    Strong Gas Odor after driving

    My 1975 Ghia emits a very strong gas odor after driving. It dissipates in about and hour and no odor after that. Checked for leaks around carb, fuel lines etc. and found nothing. Suspect the carbon canister since it has never been replaced (original owner). Anyone know where I can get a...

    Factory Tach interaction with blower fan

    Usually my tach reads about 3000 at 60 mph in 4th gear and 3500 at 70. When I turn on the heater/defroster fan the tach reads higher. The faster the fan is running the higher the tach reads. If the fan is on high the tach reads 600 rpm higher than normal. With the fan on low the reading is...

    Vacuum Reservoir Purpose

    I have always understood the purpose of the vacuum reservoir was to keep the vacuum assisted brakes from being erratic. I bypassed mine (temporary patch in the can is leaking) and just put a check valve in the line and it does not seem to make any difference. Brakes work fine, A/C controls are...

    1975 Carb problem---question

    I just finished a total rebuild on my V6 and am having problems getting the carb adjusted correctly. Runs a little rough so you have to crank up the idle to about 900. Had a shop put it on a scope and do their thing. The mechanic told me the throttle plates were not closing all the way, and...

    1975 wheels 13" vs. 14"

    My 1975 Ghia came with CR70-13 tires. Rims are 13 x 5 with 4 bolt pattern. The Mustang specs do not list a 14" option for 1975. I have found a set of 14" x 6" chrome rims from a 1979 Mustang. Will they fit and what size tire do I use to make sure I don't screw up the speedometer readings.??

    Questions on V6 vacuum system

    I am rebuiling a 1975 2.8 V6 with 4 speed tranny. I have decided to disable the EGR valve and to run the vacuum from the carb straight to the vacuum advance instead of thru the ported vacuum adapter. According to the write up the purpose of the ported vacuum is to directly apply exhaust...
