The price you pay for big header tubes is apparently a set of spark plug wires too frequently for my wallet! TT posted a link to a ceramic thing that relocates the electrode but that looks goofy and fragile. Who makes a nice header wrap I can use in the plug area to give the boots a fighting...

Has anyone used CV Products brand of power steering pump? Here is a link to one on Ebay that includes the reservoir, hoses and possibly a titanium pulley. My '68 has big front tires and the factory pump is not getting it done and TT had suggested an aftermarket pump. Anyone have experience...

Has anyone attempted or considered converting their C3 to the variety of Ford IRS available? I have seen T-Brids and Mark VIII for $2,500 for the WHOLE car! I had an '04 Cobra with a few aftermarket parts that made almost 400 RWHP and the rear end was bullet proof with sticky 285 wide tires...

I have the full L88 intake, inner air box and hood on my '68. This includes the spark arrestor on the carb and the air filter element and wire form in the hood. I had the spark arrestor off today and had a mean spit back starting in the cold (tuned for 60 - 90 degrees F but it was 20 degrees F...

Weird - on a '66 does it make sense the key can be removed when the car is running? Also all the stuff still works with the key off: lights, headlights roll over, power windows, heater fan, radio. It did not do that in the past that I remember. Could my ignition switch be shot? The battery...

I am fitting my grille shell, eye brow trim and bumpers. The grille shell fits odd and I need to fill some areas to make it fit nice. I also noticed the edges fit in a recess flush with the body but as the opening turns the recess fades away and the grille shell sits on the body. My car was...

I think I may have silicone and petroleum based brake fluid mixed in the same car. Now what do I do? The brakes seem to bleed fine but I only did the front. I am not 100% sure either - how can I tell? It looks like the old brake fluid took some paint off in the engine compartment and the...

I have worked on the rear wheel bearings of these cars a few times but it has been years. I am working on a car now that has a lot if movement/rock if I grab the rear wheel by the bottom and the top and try to rock it. Like checking a ball joint in the front. I thought wheel bearings but when...

Can anyone recommend a grease gun that is not a piece of snot like the China one I just had blow grease all over me? Thanks! Lot of grease fittings to do on the overhauled front end!

I have an early T56 with the pull clutch design and I do not have any options for a scattershield that I have found. I have seen a fabric blanket used on auto trans drag cars to contain a failure. Any idea what I may be able to use?

I took a direct shock from the MSD while checking for dead cylinders and while it was unpleasant it was not brutal. I think my coil (MSD blaster2) is pooping out or was never any good. Anyone know of some real test or comparision of coils? I was thinking about usign the Ford e-coil which is...

I have done this a half dozen times with polyurethane. I am using rubber on a stock car and I have never done these! I have a press and can make whatever I need. But I have also seen it done where a guy used an air chisel on the edges of the steel bushing liner and blew the out. Any secrets...

I took a 390 cfm (small 600) Holley apart last night for my Dad because it was dribbling fuel out the boosters at idle and puffing smoke. I assumed the needle and seat was fouled up with dirt. When I took the bowls off the actual plating was flaking off and the bowl is corroding. Completely...

I saw a magazine with a blurb about comparing classic muscle car small blocks on the dyno and did not pick it up because my wide was escorting me out the door. Now I can not find it! Anyone know which one it was? Thanks

Old school "movie" about Rochester FI. Reminds of the movies from elementary school! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nfo_LZ3pk4U

I have killed some more plug wires and now I am animated (pissed). I have MSD high dollar super silicon plug wires with the DEI fiber shielding on the boots and first 6" of the wire. While troubleshooting rough idle I discover that the headers have heated the boots up through the shielding and...

I have glommed on a few threads about power steering issues but I have not been satisfied that I KNOW what the problem is before I start before I start braking oh i I mean fixing stuff. My original problem was no power steering at low rpm/idle. Then as I drove and the rpm dropped it would get...

Had to change my diaper today after the rear toe shims slipped out of position. I got off the gas and the car went into the oncoming lane! I had them wired together to I still have them. What is the secret to keeping these in position anyway? The nut and cotter pine are still in place. Thanks.

I have had my '60 apart about 9 years so my memory is a little dim. I took the body off the chassis to restore the car. I want to paint the car on the chassis (these things move all over the place) but I want the minimum parts on the frame to get over sprayed and dust etc crapping them up...

I am trying to sanity check an estimate to paint a '70 coupe. Disassembly Strip body and door jambs Grind out all body seams, fiberglass and fill (they have "sunk") Fit all panels flush and 1/4 - 5/16 gap Repair various cracks around headlights and vent openings 3 coats of primer block sanded...
