Headers for 69 Fastback

[Headers for 69 Fastback]

I am looking for a good set for my 428 CJ 4-speed. Is hooker the best way to go?

I dont want to sound cheap, but they are really expensive!

 

I've had no problems with mine.

[Trap door question]

When you open the door it will bow that bent rod out with the other bracked and hold the door up. When you go to lower the door, you grab that bent rod and bow it away from the bracket so it wil pass. Hard to explain, you just have to play with it.

[High speed vibration.]

I'll try these things. What angle should the drive line angle be at? I assume I would measure this from the trans mount welded to the floor back to the trans housing? I also didn't know they balanced drive shafts without the u-joints.

[High speed vibration.]

It could be something as simple as having the u-joint grease fittings not 180 of each other, as it will cause a vibration after a short time in the driveline.

 

I wouldn't think this would matter if they balanced it after putting the u-joints on. Also, I tried putting it in neutral and it didn't matter if it was in gear or not with the clutch out.

[High speed vibration.]

Well try it and report back.

Doesn't matter if there was 5 miles on the parts if something is off balance.

Understand, what I was getting at is none of those part have much wear on them. And I will try it. Thanks

[Sail Panel Installation - Mach1]

They go in before the rear window. The rubber molding holds the rear of them in.

[High speed vibration.]

All that stuff has 4k on it from a ground up restro. Athough I did not try putting it in neutral and letting the clutch out.

[High speed vibration.]

Ok, I was merging on the highway the other day and decided to push it and run it through the gears. I ran it up to around 90mpg and let off and pushed the clutch in so the motor wasn’t working so hard until I got back to the speed limit. As soon as I push the clutch in I get a fast vibration in the drive line and as I slow down some and I let the clutch back out the vibration goes away? What the heck could this be? Before I had my driveshaft balanced I got the same type of vibration, clutch in or out. I also know my driveshaft yoke has some wear because the rear of the trans leaks. Any ideas?

[What kind of sealer to use on rear glass?]

I want something similar to the original. Will 3M 8609 do it?

[Rear end housing]

I twisted my spring perches on my rear end. I had them cut off and new ones welded on and had them boxed. I also had them check the rearend to make sure the axle bearings lined up correctly. The next thing I messed up was the rear springs but I don't have caltracs, that’s on my list.

[Rear speaker]

I think I'll get these panels and make a baffle behind them. Hope these panels are stronger than the other repro crap I've bought.

Let us know how the fit and finnish is on these.

[Overheating question]

I suggest kool flow for the water pump.

[Need a rare drip rail molding urgently!]

Are those from a fastback Ranger?

Those don't look right...

[Cruzzar finally finished]

Very nice, the cold air inlets are on the outsides of the headlights aren't they? If I remember correctly and I think I can see them.

[Need some birthday ideas]

I got my 3 point retractable seat belts from Wesco Performance and love them. You can get the roller perches from Open tracker on ebay for a good price.

Do you have any pictures how the seatbelts look in the car?

[Rear speaker]

They also make the rear trim panels on each side of the seat (one with the arm rests) that have provisions for speakers, so that you don't hack up your originals.

 

I haven't seen those? Where can you get them, I'd like to see a picture of them.

[Need Engine Advice....351 or 390?]

My vote would be for the 351 also if your car didn’t come with a BB. The block you have also is a marine block with extra webbing and will be a good block to start with.

[1969 Mach 1 Clock Green Dial Pointer]

Here’s one for you, the Mach 1 on the dash and the side of the car are different. One of them has a roman numeral and the other does not for the number one. I guess the interior engineers and the body engineers didn’t talk to each other.

[Brake pedal isn't secure (sway). Thoughts?]

Some pictures might help.

[Low vacuum race cam]

I can't see how AC and power steering would increase engine vacuum?

Thanks for the insight guys...
