AIR SHOCKS! & Distributor Update
Well folks-the 65 Stang coupe runs like a"Spotted *** Ape!"I got the distributor in . I forgot about the 4 strokes-how stupid!
Cant drive yet-The rear wheels rub.I couldnt get backspacing unless I paid a fortune. I really like the American Eagle polished 55s.15X7. I'm getting air shocks for the time being.I'm not really concerned about a smooth ride.It's not a daily driver. Just for fun & going cool places-sometimes to work & back.Any Feed back on AIR SHOCKS! ------------------ |

Be careful with the air shocks if you ever drive it in cold weather. They tend to lose air when it gets cold lowering the butt-end of the car, then your tires would rub again. I guess you shouldn't really ever have to worry about this though, living in San Antonio.
====== '69 coupe 351W, Edelbrock Cam, Edelbrock Performer-RPM intake, Edelbrock 750 cfm 4-barrel, hedman headers, dual Thrush glasspacks (fairly quiet and low toned when idling/low rpms, but when you get on it, they sound like you are just running open exhaust straight out of the headers), estimated 350-375 HP, should run low-14's easy... |

Air shocks maybe a bad idea. When they leak, like mine did, you can't drive and then you get stuck with gay *** skinny wheels on the back. ( i know because this is how my car looks right now.)

Be careful with air shocks. If you put too much air in them then you could break suspension parts. Yesterday my lower shock mount ripped off and it took most of the suspension with it. Now it looks like the leaf spring is gonna slide out from under the car and I've gotta try and get a plate out of a junkyard. And the ride was rough as hell.
