Re: Racing Mirror Disassembly and Repair

I've fixed a few of these, what you need to do is bend a #2 phillips screw driver into a "s" near the end, so it can reach the screw behind the mirror. Once you get the outside screw out, you only have to loosen the inside one because the attachment point is slotted (at least on the ones I've done w...

Re: STROKERS AND BODY FLEX!

Moderators, appologies for the thread hijack! 71440GTX, sorry if you think I'm disparaging your friends Satellite, I'm not. I was only trying to point out that a "chassis dyno" is just that, a " chassis dyno" and you have to take into account many variables. Thank you for confirming that, 1. Your fr...

Re: Rear Speaker & Blower Housing

I thought about the same thing a coupla' years ago, It seems that when I tried to install the adapter housing the trunk lid torsion bars interfered. Just what I remember, could be wrong though! Try it and let us know! :D

Re: Cleaning dash switches and other instrument cluster topi

I definitely wouldn't use soap and water! There is a Electric Contact cleaner available at most auto parts stores. It's very similar to Brake-Kleen, in fact it might be the same thing. It comes in a pressurized can, dries quickley and leaves no residue. I use to use it to clean my pick-up switches a...

Re: 72’ Road Runner/GTX restoration

Doug,Great Resto-mod! What kind of sub-frame connectors did you use? I plan on using sub-frame connectors in my project and I like the fact that you didn't have to cut through the floor pan to install these.

Re: Crankshaft tightness

Try pulling the rear main seals out and then re-torqueing the mains and see if that makes a difference, if it does then it the seals and not to worry, if it doesn't ... then you've got problems!

Re: Aluminum Radiator

I think you have to run a separate tranny cooler with that style of rad. That depends on your set-up and how and where you use your vehicle. A street driven car with a mild torque converter, should have the cooler run through the radiator. The engine coolant will warm the trans fluid up on a cold s...

Re: Aluminum Radiator

Hi, new to this forum and really enjoy it. I've researched Aluminum radiators a bit for one of my other cars,a modified 67' Belevedere 1, and I think you should check out Engineered Cooling Products, they have a very informative Web site. I wish I would have stumbled across it before I bought mine.
