3-speed manual transmission as they interfered with the clutch linkage.

    Electric Fan Pictures

    I agree that PLA won't hold up for underhood temps. Especially attached to the radiator that will exceed 200F when hot. I can print in nylon which has a much higher melting temp at 260 to 280F and have a printer that can handle that material. If I am exceeding those temps, I have bigger...

    wiring for parking brake switch

    Thanks! I found out late last night that my car doesn't have that convenience package. I had the misunderstanding that the "Brakes" light in the dash was for the parking brake. Not so. That is only for a failure of the master cylinder. So, now I get to argue with VA state inspectors that my...

    wiring for parking brake switch

    I am trying to get my parking brake switch to work, but I'm starting to run up against a wall. I have traced the wire from the switch on the parking brake to the brown plug at the relay panel over the glove box. It is circuit 162, Light Green-Red Dash wire. I am missing the other side of the...
