Actually, lets discuss alignment tools.

My current stable consists of a 65 and 66 mustang. Both have after market, non steel wheels.
Completing the garage ensemble is a 67 cougar, currently sporting steel wheels.

So, knowing I have three knock-kneed vehicles needing alignment, I'm at the point of investing in alignment tools with the exception of turn plates, I'll make my own.

Looking for inputs from anyone owning these tools. Whatcha got, do you like them, short comings, etc, etc....si I can make a wise investment.

Right now, I don't need advice on how to do an alignment, I'll ask for that later...

Thanks in advance....

Thanks guys!
So it sounds like I am not nuts for wanting to touch up the emblems that are on the car then vs removing them and replacing them...

Prolly  new ones won't hold up any better than 'touched-up' ones!  Stuff is junk now-a-days!!

With 15" wheels you can get by with 11.5" rotors.

I am resurrecting this thread to see if anyone has definitively answered this question yet?   A 3.73 LS Explorer rear end  has popped up for sale locally and I am considering picking it up and using it on the next project.

Edit-

And a related question....


Can anyone confirm what size wheels you can use with either the Explorer factory discs or the 05-14 rear discs? 

I am thinking about keeping this project on 15"' wheels- either steelies with dog dish hub caps or Magnum 500s.

Late Model Restoration has a calculator.
I ended up changing both gears.

Worth noting that the number on it predates the mustang.  C3 pegs it as a part originally made in '63.

I would advise just getting 157 tooth flywheel with 28oz. imbalance drilled for a 10.5" clutch.  This is the easiest/simplest route to your T5 swap.  This is the one I run on my 331:

California emissions 94-97 trucks (4.9, 5.0, 5.8, and 7.5) had MAF.

Federal emissions trucks were speed density.

Yes, and you can add MAF to any of the trucks fairly easily, but the fact remains the intakes were designed for a speed/density application.  Even 1st gen Lightnings were speed/density. 
 

Try rockauto.
For grins, I looked up a flywheel for a 74 maverick
with a 302. A 157 tooth flywheel, 10" clutch disk, with the emblance you need cost about 91 chickens....

I pulled the t10 out of my 64 falcon, the engine is a 74 302W. so I pulled the fly wheel counted the teeth 160. I have never heard of that number of teeth on any ford standard fly wheel. yes it is a ford part, c3oe-6308b  with a little tag to the side that reads 5d5. I counted the teeth 4 times may be 5 times. still don't believe it.
so now I will need to replace the fly wheel with 157 tooth 28 oz balance. where would you try to acquire one? I am going to research this part number anyone else feel free to chime in.
