    Engine Noise

    Here is a 1 pager from Crane on installing/adjusting pedestal mount rockers for 77 & up SBF. Take a deep breath and start from the begining to ensure each step is done properly. Sounds like you may not have had the cam lobe in the correct position when you adjusted them. Also pay attention to...

    Engine Noise

    Seems to be a lot of new "engine noise" threads in the last week. Be sure you do not have any exhaust leaks besides just the headers. On some heads, there are thermactor or smog ports that should be sealed. If the screw in seal is leaking or missing altogether, it will make the sound in your...

    302 engine knocking

    You probably have already checked this, but exhaust leaks from headers and or thermactor/smog ports on the cylinder heads will sound like a ping or knock commonly mistaken for valvetrain noise. I chased what I thought was valvetrain noise from noisy roller rockers for months, adjusted them 3...

    CRANE CAMS,,,GONE

    This is great news to see a well known and established brand come back from the dead. I'm especially glad since I am using their digital distributor and HI6 ignition system. I had been concerned about getting replacement parts like cap and rotor down the road... Hope it's a good fit for S&S -...

    Timing Pointer for 67 289

    The 289 and 302 use the same timing cover, so one in the link is what you need.

    67 Fastback body on 2005+ chassis?

    Unless the 67 is a total basket case, I would never suggest cutting it up for something like this. Don't get me wrong, I love the restomod scene as much as the next guy, but I think there is a line that shouldn't be crossed. In my mind, cutting the bajesus out of a 67 to make it fit crosses...

    Metal In Oil Filter

    Hard to tell from the picture, but looks like some type of washer. If that is trued, then it's reasonable to think there is a loose nut rolling around somewhere that once retained the washer. Like others have said, time to start a teardown to find some answers.

    What would you guys do?

    You can have both. In this economy, I'll bet you can find a really good deal on an 05-09 Mustang if you look for private sale (dealers need to make a profit, private sellers need cash to get out of th evehicle). Buy a nice newer Stang and keep your 65 to work on it as budget and time allows...

    5.0 conversion questions

    Why does he need to relocate the dipstick? Does it not work properly in the side of the block with a front sump oil pan? I was under the impression either location would work fine.

    Electrical issue..flashing headlight

    Is it both headlights or just one? If just one, then try switching the bulbs (left to right, right to left) to see if the problem follows the bulb or stays on the same side. If it follows the bulb, replace the bulb. If it stays on the same side, could still be a bad ground or short in the...

    Rear leaf spring eye bolt cannot be cut

    Mustangs Plus is your best bet. They are on the West coast and have complete kits with good prices.

    air coming thru vents..... hot air!!

    It's probably just leaking from the vents and the reason the air is hot is from the heater core. Mine does this too, but doesn't sound as bad as yours. I have seen people put shut off valves in the heater hose to shut the water flow going into the heater core during summer months. Do a search...

    Rear leaf spring eye bolt cannot be cut

    Titanium blades for the sawzall should do the trick. No fun getting those bolts out...

    Chrome or Polished Bullitt 17's???

    The wheels you are lookig at are meant for later model Mustangs. Yes you can buy spacers, but these not only become a safety item when you start getting too big, the wheels just never look right on the classic Mustangs IMHO. If you like the classic 5 spoke style, there are plenty of wheel...

    Master cylinder

    Glad it was an easy fix. Really surprised your mechanic couldn't figure that one out. I wouldn't go back to him again...

    Sound system questions

    I used RaamAudio product and am very pleased with it. Very similar to Dynamat, there have been some great comparison writeups on the differences and RaamAudio rated right up there, but is substantially less than Dynamat. I used in the whole car and it really helped kill the road noise, squeaks...

    Clutch Help

    So basically the same used in the popular and no longer available JMC kits. Do a search on this forum for JMC and you will find a bunch of threads where people (myself included) had a tough time getting them to bleed and engage properly. The good news is it can be done and in the future if i...

    Noisy Hydraulic Lifters - Any Fix Ideas ?

    Found the problem - simple (stupid) fix! Well my problem ended up NOT being noisy rockers, but rather a massive exhaust leak! Before I jumped straight into adjusting the rockers, I decided to check my headers for a possible exhaust leak. I have read posts where the sound from exhaust leak...

    Clutch Help

    Agreed. You need to bleed the hydraulic clutch more to get full travel from the clutch fork. This is pretty common issue with hydraulic clutches where you initially bleed it, see it traveling and think you are done, but you are not! You need to be getting somewhere near 3/4" of travel. What...
