AllTorque Posted December 18, 2018 Share Posted December 18, 2018 Header wrap is great for absorbing the oil leaks and then burning it off when you go up a hill for max fumes. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UTERUS Posted December 18, 2018 Share Posted December 18, 2018 But header wrap looks cool, reason enough for me anyway. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steelies Posted December 19, 2018 Share Posted December 19, 2018 so does race mesh right? /less volcanic engine bay temps would be good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kicker Posted December 19, 2018 Share Posted December 19, 2018 I like header wrap to keeps temps down and for hiding my ugly exhaust fab. It only needs to last until you put a Barra in it ready for dragweek/wagweek 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cletus Posted December 19, 2018 Share Posted December 19, 2018 I put a set of headers with similar blue paint (pacemaker?) on a previous car I had, taking no care to avoid scratches thinking the blue paint would burn off as soon as I started it Paint stayed on for as long as I owned it complete with rough guy scratches Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cletus Posted December 19, 2018 Share Posted December 19, 2018 Also pays to check the upper ball joint on slammed falcons, especially when the bumpstop is shortened. Often they run out of travel and the joint binds, some aftermarket ones are particularly bad. Shelby drop mod makes it worse and also gives more bump steer on the ones I've checked Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steelies Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 Chur. Yep checked ball joints during hydros install, Radius rod thing hits the frame before joints bind, by some miracle. Bumpstopped before all of that of course. @cletus do you have any experience with American 'bolt in' coil overs for early mustangcoon?

cletus Posted December 21, 2018 Share Posted December 21, 2018 not that I can remember, done a couple of RRS kits in falcons, otherwise most people seem to go for lowered springs/ good shocks and that's it 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steelies Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 Took this for a fang, not bad. Gave myself some scares/jobs with things fouling on others haha. Motor does however stutter under load/mostly-wide open throttle ie booting it, sometimes popping out the carb. Timing measures up legit by the manual, but maybe the mark is off? Any thoughts? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nominal Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 Manuals are bunk? Just fiddle around up/down and see if it helps? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fletch Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 Old balancer no longer true/slipped around a bit on the rubber? I have seen it a few times on various old cars. Need to take out front spark plug and stick a bolt in and find true tdc. /saw a cool video of some diesel bogans and they had a magnetic degree wheel that they just slapped on the balancer. Also have my own problems sneezing out the carb. Think its air leaks from worn throttle shaft or the flogged out hole 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tortron Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 Tune it by vacuum and rpm. There's normally some slop in the system etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
