No one is better that George Thompson owner "Carb. Flow Engineering"

His 73 Ford 351 Mustang H/SA held the National Record and was
Insanely Fast AND built entire in house front to back by George!

He is in Lake Havasu Arizona......(661) 857 -0109

Got the Center Section out and found out it was an 8 inch thought all Torinos came with 9 inches so I have to go down to Kentucky to get a housing and going to get an Nodular center section from Speedway Motors... It was an unsuspected expense....

Per dads orders I had to change U-Joints in the driveshaft after arguing for a little bit I agreed and got a set of Spicers from Fort Wayne Clutch and Driveline and they really werent as hard to change out as I thought they would be.... The retainers were soo rusted and old they crumbled as I yanked em out.
