  1. WOOOOW>.. Stop.. If you ordered your seat buns from CJ's and havent recieved them,, Cancel that order. Get them from mustangs unlimited instead.. The CJ buns are crap compared to the Mustang Unlimited ones.. I ordered one set from each place and ended up not liking the way that the cj's fit. They were not as solid as the MU's and there was a lot less meat to them.. The MU foam was top notch and thicker by probably a little less than a half inch.
  2. I would check your connections at the headlight switch.. You said your blinker dash lights are on? Is that when the blinker or flasher is on, or on constantly? If constant, thats really weird..

  4. Sorry,, what I meant by not connected was that the choke tube is not connected to the exhaust, so it actually doesnt come up to temp as quick as it would if it were connected. It opens up when the heat, radiating up from the motor warms the spring enough..

  6. Hey, I just put on my moulding with no problems using the mounting hardware that came with it.. The hardware were little spring clips. Basically a flat peice that had a small spring arm sticking up from it. You mount it with a nut through the nood and then first place the spring arm into the upper piece of the moulding and kind of push down and wrap it around so that the bottom of the moulding grabs onto the little plate. and its on..

  8. Wow, I just came accross this page and realized, holy crap, thats the same GT2 that is in Richard and Dustin's shop here in San Diego.. Ive been drooling over this thing every time I walk in and say hi.. First off, those two guys are awsome, they do great work and are probably the most honest shop in San Diego. Second, the turbo and tubing in this thing are crazy.. Its almost frankenstein-ish.. I love what they are doing to it and I really like your instrument panel too.. Keep up the good work man!

  10. I went with the Eliminator style fiberglass hood and I love it. It is functional, has the hole and everything so it gives you that couple of inches of clearance.. actually about 3 I think. I like the scoop mostly because it looks kind of like a boss scoop but not as tall so it doesnt stick out.. I never like the boss scoop. I think that your 351 should clear the stock hood.. but Im not tooo sure..

  14. Well Pac, I went ahead and picked up a bottle of gum out, poured it in to the tank with only about 4 gallons of gas in it. Let it sit a little while, then started it up and brought it up to temp with it stumbling all over the place. I ran it for about 15 minutes and took it around the block, still running like crap. I noticed that the gasket between the top plate of the carb and the bowl was a little wet, and had a little gas on it.. So I killed the car and let her sit. While it was running I watched my fuel filter to be sure it was staying full of gas, and it was so I knew it wasnt a blockage in the line, had to be the carb. After sitting for about 20 minutes I cranked it up again, and it ran rough for about 40 seconds and then I revved it and vroooomm... My baby was back.. I could feel and hear the difference in the car once the blockage was gone, and it runs like a bat out of hell again.. Good thing is, now I have pretty much convinced the wife that I need a new carb and intake or this will keep happending. And what better time to buy a new carb than right now with the edelbrock deal, Free air cleaner with the purchase of qualifying carb.. YAYY!

  16. Hey, welcome to your new addiction/money pit.. Ive got pretty much the same car, and a good start is brakes/suspension steering and then get into pepping up the motor. A great upgrade to the engine would be to get a new intake/ carb if you are still running a 2bbl and then some headers and an exhaust system. If you already have the 4bbl carb you could swap in a decent cam and hold on for a fun ride.. Since you are deployed you could just start stockpiling parts for when you get back home. Thats what I do when Im out to sea (NAVY) So order a couple of free parts magazines: Mustangs Unlimited, CJ Pony Parts.. and start drooling about what you want to add.. The parts mags actually really help you out with what you can or will or want to add to the car. Also serves as a guide for installation and lets you see what you may be missing just by browsing through.. So get a highlighter and start marking the things you want to pick up and then figure out what order you want to do it in.. My reccomendation 1. Suspension Brakes / Electrical 2. Steering 3. Intake Exhaust Engine upgrades (Engine pretties like valve covers, air cleaner) 4. Paint / Trim 5. Interior

  18. Good Idea Pac, I wonder if that cleaner would cut through a clog.. Its worth a shot. Though I think I will end up changing the fuel lines anyway. I noticed that someone must have tried jacking up the car from the rocker panel at some point and used the fuel line as a jacking spot.. Idiots..

  20. Maybe if I put some more gas in the car the pressure might push the fuel through whatever is blocking it. Possibly..
