The mustang died on me today while I was out in town, wiggled the terminal and it came back to life. Cleaned the terminals when I got home and it seems to be okay but the negative terminal is kinda loose so I may pick up some new ones soon
are those the headers?
No, those are junky hoses
would have been cool if those were the headers lol
Very old ceramic coated headers
for it being old it looks good
I suspect that someone cobbled this engine together in around the late 80s
yeah. that holley thing sure isnt factory lol
blue block
doesnt the color of the block tell people the size of it?
No
Up until around 1974 or so chevy painted their engines orange, then they switched to blue. In the 80s they switched again to black
i thought it was for the size because i have seen orange 427's. never seen a blue block till now
Someone painted this engine the GM corporate blue color
that is a nice blue
I bought braided stainless blue rubber plug wires to match it
it kinda reminds me of dodges b5 blue
im not as educated as i should be on the older stuff
It's a dying art
Hotrodding, manual machining, mechanical diesels, the old school stuff is all a dying art
yeah efi and the computer stuff has taken over everything
If anything ever happens that sets us back 60 years in technology, people like you and I will be kings
lol kings
takes over every car manufacture
Think about it
The dude who knows his way around the stock market? Useless, post-SHTF
The liberal that censored people on facebook for a living? Same thing
"Journalists?" They're done, too
yeah
But the guy who can keep your truck running?
people would be freaking out
That dude, you'll want as your buddy
you would make so much money from that though
Even in a barter economy, practical skillsets from back in the day will make you a very rich man
really one of the only things i dont care for when it comes to cars is the wiring
yeah it would
I can even go one step further
