Hmmm, chin spoiler. Often wondered what my car would look like with one of those. Now I know. Can't decide if I like it or not. Not bad looking though!

Happy Friday everyone! I'm in process of installing the Borgeson setup in my car. I'm trying to figure out if I have collapsed the steering column as far as it can go. See attached pic. In talking to Borgeson they told me I should not need to cut anything to make it fit. It should be a...

I realized I haven't published any pics of what I have done to the car since I got it. Thought I would throw out some images of what I've done. It's all stuff that can't be seen for the most part! Here's the list: Installed Global West front Coil Over set up. Installed Global West rear leaf...

Looking for a set of blue seat belts for the rear of my car. Anyone have a set they want to sell?

Well I think everyone has convinced me to shelve the 289 and get a crate motor. Anyone have experience with this guy: http://www.fordstrokers.com/ ? I talked to him for a long time today about a 347 for my car and I can tell he knows his stuff. Very helpful. Come to find out his shop is...

Thanks for the info. Typical of many cars I've worked on over the years the problem seemed to resolve itself yesterday. When I got home I hit the key one time and it fired up and never died. I did adjust the screws on the carb to make it run a little more rich and it seems very happy. I...

On my C Code I have replaced the fuel pump, fuel lines, fuel filter and carb. All are Edelbrock components. Here's the issue. When I got the car running it idles really well. When I rev the engine it dies out when it idles down. Then it is very hard to restart the car. Thoughts? I spoke...

Forgot to post an update on this one. I ordered a reproduction balancer to replace this one. When I pulled it off I realized what I had. Turns out it was the stock balancer with the outter ring missing! Yikes! No wonder the last owner had issues timing the car! What I thought was burnt...

Does your switch mount with one or two of those? The switch I have from NPD has two holes. The bottom of my dash looks like Swiss cheese so it's hard to find two holes that line up.

This does help! At least I have a rough idea of scale for the fastener.

Anyone know what size bolts are needed to attach the fog light switch to the dash?

Thanks for the info Rob. I'll certainly call you when I get to the point of figuring out what I want to do with the engine.

Now that's the post I'm looking for!!! I literally stood up and clapped for you after reading this. Ha! Thanks for the great info.

I've talked to several engine builders in the area about the skirt length and from what I understand they are exactly the same. If there is a difference it is nominal at best where it doesn't make a difference. I've also read in several places that the 302 and 289 block are the same in 68...

Not a bad thought. But I really want to use the original engine. My other thought was to build it to a 289 K-Code spec. Sounds like it would be fairly easy to do.

Yikes! Well I can honestly say I won't be drag racing the car and adding NOS. Just doing a lot of burnouts and acting juvenile at all chances! Don't drag race either. I'll probalby track race my car in the long run.

Hello all, Plugging away at getting my GT/CS to get it road worthy still. I hope to have it back on the road by September. Looking ahead to this winter I am planning on rebuilding the engine. I'd like to take the 289 C code to a 347 stroker. My intent would be to build it to handle a Super...

Ooops, sorry about that guys. My brain was already on vacation!

Another one for sale in my old neck of the woods. Great looking car and they have an image of the Marti.

I think this car was on Ebay a while back in Nevada. Looks like the important items are all there. Nice color. If I had space I might get this one myself! http://grandrapids.craigslist.org/cto/3845690921.html
