- Thread starter bmxr152
- Start date
O nice thanks a lot. Ive been looking for a site for some information.
no problem. looks like a gool project. have fun with it.
Yeah im going to order my ignition tune up stuff this week.
Distributor, wires, coil, starter solenoid, plugs.
Distributor, wires, coil, starter solenoid, plugs.
So its been a while, but got the thing finally started. Rebuilt the carb, new mallory dis., msd plug wires, msd coil, plugs, and fresh oils and fluids. I still need to bleed the brakes before i drive it. Ill post a video of it tomarrow. Its kinda a unknown car, since the guy who bought it from the original owner didnt know what was done, but i can tell you its got a big cam, and some high CR pistons.
I wouldn't mind having one of those or a 72' Ranchero with a 351.
Its funny, how i always got on my dad for buying a svt focus becuase it was a ford, no i own a 97 cobra, and a 72 torino, which my dad has over 90k miles on his focus with no problems and i have over 130k and everything is from the factory except the king cobra clutch. And as far as the torino i know its going to be even more bullet proof. Im thinking if i ever blow the 306, im gunna throw a 460 or a built 351.
Awesome, I love old cars! I wouldn't do the vinyl top. Too much chance of water seeping under it and rusting out. I dig the Starsky paint job, but I think it would be cool to do it in black with a tungston stripe. I have one more car to buy, Magnum with a Hemi(there's no excuse for a mini van with this car out there), and I have to rebuild my old 73 Grande from high school, and my dad's 68 Elke before I can get another car. Oh, and finish my engine build on my 99! Good luck man, it's all worth it in the end.
