    70NE's custom EFI conversion writeup - Part 1

    Whew, I looked at prices for everything today. I have the throttle body and am going to buy 100 worth a month till I have everything. That's the plan anyway. I might wind up buying a new carb in the meantime. The carb I have now is blowing fuel out after the engine is shut off. This is happening...

    Front suspension idea

    Wow. I'm going to have to come back and read this thread when my brain is working. I think I'll just print it out. I'd wanted to do a rack and pinion steering on my 73 mustang, but gave up on that project and just purchased a rebuilt stock gearbox. The problem was the location of the engine...

    Windshield Seal

    I had my windshield replaced back in 03 and recently discover that water was leaking through the windshield because has no seal between the glass and the upper window frame. :eek: I couldn't believe I hadn't realized that was why the car leaks in a rain storm. I thought it was coming through...

    Cranks but not starting

    You have the 5.0 wiring harness I guess. Check and make sure your coil is getting power. On my 73 I would then trace the power back to the ignition switch, and trace that back to the fuse panel.

    Starts in Neutral, but not park. Any adjustments?

    :doh: Ok, on my 73 there were adjustments to be had that affected the car starting in neutral and park. (I got it to start in Drive on accident :D ) I had to get under the car and adjust the linkage on/at the switch. It's been years since I did that. Can anyone fill in the big holes I'm...

    You're looking to swap in a 90 era EFI engine and transmission. You might search for posts on EFI engine swap and AOD swap for more information. I've got a roller 351w block out of a fprd truck in my old stang, but am using a carb on a wieand stealth intake. The engine is bolted up to a Tremec...

    Horn problem

    I wish I could help you with this one. Is there a way for you to add material to the contacts in the wheel to ensure that they are completing the circuit?

    Convertible Top Issues

    Hum, good questions. With the tension on the rear window insert unfortunately you'd have to simple test fit and adjust by moving the point where you staple the material to the tack strip. I've got a 73 and a solid rear window so I really don't know about the tension causing premature...

    Convertible Top Issues

    The power top on my 73 became manual when one of the hoses cracked and I couldn't find a cheap replacement. My top cylinders also leaked and forced me to add fluid at least twice a summer till the line broke. As far as that rear window. You can replace just that piece of your top. It's...

    71-73 Gas Tank Dimensions

    Dang, I should have looked at the thread before I crawled under the car. I was off a bit on my rough estimate. I came up with 35 x 25 x 8. Bullit, it sounds like we are interested in the same thing. You're looking to drop a EFI pump into a 73 gas tank. I remembered reading something about that...

    71-73 Gas Tank Dimensions

    Alright, my internet search failed. I'll try to get measurements for you when I get home today. Drove my vert to work today. I love that stang of mine.

    What Fuel Line

    Thanks for the suggestions. Metal lines sound like the way to go. Did you install a fuel pump shutoff valve? I haven't looked yet but I would figure Summit has to have something like that. I thought about making a surge tank as I'd seen others do online using a large fuel filter, but after...

    What Fuel Line

    I've got a 351w making 250 or so horsepower. You'd expect more power huh? I think it's the roller cam that's costing me with the large ports on those CNC heads I've got. Not the most optimized engine combo I've built.

    What Fuel Line

    I'm collecting the hardware I need for my EFI conversion following BottleFed70's build. http://forums.stangnet.com/653470-bottlefed70s-custome-efi-conversion-writeup-part6.html I've got a gift certificate to Summit Racing that I got for my B-day last month and I'm thinking I could use it to...
