Marty's car/carb must have been recalled and had the Ford TSB secondary idle discharge port enlargement done. It was enlarged to the .028 opening. I am confident that the primary throttle plate screw fix will help its idle and transition to low speed operation smooth like it should be. I...

Marty's new HCS big block has the same screws that I found on a couple other 390 Holley 3795 carbs. His screws came out way easier than Sheryl's did!! Hope to get the Cougar out soon and dial this thing in for Marty. We have a foot of snow on the ground. Rob

Did you replace the gaskets under the carb? If so, the one between the PCV spacer and intake manifold may to be the correct one. The common 4 barrel gaskets hanging on the wall do not reach all the way under the outer edge of the spacer. I will give you the Felpro number for the correct...

so much fun I posted it twice......

I have experienced no problems with the newer Holley carbs. Not sure where Jamoaus's carb is leaking. Common problems with older ones are around the throttle shafts. I can rebush them if you want. Marty is right Arlie, I am ready to spend your money!! Scott is correct on the Holley Sniper...

Arlie, Another early GT/CS. Do you have its VIN and build date? Rob

Always willing to learn. I see that the your disc conversion does not incorporate a power assist. So in your opinion this conversion produces a light pedal effort when compared to your old manual drum system? I may need to suggest such a conversion to customers looking for a lighter pedal...

Never had a problem with drum components. The cheapest shoes are usually the softest and work alot better than the high dollar shoes. I would bet a stock GT/CS with stock size tires will have the same stopping distance whether drum or front disc. Again for one panic stop. But if your wallet...

This is Rob the modified guy! When it comes to brakes on our old cars these are my thoughts. Unless you are racing, towing a load, or have significantly changed your tires to a larger/softer implant, discs do very little. One other outlier is if you have just went down a STEEP hill then need...

They are super soft and the best part, they do not fall off! I am getting one for my shop to fit Mustangs! Rob

Anyone else seen these products? Got a 67 Camaro Convertible Indy Pace car in the shop now. Owner bought these and they are awesome!! Never fall off!! Rob https://bobsoriginalfendercovers.com/

All it needs is a Weiand Blower to give it a bunch of giddy up!!! Rob

Wonder why the 302 in the "Mustero" has the fan on backwards? The Carrell collection is absolutely awesome!

No left front side light either. This car requires a close up inspection. Rob

Atta boy Scott!!! My personal opinion is a quality restoration of this low option car would only increase in value if you added some of the options to it. Power steering and Power disc brakes will add to its value for sure. The GT rear valance and a nice sounding dual exhaust will also add to...

Wonder how it is different than a TKO 600?

Again, if it was pulled from the line to be converted to a GT/CS it would not show on the Marti report. The car was already built as a regular production 1968 Mustang coupe. That is what the Marti would say. An inspection by a knowledgeable person could identify some of the GT/CS parts and...

Marty, + one on that thought. I do not like car flippers. Buy it an love it. Car flippers screw up the hobby... Rob

Dad, Totally agree, but back in the day (early 70's) most people would just order the 68 grill and put it in the car. And if the front end accident was bad enough to damage the grill, the fog lights and grill mouth would be also be damaged. So in the case of a GT/CS being in cosmetic front end...
