Funny thing is I was thinking what the heck does football season have to do with a job?  Now it makes sense.

lol

Also, shag is sporting a 351 C, why haven't you replied to my thread on 351 Cleveland set ups??? lol.

I'm too busy getting the car road worthy?

I get lazy?

I take too many naps?

No excuse?

Pick any of the above.

I know how you feel. I have worked since I was 13. I bought my Mustang when I was 15 (not with Dad and Mom's money either). I played football in high school worked over 25 hours a week and still tried to make time for my Mustang. It isn't an easy task. Not to mention keeping the grades up. I didn't do everything right on my Mustang because of the lack of funds. My Dad helped me a ton too and that was a big help. Now trying to get it road worthy again. Good luck with school, football and the Mustang! You will have no regrets choosing football over the Mustang. You only have that chance for a short time in life. The Mustang will be there when that time is over.

Seeing those pics of Shags engine makes me feel good about going with the black block. That thing looks awesome under the hood. :craz

What is the little cap for on the radiator hose?

That's a Gano filter, a filter that can be cleaned on a regular basis.  It traps particulates that shed from the engine block and keeps from clogging the radiator.

In line filter for the coolant. Helps keep the crap out of the radiator. You can remove the cap and pull the filter screen for cleaning.

That's a cool gadget. Might be something else I may want to add later on.

It is a Tefba coolant filter. Not Gano.    Gano, is strictly an inline filter which you need to drain part of the coolant, then remove the inline filter.  Whereas Tefba is a simple inline with a cap.  Once cool you simply unscrew the cap, pull up and out the filter to remove any trapped particles.

This really applies only when:

You have just had a motor rebuilt and it will catch all the excessive particles that you normally find after a rebuild.....

or

You have just bought a use motor and know nothing about it. 


In my case, I connected one to Red's used motor and kept on collecting crap for 18+ months.  Now nothing.  With Shag, the builder must have done very well for I have found very little contaminants so far.

Once everything settles down, I will probably replace it with a stock upper hose.

Perhaps I should add one of these to each of my stangs when I get them going, considering the 67 has a rebuild engine, and the 73 has only ran once since I had it, and hasn't run until now from the 80s. So perhaps it'd be good for both of them, when I get them running?

I would say that is a good idea. I still get small pieces of crap out of my filter and it has been on there a year or so.
