I retired a year ago and thought I'd spend lots of time on here. Turns out I'm way busier then when I was working. A great problem to have :). I have to agree though, it's really disappointing not seeing photos. Hopefully this will change before too long. This is the only Mustang site I know of that hasn't got a bunch of judgmental wankers.

Hi all, I have a question re setting the Red Line of my 351 Cleveland. Specs are: 351 Cleveland 1970 with 4 bolt mains, Mild cam, 2V heads (stock), standard valve springs, 600 Holley, Edelbrock Performer, standard rod, 10.0:1 comp with normal pistons, extractors. What sort of RPM should I set the red line and what would be the limiting component, i.e. what would let go first? I've been using 5000 as the limit so far. Thanks, Mal

I just tried to add a pic even in reduced size and wouldn’t accept it. I hope this isn’t permanent

I’m not sure what will happen to these parts of China goes ahead with the takeover of Taiwan. Hopefully they will continue

I found this really interesting. Taiwan Makes American Trucks Great Again! Tour of Sheet Metal and Replacement Parts Factories (youtube.com)

Just in time for winter!

Very nice work

These Russian Hackers won't help.

Try running with the gas cap open/off. This will eliminate fuel tank venting as the cause.

Very cool

Definitely interested in these!

As someone who was chasing a vibration for almost 7 years I learnt that for me it was multiple sources. Makes if very hard to troubleshoot. I changed lots of things, sometimes more than once, and found each of the following made and improvement. Full engine balance Rebuilt tail shaft (3 times). Each timer it was out of true. Bent axles Rear Drums badly corroded. (I know this is odd, but it made a difference) Pinion Angles. For me 0deg difference did not work. Had to be 2 deg down at the front of the diff. I experimented with 1, 2, 3 and 4 deg shims until I got the best results. I have to be very careful bolting on the Magnum 500s to ensure I tighten the nuts in sequence, a little at a time or I will get a vibration. The holes appear worn. Will be replacing. While I still have a very minor vibration, it is almost completely gone.

Looks great

Thanks mate

Many thanks for this. I will give it a go
