Yep, these guys have steered you right. My '53 Special is slow, but more like 0-60 in 15 seconds slow.
I have an Innovate that I use to get the carb right, and then it goes back in the box. Long ago, I bought a tailpipe adapter with a long cord so I...
You may want to check the hub size on your brakes/axles and compare it to the new wheels. I've never looked into it carefully because my '63 still...
It's cheesy, but I've had good luck for years with a Mr. Gasket "Gasket Stack." It has something like three gaskets with aluminum plates in...
That's frustrating. We all hate doing a job twice.
Ha ha...I was checking the gasket orientation, too. I made that mistake on a 289 when I was 17 and I got to do the job over again. The internet...
I have three - I hope the Skylark isn't too new as a '65. The Riviera's a '63 and the Special is a '53, the last of the straight eights. Although...
I could! Of course, a few of the addresses belonged to my parents and grandparents. Unfortunately, the Riviera lived a thousand miles away in the...
My '63 Riviera was owned by the same extended family since new (until I bought it in 2022), so I got the original title and a bunch of other stuff...
Here's another vote for Rusty - he rebuilt the speedometer for my '63 Thunderbird and did a great job.
I'd drive it before rejetting it. I stuck my wideband on my '63 Thunderbird with a 4100 and stock jets, and it was close to perfect. I wouldn't...
Ha ha - It could also be parked! A Dynaflow doesn't need to be running to leak. :)
If you remove the inspection plate on the Dynaflow, you'll notice that there are a lot of small bolts on the torque converter. Go through and make...
I had this problem just about 25 years ago when I was a kid working on an OT 289. Ford changed the timing cover around March 15, 1965, and they...
