    Wiper Delete

    I wish I lived somewhere without rain, heck I need an ice scraper... (no I don't drive it in the snow) try some of the old school hot rod suppliers, I have seen a number of show cars with fairly stylish caps over the wiper splines just a thought gtss :canada:

    Undercarriage squeaks driving me crazy

    it certainly could be almost anything, but if it will make the noise while idleing and the vehicle is not in motion, you could probably safely rule out suspension. I would go underneath and tap/bang gently with the palm of your hand or a rubber hammer and see if you can duplicate the nosie. If I...

    unusual engine vibration

    are you sure it is actually coming from the engine, based on what you are describing, the first thing that came to mind is a u-joint/driveline issue. but it is really hard to diagnose that without feeling it, gtss

    I'm with you, I did not want to cut up any part of the car either. 65 fasback I installed the deck in the glove box opening, I did loose the glove box. a small amp that I was able to mount horizontally under the glove box, basically at the lowest edge of the dash panel front kick panel...

    Fork on the road (manual or power)??

    question along the same line... for those of you who have gone to a manual rack, is the steering effort roughly the same from stock manual box to manual R&P, I currently have a manual box, run 245 tires up front and am happy with it, but I do plan on changing to R&P soon and am curious if...

    Opinion on 347 Shortblock?

    I can't comment on the builder, but I went from a nicely built 302, to a 347. I used the scat crank also. I had the machine work done and did the assembly myself, I am completely and totally thrilled with the results. the increase in power and torque ( no dyno measured) is stellar, using the...

    Body replacement

    I expect the insurance company to write it off, in which case I will by it back, as there is far too much good stuff to give up ideally I would find a decent shell and just swap everything over I also realize it "can" be fixed, but is the effort worth the return compared to finding another...

    Body replacement

    Short story, my wife and I were driving Route 66 from end to end, a complete nut job that I think was suicidal, deliberately rear ended my 65 fastback at about 45mph. end result being we are basically OK but I now have a short wheelbase 65 mustang. I have not got the car back home to do a full...

    Who in here has put a radio in their glove box?

    sorry no photos today, my camera is at work I removed the cardboard box entirely, mounted a peice of wood to two "L" bracets and cut a square hole in the wood, installed the tuner installation box into the wood and painted everything up to look pretty, my satelite radio is in the forward...

    Popping under quick throttle opening

    I have to agree with some of the previous posts " possibly an exhaust valve no opening properly causing the compressed gasses to exit back through the intake track. bent pushrod maybe " and pull the plugs to take a further look a broken valve spring will cause strange noises, and often...

    65 Stang gear whine

    if one of the bearings is the source of the noise, then replacing the culprit will solve the problem however gear whine can present itself like you have described also. in which case you likely would have to replace gears, and while you are in there, this would be the opportune time to change...

    T-5 swap question

    When I put my T5 in I used the toploader bellhousing original z bar and adapter plate to the T5. I would think the fulcrum adapter would be fine, the only other thing I would check. What is the depth of the T5 bell housing, because with the adapter plate it moves the trans back approx 3/4 "...

    Fuel Gauge Sending Unit - Voltage?

    5.5 V sounds about right, if you check with a test light you should find it pulsating, that is what the IVR puts out when you grounded the signal wire- did you ground it near the sender so it is testing the full guage circuit because from what you are explaining it all sounds like it should...

    Got spark, fuel and compression, but wont start.

    If you do have a good spark at the plug as mentioned above, and in fact the timing is correct there is at least some chance that with trying to start it repeatedly, you may have flooded the thing severely which will wash down the cylinder walls resulting in not enough compression to start, if...

    65 modded mustang vs 05-08 handling comparison

    I too have both, 65 fastback, and 06 convertible. D.Hearne , I am shocked you find the new one scary over 120, I have actually commented how smooth and stable I find the new ones, as others have said, I do think the new ones are overall better, but ... 40 years of technology and they should...

    Electronic Fuel Pump

    I run electric, no problems by the way if you do go the electric route, remember that most electric pumps like to push fuel, not pull it so mount the pump as close to the tank as you can gtss
