    Questions on a '65 Mustang -- Any advice appreciated.

    First it has to be an A or K code, so you have that. Check your build date, the GT option was mid year, after Feb. I believe. I have seen early factory GT's with the fog wires, not passing through the radiator support, but just going over to the headlight buckets. If yours go through the...

    How do I remove horn button from Deluxe woodgrain steering wheel?

    The 65-66 simulated wood wheel, has a center cap that should just pull off, it is attached with three springy prongs. The 69-70 simulated wood wheel has a pad that is held on by three phillips screws, from the back side. 15/16 socket is then used on the nut, I would advise using a puller to pop...

    Anyone retro-fit a factory tach to their Mustang?

    The factory harness for cars with the tach is totally different then a non tach car, along with the other guages and sending units. The biggest problem with this conversion is that the plug going into the instrument cluster is different for tach and non tach cars. I think Mustang Monthly once...

    Serial number on 351W?

    Guys, I checked my '69 351W block, I pulled this engine out of a '69 Shelby back in the early eighties, and it had these numbers: 9F1 81907 the numbers 81907 are on a diagonal angle, kind of like going up steps. Can anyone decipher this? Thanks, Rick

    My brother had a 66 6 cyl Mustang with the 4 lugs. Turned out that the wheels from 240- 280Z Datsuns worked perfectly.

    roller pitman/idler

    I don't think the Quick Steer pitman arm, (made for 65-66) will fit a 68 steering box.

    Hmmm. I think you better recheck those dates. I think you are forgetting the GT350 Shelbys and GT Mustangs that had the 302 4bbl.

    Body dimension help

    I looked in the '66 body dimension book I have, and it shows the measurement as 54 3/4 at what looks to be the jack point in the front. And 55 1/2 just ahead of the front mount of the leaf springs. (the measurements are from the same spots as your 69 diagram) I could fax you a copy on Monday if...

    66 convertible doors

    65-66 doors and vent window assemblies are all the same, no matter if it is from a coupe, convertible or fastback. But the windows are different on each model.

    351 Windsor question

    What year did the 351 windsor have a roller cam? I have heard that the trucks also had the roller block, but no roller cam. The reason I ask is, I came across a 95 police car with a complete 5.8 in it and was wondering if this engine is a roller block, and is it worth buying to rebuild. The...

    WOW, you have to see this 66 on Ebay!!!

    Not to defend him, but putting 1.94 Chevy valves in small block Ford heads has been a popular upgrade since the sixties. It was much cheaper then buying the Ford GT-40 valves.

    Considering purchase - advice needed

    I agree about the price being way too high. You would be paying top dollar for that coupe, at that price it should be of show quality. As others have said, you are in an area where Mustangs badly rust. Check for rust repairs carefully. We are coming to the time of year,( before Christmas )...

    Bonding Plastic?

    If you want to reinforce it from the bottom, use some fiberglass cloth and a product like JB Weld. If you want to repair a piece with a nearly invisible repair, go to your local Hobby Shop and buy a product called Tenax-7R Follow the directions, also wear some rubber gloves. It will slightly...
