Yes, I agree that I was blessed that KD took on this job. I've done a lot of hands on work on my car in my small garage with not many tools, but I knew from watching another friend add A/C to his A-body that this is one headache I would rather farm out. Since Greg had recently retired and I had...

Greg did a great job all around, including delivery. I couldn't be more pleased with how the work turned out and the interactions throughout. I looked things over in detail and we geeked out. The under hood presentation of the finished product looks even cleaner and well routed in person than...

remind us - what oil were you running before when getting lower pressures? I normally run 10-40.

If any of your current parts takes a dump and you need to order those 3 parts or parts that work with them, are all of them currently made in the USA?? I'm genuinely curious. I doubt it. When I had points before (which I loved), annual replacement points and condenser from the corner auto...

Mine stops pulling somewhere under 5500 and is a stump puller down low. Best 1/4 mile time of 12.80 at 108 mph and with practice can likely go faster. Greg, my little cam with .475 lift provides 523 ft-lb of torque. It doesn't sound as bitchin' as some of the bigger cams, but I'll take low RPM...

the problem with that is - it's not the 1960's or 1970's any more and many of the now new original equipment parts are outsourced outside of the USA, so quality is questionable all around. RTR is ready to run - an all in one distributor with built-in ECU and Voltage Regulator I believe. These...

wait, I thought you said the red wire is positive and the other black wire is ground? In reality is the red wire ground and the other 3 wires wrapped in black and connected to + terminal?

not necessarily. If the + and - wires are connected in reverse, then the motor will start, but the spark from the coil will be weaker and make it overheat.

Also, please let us know or show a photo of where exactly the coil ground cable is connected on the other end. If it's to the head, sometimes this can be a poor ground and cause coil overheating. With my blaster 2 I use a 1-ohm ballast resistor, but I have a Firecore electronic distributor.

If I zoom in on your coil photo, to me it looks like you have your + and - sides hooked up backwards. It looks like the large black ground wire is hooked up to coil + Also, don't leave the key on for too long without the engine running.

When I spoke with Dwayne Porter 6 years ago about possibly changing my Lunati Voodoo 60302 cam, I provided him all of the details of my motor and car. He told me he wouldn't change a thing. I was very surprised by his response and asked him why. He said it was mostly due to my pistons. I'm...

I didn't even know there was a calculator when I did mine. I just copied what someone else did and went with a fixed 28 inches. It might not be fully optimal, but I noticed a big reduction in drone. Either way you go, make sure you or your exhaust shop weld up both vertical hangers as well as...

your car is a 71? The underside looks a lot different than our 68-70 cars. Do you even need these added pieces? It looks like the stock floor already had subframe connectors built into the design? I'm just ignorant on this for your year car and just looking at your photos. After it's on the...

These guys don't want repeat business is all I can say.

In my limited experience going through this twice - helping my mechanic friend on a Sunday when he had access to his shop to help me with my car - we re-surfaced the fly wheel and installed new throwout bearing and clutch/pressure plate. When everything is brand new and lubed up like that, the...

I agree. I also had the interior in my car and my sub-frame connectors are welded at each end only. The difference with mine is I used tubular instead of rectangular connectors. The tubulars resist twist better (by how much I'm not sure). Some companies offer bolt-in connectors that bolt up on...

you guys made fast on posting up the videos! I hope the drive home was trouble-free. KD - so how did the re-built motor and re-charged A/C do for this trip?

And just to clarify - on my car I'm not running chambered mufflers. I run Dynamax Ultraflow Welded, which are a straight through design. Had some pretty annoying drone. I love a tough muscular rumble, but drone at speed for a long drive can get pretty annoying.

plus, they're directly next to the regular pipes, so they'll get pretty warm. Never IR gun temp measured them though.

When I installed this on my car, I found the length guidance on a mustang site. Seems that a lot of those guys are installing these. Here is a chart with various lengths. I didn't have this chart when I did mine and just went off of someone else's online advice and used a fixed length. The...
