Re: Can't seem to find the problem

I'm gonna go a different direction on this one. Have you checked for a restriction in the fuel at the tank? Rust and garbage can build up at the outlet and still allow enough fuel though to run but...

Re: Ready to buy tires are Firestone the best?

Re: 66 mustang coupe project what is it worth?

Unfortunately it’s probably not worth much as a whole. Since it’s apart you would do better to part it out. You did not say if anything was rebuilt or at what stage the project was so I'm assuming...

Re: What are these worth?

I've never heard of a these.
