I'm a fan of torque arms in upgrade/retrofit situations. They don't bind like a triangulated 4 link can at the extremes of suspension travel....
Here's a YouTube search on the Bendix power steering control valve. The system was used on cars in addition to Mustangs and Mavericks, including...
I had a 1970 Galaxie with that flex fan. It also had the wheel covers shown in the picture below. they had extra long, pot metal spokes that could...
These are both nice installations. Between being crossflow radiators and the increased frontal area they're a nice upgrade in cooling performance.
I've been in several of them, though never the Ford cave. Some are more nicely finished than others. Some of them are big enough inside to drive...
Yes, they stored Mavericks in the underground Kansas City warehouses known as "the caves." The area has a whole lot of warehouse space in...
I see, early cars with charcoal canisters are passive, but the systems sprouted a purge valve over time to flush it with fresh air and pull it...
I think I'm missing something here. Shouldn't the charcoal canister be connected to manifold vacuum, for example by putting a T in the PCV line?
This one is all set up for someone to buy sight unseen over the internet without looking too close. Underneath the front it looks like there's oil...
Love the car. I can't help you with market value, but whatever you find it's worth I wish it were in my garage.
That's always a good look on a Ford.
Welcome! Can't wait to hear your questions. Looks like a great project to get started.
Cool color, @Crash00034!
Look, I don't mean to be critical, but... You haven't confirmed the thermostat is good and it's installed properly, but you assume it is. You...
OK, let's go back to basics. Does it overheat mainly at idle, at speed, or no difference? I've previously read the whole thread, but I can't...
Sounds reasonable for it to be both. I haven't heard this explanation for it before, but it makes sense. It also makes sense that the water has to...
I'm not sure if the 302 will overheat from lack of water restriction, but some will. Water can flow through the radiator too fast to be adequately...
I love the look of that 69/70 Shelby unit. It looks old school but also brings to mind a modern splitter-style front end.
Welcome! Wow, you found a nice one!
