Hello All, Back at Triple B's Muscle Car Clinic. This is the winter of Rob, and he gets to work on his own car! What a concept! Time for one last build! Rob has decided on an all-aluminum 427 based FE build stroked to 511 cubic inches with a 12 to 1 compression ratio for his 1967 Mustang...

Help, I am trying to attach a picture to a post, but it pastes rotated sideways. How can I rotate it straight up and down? Rob

He will be truly missed!! A friend to all and a rock of our hobby! Rob

First +1 to Dave on that chrome Thermo housing. They make great paper weights!! We can do the vacuum advance later. In this day and age, a manual choke is old thinking. I should have noticed. Might need a bigger monitor and better glasses also! It a simple as a universal choke cable that...

The Edelbrock carb has an electric choke vice the “heat tube divorce choke” on your stock carb. Your stock carb used the heat tube shown with a small amount of vacuum to draw the heat off the exhaust manifold to open the choke. Your new carb uses an electric choke. A “keyed” 12 volt wire that...

Doubt that any "old" Mustang mechanics or machine shops will have any info on date codes and such to the year of a car. It was not a big deal back then. The Vintage Mustang Forum might be a better place to ask your questions. At the same time anything could have happened, but you seem to be...

Welcome back Joe and Casey!!! I have missed you!! Rob

Give us the information Neil requested and we can help you. My experience in 1968 cars built in San Jose is they have VIN'S stamped in them. I have pictures of a 1968 San Jose built 6 shooter with the vin in both the 3 speed manual tranny and the block. Cars in other plants I cannot speak to...

Joe still has it. Hope he will ring in. Rob

I am 100 percent sure he broke in the cam if the engine was on a dyno. Rob

Your throttle return spring clip on the driver back carb stud is turned a bit. Can you show us a picture of your return spring set up? Rob

A 4 speed would be a nice upgrade! A total bolt in. Uses the same clutch and same drive line. All you need is the 4 speed and linkage. Rob

Have you broke in the cam yet? Rob

Rob the old radiator rebuilder from the early 70's agrees with Arlie. Never fill your radiator all the way to the top. Keep the fluid at least 1 inch below the filler neck. If the system is good and no over heating occurs it should not dump water. Common mistake by some owners who are used...

In this picture you can see the "passenger side" large port for a PCV valve. This port is common to the newer Holley carbs which one is on this car. More than likely this hose goes to PCV valve and the one in the spacer can be plugged. No it will not hurt the car to have it plugged. Rob

Jon, Ship that thing up to me and we will make it dependable and drivable!! Time to enjoy it!! Rob

+ plus one on both Steve and Marty. Will tell you that I got a crap lower control arm the failed quickly from a known Mustang supplier. Spend some time an look for a quality one that may still be available. Rob

Wow! What some fun! You are correct that it is an oil plug. So leaking out of the carb could just be old gaskets. You do not have the correct PCV Spacer under your carb. The "plugged" vacuum port is for a PCV valve and will be ok if everything is correct and functioning properly. My guess...

Looks great, but got to agree with Dad on this one!! Too much gloss back! Bet it sells though as it looks very well finished. Rob

Dad, I have CRS "can't remember stuff" and CRAFT "can't remember a freaking thing". Forgot she was sold and heading out of the country! Do a burnout in whatever you have!!! Rob
