Re: seats re-upholstery

yeah i know what you mean about the trim. i wasn't gonna have any wood in mine until i found that steering wheel and after i decided to get that i built the console. i am also going to keep going with the wood by making wood arm rests/ door handles and making a wood floor in the bed.

Re: seats re-upholstery

it set me back a pretty penny but i kinda wanted to keep an old school look and the bucket seats just weren't what i was looking for in this truck. you sure did pull it off in your truck tho. you kept an old school look with the buckets and it really turned out great.

Re: Clutch set up question

this is the fitting and you can't see because the o-ring is covering it but there is a lip on the fitting the arrow in the pic is pointing at it. the lip will need to be filed down slightly to fit in the slave and master because i think the fitting was meant for a jeep and its the only one i could f...

Blown head gasket. What else to replace while in there?

I know this isn't a v8 question, but I recently got an 04 ranger with a 2.3 5spd. I've had it for a few months and the head gasket went out. i was wondering if there are any other parts i should replace while everything is apart. any advice is much appreciated.

Re: coolant fitting

i have a edlebrock performer 289 intake manifold and i had a homemade 90 before which was obviously too bulky too fit so i tried a straight fitting from mr gasket and that barely cleared. my other concern was when i time the motor im worried about having enough room to move the distributor because i...
