Yeah, you're right, nothing is easy. I remembered this from helping my brother as he is a Ford fanatic. A lot of the 8 and 9 inch ford rear ends are shared across the car and truck platforms so check fittings for the Ford Bronco as well.

Hey barbee6043, I'm thinking the Ford F-150 pickup uses the same vent tube fitting. See here for details. Cheers! https://www.lmctruck.com/1973-79-ford/drivetrain/fc-1973-79-rear-axle-breather-vent EDIT : Just re-read your post and I now see what you are trying to do. I would see if...

Easy peasy! No issues what so ever.

Here's what I would do in this situation. Start the car and wait until it dies. 1. Pull an ignition wire off a spark plug and have someone turn the engine over while holding the boot close to a metal surface on the engine. If the ignition is working , you should see a spark at the boot...

Just in case you were wondering how the system sounds, here's my 68 Barracuda the first day I took it out of the garage after completing the re-assembly of the car.

Here's a great article from Holly on headers. https://www.holley.com/blog/post/long_tube_vs_short_tube_headers_which_is_right_for_you_/#:~:text=The%20rule%20of%20thumb%20is,produce%20better%20top%2Dend%20horsepower.

Wow! Its amazing what a vast improvement you made with a sawzall and a 4 lb sledge!

Well... I chose shorties for a different reason. Ground clearance with a 4-speed. The driver side pipes with the long tubes just hung too low for me and didn't give me the look I wanted. No argument that there is a performance trade-off by not using long tubes but I don't think its a lot. My car...

Here's one site that has reproductions. No heat riser that I can see though. 1968-71 340 Exhaust Manifolds Duster Dart Plymouth Cuda TA AAR Challenger GTS 70 – Mopar Hoods Here's the option I chose. Worked out great for me. https://www.ttiexhaust.com/TTi34025.htm#pricing

Agreed Steve! Here's a pic of mine mounted directly to the floor with a gasket between it and the lower firewall/ footwell .

Agreed! This has all the symptoms of bad connections, especially grounds.

If I remember correctly, the gas pedal assembly has a mounting pad that bolts directly to the floor with a gasket between the bracket and the floor. Carpet goes over the bracket.

Here's a very correct reproduction. 2889951 - 1967-76 Dart, Barracuda, Valiant, Duster; Windshield Wiper Arms; Anco Style; Pair

8.75 rear axle?

Shot in the dark... Bad, wrong or incorrectly installed head gasket blocking water passages?

Problem caused by incorrect timing maybe?? Where do you have it set?

Same. Heres a video showing location and replacement.

...and then, prove it by showcasing cars like the "Green Brick" , the 72 Road Runner, the Savoy and others.

Thanks for posting this Ron_M . This is a perfect example of information transfer as I would have never see this interview if it wasn't for this site. I am not on Social (Brainwashing) media including Facebook ( individual data manipulation for profit site) and prefer this type of...

Totally agree! I have pretty much every issue.

Ya Kern dog, gotta agree. Funny thing. This whole site is dedicated to thousands of people restoring, repairing and customizing cars that are mostly over 50 years old . And there are thousands of clubs for different makes of cars doing the same thing we are. Internet/ social media can't...

Good luck with it bud.. No way should you have to beat on them like that to fit. Me, I'd make one last call to Dougs, then , if no recourse, I'd take pics and post them on here and send them back to Dougs with pics showing them how bad they fit on this site. Then see how Dougs reacts...

Man you are having a tough time with this one! I think if the headers were a problem, you may have to dimple them a little but, no way should you have to mangle them to fit. I f you do, they are junk. I don't know if I've asked this before but are you sure you have the correct headers for your...

Damm! this is a tough one! Ok , lets see what may be able to be moved to gain clearance 1. The steering column bolts going into the firewall to allow movement of the column 2. The bolts holding the power steering box 3. The motor mount brackets 4. transmission mount 5 transmission cross...

Yeah , I think you are right. Towards pass side would be ideal. No chance you have another set of engine mounts is there? Even if you could borrow a set to try. Something strange up here for sure.

Looking at this pic, The engine has to go down or back to clear the header tube.

This is just a shot in the dark but are the motor mount brackets in the right place on the engine block?

You know Bob, this could be a combination of all these adjustments needing to be done. As I'm sure you know, they all add up, an 1/8th here, a 1/16th there etc ...

Great attitude! I am following along and it definitely seems the engine is not aligned properly in the engine bay. I don't think its the headers so I wouldn't bend them up yet. Here's something else to check I was thinking that maybe the transmission mount is bad or the crossmember is dropped...
