I haven't been on any of the forums in a long time . My user name is OK_Chevrolet on Steve's nova site. This forum is the only one I can remember the password to. Too many car too many forums and not enough time. Don't you live in nor cal. I'm in Grass Valley, CA just east of Sac.

I am planning to custom building my intake & muli-port fuel injection system. I'd love to do a propane injection system. BIG $$$$ so I'll be running gas or alcohol . I also want to build a still so I can make my own fuel.

Thanks, I bookmarked that one. I need a radiator for my Willys wagon soon.

I had a problem with my fuel tank pinching the fuel lines against the trunk. My car hasn't been running for years so I don't remember the symptoms.

Yeh, I don't know why I did it. I remember looking for an aluminum radiator but at the time I don't think there was much to chose from.

Fuel economy Not knowing works best for me. Headers made a big change for me in freed up power. Also got Redline oil in Engine, Trans, and Diff. I am planning on changing the intake and running fuel injection. I have also been thinking about putting a T-5 trans in it as well. A side note I...

Sent out my radiator for a re-core $475 That is with my wholesale discount. I getting a high efficiency core that will put it around $525. I am still waiting on the paint shop.(shop #2) 2 1/2 years is just stupid.

Hey ASTROdog, Did you ever get the air bags on? Hope your progress is going better than mine. I have had my '61 in 2 body shops for the past 2 years. (Trade work sucks sometimes) I need to learn to paint.

Larry, The stock thermostat is 180 degree they do offer a 160, but I wouldn't put that in my car. Thermostats do 2 things they open at a given temp and they control the coolant flow. In other words if you remove your T-stat your temp guage may read cool but the fast flowing water dosen't have...

I'm looking for some fender skirts for my '61 New or used. I think I'm going to get them from Big Jim @ www.bigjims.net for $129.00 a pair. Has anyone tried these?

ozbird63, I've heard better things about Dennis Carpenter @ www.dennis-carpenter.com and Thunderbird Headquarters @ www.tbirdhq.com I've heard lesser things about Larry's Thunderbird & Mustang. I personally have not used any of them yet!

Klaus, I've seen this happen many times when people install Automatic transmisions. Mostly caused by the torque converter not being completly seated into the trans. Some times this is easyer said then done. The lugs or splines need to line up. I've also seen burrs on the input shaft and in the...

Larry, My '61 has a ground wire added to the Right tail light. I did not do it but It looks like someone just drilled a hole thru the light bucket all the way threw to the trunk. Lag screws on both ends. I could take a picture if you want but theres not much to see. (e-mail me for pics) I don't...

I'm looking to replace my old radiator with a new aluminum unit. I looking to find a drop in unit verses a custom built one. Has anyone done this and what did you use?

Valve Tube Head SORRY It took so long to get back to you. I missed your post. Anyway I think I've got more room on the Left side then the Right.I'm sure there is a 1/4 in. on the Right. I need a feeler guage for the Left. But my mounts are all a bit flat. I also see a spot were the pitman...

I'd be interested in the front disc brakes and spindals.

If you end up parting it out let me know. I'm missing my skirts. Thanks A.J. [email protected]

I Love my new Headers! Huge power gain even with my restrictive mufflers and tail pipes. I went with the ceramic headers and it dose seem to keep the engine compartment cool. Plus they look good. Had to remove both motor mounts and tilt the engine to get them in place. I also kept the...

Here is some more info on the headers. I'll post my thoughts on the product as soon as I get a pair. http://www.fordpowertrain.com/Headers.htm No picture yet. A.J. , What we designed was predicated on the fact that there was "NO" room for options ! I thought that our 428 Cobra Jet Mustang...
