Re: Note to Concervatives I agree. I was talking about the same thing when Reagan,Bush (1) and Clinton were protecting us from....WHAT. I also recall when the govt. owned Brit cars went down the tubes. "It doesn't take a weatherman to know which way the wind blows."(Dylan)

Not to be anal, but the 428CJ came in the late '68 GT500KR's. The '67s and non KR '68 GT500s had dual quad 428PI engines. There were later 351CJ (went into some Panteras) and 429 versions. You are correct in that no 289 CJs were made. Maybe he meant Cobra 289...but, I agree that it sounds like...

I'd guess one is a Rolls( kind of obvious) and the other maybe a Renault.

As for the cracks, fiberglass is easy to work with, early cars like this didn't typically have the gelcoat that is common now, so they often have spyder cracks... easily repaired.Reinforcing is pretty straight forward as well, just make sure to sand thoroughly and use some acetone to clean any...

Definetly a Kellison. I think on the link that was posted is a pic or 2 of one(Blue) that is likely on a Fiero chassis, from the way it sits and the wheels on it. I priced out a new Corvair shield just a couple months ago and it was only $185. I still don't like the curve of it in relation to...

I think early ones used various engines, that is a Cortina (Kent 1500/1600?), the Cortina experts will know more. Same engine that launched another tuner/maker, Lotus/Chapman. I think the era of the Mangusta was when the V8 became what they were known for. Prior to that they were mainly a...

Nice pics, however..in winter works 2 aren't the first 4 pics of a Porsche engine...not the GT40? The carnk looked odd and as I examined the other pics they resemble a Porsche and are definitely not a Ford V8

The spigot indicates it is a late model 5.0 pump. Since the diameter of the impeller is hard to determine in the pics it may be the later "small" diameter one. I would feel pretty certain it is a serpentine belt pump, so it will be reverse rotation. I believe it was '93, but it could have been...

I would have to second( maybe third or fourth by now) the "contact Edelbrock" sentiments. In my opinion that is a manufacturing defect. Since they are press fit. either the shaft is somewhat undersize or the impeller hole is somewhat oversize, possibly a combination of both. They should take...

Me too, I routinely delete one of my sister's e-mails because EVERYTHING she gets she forwards....never even checks the stuff out. I heard about key cards a few years ago, at that time the hotel I stayed at informed me that they didn't do that, although some still did. They didn't say whether...

I believe that many of the "catch" phrases used, in this and other legislation, border on class warfare. Odd since everyone wants to be rich( well not everyone, I don't) or achieve some level of financial success. It always appears to me when discussions/debates get into that area, rationale and...

AMEN!!!

I seperated this from the previous post, because it should be. When I ran for office at the state level, health costs were a common question. My solution is two fold, first stop govt. subsidies of drug companies. Look into it, it may shock you. Secondly divide health care into 2...

First, I agree we need to level the playing field, I don't see this as it. I also don't agree with the sentiment that this is better than nothing and we can "tweak" it. I have NEVER seen any political screw up be rescinded or tweaked. Any attempt those morns make is just another screw up for...

I have found this term extremely annoying. Sure it sounds so nice, but would you wreck your car and then get full coverage after the fact and expect them to repair it?? Hell no, and I'd like to be there when they laughed at you for suggesting it. Insurance is INSURANCE...it's not a winning...

I doubt that you could get better drivability and fuel mileage than what you can achieve with the EFI that is on the later 5.0s. I had an '89 GT( heaviest version) and regularly got 29+ driving in the 80mph range. You would want the mass flow and not the speed density. The MF is very tunable for...

We did a Beetle chop at a Rod show several years back as a demonstration of the shops' work. We did it all in a few hours. No paint or final bodywork. We did all the doors and leaded the joints, people were amazed that we could set up and do it and get it loaded back up. It was a Super w/strut...

As I have a couple of VW based projects, I have a couple questions. First regards the "slice" you took from the front frame stub. I know that it is wedged, but what was the amount taken at the top? Was it a defined amount or was it just a stab? The second is in terms of the rear suspension. Now...

Everyone will likely have their own preference, mine is S100. It's sold through most bike shops, also known as "Total Cycle Cleaner". I have used it for nearly 20 years and find new benefits all the time. The most astonishing was the removal of surface rust, it's incredible. I usually get it in...
