    Clutch Pedal Play??

    BTW, v8only I agree about the halfway point on the clutch. Mine is adjusted so that it is just below halfway (closer to the floor). Not just off the floor! It doesn't grind in reverse. Furthermore, it is not difficult to put into gear. Finally I guess you missed the part where I said...

    Donor Cars

    I'll try to make this as brief as possible. The reason why Fox body mustangs are popular engine donor cars is because they have the 5.0 "HO" (high output engine). The crown vics and grand marquis have the regular 5.0 engines. Are you going to put a carburator on this donor engine? If you are...

    Clutch Pedal Play??

    What I did when I set-up my cable was I hooked everthing up and went underneath then removed the clutch fork cover plate. I took notice of the clutch fork freeplay. I moved the clutch fork/throwout bearing by hand so it was in contact with the pressure plate. Then I took up the slack with my...

    Clutch Pedal Play??

    I was having problems with my clutch after I had done a complete job on it, everthing including pilot bearing, pressure plate, clutch disc, reground flywheel, throw-out bearing, clutch fork, pivot bolt, clutch cable and bearing retainer were all replaced. Only thing I didn't replace was the...

    94 Thunderbird HO into 68 Stang

    The 94 T-Birds were equipped with 5.0 HO engines from the factory. Essentially the block and heads are Identical to the 87-93 mustang 5.0 HO motors. They would have the 351w firing order aswell. If you are going to carb this motor then there is no reason not to take it and use it.

    Engine backfiring (long)

    Check all plugs to make sure none of them have cracked ceramic insulators or other damage. Any idea if it is a late model "5.0-HO" or is it a "NON-HO-5.0" Because they do have different firing orders. The HO motor has the same firing order as the 351W and the NON-HO motor is the same as the...

    Engine backfiring (long)

    Some things I would check is to see where the backfire is coming from? Is it coming from the exhaust/tailpipe area or is it coming from the intake manifold area? With what you have described I would first check for correct gap on the spark plugs. Also I would check your plug wires and make...

    Polyurethane Lower Control Arm Bushings

    Is there a possibility that a piston ring compressor designed for a small engine like a chain saw may work in this application? With lots of lubrication. Just a thought. :shrug:

    will 89 lincon lsc 8.8 rear fit in 65 or 67 stang?

    I agree with D.Hearne, "Not very easily". The suspension you are wanting to swap in, is from a fox body car with a total different set-up. Firstly they have coil springs in the back. Then they are held in by control/trailing arms which would need to be precision mounted specially to the body...

    Fuel Boiling in the bowl

    Sounds like your old fuel line may be too close to your new headers and heating up the fuel. I would recommend re-routing the fuel line if possible. Otherwise you may run into the problem of vapor locks down the road. Another temporary option may be to create some form of a heat shield to...

    65 Windshield Washer bag

    Is it possible that your inner fender was replaced and that when this was done the bag was not replaced. To my knowledge they would have had a washer bag. Alot of the bags deteriorated and leaked then were not replaced because they caused rust in the immediate area. Therefore no holes were...

    Engine just dies, for no reason.

    Next time it happens pull your number one plug then plug it back into the plug wire, hold the metal part of the plug in contact with the block for grounding purposes. You should hold the boot with a good pair of proven insulated pliers just too be safe. Then have someone crank the engine to...

    I sure all the 5.0 HO's in the lincoln mark 7's are all speed density cars.

    Engine just dies, for no reason.

    How is your distributor? Check for cracks. I live in a very cold climate Too! The land of ice and snow - Canada. Quite often what will happen is frost will form on everthing in your engine and when it heats up may melt or turn into steam and cause havoc. Perhaps moisture is getting under...

    please help

    Tough to say, but it doesn't sound like a particularly uncommon car I would consider bench seats uncommon not particularly rare. If it was well taken care of and is in cherry condition that is a bonus. Maybe 7-10 grand?

    upper control arm shaft replacement

    The way you are supposed to do it is put one bushing in the control arm torqued down to 35-45 lbs. Put the oring seal inside the bushing then put the shaft in and thread it in all the way in, then put the other bushing in and then they are designed so you can center it by unscrewing the shaft...

    How to remove 3rd member

    If you have the brakes off then you are already half way there. Yes you have to take off the 4 bolts for the bearing retainer that hold it to the axle casing. Keep in mind that the splines on the end of the axle may wreck the seal if you take it all the way out. You don't need to take it all...

    removing old pinstriping

    You also might want to try a product called "Goo-Gone" it is made to dissolve adhesive residue and won't hurt the paint it is at the hardware store in the paint or cleaner section. You may want to try a hairdryer or a heat gun on low to soften the pinstripe first then use the razor blade...

    upper control arm shaft replacement

    Honestly your best bet is to replace them as was mentioned before. By the time you get the bushings out you will probably find the threads in the control arm have disappeared and you will have to weld the new bushings in. If you must remove them then an impact gun and/or a long breaker bar...
