Mark 41 forgot to tell you.... ( and you non diesel people may NOT believe me) but after he drains the rear end and tranny, he puts/re-uses that fluid in the fuel tank of the tow vehicle and burns it...

There are a few companies that make a hydraulic throw-out bearing for the T-5 (5 speed) if you are using that trans.
It would eliminate the need to fabricate a mount. ...

A chrome shift knob will win you more races than an MSD blaster coil .

F7PZ-12029-AA
The stock E-core coil used with the TFI module will do it all.
$71.09 list from Ford. But the junk yards should be full of them in the 83 --96 fords

The question was "What year Thunderbird has the longer a-frame than a mustang ?".

Racedad is correct . Retarded timing is what usually makes exhaust glow red. And if 84 Dave is correct about the timing marks being wrong...... taking timing lower will increase the concern.

That thing makes me not want to take my old crap back to the track this year until I can afford something like that. I'm racing against stuff like that with a stock floorboard and firewall car . I...

Something Headhunter said jogged my memory a bit.
