    I am getting antique tags also and we have the same restrictions for them. But I am not worried about that. I will drive it anytime anyway. Thats not a big deal. I just need it to pass once and never again will I have to worry about it with the antique tags. They just mail me my new one with no fees too

    The interior is complete. All windows are in. I took through inspection three times now and have failed emissions every time. Everything else has passed. The hc at idle the first time through was 2800. The max limit is 900. So I lowered my timing from 15* to 8*, leaned the idle fuel mixture a little and put alcohol in the tank. Next time through was 1500. I pulled out in lot and adjusted the carb and lowered the timing again and ran through and it tested at 1200. I think I need to mess with the carb and timing more. I may have to down jet the carb or go with a smaller one. I originally was gonna put a 650 on it. But I went with a 750. The reason why is because of all the reading I've done about Cleveland's and such a lot recommended a 750 even on stock motor. Normally on a build as mine I would have used 650. Not sure what to do right now but I want to get it passed before my temp tag runs out

    I messed up. I forgot to put the screws in for the sunvisors before I installed the headliner so now I'm having a hard time finding the holes. If someone has the headliner out and can take detailed pics of the location of the visor mounting I should be able to locate the holes. Thanks

    I get it out there and let it be seen like others said. Every body and there brother wants their car in a magazine so I doubt contacting them will help. They probably get hundreds of emails daily about it.

     

    Mine old mustang was featured in magazine. I was at the dragstrip racing and they talked to me. I met with the editor at the end of the day for the photoshoot and information packet. About 9 months late it was published

    yea, i thought that seemed strange...apparently the "close ratio" trans was used in the boss 302 cars, and those motors made their power at higher rpms...so the trans was geared to reflect that, along with the rear..

     

    im just going with a mild roller 302 in my car for now, so its not going to be a high rpm car, thought it would be better for me to hunt down either an 8" or 8.8 and do the disc swap

    with a close ratio you don't really want a low gear ratio to go along with the cause you'll be shifting gears really fast.

    what are you looking to get for the 410 rear..Im in south jersey.

     

    I currently have an 8", not sure of gear ratio but assuming stock. I have the 4 speed close ratio toploader, and from what i read, i should atleast have 373 or it will be hard to get it rolling.

     

    thanks, Joe

     

    Sounds like a bunch of garbage you read. Any gear ratio will work with the 4 speed and not have a problem getting the car moving. But if your talking about ideal gears for performance with the 4 speed then yeah a 3.73 would be a nice choice.
