    Need second opinion on AC condenser to radiator placement on a '65

    I was told the same thing. Something about some of the air will go around the condenser not through it resulting in less heat transfer in the a/c condenser. Be carefull about getting a fatter radiator because it reduces some of the air flow through the radiator. less air flow,more of a chance of...

    Shoulder Belt Conversion

    I bought the same belts as t_Chelle16. They are really nice! and cheap. Just as good quality and appeaeance as the expensive ones. Install them just as shown on t_Chelle16s post. I replaced my headliner since it was old. Don't know if you can do it w/o damaging old headliner:D

    67 Radiator in a 65?

    I have an overheating issue in my 65 stang. I have a 180 degree thermostat and a 2 row 1" Griffin radiator. I live in Phoenix. It will run appx 195- 200 in the summer. Then I put an A/C in it. With the A/C off it overheats 210-230. It seems like the A/C condenser blocks just enough air flow to...

    Car won't warm up

    No I didn't check the sender. Reason is because it seems to work normal when the ambient temp is 50 or higher. I will watch the temp go to 180 then the temp drops to around 170 telling me the thermostat just opened. I think that I may just have to put a piece of paper in front of the radiator...

    Car won't warm up

    Yeah, I thought that if the fan stayed off maybe it might warm up a bit quicker. But you are right, once I am going down the road the fan doesn't really matter that much. I dont really have the timing adjusted. since this is a new motor,about 150 miles on it. I have an appointment at the chassis...

    Car won't warm up

    This morning took apiece of paper from my printer and put it in front of the radiator. The water temp got up to 175. Much better. I will put something in front of the radiator on the cold mornings until I can get my electric fan back on.

    Car won't warm up

    IF I set at idle or a slow speed long enough the temp will get to 180 then the thermostat opens and the temp will drop to about 160 - 170. Then it might continue to drop to about 140 and stay there.I'm used to it @ least getting warm enough to run close to the thermostat temp. It doesn't get...

    Car won't warm up

    On a cold morning (40 degrees) my car won't warm up. The temp won't get above 140-160. At first I thought it might be the thermostat. I had a Robertshaw 195. I replaced it with a new 180 degree one. On the thermostat housing there is a small bypass hose-what is the purpose of it? BUT it...

    Lights don't work on instrument cluster

    I put in a new instrument cluster in my 67 fastback but I cant get the instrument lights to come on. It seems like it could be a ground. Does the cluster have screwed in place for the grounding? What else could it be? Everything else works correctly.

    Remote trunk release cable routing?

    How is the cable on a remote trunk release supposed to be routed? If I run it in the rocker panel the cable will interfere with the sill plate.

    Can't get fluid from master cylinder

    I'm trying to bleed the power brakes on a 67 mustang. I can't get the fluid to come out of the Master cylinder. It is a new unit-booster & M/C. I disconnected the brake lines from the M/C and pumped the brakes but no fluid flow. No there is not a cap or plug in the holes. I had someone push on...
