In 1970 One of my college roommates had a Shelby 500 GT (probably a
68?) he was behind in the payments and it was going to be repoed.  I
should have bought it but wasn't impressed at the time.  He wound up
in a 58 Galaxy.

hi, do you know if they make a rubber type rear main seal  ( to replace the
rope type ) for the  ford 170  6cyl engine as used in the xp falcon (
australia ) ?
thanks,

Subject vehicle is a 1995 Mercury Tracer with the 1.9 liter engine. (CA.
spec.).  The car stumbles at speed and suffers from a severe power roll off
at mid to high RPM.  KOEO=111(good) KOER=111, cylinder balance test
=538,(odd I know) which I assume to mean cylinder ID failure.  ...

That 2010 Taurus looks good to me.
Ford needs to sell well over 100K of these things per year, and it looks
like a winner. Not crazy about the front grille treatment, but with a
limited edition, I'd never have to look at it.

Anyone have some good recommendations for  87-93 LED tail lights??
Thanks in advance.

seeking (and getting) from the U.S. Government is growing at a faster
rate than the market share of Chrysler LLC is shrinking.  According to
this story -- http://www.detnews.com/apps/pbcs ...

Does anyone know if there are machinists that can line bore the cam towers
on 4.6 heads? My heads are in perfect shape except for  the fact that the
cam tower bearing surfaces are scored. It would seem to me that it would be
a relatively simple operation to surface grind the ...

For the second straight month the sleepy greedy morons at GM and Ford,
who make no vehicles that Americans want to buy, have done less
terrible than the energetic innovative geniuses at Toyota and Honda.

A few years ago I rebuilt a '69 GT fastback.  I painted it Ford Mist Blue;
it looked silver in the dark, blue in the light.   Loved that car.  But sold
it to finance another project.   Now I own a 66 coupe that I'v had for about

I gave Tim -- a.k.a. Mustang Guy -- a call about a week ago and told
him I needed a new processor for my Cobra.  He had what I wanted in
stock, and had it in my hands in less than a week.  As always, his
care doesn't end with just locating the item and prompt shipment.  The
