    cold air intake on a 1969 Mach 1?

    I have researched the idea of a shaker hood and have concluded that there isn't enough air entering to the shaker to make any difference due to the fact that the front of the car is pushing so much air away and up over the top of the car that there is no performance benefit to be gained. How...

    When was D.Hearne banned?

    I would like to opine that the decision to do so was pretty fornicating stupid. He was a wealth of technical information. If he was in fact banned, I challenge the mod who took that decision to step up to the tech forum with the same knowledge and acumen that D.Hearne brought to this site.

    gas tank sucking air in through the pop down cap

    I drove about 45 mins yesterday and when I went to open the trunk, I could hear air getting sucked into the tank. I opened the cap (flip down type) and heard a giant "whoosh!" and the tank made a popping sound, like when you inflate a collapsed plastic coke bottle. That is not good. I...

    widebands: decisons, decisions

    The innovate LM-2 comes the most recommended but it has a lot of extra features that fulfill no function on my 1969 mustang (OBD connection, by way of example) and which add cost. All I want is a dual sensor wideband so I can tune my car perfectly and keep it that way. FAST makes a dual...

    electric vacuum pump for power brakes and big cams

    These never seem to work. Everyone I know who has one has been disappointed. I have one on my car and it would turn on but never turn off. My mechanic thinks he found a good solution by wiring the pump to the brake switch. The pump activates when you hit the brakes and turns itself off when...

    removing a grant steering wheel and re-installing an original rim blow should be easy

    unless your old mechanic used a large hammer to pound the grant adapter plate into place. Threads are stripped and things are almost, but not quite, FUBAR. This was the same mechanic who "lost" my previous 1969 rim blow steering wheel in the first place. :mad: Talk about adding insult to injury

    1969 Mustang export brace follow up questions

    This is a follow-up to an earlier post. I was at the mechanic today. My global west tubular steel export brace does not fit on the driver's side by about one inch. The shock tower has sagged backwards towards the windshield and the brace extends forward of the holes by one inch. The mechanic...

    Export brace blues

    I recently got the new Global West tubular steel export brace and it is too long by about 2 inches. I took this to mean that the car had kind of settled in against itself. The mechanic working on the car put the front end up bottle jacks to see if it would reverse the body sag. He said...

    My mustang and I should be world records

    Me for being the dumbest dumbass in the history of dumbassery and my car for being the most irresponsible yet comprehensive rebuild in the history of mustangs. EVERYTHING on my car has been replaced except for the following: hood trunk lid driver side quarter panel driver side wheel house...

    I have a friend who just took delivery of a new 08. When he went to the dealer to get it, it had 356 miles on the odometer. I had 70 mile on my last new car when I got it from the dealer but 356 sounds like a lot. and thoughts?

    69 Mach 1 repop ABS quarter panel trim panels are crap!

    Ask me how I know. The body guy elected not to install the repops and stick with the originals but these were in bad shape. What to do? What to do? The body guy suggested filling them in with filler and repainting. What about covering with fiberglass and painting?, I asked him. That...

    Billet grill for 1969 is available

    I had given up ever getting one but something made me check out M Depot and voila I think I might get one. The site says that it is fully polished so maybe it just seems black.
