Re: Tacho install

i actually quite like what you've done there, i wouldn't be in too much of a rush to change it back. Sounds like some major customisation required for anything oem looking!

Re: Tacho install

thats smart but looks like it will only fit the 67 as too small for the main pods

Tacho install

Something which I can find nowhere on the net, is a 67 - 71 Tbird with a tach installed.
Does anyone have any idea which one best suits and best fitting position for it ?!

Valve clearances

Hi,
Does anyone know what the inlet and exhaust valve clearances are for 429 4v ?

Taillight bulbs

I have just discovered the 1157dc 27/8 watt bulbs. Are these the original spec or the more common 21/5 watt ones ?!

I want to use these in the tailights to brighten the rear brake lights and they should be more effective.

Re: Sequential turn signals not working?

in the UK we have the twin brake and tail bulb 21w/5w which i have in the taillights but they are quite dull. I see 27w/8w are available in the US. Are these the ones it should have or are they a special bulb for something else ?

Re: jacking the car

The car sits so high that i dont really need to jack it !
Under the engine crossmember should be fine. Or on the sill rail just enough to reach the sump plug.
