I have the 427-crate motor in my 95 R and a friend is about to give it a new tune. The specs are close to the comp cams XR 294 RF-HR but ford paperwork has a slightly higher lift. We need events for intake and exhaust open and close for something he wants to do as far as firing the injectors...
A friend asked me to help with a build for his wife of a car that has been in the family a very long time. Car is a May 64 build date 260 3 speed I believe. Supposed to be a solid shell, but currently has a non-running 89 302 drivetrain available. Is there anything about this being an early...
I need a car next month out of town for a few days and my wife heard about Turo instead of conventional rentals. You can get the car at the airport, and it seems too good to be real, so it probably is. Any input would be appreciated. Especially liability insurance.
I have a 2003 explorer with 200k that I bought new. Has served me well, but I have to take long (2000) mile road trips to see customers about 5-6 times a year. I have been renting thru Costco, which has worked well, while I decide what to get next. Would need to be at least a hatchback, but...
We have been running Lemons in a 94 escort, 15 races or so, one win and several good finishes, and are looking at running Champ. Anyone that's run the series that can give me some insight on pros and cons, and differences between Champ and Lemons? I have the rulebook, but curious about how...
I have a place in the country that is off grid, no power, lots of trees and wildlife, and Id like to keep it that way. Would like to power some lights and security system, as well as some trickle chargers in the shop for my toys out there. It does have a well on 220 that I wouldn't mind...
Who is vintage racing their 95R? Mine already has SCCA history and a logbook. What do I need to know before we do anything.
Thanks for your time,
Steve
The rear tubular control arms have a little slop between the bushing and the rear axle mounts on my 95 R. It uses a heim joint with bushings on either side. Never bothered me on the track, but makes a lot of noise on the street. Is there any reason I cant shim the bushing tight to the...
I'm reviving an old project that I built for my dad years ago. 1965 ford F100 with a 1962 Pontiac 389 6 pack and 700R4. Long family story for the engine. Going to make it more of a daily driver, so I figure FI is a must. Current 6 pack is a PITA and a gas hog. Tank sits right behind the...
The local boy scout troop has a 1992 IDI ambulance with about 90K on it. It sits a lot so they seem to have to jump the battery, but other than that, its a good driver, new tires, exhaust repair, etc. They are looking to get a 15 passenger van from enterprise and are wondering how to unload...
Doing a numbers match rebuild. I need a core or decent original distributor for a 1968 mustang, 302 4v Manual transmission dual vaccuum
C8ZF 12127-A March or earlier production.
Any leads would be appreciated.
Wife says its ok to get a TV for the play room, so I want a 50-55 inch decent for tv as well as gaming. I know its late, but any ideas on cyber Monday deals. Prefer not to go over $400
So I'm driving home in nasty weather a few days ago, thinking, what would I grab at the store if I only had 5 minutes to get in and out, get home and hunker down? I live in a tornado area, so I have enough laid up in the basement for a quick event, but what if we are down for 3-5 days...
TV said one insurance Co alone will have over 30,000 cars to dispose of from Houston. Seems like if the east coast gets hit too, there will be a boatload of flood cars on the market in about a month. Does anyone deal in these things?
I have property with no power that I still would like to have some form of security on. I have been using a few primos DPS trail cams that run on 8 AA batteries and 32 SD cards. One has died, so I'm looking at options to replace it. Some of the no glow infrared cams seem interesting, as the...
Think I will take the family to DC this summer. Hotel parking is crazy by the capital. Not spending $250 a night either. OK Washington pros, fire up the suggestions. Have a call into Donnie, but it seems he is out of town, and his couch is very old and lumpy.
