I have an early Mustang with a Borgeson power steering box. I really like it. You have to get an aftermarket column since the steering shaft is...

I think early Mustang 3-sp/4-sp is a thinner mount than an AOD but still has the correct spacing on the trans.
In the 90s' at the Nashville AACA swap meet at the end of the day a guy was throwing away a Holley 4-bbl that didn't sell. Not a universal type,...
About 20 years ago I drove a slightly OT Corvette Roadster from Nashville to Atlanta to get the top put on (no top, no interior but a seat). It...
Because you would need an air compressor on board........
I had a Holley 600 DP instead of a 650 on a 327 so I voted 650.
Agree. That is why I bought a $2800 trailer instead of a $1500 trailer. I had them DOT inspect it and deliver it to the loading end. Cartage...
[ATTACH] I bought an old 42' van "cartage" trailer that included delivery for $2750. Had to have a tire replaced for $500. Paid $350 to have it...
I use a PVC cutter for heater hoses and an abrasive cutoff saw for radiator size.
Agree with Milton "M" style. Have had good luck with them. Some still USA made.
Hard core Chevy guy but '65 and (OT '69) Mustangs always appealed to me.
Don't have a photo, but I had a red/red '64 Impala with (later) large journal 327, 600 Holley double-pumper, Muncie 4-sp, 8" steel wheels all...
My 1943 2N tractor with 8BA flathead. It does have a more modern 2-speed fan.[ATTACH]
68 and 69 327s were large journal.
Strange-I registered a '65 Mustang this year that had not been tagged since '88. I had a title and bill of sale. No issues. I'm in Chattanooga.
455 is wider than a 350. Intake or block casting number would be a simple non-Olds-guy way to quickly figure it out.
My (fresh, stock) 8BA in a 2N tractor would not stay cool with a stock tractor radiator and small pusher fan. Got a '90-95 Taurus 2-speed fan and...
We don't have them in Tennessee either for non-commercial.
My son got married over the weekend near Wintergreen, Virginia. On the way back to Tennessee yesterday I saw this car being moved. At first...
IR used to have a repair center in White House TN. Had a friend of a friend that worked there. I understand they did factory rebuilds and did...
Curious why you say that is a design flaw? If you go to demolition derbies the front distributors get killed first a lot in the ones I've seen....
'68 327 has q-jet and a manifold oil fill. Got a motor from a '68 Impala like that.
I have beat them with a hammer too, but I agree a press makes them a lot easier. Hardest part is keeping the driveshaft level while doing them....
I agree. There is so much to tell and he was a character as well. Read his book(s) about a year ago and they are interesting. I enjoyed the...
Neat!
Lots of those go-home trucks also have GPS now. The owner can use the app on his phone and see where there are, where they have been, and how...
Have you checked the fuel sending unit lines? I had an OT Eldorado convertible that would idle fine but when you got on the gas it starved for...
A chain binder. https://www.amazon.com/Lever-Chain-Binder-Hooks-4-pack/dp/B000VLV6X8
FelPro. At least with an aluminum intake you can handle it. I put an iron one back on a 390 in an F250 and it was a bear to get it set back on...
