    rear axle ratio

    ...My J-code 302/ 4v has the factory 3.00 ratio. Plenty of "go" off the line, yet comfortable @ 70 mph. 'Gets about 13/18 mpg. Both 390s have 3.25 and go like hell out of the chute, but like to cruise around 55/60 mph @ 8/10 mpg. (4/6 when Don drove it) The C-code has a 2.79 and gets around...

    Farewell

    Paul, his announcement was likely his way of saying "I don't fit your clique". And based my experience, you should consider a clause within your next stirr session that states you'll only consider opinions that already agree with you! With all of the diverse talent and ways people like to...

    Farewell

    ...He's made alot of nice contributions here aleady. Perhaps where some view this site as a "family", others may view it more as belonging to a non-profit group or club of sorts. A family demands participation and problem solving where in a club and as a volunteer, no obligation really...

    Electrical Problem?!?!?

    ...Mike, I just replace a solenoid that did the exact same thing. Before it quit altogether - there was a hesitation from the time I turned the key to when the engine began to crank. When it quit - it cranked with no spark on the points, dist. and coil. Steve - my brother in law explained it...

    '68 GT/CS vs. '07/'08 GT/CS

    Steve, you remind me of a RR engineer friend I have in Wyoming. At an annual get-together in Reno, he was showing us pics of all his vehicles and property... His description went something like this: "Here's my Vet, Here's my Cad, Here's my boat, Here's my truck, Here's my other Vet and...

    '68 GT/CS vs. '07/'08 GT/CS

    '68 GT/CS vs. '07/'08 GT/CS

    Paul, you began this with "need to talk out...." and ".....it's time to hash out the thoughts and feelings........... and come to some sort of understanding about just what these Mustangs represent for us." My opinion is it's a very individual thing and each of us already understands what our...

    '68 GT/CS vs. '07/'08 GT/CS

    ...People and their individual taste (respect thereof) is all that matters to me. If I'm to show off w/ pride my '68 CS, Mach Is or anything else - I must also respect (and do) newer car and Corvette, Camaro, Chrysler et-al owners likewise. The need to "talk about it" seems to imply that an...
