    Sadly, we lost an old member

    Damn, he came to the Cape when I was closing my shop and grabbed a bunch of Mustang stuff I had in the warehouse, that was probably 10 years ago. He was a good guy. Lived out on Long Island I believe. RIP buddy.

    Please don't Judge

    I would, and that may end up happening, but I'm having fun and I've never played with these little sixes so I figured I'd give it a whirl. I have a 302 sitting on the shelf, I just don't want to play that game yet.

    Please don't Judge

    That shifter is not an option, the engine is behind the seat, I need to go with a remote shifter and I wanted to keep the column shifter anyway.

    Please don't Judge

    Gentlemen, I'm old but not senile yet, I bought a new toy that has little to no support on the internet, and since it's almost a Mustang I thought I'd come here for help. I bought a '65 E100 with a 170 and a 3 on the tree. I'm not used to having no power, and my normal solution is generally...

    improving performance through rear end ratio

    I think we're missing something here, the OP knows it's running like crap but is going to ignore that and swap trans and Diff. I think you need to fix the engine issue before you start throwing cash at the rest of the car.

    1968 Mustang rear brakes locking up

    I forgot to ask, were both rears locking or just one. If you got grease, oil or 90wt. on the shoe it would grab as well,You'd need to clean them real good with "BrakeClean."

    1968 Mustang rear brakes locking up

    Either you have an issue with the rears, or maybe a mismatched master cyl. Check the rear brakes, make sure they are clean and the e-brake cables aren't too tight. And don't adjust tem too tight, if you still have an issue, I'd buy an adjustable Pro valve. And try that.

    1968 Mustang rear brakes locking up

    The residual valve is not the issue, does the master you bought have a large and a small reservoir? If it does the large is for the front brakes if you have disc, and the small is for the rear. Is that the way you have it hooked up? Is the proportioning valve you bought adjustable?

    A 65 fastback for me

    Yes this will be my first, I feel like a virgin. :D It's pretty clean , got a little rot along the rockers, and 2 small spots, maybe 2-1/2" on the 2 rear corners, everything is low enough I can probably just paint a strip around the bottom and use the crinckle clear over it. I haven't even got...

    A 65 fastback for me

    I've had too many Mustangs, and they're all over the car shows. And as an added bonus some of the less collectable cars are cheaper. I paid 6K for the Falcon and I just found a Econoline pickup in pretty good shape for 3K, I'm going to look at it Sunday.

    A 65 fastback for me

    A familiar face, I haven't played the Mustang game in quite a few years and this place has seemed to fade away a bit. Used to be 100 posts a day. Nice little FB. I see the addiction is still strong.:) The only Mustang in my life now is a 67 Coupe my father was building before he died. He got it...

    Wiring Help and question

    The only light with a separate ground would be the headlight, If you have a ground from the tail light bucket I would assume a previous owner had a grounding issue and brought it right to the front to insure a good ground, that wire can be grounded anyplace you would like. And might I add, you...
