    Oil Pump Replacement...

    Are snapped oil pump shafts in early 90's 5.0's that common? A friend called me last night and that was what I told him to check based on what he discribed with his '91. Today he confirmed that the shaft had indeed snapped.

    Protecting your cement

    I just use cardboard or an old piece of plywood. I found that cardboard is quite renewable if you buy more parts. :D

    Tremec swap ????

    Ok, I am confused. You can buy a Tremec TKO swap kit which includes a bellhousing from some places advertised as fitting 289, 302, & 351. Other places sell a kit with an adapter/spacer to install the TKO with your original early style bellhousing. As I am cheap, I am not willing to spend the...

    Used tires...

    When I was in college I worked for an Auto Parts store, one store I was assigned to put me into the "delivery driver" position. The truck was a real piece of work--once you got past the filth, the shifter was broken off and was replaced by a threaded rod with heater hose over it, the windshield...

    T5 Bellhousing

    Is the "spacer" the same as the adapter sold for a T5 install or is there a different spacer (i.e. cheaper...) for the TKO install. I do have the original 69 manual bellhousing already.

    T5 Bellhousing

    Will a late model T5 bellhousing bolt up directly to a Tremec TKO500 or 600 or do you have to have an early bellhousing and adapter?

    Sold my 73 Fastback today!

    Well, a bittersweet day and end to a long weekend. I took my 73 Fastback to Pomona this morning and sold it. The car was awesome to look at and drive--always getting thumbs up and waves from other people on the road. :nice: But, now I have room to get back to work on my '69 restoration. And...

    anyone ever tried this? drilling drums?

    I had a drum explode once, I wouldn't recommend drilling it and wouldn't ride in a car that had it done to it.

    Getting the Mustang painted and need some help

    Here is the areas where the stripe meets the valence. Remember, the yellow car is original 1973 paint and stripes. The red car is mine and is with the stripes you can buy today (basically what you may have to do as well....). Notice how the small stripe on the red car curves back towards the...

    Getting the Mustang painted and need some help

    Been there! Here is what I have--there was a yellow 73 in Mustang Monthly about 3 or 4 months ago that is an original paint car with the hockey stick stripes. I took lots of pictures of that same car when I saw it at the Rancho Santa Margarita Ford show about 2 years ago. The difference I...

    Do I really need a new quarter...

    It is difficult to tell the extent of the damage with the pictures. However, with a skin you are going to run into a lot of issues to get it to fit top and bottom, front and rear. There will be filler at the front, rear, and the entire top once the skin is in place. Assuming there is no rust...

    Delimma on our tax return. Need advice please

    The employer is responsible for paying their portion of taxes on any W-2 employee, if she got a W-2, the employer should have paid their portion. The EMPLOYEE portion however is another story as they do not have an obligation to withhold other than what the W-4 request was. Not sure how to...

    Man, I know what your saying, I had to buy a jacket this year. It got down into the 50's the last few weeks! :D Believe it or not I am taking the 73 in to get the A/C charged on Monday! Could have used it today--it was BEEEAUTIFUL out. :nice:
