    SOLD 1994-1998 (1994-2004?) Saleen Speedster Tanneau Cover (rio Red) (dfw)

    Howdy all, have a 1994-1998, or 1994-2004 Saleen Speedster Tanneau cover. I’ve read it fits to 2004, but that seems crazy. I’m 95% sure it’s a real saleen cover, since it fits the light bar, and made of the strong light material (not the flimsy one that cracks, and it’s light enough to install...

    65 Convert- New subframes, not impressed. (?)

    I got a set of global west subframes welded onto the convertible, and I can't tell a difference- at all. Yes, they are welded correctly, in the correct spots. Has anyone else had this experience? I've always read it's supposed to be extremely noticeable, the best mod you can do to a...

    Door latch problems- new latch. 65-66. Picts inside.

    Got a new pass. door latch for my 65. The old one would not stay shut, and randomly pop open at times, making the girl 'timid' and 'upset' about sitting next to me. So, new latch from NPD. Repro. First, the three mounting screws don't fit *perfect* like the old latch- not excited about...

    pink resistor wiring- easy way to do it?

    Howdy all- Have me a 1965 and I need to wire around the pink ignition resistor wire. I see it behind the cluster, as it crawls into a mysterious wiring loom, then as far as I can tell it turns into a 'normal' wire as it comes out of the firewall connector on the engine side. So, how long...

    Power Steering pump identification problem 65

    howdy all- I have a (rare?) p/s pump I think- it's for an early 65 with A/C. It has the "large neck." You see them for sale in the parts books for $275+, with no core needed. But they never have rebuilt ones... So I thought I found one at NPD. On my car, the return hose inlet points...

    94 Cobra won't start- tried many things

    Howdy all, the day that I might sell my cobra, it won't start. Funny, eh? The car usually starts and runs perfectly. When you put the key to the start position, nothing happens... in the on position, the fuel pump primes, the dash lights come on, all looks and sounds normal. But when you...

    How I mounted a 65-66 aftermarket radio in the glovebox

    This message might go in the Sound forum, but they don't ever seem to talk about classic mustangs there... I have had a cd player in the glove box for years- and it just sits there- on top of a block of wood. Crappy way of doing it, but I could never figure out a good way to mount it. It...

    94 Cobra died on highway, won't turn over but has power

    Howdy all- there are many 'my car died' threads, but I have not come across one like mine (yet) I was driving down the highway and the car just died. Still had power windows, radio, and internal stuff like that, but NO juice to the engine. could not pop the clutch to make it work either...

    Empty Carb Bowls & Long Starts- ideas to remedy this?

    Howdy all, I have a 65 289 with an Edelbrock 600. The problem is that the car takes longer and longer to start, proportional to the days it's sat- up to about 4 days, then it takes the same long length to start it (30 seconds) I posted a little about this before, and D. Hearn was right, the...

    Difficult starting after sitting for a few days

    Howdy all, 289 w/ rebuilt Edelbrock 600. -If the car sits for 3+ days, it takes 20 seconds for it to fire up, no matter how many times you pump the pedal, etc. -If I fire it up a day after driving it, it starts up with little problem. It has always done this, before and after the carb...

    Headers & hard, hot starting- Solutions?

    Howdy folks, I have a 289 A code 65 gt convertible- starts well enough when it's cold. When it has been driven for a bit, and I turn it off to go into a store for 5 minutes, then come out to fire it up, it's... angry. It turns the starter- barely. If I wait 30 minutes, it fires up like...

    Re installing axels- Problem

    Howdy all, I just replaced the bearings on the axles of my 65. It has a 3.00 "equal lock" rear end. one axle & bearing just went back with no issues. the other one is either tight at the bearing-to-axle area, or it is having problems going back into the pumpkin. Do I just whack the crap...

    Odd fix for backfiring through the carb

    FYI for those good kiddies that use the search feature of this site. I had a really odd problem of backfiring through the carb when I put any load on the engine- you could drive, but you have to very slowly accelerate or POP POP goes the carb. Edelbrock 600 1406. I totally rebuilt the...

    Another brake question (different?)

    Howdy all, I have a 65 289 Convert. It came with power drum brakes. I changed it over to the granada setup, and didn't change the booster, pedal, and jam jar master cylinder. Worked pretty well! I need to get rid of that Jam Jar. And I'm sure the booster is dead- it is testing dead...

    Proper Window Track Lubrication?

    Howdy all, windows are hard to roll up and down. Searched for this easy problem, but didn't really find anything on it. What's the best way to lube (or not lube) window tracks? this is on a 65 convertible, but I assume should be the same for all. I've used lithium grease, bearing grease...

    Tuning a 289 w/ Edelbrock with an A/F meter?

    Anyone done this? I searched and didn't find anything on it. This is just a wild idea of mine. Can I set up an A/F meter (2 actually, since I have straight through dual exhaust, and I'd like to know what's going on in both banks... (should be the same, but you know these cars...)) and then...

    Scary possessed passenger door

    As james bond as my Eject Door is, I need to fix it. My passenger door has a random issue- staying shut. It usually works fine- but, sometimes not so much- I don't have to slam it to get it to catch- just a few gentle trys, and then it latches. The real problem is that the door randomly...
