    Soft Pedal Bad Performance

    I just got finished bleeding my brakes for the 5th time after converting from front drum to front power disc brakes. The pedal is low and soft, and it almost feels like the brakes drag after releasing them. I have the rear proportioning valve screwed counter clockwise (so unscrewed as far as it...

    power brake support help

    I recently purchased a power disc brake conversion kit from chockostang. My 1968 Mustang originally had original drum. I found that my brake support did not have the unique hole to mount the new pivot point for a power brake pedal. Chocko sent me a new mount with the correct hole, but I cannot...

    68 heat & a/c control

    Tonight I noticed a new issue in the Mustang. I have 3 controls that slide vertically on the dash to control defrost/heat/a/c. The 1st control seems useless, as I cannot get air out of any vents but the floor. Dash vents don't push anything, or the defrost. Could this be a bad switch?

    Disc Brakes and 14" styled steel wheels

    I would like to upgrade the brakes on my 68 coupe to disc, but I prefer to keep my factory styled steel wheels. I know using the 14" wheels narrows my options, has anybody seen a kit that clears these wheels?

Mine run right next to the drivers side header during a tight left turn and im trying to avoid some...

    Flashing Fog Lights

    The other night I heard a faint click, and saw my fog lights ficker off for about 5 seconds, then the same faint click occured, and the lights were back on. Tonight, about 10 minutes into my drive, the same thing happened. Could this be a faulty fog light switch?

    Has anyone ever used the starter solenoid to wire an electric choke? I was reading that on the face of the solenoid, the terminal closest to the firewall is 12v switched with key. How have you wired your electric choke? Apart from this my 4 barrel swap has gone surprisingly clean. Thanks for any...

    Grant Wheel install

    So I just swapped my factory wheel for a 3 spoke grant with the pony emblem-horn button. Prior to the swap, I had a functional horn. Using the Grant installation kit on the new wheel, I have no horn, which is the problem. Even if I touch to 2 wires together, no sounds happen. I remembered to...

    Windshield Washer nozzle

    Is it possible for a windshield washer nozzle to get clogged somehow? The drivers side works, and passenger side puts out nothing. It looks like in order to get to the washer line the cowl cover needs to be removed. Anyone have any experience in this field? Thanks -Danny

    Intake Gasket

    On my 97 my check engine light came on and the mechanic said my intake gaskets (upper and lower) need replacement. I was going to do this myself but cannot find my shop manual, any idea on how much of a job this is?

    Installing Gears

    My local mechanic wants 250 for labor + the gear and all the seals/bearings (whatever else comes in the kits) to install a 4.30 gear in my 97 cobra. Is this a real pain to install at home? I just dont want to go spending nearly 600 when its all said and done, seems to be a lot for a gear swap :-/

    Chip Gains

    What kind of gains will I notice by changing out my stock chip (97 cobra n/a) with a mail order? Is it even worth it, or can I reburn the stock one?

    Remote Switch

    on a 97 cobra, I need to run a remote lead for an amplifier. If I use the one on my head unit, i get no sound from speakers. Can I just wire this to a fuse that works in ACC or ON mode? Or can i get a switch? Anything to make the amp turn on and off with the car :)
