I lived in china for 2 years, speak and write chinese and can say that china has always made cheap junk parts. I have been to many chinese...
Wow, sounds like a nice motor. Have you looked into Victor junior heads? I just had a set, but I sold them because the ports were way to big for...
Best thing I have found in 20 years for cleaning a motor is OVEN CLEANER.
I saw those numbers too and was wondering if those were a curb weight, with fuel and spare tire. Also I think those were for a 6 not a V8.
Procomp heads use a bottom of the line low grade aluminum. I dont remember off hand the grade of it but I do remember that they were the only...
The drop bracket should be in the correct location. The issues with them are that the lower two bolt holes were drilled too close together, other...
Personally to me a standard maverick is worth the same as a standard comet. In 25 years from now when all our cars become even more rare, I think...
Comets were made as far back as 1960. I think the 71-77 comets get called mavericks in part to distinguish which body style of a comet they are...
When you get into detailed racing and performance one of the things they stress and teach you is to keep as much weight off any of the moving...

YES dont do it. I hate to say it, but if your going through that much work , just take the time to do it right. You need to have the cowl off so...
34* is a good place to start. Note when your full advance in coming into effect, it should be in the 3500-3800 range.
LOL, I was going to say the same thing, the power booster braces are extremely nerdy in looks. You would probably rather be caught wearing womens...
You should never set timing by idle, dont worry about what you have at idle. You always set your timing by full advance, 3500+ rpm. As for the...
The lighting system has 3 basic grounds or at least on 71-72 comets. So yours should be close to the same. Rear ground is found inside the trunk...
MSD 5 is for daily drivers and I believe its only good up to 6,000rpm.
