Well worth the money output. Imo

does it look the same after one year

Great video 👍 I checked out your site lots of great looking stuff . The one item that I know is in demand is the Ford to Edelbrock carb Kickdown Rod adapter/linkage I just bought a AVS 2 to replace my 600 Holly and i seen some pretty crazy inventions none i care to duplicate . Edelbrock sells a cable kickdown bracket not a kickdown Rod bracket does your linkage Rod kits come with the plastic bushing at the pedal end ? I'm looking to pick one up from your site .

Always did it by ear in the day

Thank you for sharing! Trying to decide between the Mike Maier Mod 1 kit or the Street or Track Watts links setup. Would you go for more of an adjustable package if you could do it over again?

Beautiful car! Enjoy.

Amazing work man keep it up

7 Excellent video my friend Andy, apparently it is a very simple aspect but in daily life it saves us a lot of problems. Greetings!!!

What distributor are you running?

A 150 shot of nitrous would be a nice addition

It's been 3 decades since I installed a clutch. 😂

Dude!! Those numbers are crazy good! Love the adjusting carb jets to spot any difference, great vid 🤘🏼

I want to do this but I can't even get my car to idle. I have to open the throttle to get it to stay running.

Good Info. Thanks for sharing!

I can do all that without a gauge. You just go by sound and feel.

I had a 347 in a 92 thunderbird. Never had it dynod but it definently rolled.

How much did it cost you for the conversion and transmission?

Nice video and explanation but I'm not sure how that metal shroud helps. It's so shallow that it effectively blocks air flow through roughly 25% of the radiator. The electric fan has a shroud on it to focus and pull air through it without blocking the rest of the radiator. Shrouds for mechanical fans are about 3 inches deep and don't block any areas so air can still flow through every part of the radiator. This basically places a wall 1/2" from the fins. The only area getting vented is directly in front of the fan which may be enough but why block the rest of the radiator? It also looks like the metal shroud blocks about 1" of the diameter of the electric fan itself (13:33) so you aren't getting the full effect of the fan. I'm going to get one of these but install it without the metal shroud, it's pretty but not practical.

its not the initial timing that makes the peak horsepower. its about the ignition timing curve. lets say you have initial of 10 and youre total timing is 32 you can also put initial on 18 and change the timing curve(race distributor) so you get tesame 32 total timing for peak horsepower but the 10 to 18 initial timing will give you a snappier throtllre from idle. i have a 331 stroker with 10.5/1 compression and a pertronix billet distributor where i can change the timing curve(how fast it gives total timing) i have 18 initial and 32 total in at 2500 rpm . my idle with vacuum advance (manifold ) is at 28 and cruise is at 42 so i can burn a leaner mixture of +-15afr. nice to see that youre engine gives you more power then you payed for 🙂

I hope you figured out that your interior light was on, with a dead battery you won’t have any horsepower. Enjoyed the video!

Great looking lift, what's its name & manufacturer ? Thanks Andy.

Dude! I’m so happy for you! That is tremendous. What a great motor motor🤘🤘🤘🤘 so epic to see your 66 coming together 🤙🤙

Man im here to tell you she sounds good and 380 Hp is plenty to put down nice video

awsome video ,, i own 68 mustang red deluxe conv with the 289 ,, my first pentronix coil went bad ,, i tested it , iam going to buy the same new flame thrower coil you bought ,, also i never thought about adding extra grounds to the motor thats awsome , i will be doing that too

Yup, needs a rebuild.

Andy you are the best! Your car is exquisite. What a journey you have taken. I appreciate the content as I am restoring my own '66 fastback.

awesome,im happy for you Andy.Great mustang!!! what part of Washington are you in ? Looks like the east side. im in western Oregon.

You can get more power with a Victor Jr or Parker intake

Andy keep up the videos as I love watching them, very informative and great

Baseline timing doesn’t have an impact on power. Total timing and when it comes in does, you want 34-36 degrees total and sooner. If you had 18 initial and factory settings in dist, then you had 18+23 = 41 total timing = too much. You tune this based on the springs and bushing in your distributor. Get an MSD ready to run, get the lightest springs (small grey) and the thickest bushing (black). This brings on total timing sooner and tightens the timing curve, so you can have more initial to help get your engine snappier sooner. And keep totals timing at that 34-36 where it’s happy.

Awesome results! Tuning helped you with a better AFR, less timing, and more power. Win-win-win. Nice torque curve too.

I noticed you had 2 new washer with the correct idler arm, where did they go??:"?

Great news in the HP. Question on the center stripe, did you get it painted on?

at first I thought that was kind of low, but then I realized it was hp at the wheel, and you're well over 400 at the crank. don't get into to much trouble haha.

put it on a hub dyno and you might find more H.P. the old style dynos have too much wheel slip and are not accurate anymore !

Was it me or did it sound like your engine was ticking when he was checking the timing

Andy it looks good and drives well

Beautiful sound! Great job on the build too, I’ve used a lot of your experiences while I’m working on my 66

Love the car thanks for showing the Dyno nice horsepower

What was your total timing at what rpm?

I have an AC car with Power Steering..do you think I can get away without taking the rad out?

I'd love to get our cars together........your finished car is very close to mine. My motor is rated at 300HP and with the 2.79 rear gear is MORE than fast enough for me. Thanks

Excellent!

Awesome Andy!! How big is your smile??

What if you have a brake booster in addition to the master cylinder and want to add a clutch and manual transmission?

380 after heat soak, that's great! Congrats Andy!

Hey Andy nice video.......what did your 'total' timing number end up being?

Nice, love your work. Ive got a 70 Torino and have factory single piston caliper discs on the front and later model Ford single piston calipers on the rear on a 9" Im hoping that a 15/16th Wilwood will work for this application. Do you know what you pedal ratio is? Mine is 6:1. Cheers 👍👍 Any updates? How are the brakes now, how do they feel, how much pedal travel have you got? Have they got plenty of power and hows the pedal effort? Thanks

Running 69.50 in primary jets with a 289, I have modified J code 4V 302 heads they have larger Ferrea stainless steel high flow valves with stock A code flat top pistons, my cam is a Mega 285 108LC with .512 lift or .551 net lift at the valve seat. I'm running a 78 as my secondary with a modified Holley 1850 600CFM main body has 3310-1 metering plates on it, and center pivot floats, and the 3310-1 750 base plate. I'm run 14 degrees initial, with 32 total with no vacuum can all in by 2500rpm. I've been thinking 28-30 degrees total might be better but has not been on the dyno yet. Using a blue printed Carter mechanical M60454, my factory pump could not keep up with higher rpms.

Impressive numbers Andy!
