Oh, and RUBEN, glad you got it solved! With the custom radiator and fan, it sounds like you should have a top notch cooling system.
You can't just squeeze the hose to get air from the engine. The point of running the car to operating temp is to open the thermostat and to use...
302 is going to be the most economical. Engine mounts come in 2 parts, an engine side and a frame side. The engine side is unique to Mavericks,...
Do a 302... Easier and a bit less expensive than a 351. Way easier than a 350...
Yeah, that'd be a T5 most likely. They used a cable in Stangs. You need to read this T5 swap thread:...
Oh, as for the booster... Many Ford folks with Mavs, Falcons, and early Stangs, cars with small engine bays, use later model small brake boosters...
I have never used a cable. My conversion used the stock z-bar and I made my own pedal assembly. What tranny are you using? Have you thought...
Oh, and for those that love the big bumpers... Fairmonts/Zephyrs have aluminum big bumpers that are almost identical to ours. My son has a...
I know this is an old thread resurrection, but I'd like to point out that the door beams were added in 72. You need 70-71 doors to lose that...
No braces are bad for the car.:yup: No shave is bad for your sanity if you are running a 351.:biglaugh:
So a Pertronix IS wired only to the coil??? Wow, if so I have my foot in mouth! I have never seen any such thing, but I have never wired up a...
A collapsing lower hose is pretty obvious if you have someone rev the engine while you watch the hose. Have them rev it up a few times, then have...
On older cars like ours, it's just a matter of letting the car sit and run up to operating temp with the radiator cap off and heat on high. Then...
The fan is probably not big enough for the demand... Or Electric fans are reversible... Is it possible you have the fan running backwards. That...
Overheating... Stat Radiator Lower hose collapse Radiator cap not holding pressure Head gasket failure around cooling passages Air in the system...
Not having a spring doesn't hurt anything until the hose starts getting soft. It can be soft, yet still have plenty of life left before being...
The coil gets a wire from the distributor on the (-) side and the key switch on the (+) side. So one wire from the Pertronix goes to the (-) and...
How about voltage regulator?
The only thing I would point out is that sprung hoses have the spring secured to keep the water pump from sucking it up. I have been lucky and...
Again, I have never wired a Pertronix, but if this is how it is supposed to be wired, it is an odd way of doing it. Usually there is only one wire...
