  1. I called WEsales.com today and they no longer carry the clip. Anyone know anywhere else that's sells the Rocker clips? Thanks.
  2. Anyone know where you could find the front 1970 Front Fender Fiberoptic lenses for sale? Thanks.

  4. Thanks Bones....you helped me in another post of mine under the name Body Part ID as well....I had one last question for you from the other post, do you have a pic of the fender braces that attache to the fenders near the hood hinge to down near the body mounts? Thanks, David
  5. Help anyone? Trying to figure out whether to plug the stock vents from the gas tank or what is needed if you use them with the original ECS system? CA Car.... Thanks, David
  6. Rich, So if I went with the original ECS style tank, what does the return line go to and would I also need a Canister in the front of the car? FYI This was a CA car.... David
  7. Jared, Sounds like the best way to go, when you used the 70 non emissions tank did it also have vent lines that you had to plug? Thanks, David
  8. Hello and Happy Thanksgiving to all! I'm thinking of replacing my old fuel tank and wondered if there was any point of using the old ECS system? I'm thinking of just capping off the extra vent lines and return line and using a fuel cap with a vent....other than not being original would this be OK to do or would I be running into a gas tank/vent issue...? As always thanks for the help! David
  9. Yeah mine has the seperator and 1/4" return line as well.... I changed the cap and am trying to put some miles on it to see if it happens again.... Thanks for all the assitance! D
  10. Rod, Thanks for the detailed explanation, all very good information. And yeah, I have noticed that the tank felt pressurized a couple of times, but it happened so infrequently that I never really thought much of it...should have done something about it lookin back..... Hey, one last question would uncapping some of lines going from the tank to the seperator or the line from the seperator to the canister help vent the fuel system? Good/bad idea? Or maybe I would start leaking fuel...? Thanks again for all help guys! David
  11. Thanks for the tips and advice guys... To answer some of your questions.... I'm using an 870 Holley Street Avenger Carb....filters look good and Holley claims this Carb has power valves that will not blow out....I'm thinking it's not a carb issue, because I have tried 3 different carbs now and the problem is still there...the lack of power does not happen often, but when it does, it really leaves me wondering what the heck is wrong.... The Gas Tank Cap is not vented, however it does not fit tight either. I'll probably replace it to see if that helps.... Any other ideas? Thanks! David
  12. Hello FGMC! I hope everyone is enjoying there Sunday evening.... So, need a little help...have a 70 SS MC that I'm having some issues with.....the car normally runs pretty good, however there have been a handful of times that the cars feels like there is temporaray loss of power while driving....almost feels like you are running out of gas or have a loose wire, then all of sudden the power comes back....we've ruled out loose wires, carb, timing and now we're brainstorming......one friend suggested vapor lock, however I don't have a lot of experience with VL...any ideas on how to confirm if this is the problem? And last, when the gas tank was cleaned and leak-checked during the rebuild of the car a couple of gas return lines were plugged....I was told we did not need these lines since the car was no longer stock and would no longer be required to meet CA smog emissoin requirements....I think one of the lines may have gone to the charcoal canister, but I'm not certain....so, long story short, could the lack of a good gas tank vent be the source of vapor lock or loss of power? Let me knwo what you guys think....and many thanks as always!!! David
  13. Hello Everyone, Capri thanks for the e-mail, while I'm sorry you went through the same headaches I'm going through, it's good to know I'm not going crazy, I was starting to wonder... ;0) To summarize for the rest of the members, Capri went back to the original Springs and added a Shim/Spacer....which again makes me think Moog has a problem with the Front Springs for the 70 & 71 SS 454 MC.... Other than going back to the original Springs (which I no longer have) or getting the QA1 Coil Over Springs/Shocks which are considerably more $, I'm not sure what to do....frustrating... David
  14. Thanks Bones, just sent Capri SS an email... David
  15. Bones, I already tried 3/4" spacers/shims and still had a problem...so I took the Springs out and now I'm debating on putting the 71 SS 454 Moog Springs P/N 5536 in....or ditch Moog and try another Spring manufacturer....thought I would ask you guys first since I'm sure other members have run into similar problems...
