  1. 351 or 302 mods for Tri-y headers for AOD

    Depends how you define "fit". It took some fabrication but the 351 fits in my 93 just fine. The heater box was missing when I got it so I used a Vintage Air street rod HVAC system to keep the flat firewall. If he can modify those tri-y's, I'll bet he can handle it.
  2. Free 1969 Ford Mustang

    If it's real I hope the car ends up with someone who appreciates what it is. The tow bar tabs sticking out under the bumper make me think it used to be a drag car.
  3. Plastic Gas Tank Hole Fix.

    The rubber on that expansion plug will degrade and particles will end up getting drawn into your fuel system, I'd consider it a temporary fix and get a new tank as soon as you can. Then I'd add to the skid plate to defeat the next gas thief. I hope the dirt bag got a gas shower when he drilled...
  4. Dextron II substitute and Park Difficulty

    Valvoline Mercon/Dexron III will work. I did all the automatic transmissions at a Ford dealer for about 5 years and.I would never run a transmission with a line open until it spits air. I do drain and refill transmission services on my own vehicles, not flushes. If the fluid was really...
  5. Bronco II 302 swap

    The Explorer and T bird brackets and pulleys are supposed to be the shortest set up. I used fox Mustang stuff and had to mount my radiator inside the core support which took some doing. Street rod suppliers like Speedway might have something, too, but it's apt to be expensive.
  6. Introduction

    Welcome aboard. For those who didn't read the book, Tanstaafl is an acronym for There Ain't No Such Thing As A Free Lunch.
  7. Because I know you like the Cybertruck....

    That thing is homelier than a bag of toenails without the tent on the back, and the tent doesn't improve it's looks.
  8. carb kit questions...

    I've seen a lot of guys get in trouble with part numbers that were close but not the same. Breaking it down, the "D" identifies the 70's, "D7" indicates 77, the "Y" I believe means the part isn't model specific- a Pinto/Mustang II part would have an "F" in the 3rd spot, an LTD would have an "A"...
  9. What did you do to your Ranger today? (Part Deux!)

    I keep some on hand and get a replacement tube when it gets low. So far I've bought it from the dealer but that may change, the dealer I worked for has changed ownership twice since 2017 and their new parts manager has a GM background and can't find his backside with both hands.
  10. Duraspark II help

    It's Gary Baum's company, I see him every year at Carlise and often buy Mustang II parts from him. I don't suspect he has a website. Try secondgenerationmustang@comcast.net or 717-945-4409 or 717-656-3891.
  11. What did you do to your Ranger today? (Part Deux!)

    Amazon has it. Our Carquest also stocks Motorcraft.
  12. What did you do to your Ranger today? (Part Deux!)

    I use the gray Motorcraft silicone, it's way better than most of the other sealers.
  13. Duraspark II help

    Another possibility is to check with Mustang II vendors like Second Generation Mustang in Pa. I'd probably try one of those new ones first and hope a U.S. resident didn't have to pay the 20% "value added tax".
  14. What did you do to your Ranger today? (Part Deux!)

    I put the insurance back on my truck today. Once I wash off the winter's dust I'm going to drive it. I want to pull the dash bezel off and repaint it but that'll be after the ride.
  15. It is here; let us begin

    Asuming it's a V6, there will be a drain plug on each side located below the freeze plugs with an allenhead , hex head, or a square. A 93 would use the green ethylene glycol coolant. Distilled water is cheap- about $1.25 a gallon at Walmart here- and tap water usually has stuff in it that you...
  16. It is here; let us begin

    I've never flushed a cooling system with the engine running. Drain the radiator, pull the block drains and remove both heater hoses. Flush water through the heater core backward then forward- the water flows from the engine, through the core, and back to the water pump, in case you didn't know...
  17. It is here; let us begin

    Look everything over, you'll probably see other things that need attention.. I'd add replace brake hoses to your list. I second the opinion about your truck being a good starting point, especially because it isn't rusty. Up here we pay an awful price for road salt and repairing rust makes...
  18. Improving spark, Upgraded Ignition Coil VS. OEM Equivalent

    With the emissions requirements and pressure to deliver more mileage, the factory ignition is already "upgraded" and more won't gain much if any improvement. A Motorcraft coil will have the correct resistance along with known good quality. Motorcraft plugs will be the exact correct heat range...
  19. Total eclipse

    We were about 95% here. My wife and I took my welding mask over to the neighbors and we passed it around. At max coverage the light was eerie- kind of yellowish. The temperature dropped noticeably, too.
  20. Total eclipse

    We'll be 93-95% and the Northern part of the state will be 100%. The news is advising people to not stop in the middle of the road if they're driving when it gets dark, I wish it wasn't necessary to tell people that.
