Mach1 Driver

Correcto-mundo, that was said by Master Sergeant Farell. Sadly Bill Paxton passed away in 2017. Some people also know the film as Tom Cruise's "Live, Die, Repeat". Anyone else want to share some memorable movie quotes?

...and our bandwidth has been restored. Welcome back. "It's a new day people" is the beginning of a rant from a drill sergeant- does anyone know which movie these quotes originate from? Battle is the Great Redeemer. It is the fiery crucible in which true heroes are forged. The one place where all men truly share the same rank, regardless of what kind of parasitic scum they were going in. I see everyone is having a productive morning. You know it gives me a swell of pride knowing soldiers of your... caliber will be leading the charge tomorrow. Tip of the spear. Edge of the knife. Crack of my ass. Are you an American? No, *sir*. I'm from *Kentucky*.

Wowers! Fascinating isn't it?

Huh, good idea Bob, and you can see how they moved in relation to one another. Your engine is entirely too clean. smh00n, lots of people recommend Remflex graphite header gaskets

FYI, you are asking a question to a 10 year old post. If you have a question it would be best to start a new post. If it helps, here is another illustration:

Great, just another thing to look out for. It does begin to explain some responses though doesn't it? Some estimates say that half of internet activity is now by AI bots. As recently as five years ago that would have been unthinkable.

What the hell? If that's really an AI, we (the world) are in big trouble. We're going to have to start checking members for heart beats. Notice this is in response to a 5 year old post. What if it starts responding to EVERY post ever written on this site? Bob, Phil, and of course Ben, since this could easily take the forum down, I'm thinking you probably need to formulate a plan.

For some reason most guys today will use gas shocks, but these cars were designed for hydraulic shocks- watch this video to understand the difference. I would watch the entire thing to understand the relationship of springs and shocks and how shocks can change the spring rate, but in particular he mentions shocks at 5:30 and again at 18:00

the fastback rear window hinges at the front and opens slightly at the back- it doesn't roll up and down.

FYI Edelbrock lists the 2181Performer as having a pad height of 4.07"

Have you ever had vapor lock without a return? Is it ever driven in stop and go traffic, or maybe turned off for a short period and won't start?

Yes thanks. I can't offer much help as I have a 351w and the accessory drives are attached quite differently.

Well dang, none of the links can be copied and pasted to see what it is. Do you have the "snipping tool" to take a picture?

Recap, I have a bone stock 351w that is a 2v. Curiosity got the better of me so I finally pulled my carb and distributor to measure my intake manifold on the car. As stangs-R-me speculated, the 2V is the same height as the 4V, or 3.00". Using playdoh on the stock air cleaner in four positions, it is 2.016" to the hood at the closest position. This is with the 1.025" high aluminum spacer that the PCV connects to. The Weiand is 4.715 tall so even with a 1" spacer and stock air cleaner my math says it should clear the hood by 0.300. Double check please. Edit: If you have a Mach1 hood scoop (not shaker), the three bolts on each side need shortening to the nut. The following numbers are with the 1" PCV spacer. The front and rear bolts appear to be outboard of the raised ring on the filter lid where the air filter contacts. However, the center nuts are in the way. You could remove them entirely or maybe shorten the height of the nuts. It is difficult to get a good number with playdoh but I calculate clearance to the nut at 0.243 to 0.055 using the Weiand Stealth manifold. With the Edelbrock 7181 it is even worse with clearance to the nut of 0.158 or actual interference of 0.030. The Edelbrock 2181 Performer would have at least 0.700 clearance to the nut.

Personally I wouldn't bother with the stock strut rods, opting for something like Street or Track. The "before video" scared the crap out of me. Watch the bushing compress, the strut rod bend and the wheel moving forward and back: here is the "after video": https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-1-d&sxsrf=APwXEdcwjMSCLI8Sd0eJOSfhlobl6GwdVA:1682184069029&q=66+mustang+strut+rod+issue&tbm=vid&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjaiYb__73-AhVRmmoFHbxlB8YQ0pQJegQIChAB&biw=1280&bih=570&dpr=1.5#fpstate=ive&vld=cid:8c4805a0,vid:mKc7EfsnKoA

This may help, it is a list of all the 4V intakes I have found for a 351W. I currently have a 2V, and my goal is to use the stock air cleaner on a 4V (no shaker). Everything above 4.8" is listed as a race manifold.

Heck, I wouldn't do it but Tinman did an installation video on a 67 with it sitting sideways on a rotis: https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-1-d&sxsrf=APwXEdeGGcvTODd3jbQaie-WEJs0X_eoeA:1681944641256&q=tin+man+mustang+sub+frame+connectors&tbm=vid&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwijv_6GhLf-AhXTSzABHYQXDJsQ0pQJegQIChAB&biw=1280&bih=570&dpr=1.5#fpstate=ive&vld=cid:b5c02a0d,vid:exeONRNM8zY

I thought it was because he laid off the Cactus Juice

Hi Dave, yes they said it was the length. I didn't get into it since I don't have Borgeson.

The original Ididit columns were only designed to fit GM steering wheels, but now are made to fit our Fords. The slip ring assembly for the horns didn't line-up. I don't know when these became available, but it was news to me, so this is like a public service announcement ;) I only checked for the 69, but the things to look for: The top of the column is a close match, the original was 3.965, and the new one is 4.00 It has the the EM flasher switch and turn signal switch This column will only work with the original factory power assist (or manual), but not Borgeson The slip ring works, fitting the original steering wheel so the horn will work. It is collapsible just like the OEM to meet safety regulations. The whole thing is said to be a direct replacement, giving you a tilt wheel. The part number for a 69 paintable column is 1300646010 (currently $781) The rag joint is 3000053434 I haven't tried this yet but now we have an alternative to finding the unicorn OEM columns

This is an alternate method of disabling an MSD box, and it comes directly from Holley:

As I recall, with the white wire grounded it doesn't get an RPM signal so the EFI stays off.

The point is moot now, but I was thinking of the part in the second photo (above)

West Coast Classic Cougar had the register, but I'll bet you're looking for the duct? https://secure.cougarpartscatalog.com/store/Search.aspx?SearchTerms=center ac vent&CatID=15896
