cappy1.rm 10 Report post Posted June 11, 2014 Well, I finally got all my mustang`s problems ironed out, ( took 5 months ), but anyway,,, Rebuilt 351W, Edelbrock manifold, Holley 600 carb, new tranny, driveline rebalanced and trued. Rear diff was drained and refilled. New motor and tranny mounts.. New chrome Altenator and regulator with new wiring for that regulator. Finally.... it runs like a top,,. Am taking it to a car show this weekend. Checked mileage tonite after two nice afternoon cruises to the beach and back. 16.666 mpg.... I was going to be happy with 12mpg. Cruised around town tonite with a 2012 mustang. That was cool. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

clark1969 10 Report post Posted June 11, 2014 Last weekend I entered my 69 Grande' in the car show in Quincy, CA. It is also a 351W with Edelbrock intake and Holley carb. I drove about 350 miles round trip and got 17.5 mpg. Although only lightly modified, I entered it in the Modified Mustang, Camaro and Firebird Class and I took first place. YAHOO!

tony 63C 14 Report post Posted June 13, 2014 Agreed, sharp looking 1970 Cappy. BTW, how did you drain your rear end? Cheers, Tony Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cappy1.rm 10 Report post Posted June 14, 2014 Tony. I just went to Jiffy Lube, and had them suck it dry while another guy was changing tranny fluid . Brake fluid was changed when I had disc brakes installed on front end. I guess the rear end grease was some pretty bad looking stuff. It could have been 40 years old, I don't know for sure.
