    Advice on my Notch Project

    You guys have given me a lot of good ideas here. I just want to return this thing to stock, drivable condition again. How long of a project does it sound like. Any special tools? I already got myself a Chilton's. This is going to be a LONG winter break...:(

    Advice on my Notch Project

    So I bought a pretty nice '89 Mustang notch back in '06. Here is what she looked like the day I got her: So, I took her to a shop to get restored. The guy ended up getting evicted, and he pretty much abandoned my car. The landlord said that if I didn't happen to show up that day, it...

    Trying to recharge A/C, no luck......

    It's definitely not overcharged. When I push down on the valve stem, nothing comes out. Since I didn't do the r134 conversion properly (just bought one of those stupid conversion kits from autozone), is it still possible to get it all vac'ed out and replaced with R12? Or, should I just keep...

    Trying to recharge A/C, no luck......

    I didnt do any of that. All I did was buy one of those stupid conversion kits. :bang: I should have just kept it R-12. I've only been running the R134 for a little while (less than a year). Is it possible to just get the system all vacuumed at and go back to R12? I need to get those stupid...

    Trying to recharge A/C, no luck......

    Yeah, the compressor clutch engaged when I jumped it. How do I go about vacuuming the system? Could I do it myself or do I need to call someone? Thanks!

    Trying to recharge A/C, no luck......

    Hey all, My A/C does not blow cold air on full blast anymore. I tried recharging the A/C, but the A/C compressor clutch does not engage at all anymore. I figured that was some type of safety mechanism when there is no free-on in the system. I jumped the A/C compressor, but the system is...

    Where is the turn signal blinker unit??

    Hey everyone, My turn signals don't work on my '89 notch. The hazards work, though. I looked up the location for the turn signal blinker unit in my Chilton's manual, and it says its under the dash panel reinforcement. Do you know how to get to it? Do I have to tear apart the dash? Also...

    My ignition tumbler is stuck!! Someone please help!

    Guys, I feel like a complete idiot and have the stupidest question.... I try to start my car (1989 Mustang 5.0), and the key wont turn at all. I guess when I turned the car off, the steering wheel was rotated 180 degrees. So now, when I try to start the car, the tumbler wont move forward or...

    Brakes locked, someone please help!!

    Since there is also a direct brake line connecting the passenger side brake caliper to the master cylinder, is it possible for the same master cylinder to release the brakes on the passenger side and not release them on the driver side?

    Brakes locked, someone please help!!

    The person held the pedal down, and I opened the bleeder screw. Once I opened the screw, the pedal fell to the floor. Once that happened, I tightened the screw and began the process again.

    Brakes locked, someone please help!!

    Could the master cylinder still be the problem considering the passenger side brake works properly?

    Brakes locked, someone please help!!

    I thought that just changing pads on a brake job was standard practice. :shrug: You don't need a new caliper everytime.

    Brakes locked, someone please help!!

    I was hoping someone could tell me what was mechanically wrong with my brakes before I bought something new. Could not cleaning the rotor/brake assembly with brake parts cleaner cause this problem?

    Brakes locked, someone please help!!

    Ok, let me start off by saying that I am an amateur. I was changing the front two brake pads on my car. After changing the pads, I had this retarded notion that I had to bleed the brakes after a pad change. So I bled the brakes. That is where the trouble began. I had someone pump the...
