This was a fun thread. I figuared that when I mentioned beer I would get some tall tails. Tim I never doubted your car could turn the speedometer over twice but I think it was Renee driving! Arlie, Steve, Scott and Rob I konw you guys are right. I used to have a Cessna that added a 30 HP bigger...

It must have the black buttons to be considered correct. I see the C8 radios on Ebay sell for very little. Marty MCA 38812 judge

I looked in to that system when we were putting Craig's car together. It looks like a real nice answer to the old Bendix system. We opted to wait due to the cost and not being able to drive it first. I think Mustangs Plus was going to handle it. If someone here does it I would really like to...

Ok I dont know my later Mustangs that well. What about a 68 1/2 R code CJ ? And assuming road gears.

I went to my 35th class reunion last night. I was talking to a couple of guys that had 71 Tornios, one had a super cobra jet. He said that his speedometer was a 120 mph and he could bury it he figured was going almost 200mph. Funny how those storys get better over the years especialy with a few...

My best freind has a 65 shelby clone that he mounted the antenna to the under side of the RH fender. It works great and he did not need to relocate the wire. Marty

Rob I talked with my front end guy to day. He is reasonably sure you have something binding some where. He suggested taking the tie rods off and moving things through their motions so you can pin point the problem. I agree with all above on poly strut bushings. Marty

That has been my blind spot many times in the past when trying to find a problem. It can't be that I replaced it with a new part. As previously mentioned you really can not allways depend on auto parts store replacements. Check everything! Marty

I just thought of this, take the drag link loose and see if the idler arm moves freely in both directions.

That is the earlyist one I have ever heard of. I think you are right on on the dates but I see if I can find out any more. Marty

I am not a great front end guy but it sounds like a worn ball joint or such. Do not really think the spring perches would cause that. Could you have some one else turn the wheel and watch under the car. Preferably in the shop not driving! I have a freind who is great with old car alignments. I...

I think you can go wider bigger in the same drums. I would pull offa drum a look where the outter wear mark is. When Ford installed power disc brakes they used a narrower rear shoe. Marty

Thanks Rob it takes one to to know one! My dad told me a long time ago the easiest thing thing in the world to do is quit when the going gets tough. Marty

I have been putting the heat on my body guys to get the HCS body done so we can have it there. What a perfect home coming that would be. I can't wait. Marty

Rob you are back and there is balance in the universe! I knew we could count on you. Marty

Actualy the S code 390 is the real reason for the end of the K code 289. In 67 when Ford introduced the S code it out sold the K code more than 2-1 because most were look in for all the Hp they could get and the S code was rated at 325 Hp to the K codes 271. The real killer was that the S code...

Very sad to say we did not make it there. I had looked forward for weeks to seeing you and your black pearl. Also was dissapointed for my son Craig who could hardly wait for the first show for his 67 GTA coupe. The one that I posted the over heating thread on. Saturday we primped polished and...

Sorry no harm intended I was hoping to provoke a comment out of Rob. I think he is working on a dozy watch out!! But seriously everyone needs to build our restore there car for them self. Do what ever you do with all the passion in your soul. Marty

David here are some pictures I took of it when I bought our HCS from Curtis. I thought it was cool that it still had the orginal spare. Marty

Neil Marty would know the differance! but it is what Oscar thinks that matters. Oscar if you would choose to stay with the Ford 4v intake I would not use the autolite 4300. The 4100 was a much better carb. I have had one on my car for 8 years and have not had to touch it. I am not a big fan of...
