    Headers and Engine Install???

    I would like to thank everyone that posted their install process and other hints! Looks like I will try to maneuver the engine in with the headers roughly in place. It did not look like there would be enough room to fit them through after the engine was in! Again thanks for your...

    MII Blinker Problem

    Most of the time I clip the neg lead to ground with a aligator clip. But I also tried using the ground present in the socket. I even regrounded the socket ground to the frame thinking that maybe it just did not have a good ground. Still no go :(

    MII Blinker Problem

    Ok... I am not a electronics expert but I do know my way around a multi-meter. My right side blinks work just fine... but on the left side only the rear works and something really strange is happening in the front. There are two bottom contacts and one side contact in the blinker bulb...

    Dyno'd my stang

    Don't most specs come off the crankshaft? So 140 HP at the rear wheels may be 200HP at the crank? I know there is an equation somewhere to determine the drivetrain loss but I can not find it right now! Chad

    You never know.. They may have ran out of one and just used the pull off kind for a while. I mean as long as they turn the lights on who cares :) Ummm but I do wish I also had the pull off one now :) Chad

    Proud to announce my 78 MII Project Website!

    Ok here is the story... I had a 76 MII when I was 16, built an engine for it, got 4 tickets and then had to get rid of it! Well now there is no one to make me get rid of it when I get 4 tickets :) Here is the first Gallery of my new purchase: http://www.hampys.com/mustang/MII_P1/ P1...

    Mine is a 78? But I nearly pulled out the dash trying to pull it off... It does not pull straight off! Chad

    Excellent! I took that metal plate out and then it was very easy to get to... Just pushed the button that was located on the drives door side of the switch toward the passenger’s door and the knob popped right now. Thanks again everyone, Chad

    Is it behind the dash? Sorry maybe I am just missing it! Looks like I can use the back seats but the front seats are shot! Man who ever put in this carpet should be fired... looks like it indoor/outdoor turf :) Chad

    Need help with MII Project

    First I just have to say WOO HOO just pulled my new project MII off the trailor. Have not owned one since 1990. I am having problems with the headlight knob... Does it pull off or screw off? I can not seem to get it off and I am afraid I am going to break the entire workings! :bang...

    Very cool, Thanks! Do you happen to have a pic of your car with these Wide/Tall Tires on it? I just wanted to get an idea of what mine would look like with them on it! Thanks again, Chad

    An emissions question for anyone in Missouri!

    Good News!!! I just got finished talking with my machine shop and they said in my county (I just moved) they do not perform Emissions testing. Funny that I am less than a mile away from having to be tested! HAAA Chad

    An emissions question for anyone in Missouri!

    If your car is modified (Headers, Cam, no Cats, Etc…) how do/did you get it to pass emissions testing in Missouri? This is why I am looking into historic plates. The testing if fairly strict on what will and won’t pass. Also are you running catalytic converters on your Street Mustangs? Can...

    Anyone have Historic Plates on their MII?

    I have been doing some checking and if you get Historic Plates for your any car that is 25 years or older, the state does not require you to pass Safety/Emissions tests? To purchase the plates you have a one-time fee and never have to buy another plate! Driving restrictions are 1000...
