Re: Front sway bar

I used a mustang bar ,fit great. I suppose since the end links are made to articulate different angles that slightly different lengths don't matter. & the mounts fit so. here's a pic with drooped susp,end links are straight & mounts are ok; https://i.postimg.cc/bvQfHtZX/SDC14529-3.jpg Super clean J...

Re: ‘64 Falcon Track Project

Joe, I clicked on a link at the end of Omar's Willow Springs vid of another one about your car I thought was pretty cool. I like it when he takes a peak inside your 65 Cyclone and comments on how it smells original. Mine has that smell, too. :lol: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t0N0c4iGHkg Jim Hah...

Re: ‘64 Falcon Track Project

One of my buddies Omar posted this video of the day at the track. Lots of cool cars! Nice to see it from the perspective of a spectator. Sometimes I get so caught up on running the car I forget to see the cool car show happening. https://youtu.be/jUwiXM08yTY?si=Bp4qG-Tt2R5Lv4w0 Joe That is very coo...

Re: ‘64 Falcon Track Project

Haha thanks Joe. Next event I’m gonna try to run with the higher class just to see where I stand. Im aware of the cars and my limitations so Im not trying to convince myself that I can run with the real race cars. Well I guess I could but there would have to be car upgrades and a class or two on hi...

Re: ‘64 Falcon Track Project

Before you start pulling it apart & changing things Joe I would test that gauge. check the motor with a known good gauge, like a hand held infrared one. watch the gauge when you first fire up the cold motor . I had a bad gauge once ( read too hot) that I finally noticed it got hot really fast, way ...

Re: ‘64 Falcon Track Project

I have been using a Robert Shaw high flow thermostat for years on a number of engines. They may cost more but they work. How many cheaper units plus hassle and labor can you install and not work properly? Jim https://flowkoolerwaterpumps.com/products/robertshaw-330-160-degree-thermostat Thanks Jim ...
