So, I have done a lot of work to my S197 essentially from bumper to bumper, but I'm here to tell

you today that if you're on the fence about swapping out your '05 to '09 GT's factory

two-piece driveshaft, please do it.

The Ford Performance one-piece aluminum shaft is a huge upgrade in a few ways.

First thing's first, it will reduce all that driveline vibration which the S197 is known

for.

It will dramatically reduce the rotational weight of the factory shaft which kills power

to the wheels, and it will take out all that slop and clunk in your drivetrain, especially

if you drive a manual like me.

Now, install is a bit of a squeeze and we wanna make sure this is done right because

it is a main driveline component, so I'm gonna go ahead and give this a strong two out of

three wrenches on my patented difficulty meter, and if you take your time, it should take

you about three hours.

Now first thing's first, the Ford Performance shaft will definitely make a big difference

in acceleration and pedal feel, as some customers have stated and as I just mentioned, and that's

because this driveshaft actually weighs about half as much as the factory one.

With the carrier bearing, the bolts, the flange, the spacers, you're looking at a boat anchor

weight of about 46 pounds.

Now, if you install the Ford shaft and you will find that that knocks it down to 23 pounds.

Keep in mind that rotation amplifies weight.

So, you're actually reducing even more weight while you're rolling around.

Now, you're also removing that center joint which is another torque damper, so you are

getting more power transferred to your wheels.

Now, the second thing I like about the Ford shaft is how tight and composed it is.

Ford says that they use this two-piece setup with that carrier bearing and all sorts of

vibration reducing components.

But once these things wear in, they tend to get loose.

And with a looseness comes that easy pinion angle change and a change in pinion angle

causes all sorts of vibrations when you're coasting and accelerating.

Now, if you feel vibration and humming at highway speeds, it is most likely your factory

shaft.

Again, as customer reviews have said, this drive shaft really does help to fix all of

that slop and vibration.

Now, the last two reasons that I really like the Ford shaft are because of who it comes

from and the price.

Ford Racing is pretty much the gold standard.

If you want something that works well and is guaranteed to work with the rest of your

car's components and honestly, a little over $600 is pretty tough to beat.

At this price, the Ford shaft is actually one of the most affordable options available,

and you are still getting a custom balanced shaft as you can see from the weights here,

and you're also getting some very nice and much more capable Dana Spicer joints on either

end.

All right, now that I've talked your ear off, let's get into the install.

Like I said, my car's driveshaft joints are pretty much bust.

I'm actually getting a lot of nasty sounds every time I change gears and put any torque

through my driveline.

So, I'm gonna toss out that crappy two-piece and replace it with this nice Ford shaft.

Again, this is a two out of three wrenches but you can definitely tackle this at home

because in the end it is just a couple of bolts and nuts.

So, let's go ahead, get into the garage and get started.

To install your Ford Performance driveshaft, you will need the following tools: a torque

wrench, a three-eighths drive ratchet, a 13 millimeter wrench, a 10 millimeter socket,

a 12 millimeter 12 point socket, a 12 millimeter 12 point deep socket, a 13 millimeter socket,

an extended Allen head socket, a long extension, a short extension, a swivel, locking compound,

and optional but certainly helpful, some lubricating oil or penetrating oil and an air gun.

So, we've got my car in the garage, we're gonna go ahead and throw it up on the lift.

Before you get started, make sure your vehicle is in neutral and your parking brake is off

that way you can rotate your factory driveshaft and get to all the bolts that you need to

get to with your tools.

All right, we're gonna start up here at the transmission flange.

These are 12 point 12 millimeter bolts so you're gonna wanna use a 12 point socket.

All right, so we pulled our transmission flange bolts out.

You're gonna reuse those, so make sure you soak them in some PB Blaster or a little bit

of a lubricant, take any grime off of them.

Now, we're gonna tackle our pinion flange on the differential, and these are 10 millimeter

head bolts.

All right, the pinion flange on our differential is also unbolted now.

The last step is unbolting the carrier bearing up here, that's gonna be 2 13 millimeter head

bolts.

All right, we're gonna pull the last bolt holding the carrier bearing and thus the driveshaft

to the vehicle.

Take your time pulling this out, it's the last piece of hardware that's actually holding

the driveshaft to the vehicle.

Once you pull it out, let the driveshaft rest on your exhaust.

All right.

So, with your driveshaft free, you can go ahead and maneuver out from underneath the

vehicle.

All right, before we install our new driveshaft, we're gonna clean up the pinion flange and

we're gonna clean up our transmission flange with a little bit of PB Blaster, make sure

we have a nice, clean surface to mate our new driveshaft to.

While you have the driveshaft out of the vehicle, this is also a good opportunity to check inside

of the pinion flange, make sure you don't have any leaking gear oil.

And you can also check your backlash, make sure you don't have any excessive play.

All right, now that both of our flanges are cleaned up, we're gonna go ahead and install

our new driveshaft.

You're gonna put the new one in the same way the old one came out.

You're just gonna kind of put it up through the exhaust pipes, let it rest there while

you bolt up the pinion flange first.

All right, so with the driveshaft seated, you're gonna grab the two larger bolts provided

in the kit and you're gonna put them inside of the pinion flange end of the driveshaft

before you seat it into the differential itself.

Once you have everything lined up, you're gonna go ahead and hand tighten these two

bolts.

Now that our new driveshaft is hand tightened to the pinion flange in the rear, we're gonna

go ahead and secure it to the transmission flange up front.

For this, you're gonna reuse those 12-point bolts you pulled out earlier.

Before you reinstall those, make sure you apply some threadlocker to the threads.

Now that your transmission flange is hand tightened and flush, we're gonna tighten these

down, ensuring that the pinion side of our driveshaft is flush with the differential.

For that you're gonna need a 13 millimeter wrench.

Now once you have these tight enough, the whole driveshaft should turn.

That lets you know you're in a good place.

Then we can go ahead and install the other four bolts in the kit.

With our driveshaft flush against our pinion flange, we're gonna go ahead and hand tighten

the other four Allen head bolts provided in the kit.

All right.

Once those are hand tightened, we're gonna grab our Allen key.

We're gonna go ahead and drive them home before we use our torque wrench.

With our driveshaft seated clearly and the pinion flange in the rear and everything hand

tightened, we're gonna go ahead and torque everything down to spec.

Up front on the transmission flange, you're gonna wanna tighten these 4 bolts down with

76-foot pounds in a star pattern.

And to make this easier on ourselves, we're gonna go ahead and use a small extension.

That way we can ensure we're clearing everything in here and we get a nice seat with our socket.

To make this even easier on yourself, you wanna put your car in gear.

That way the transmission locks up the drivetrain so your driveshaft isn't turning on you while

you're trying to tighten all this stuff down.

All right, since our car is in gear, we weren't able to reach all of the bolts up front on

the transmission flange.

So, what we're gonna do, we're gonna tackle the ones in the rear that we can reach, and

those are gonna be tightened down to 41-pound feet.

Once we have those tackled, we're gonna put our car in neutral, rotate the driveshaft

so we can finish up the front and the rear.

All right, we're gonna go ahead and mark the ones that we've already tightened down with

a marker.

That way once we rotate our driveshaft, we'll know which ones are left over.

All right, so we unlocked our drivetrain, we rotated our driveshaft and we're gonna

go ahead and torque down this last unmarked bolt in the rear, same deal with the front.

All right, so with the last of those bolts tightened up on your pinion flange and your

transmission flange, that should actually wrap up the install.

That also wraps up my review of Ford's one-piece aluminum driveshaft, fitting your '05 to '09

GT.

I'm Travis.

Thanks for watching.

2015-2018 Mustang GT & GT350 Ford Performance 87MM GT350 Throttle Body Review - Duration: 5:23.

The Ford Performance GT350 Throttle Body will appeal to all 2015 and newer GT and GT350

owners out there for a couple of different reasons.

Now for those 350 and 350R owners out there, this is gonna be an affordable factory replacement

for your 5.2-liter engine and that Voodoo intake manifold.

Now, on the other hand, this is gonna be a subtle upgrade for all 5-liter Coyote owners

out there, who are looking to step up from that factory 80-millimeter option and go with

a slightly larger 87-millimeter throttle body.

Now keep in mind, if you did wanna use this on your 5-liter Coyote, there will be some

supporting mods necessary such as an adapter, four all stock GT intake manifolds, in addition

to a calibration or custom tune.

Your price point for the genuine Ford product is gonna be right around $150 bucks, making

this extremely affordable in the aftermarket throttle body category, while the install

will get a rather simple one out of three wrenches on the difficulty meter.

And we will have a little bit more detail on that later in the video.

So, right off the bat, I would say a majority of people interested in this product or watching

this video will be those 5-liter GT owners out there looking to make a simple upgrade,

as opposed to a Shelby owner looking to replace a faulty throttle body.

So, with that in mind, I will be gearing most of this video on those GT owners from here

on out.

However, if you do have a 350 or a 350R and you need a factory replacement for whatever

reason that isn't covered by your warranty, then yes, you can pick up this option and

call it a day.

But for now, let's switch our focus over to the standard '15 and newer GT owners out there.

And again, the big appeal here guys is gonna be upgrading that standard 80-millimeter opening

to a larger 87-millimeter opening, and then, in turn, increasing performance and throttle

body along the way, using a part found on that high revving Shelby GT350.

Now, this part can also be found in the Ford Performance Power Pack number two and number

three for the GT in conjunction with other parts like the Shelby Cold Air, the Voodoo

intake manifold, and those Ford Performance calibrations.

And honestly guys, this thing has been proven to make some power when used with the necessary

calibration along with those supporting modifications.

But with all that said, let's talk about how you can go about bolting this thing up to

your ride because you do have some options here.

Now first and foremost, if you wanted to throw this thing on your stock Coyote intake manifold,

you're gonna need to purchase that additional adapter kit from the drop-down tab on the

product page, which will allow you to put this thing on your stock 5-liter manifold.

Now, this thing will also include an adapter for your purge valve as well.

So again, if you wanna do that on your Coyote intake manifold, it is a must as the mounting

points are slightly different.

Now, on the other hand, if you've already purchased a GT350 intake manifold, then there's

no need to purchase that additional adapter kit, as the throttle body here and that Voodoo

intake manifold go together like peanut butter and jelly.

However, no matter what option you decide to go with, a tune will be a necessity as

the car is going to run and drive poorly without it.

Now, no matter what manifold you pair this thing up to, owners can look forward to a

small bump in power, nothing too crazy here guys, in a addition to a little bit better

throttle response as well.

And listen, at the end of the day, $150 bucks for a larger aftermarket throttle body is

really hard to beat, especially if you've been shopping around the category a little

bit more and you'll notice that, listen, you can't touch an aftermarket throttle body or

$150 bucks, let alone $200 bucks or $300 bucks.

And the fact that it's a Ford OE part really helps seal the deal for a lot of owners out

there.

But let's talk about the install here briefly, guys.

And honestly, it's going to depend on what manifold you're using, along with the throttle

body.

But either way listen, a throttle body install is very straightforward.

So one out of three wrenches on the difficulty meter and maybe an hour or two from start

to finish, depending on whether you have to mess with that adapter kit or not.

Now if you already have a Voodoo intake manifold, then the throttle body will simply bolt right

up without modification.

If you are going to use an adapter kit on a GT manifold, then you'll obviously need

to install that with the manifold first, and then install the throttle body to the adapter

using the hardware included with the kit.

Now, most of this will involve the use of some rather basic hand tools like a socket

set and a hex set if you do have to install that adapter plate.

But, of course, you'll also have to remove that intake from the throttle body before

getting started with the install.

You don't have to totally uninstall the cold air intake or your factory intake, however,

just disconnect it from the throttle body before making the swap.

Now again, doing a throttle body in and of itself is extremely simple.

There's four bolts along with unplugging a connector here so definitely not brain surgery

by any stretch of the imagination.

Take your time, follow the directions if you do have to use the adapter kit, and you should

be wrapped up in no time.

So if you're looking to upgrade your factory 80-millimeter throttle body on your GT with

an affordable part straight off the 350 and 350R, you'll wanna check out the Ford Performance

87-millimeter option right here at americanmuscle.com.

Ford Everest Caught Roaming Near Ford HQ as Bronco Development Ramps Up - Duration: 3:10.

These

exclusive photographs acquired by The Drive show what appears to be a 2018 Ford Everest

driving near the automaker's testing and engineering facilities in Dearborn, Michigan.

Despite its similarities with the Australian SUV, this rugged 'ute boasts key design differences

that make us wonder about its ties to the upcoming Ford Bronco.

Dressed in a bright hue referred to as True Red on the Ford Australia website, the Everest's

color-matched bumpers and chromed mirror caps lead us to believe this particular example

is a range-topping Titanium trim.

That being said, we couldn't find any photographic evidence that Ford has previously used this

specific front grille and wheel design on any other 2017 or 2018 Everest models.

The three bars running across the grille and the Blue Oval are considerably different than

the current design, and the large (possibly 20-inch) wheels aren't listed on any Ford

parts catalogs.

Automakers oftentimes use current-production vehicles to test the parts and components

of vehicles that have yet to be released, but we can assume that "grille and wheel testing"

isn't necessarily what we're witnessing here.

We're more concerned with what's under the hood of the three-row SUV.

We reached out to Ford to inquire about the provenance of the Everest and its relation

to the upcoming Bronco, but its answer was less than revealing.

"Ford is a global automotive company and Dearborn is one of our Global Product Development centers,

where we occasionally review and test global products," Mike Levine, Ford North America

Product Communications Manager, told The Drive.When Ford Motor Company announced that the Bronco

and Ranger nameplates were coming back to the United States at the 2017 North American

International Auto Show, legions of lifelong fanatics erupted with joy and pledged to consider

either vehicle when they landed on dealer lots.

Fast-forward nearly 16 months, and everything surrounding the Bronco has been hush-hush,

with Ford only revealing that it will share similar construction with the Everest and

that it'll be built at the Michigan Assembly Plant along with the new Ranger.

With a launch planned for late 2019 as a 2020 model, common sense would dictate that sooner

rather than later we will begin seeing Bronco prototypes testing on the world's most extreme

climates and terrains.

It's just a matter of time.

FAMOUS GRAVE TOUR - Woodlawn (Glenn Ford, Barbara Billingsley, etc.) - Duration: 25:20.

Welcome to Hollywood Graveyard, where we set out to remember and celebrate the

lives of those who lived to entertain u,s by visiting their final resting places.

Today we head out to Santa Monica to explore Woodlawn Cemetery, where we'll

find such stars as Glenn Ford, Barbara Billingsley, and Harvey Korman, and many more.

Join us, won't you?

Woodland Cemetery is owned and operated by the city of

Santa Monica, and has served the community for over a century. It's a

relatively small Cemetery located just about a mile from beautiful Santa Monica

beach and pier. The centerpiece of the cemetery is the historic mausoleum.

Built in 1922 it was one of the first public mausoleums in Southern California.

Its architecture was inspired by early Spanish California. The corridors feature

marble imported from Italy, and are decorated with statues, stained-glass

windows, and paintings by renowned muralist Hugo Ballin, who is entombed herein.

Much of the mausoleum is kept quite dimly lit, which makes for pretty

dramatic lighting and a somewhat eerie ambiance, if that's your thing.

But the low lighting also serves to allow the stained-glass windows to shine in all

their colorful glory.

The mausoleum has three floors,

mostly wall crypts but also a number of columbaria with glass front niches.

On the grounds are two sections dedicated to fraternal orders. Across from the

mausoleum is the Elks section. The Benevolent and Protective Order of the

Elks was founded in the 1860s in New York, with lodges now across the country.

It's an organization that strives to serve people and communities through

benevolent programs. A number of Hollywood stars were or are Elks,

including Clint Eastwood and Jack Benny.

Behind the mausoleum is another section

dedicated to a Fraternal Order: Freemasonry. Stars like Gene Autry and

Harry Houdini were Masons. The graves in this section are arranged in such a way

that when viewed from high above they form the Masonic symbol.

There are also a number of war memorials across the grounds.

There's one here to the Civil War.

And next to the mausoleum is this Commemorative Wall, honoring the local

fallen from all the wars from World War One, World War Two,

Korea,

Vietnam,

the Gulf War,

and Iraq.

Woodlawn has a number of community

events and programs throughout the year, for Memorial Day, Dia de los Muertos, and

even Living History Tours.

Speaking of tours, let's get on with ours.

Our first stop is just in from the entrance on the right, in section 1.

A few rows from the road is Henry Cuesta. If you're a fan of Lawrence Welk

you'll recognize Cuesta as the oft-featured clarinet player on Welk's

show, a role he played for a decade.

[music]

He was a popular performer with other

artists like Benny Goodman and Mel Torme.

Continuing up Delaware Avenue we stop

just before Eternal Meadow, at section 17 on the left. About three-quarters of the

way in as a small tree in bench in front of which we find actress Cathy Downs.

She is perhaps best remembered for playing the title role in the 1946 film

My Darling Clementine, alongside Henry Fonda and Victor Mature.

She became quite popular in the late 40s, but her career slowed in the 50s,

landing roles in smaller B and sci-fi films, like The Amazing Colossal Man.

She was just 50 when she died of cancer.

Let's cross to the next section East, section 18.

Two rows in, further north, is the grave of Bud Duncan. The diminutive silent film

star, who stood at just 4'11, performed in hundreds of silent comedies,

often alongside Lloyd Hamilton.

Their one readers became known as "Ham and Bud Comedies."

Back toward the road, a few rows up, near

the middle of this lawn is the grave of Audra Lindley.

Her cremains are interred here with her father, Bert, though there is no marker for her.

Audra was an actress, best remembered as Mrs. Roper

on the 70s sitcom, Three's Company, and it's spin-off, The Ropers.

The role earned her a Golden Globe nomination.

"All I wanted was for Stanley to take me out someplace romantic,

you know, maybe a few cocktails, a candlelight dinner, dancing,

and then maybe afterwards...

well that isn't too much to ask on your 25th anniversary, is it?"

"Not at all."

"I would have settled for the afterwards."

She also had roles in shows like Friends and Cybil.

Straight toward the fence, near a small tree and bench, is the grave of Edward Brophy.

He was a character actor, often playing dumb cops or mobsters, in films like,

The Whole Town's Talking,

and in the Falcon series of the 40s.

He also provided the voice of Timothy Q Mouse in Disney's Dumbo.

Southeast along this same row we find a star of another kind - a woman who

literally flew among the stars. Astronaut Sally Ride was the first American woman

in space, in 1983, becoming a true role model for

women and girls the world over. She later taught physics at UCSD,

inspiring a whole new generation to embrace the study of science and reach

for the stars.

Turning right onto Palm Avenue we stop right near the corner.

Next to the road are the Doty twins, Winston and Weston. They were child

actors in the 20s, seem in a Little Rascals short, and the 1924 version of

Peter Pan. The two died tragically at the age of 20

in the 1934 New Year's Flood. Massive rainfalls caused

20-foot walls of water to rush into LA, destroying hundreds of homes and

claiming dozens of lives, including the Dotys.

Let's cross the street to Section 3M.

Straight in from the curve in the road we find the grave of romantic

leading man Paul Henreid. He was an actor, perhaps best remembered for portraying

Victor Laszlo in the 1942 classic Casablanca. He can also be seen alongside

Bette Davis in Now, Voyager.

"Shall we just have a cigarette on it?"

"Yes."

Though not a communist, he was one of the Hollywood stars who protested the

excesses of the House Un-American Activities Committee in Washington.

This got him semi-blacklisted. He then reinvented himself and his career as a

successful director.

A few more rows in we find actor Doug McClure. He is best

remembered for playing Trampas in the long-running western series, The Virginian,

in over 200 episodes. He often found himself in western and cowboy

roles, like in Barbary Coast, and Out of This World.

Further along Myrtle Avenue we reach section 11 the lawn north of the mausoleum.

A few spaces in from the road is the grave of Edwina Booth, whose real name was Constance.

She was a rising star in the very early days of Hollywood talkies, in the late 20s.

In 1931 she landed the lead role as The White Goddess in Trader Horn.

The film shot on location in Africa, and due to the fairly unregulated and

inexperienced practices of the era, filming became quite nightmarish for Edwina.

She contracted malaria and suffered sunstroke during the months

long shoot. The film was a success, but Edwina returned home much worse for the

wear, and required years to fully recover. Some rumors even floated about that she

had died. In a highly publicized lawsuit she sued MGM for reckless endangerment.

The suit was settled out of court for $35,000, but her career never recovered

from the MGM debacle, and after a few low-budget roles in 1932 she never

worked in film again.

Let's head now into the mausoleum.

Immediately right of the entrance is the Library of Living Memories.

Here we find the niche of Janos Prohaska.

If there was a monster, alien, bear, or gorilla on film or television in

the 60s and 70s, odds are Janos Prohaska was the man in

the costume. He was an actor and animal imitator who specialized in these

costumed characters, playing bears and gorillas in shows like

like The Andy Williams Show and Gilligan's Island.

He played Clyde the Chimp on Bikini Beach,

as well as a number of alien creatures on Star Trek.

He died in a plane crash at the age of 54 while working on Primal Man.

At the end of the main corridor is the Sanctuary of Devotion. Above eye-level we

find the niche of William Tuttle. He was one of Hollywood's great makeup artists,

providing makeup and prosthetic effects for nearly 400 productions over his career.

His films include Logan's Run, Singin' in the Rain, Forbidden Planet, and

Young Frankenstein. He also made his mark on television creating some of the

Twilight Zone's most iconic creatures.

Just around the corner is the crypt of Hal Smith,

perhaps best known for playing the hilarious town drunk,

Otis, on The Andy Griffith Show in the 60s. He had a large number of roles as a

voice actor as well perhaps, most notably as Owl in the Winnie the Pooh films. back

Back the way we came we take the small set of stairs then immediately right to find

wall W on the left. Low on the wall is the niche of actor William Haines.

He was a leading man and top box-office star in the late 20s and early 30s,

with hits like Show People, alongside Marion Davies, and Way Out West.

Haines is considered Hollywood's first openly gay star, unheard of in an era when it was still

very much taboo. He was given an ultimatum by MGM boss Louie B Meyer:

to end his relationship with partner Jimmie Shields and enter a lavender

marriage with a woman, or his acting career was finished. Haines chose love

over Hollywood, and his contract was terminated. But his relationship with

Shields would go on to last nearly 50 years, and now beyond as they rest here

side by side.

Close friend Joan Crawford called them

the happiest married couple in Hollywood.

At the next corridor down we turn left

to wall P on the right. Most of the way down at eye level is the crypt of actor

George Bancroft. He found his greatest successes in the late 20s in films like

The Docks of New York, and Thunderbolt, which earned him an Oscar nomination

in 1929. In the 30s he found himself slipping into supporting roles like in

Stagecoach.

He left Hollywood in the 40s to become a rancher.

Bancroft is entombed next to his wife, Octavia,

who had a few roles in silent films of the 20s.

Let's make our way to the next corridor down.

The left wall is J.

The first crypt high on this wall is actually an unmarked community crypt,

which houses the remains of a number of notable individuals.

Hugo Ballin was a renowned artist whose murals can be seen in

the Griffith Observatory, Wilshire Boulevard Temple,

and even right here in this mausoleum.

His wife Mabel was a silent film actress,

perhaps best known for her role alongside Tom Mix

in Riders of the Purple Sage in 1925.

Olaf Hytten was a Scottish actor seen in some 300

productions, including The Ghost of Frankenstein. He died of a heart attack

sitting in his car in the 20th Century Fox lot.

And also here is Jay Belasco, an actor of mainly silent film

whose career hit a wall after his arrest

for drug possession in 1920.

In the next corridor down we find wall C on the left.

At the bottom is the crypt of Beverly Hills' favorite Granny, Irene Ryan.

She played "Granny" Daisy Moses on the beloved 60s TV series The Beverly Hillbillies,

in nearly 300 episodes.

"Four score and seven years ago,

our fathers brought forth to this continent a new nation,

conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition

that all men are created equal."

"By dingy, that's a dandy speech! I'm proud of ya!"

"I didn't write it.

That was written by Abraham Lincoln, the president that whooped the south."

"The south was not whooped."

"Granny, General Lee surrendered to General Grant."

"He did not!"

"General Lee figured that Grant was a blacksmith,

and he handed him his sword so he could sharpen it.

And don't you ever forget it!"

The role was originally going to go to Bea Benaderet,

but when Irene showed up she blew everyone away

with her feisty performance.

Despite achieving her greatest notoriety later in life,

Irene's career spanned decades even

before television, on vaudeville and radio.

Back up this hallway on the left is the Columbarium of Faith.

Just below the window is the niche of Henry Kutner.

He was a writer, mainly of sci-fi, fantasy, and horror. He often collaborated with

his wife C. L. Moore, whom he met through an HP Lovecraft literary circle.

He's revered by many in the sci-fi world, including Ray Bradbury. But his frequent

use of pseudonyms may have kept him from the notoriety he deserved.

Several of his stories were made into teleplays, including his story "What You Need" for

The Twilight Zone.

High in the corner to the right is actress Ilka Gruning.

She was born in Vienna and her career began in Europe in silent films like Peer Gynt

in 1919. But like so many of her generation she was forced to flee Europe

at the rise of the Nazi Party in the 30s. Her work in the States landed her a

small role in Casablanca as Mrs. Leuchtag. She worked regularly in Hollywood

but by the 50s decided to try and go back to Germany, but found it not to be

the same country she had left. She appeared in just one role there before

returning to America.

Let's head to the other end of this corridor, to the

Columbarium of Hope. Left, by the entrance, is the niche of William Bishop.

His career began on Broadway before moving on to television and film.

Se starred as Steve Connors on the 50 sitcom It's a Great Life.

He also starred in a number of Western films, including Top Gun - no not that one,

that one.

He was just 41 when he died of cancer.

Let's make our way up to the second level.

The corridor to the left is Unity.

Low on the right wall, near the end, is Harvey Korman,

one of Hollywood's favorite funnymen. He will forever be remembered for

his hilarious performances on The Carol Burnett Show in the 60s and 70s.

In fact, one legendary sketch with Tim Conway had him laughing so hard,

he actually wet himself on live TV.

"I'll just give you a little shot here.

We'll be right with ya..."

He was nominated for seven Emmys for his work on the show, winning four times.

He also had memorable roles in a number of Mel Brooks films,

including as Hedley Lamarr in Blazing Saddles.

At the other end of this corridor is the Cherish Columbarium.

Here is the niche of renowned sculptor Robert Graham.

His first major commission was the gateway to the Los Angeles Coliseum for the 1984

Olympics, which features two enormous nude headless statues, male and female,

meant to symbolize the contestants. He also crafted the Great Bronze Doors at

the Los Angeles Cathedral, a small replica of which is actually featured

right here on his urn.

He was married to actress Angelica Houston.

Let's head down to the basement... and here we are in the basement.

The right-hand corridor is Twilight.

On the right is the crypt of Glenn Ford. He was an actor and leading

man of Hollywood's golden age, perhaps best remembered for his role alongside

screen goddess Rita Hayworth in the 1946 film Gilda.

"I hate you too, Johnny.

I hate you so much that I think I'm gonna die from it.

Darling.

I think I'm gonna die from it."

He won a Golden Globe for his role in Pocketful of Miracles,

and played Pa Kent in 1978's Superman.

He was also notable for his many western roles, considered the fastest gun in

Hollywood Westerns.

The next corridor down is Repose.

On the left wall we find wrestler Baron Michele Leone.

With the advent of television Leone became one of

pro wrestling's first major stars. In 1952 he was part of pro wrestling's

first $100,000 gate, when he faced Lou Thesz in a title bout.

Despite losing that bout he remained one of the sport's biggest draws and was renowned, with the

likes of gorgeous George, for his showmanship and in-ring prowess.

He died at 79 from injuries sustained from being struck by a car while crossing the street.

That'll do it for the mausoleum, let's head out back.

Straight east of the southeast corner of the mausoleum, halfway into section 13,

is the grave of E C Segar.

He was a cartoonist best known as the creator of Popeye.

The infamous sailor man who eats spinach for strength made his first appearance in 1929's

comic strip Thimble Theater.

In 1933 Max Fleischer's studio began producing Popeye

short films for Paramount. The cartoons became immensely popular.

"I'm Popeye the sailor man.

I'm Popeye the sailor man.

I'm strong to the finish, 'cause I eats me spinach.

I'm Popeye the sailor man."

Soon Popeye would pop up in just about every medium, from books to

TV, film, and video games.

Heading south, just past the tiny brick wall, is section 13S.

Here we find Cliff Osmond. He was an actor who appeared in a number of

Billy Wilder comedies, including The Fortune Cookie, and The Front Page.

He guest-starred in many TV shows of the 60s and 70s,

like Here's Lucy, and All in the Family.

He was also a screenwriter, pending teleplays for the streets of San Francisco,

and Serpico.

One row back is Ted Bessell.

He played Donald Hollinger on the 60s sitcom, That Girl.

The role earned him an Emmy nomination.

He had a number of minor roles in other sitcoms before moving

into directing, helming episodes of The Tracey Ullman Show, which won him an Emmy.

Southwest is block 12. Right before block 7, straight south of the mausoleum,

is an upright Mortensen marker. Right next to that we find the grave of one of

television's favorite moms, Barbara Billingsley.

She played June Cleaver on the popular 60 sitcom Leave It to Beaver, and the sequel

The New Leave It to Beaver in the 80s.

"Leave it to Beaver.

Starring Barbara Billingsley,

Hugh Beaumont,

Tony Dow,

and Jerry Mathers as the beaver."

She also had a role in the hilarious 1980 film, Airplane!

Back across the street north, let's head to the Elks section.

West of the sidewalk that leads to the Elks monument, right near a tree, is the grave

of Hughie Mack.

He was actually working as an undertaker in Brooklyn when he was

discovered sleeping on a bench by a couple of Vitagraph producers.

They were on the outlook for another rotund funny man for their films, and thought

Mack might be perfect. They offered him a job and he relocated to California to

begin making silent comedies with Vitagraph.

He performed in some 200 productions in the teens and 20s,

becoming a favorite Vitagraph regular.

He died of heart disease at just 42.

Continuing southwest along Rose Avenue, we reach section 5 on the left.

Right at the border of sections 5 and 5s, most of the way to the fence, is the

approximate location of the unmarked grave of Charles Bickford, an actor best

known for supporting roles. He was nominated for a Best Supporting Actor

Oscar three times, for The Song of Bernadette, The Farmer's Daughter,

and Johnny Belinda.

He also played John Granger in The Virginian.

Have you ever been to Venice?

"Ah, Venice."

No, not that Venice. The one right here in Southern California.

Well, our next stop was not a star, but he did contribute to the LA experience.

Abbot Kinney was a developer who, in 1905, attempted to recreate Italy's Venice

right here in Southern California, with man-made canals. The idea didn't quite

stick, however, and over the decades most of the canals were eventually replaced

by roads, but the name did stick and a handful of canals do remain to this day.

Venice Beach has also become a popular tourist destination.

Finally we continue along Rose Avenue to section 2 on the right.

Almost all the way to the fence, in a ways from the road,

we find Leo Carrillo.

He was an actor and conservationist, perhaps best known as Pancho in the Cisco Kid.

Prior to that he worked as a political cartoonist and also performed on Broadway.

And for 18 years he served on the California beach and Parks Commission.

As a result of his efforts to preserve California's natural and historic wonders,

a stretch of beach in Malibu bears his name: Leo Carrillo State Park.

And that concludes our tour.

If you know LA you know we love all things green and eco-friendly -

from our grocery bags to our cars, and now, yes, even our graves.

In recent years Woodlawn developed Eternal Meadow,

a green burial section in the cemetery.

Green burial is designed to have minimal impact on the environment.

Traditional burials can seep thousands of gallons of toxic embalming fluid into the ground,

and often include imperishable metal caskets and concrete burial vaults.

With green burial there is no embalming, only wood or wicker caskets,

organic burial shrouds, and biodegradable urns.

And the ground only features sustainable native grasses and flowers.

If you're a fan of Ask a Mortician, you've probably heard about natural burial.

Well, here it is.

So if you want to save the planet even after you're dead,

call Woodlawn.

1985-1995 Mustang 5.0L Ford Performance B303 Performance Camshaft Review - Duration: 5:03.

The Ford Performance B303 Performance Camshaft is a great choice for any '85 to '95 5-liter

pushrod Mustang owner who's looking to get a great choppy cam that sounds good, and produces

great mid-range torque, and some top-end power suitable for street, and relatively frequent

track usage.

Now, everyone knows the 303 cams from Ford Performance are pretty affordable, coming

in at just under the $200 mark.

The installation, however, is pretty involved.

You'll need some knowledge and expertise on deck.

Expect the full three out of three wrenches on our difficulty meter.

Now, if you're looking for an affordable, reliable camshaft for your pushrod motor,

then everyone in the Mustang world knows that the Ford Performance 303 cams, otherwise known

as the alphabet cams, are a great choice for that motor for the price.

The B303 cam I have here isn't the first in line, it's a step-up from their starter cam,

so it's got a little more to offer.

Now, let me break down the options and explain who the B cam will be for, and, obviously,

what the rest of them offer.

Now, the first cam in line in the alphabet cam series is the E303 cam, which is actually

what I had in my own '95 Cobra, so I have a little bit of experience with that.

Now, it works pretty good, not too crazy.

It's got a very nice muscle car choppy sound and feel to it, especially when you combine

that with, say, a Borla exhaust like I did.

Now, it makes a ton of low-end torque, which is obviously great for the street usage, and

makes it perfect for any daily driver or weekend warrior, and it's great for light track runs.

Overall, it's a really good starter cam.

Now, if you're looking for something a little bit more ballsy than the E303, then the B303

I have here today is the next one in line.

This cam is a nice step up from from its predecessor, and it's still street-friendly, just the peak

power moves up a little higher into the mid-range.

You can expect more power at that peak than the E303, since it's slightly bigger, so the

track benefits are a little bit more noticeable here.

Now, the sound is even choppier because of that, too, so expect some serious muscle with

this one.

Now, next in line is the F303, which is often referred to as the boost cam because it's

more suited for forced induction setups.

It'll perform at its best under boost, making amazing power, and that's really because it's

a happy medium between a high lift and a long duration.

Now, don't get me wrong, it performs well in naturally aspirated 5.0s, but under boost

you'll appreciate it even more.

The next two cams in line, the X cam and, lastly, the Z303 cam, will pretty much be

your track-dedicated options.

Now, those have the most lift out of all the alphabet cams, the biggest chops, and the

most power, especially at the top end.

Now, those may require a bit more modification than the previous cams, and expect them to

not really work well on the street.

Those last two are meant for the strip only.

Let's get back on track to the B303 cam here.

Again, it's great for the best of both worlds without being too overbearing for a street

car, while still being a good motor sports cam.

You'll be able to keep your 1.6 rocker arms, but Ford Performance does recommend upgrading

your valve springs to the appropriate recommended pair, depending on if you're running stock

heads or an aftermarket set.

Now, the stock 5-liter HO cam advertised specs for intake and exhaust duration are 266 degrees,

and lift being at 444.

The B303 specs here are advertised at 284 degrees and at 480.

This is one of those cams that makes driving just a little bit more fun.

It'll give you a respectable horsepower gain, especially when paired with some good bolt-ons

like headers, exhaust, intake, and a good tune.

You could be pushing up to the 300 horsepower range with a good setup, running a B303 cam

from Ford Performance, and this one only runs you around the $190 to $200 range.

Look, at the end of the day, this is a great option for your stock motor.

No real upgrades are needed, it's kind of just a bolt-on-and-go, so to speak.

But, it is a good idea to pick up a new set of valve springs, like I said before, just

to make sure your valve seat pressure's set at 120 pounds and 295 open, just to make sure

you don't lose compression and, ultimately, lose power.

The installation for our cam, which goes without saying, I think, is one that requires some

know-how and the proper tools and time.

Full three out of three wrenches on our difficulty meter here for this one, and expect to have

the entire toolbox on deck if you're tackling this yourself.

Since, this is an overhead valve cam, you're not working at the top of the motor, like

you would be with a dual-overhead cam setup on a 4.6, so this may prove to be a bit more

difficult for you.

Overall, you'll take the better part of a day to get the job done, since it is an in-block

cam, but overall, it's really not an impossible job to tackle.

If you're not comfortable doing this one yourself, no shame handing it over to a professional

to get the job done properly.

You want to keep in mind that does tack on the ending cost, at the end of the day.

Just to wrap things up here, if you're the owner of an '85 to '95 5-liter pushrod Mustang,

then you might want to check out the Ford Performance B303 Camshaft, which you can find

right here at americanmuscle.com.
