I just bought bigger t-bars and a rebuilt steering box from Firm Feel for my Roadrunner. I want to upgrade the suspension so the car handles a little better than a school bus. It looks like I will have to drop the headers to do this and I only want to do that once. Firm Feel recommended their...

I agree with Acme on #2. No header wrap. While I don't know of anything negative regarding carb spacers, I also haven't noticed that they do anything positive either, in my experience. It would make sense that the fuel would be a little cooler but I don't know if that is really a problem...

I did a quick search the other day but couldn't find them. Will keep looking.

Bob, You are spot on. Here is a picture of how I think a Cobra engine bay is supposed to look. I feel the same about street rods. I think I'm in the minority but I get really sick of seeing these beautiful vintage Fords and all of them, almost without exception, is sporting a Brand X small...

A Cobra with a Chevy engine is an abomination! There is only one engine for that car and it's an FE big block. I have had plenty of similar experiences. There is one show I used to attend that had a bunch of street rod guys and a muscle car never had a chance. Only '40 Fords or some similar...

Were both temperature sensors in the same area of the block? If different you may never have seen the higher temps at the fan sensor.

yeah the idiots show up there too. I sold my Charger thee, and I had my Magnums listed there. best lpace I've sold stuff is right here. I didn't mean to imply that. I agree but I don't think it's a bad as Craigslist in my experience at least.

Good luck Sam, Did you consider Moparts? I don't know anyone who sold a car there but I have been happy buying and selling parts the site. Besides at least it's mostly Mopar guys so the idiot quotient should be smaller.

This morning I was thinking it might be cheaper and easier if I could find a fuel pump with 5/16" nipples so I called Carter to ask if they had a similar pump but with 5/16" nipples. I have the Carter 74029 here at the house. The guy gave me another part number but said either pump would only...

I decided to install an electric fuel pump in the roadrunner this week. I had it around for a few months but am just getting around to it. Here's the issue, the pump has 3/8" nipples and the fuel line is 5/16". This kind of irks me because I ordered a 3/8" line when I put in the hemi but sent...

Re: F&B 6BBL TBI XFI 2.0 Beautiful!!!!! Can't wait to hear it run.

Re: F&B 6BBL TBI XFI 2.0 That is going to be beautiful, except for the green part. From what I have seen tuning is the hard part of installing efi and I have known a few people to have a great deal of trouble. This was a few years ago and maybe things have gotten better. There is an ongoing...

My experience has been the same as Bob, Chris and George. I have had a 6AL in my Cobra for eight years with no trouble. I wonder how your shop determined the MSD box was bad. I had trouble with the first box I installed and returned one or two before I figured out that I did not have a good...

I use Valvoline Racing VR1 20W-50 in my cars also.

Will it pump fuel with the filter taken off? I don't understand what a return line gets you. If the tubing was new there may have been some stuff in it and it collected at the filter. Some of the stuff might dislodge from the filter when the engine quits running and then re-packs when the...

Also looks like a Charger dash. Were pistol grip shifters used in '69? I also liked the NADA book value!

Here is a picture. I remembered these as nicer than they appear to me now but I bought them when new was not available. I would powder coat them if I were to use them today but they are in very good shape. All of the studs are there as well as the "383" emblems. There is a slight indentation...

I will get some pics up today. I need to decide on a price but I will be reasonable. Jack

I thought that the resistor was supposed to drop the voltage to 9v. When I installed my MSD box the instructions said to hook up one wire to a switched 12v source such as the positive wire from the old coil if it did not come through the resistor which was not the case for me. I put a...

I am just getting ready to put 1.06" bars in my Roadrunner. I will be replacing the 0.88" t-bars which are too light. In fact I was going to call FirmFeel after I checked the site for the day. One thing I found was that it looks like the C-clips are not installed on the crossmember. Has...
