    Shock Tower Braces

    Agreed! I can't understand why TCP used rod ends. IMHO this TCP brace is bling.

    Another Cowl thread

    I need help determining if I need to remove the vent over the cowl to inspect it better, or if I am going to be good as is. There was some debris in the drains, but they were flowing good, and no water is coming into the car. Here are some pics <a...

    '68 A/C Questions

    Do not release the vacuum before charging. Think of it this way. To release the vacuum would pull air into the system. Air is made up of non condensable gasses and moisture. You don't want either of these in your ac system.

    Mustangs and Fords Magazine

    Yeah I got mine Sat as well, and for now I am on the fence. I like the glossier paper and the fact that there are more girls:rlaugh:( I think it was a ploy to appease those of us who like M&F the way it was), but I miss having the dedicated restomod mag. I own a 07 Mustang, but modding it just...

    In 1966 were Reverse lights an Option??

    Back-up lights were an option in 66. My 66 has them. So yes you would have a smooth rear valance without them, unless of course, you had the trumpet exhaust. http://www.nevadaclassics.com/images/12296%20DSR%20webshot.jpg

    My nuts are stuck...

    I THINK CLP makes or is affiliated with Break-Free. I don't use the CLP type that I think you are refereing to, but I like the spray in the link I posted above. WD-40 is low on my list for just about anything, and I wouldn't use it for gun cleaning. EDIT: Went and checked my can and CLP...

    My nuts are stuck...

    I have used Rust-Buster with good results, and even though not traditionally used for rusted bolts, Break-Free works nice. The USN uses Break-Free on their small arms, and I imagine their weapons see more salt water than the average guys. Just my $.02.

    my speedometer cable keeps breaking...

    Did you replace just the cable or the cable and housing? If you replaced just the cable it needed to be lubed with graphite or speedo cable lube(graphite that costs more). If you bought the housing and cable pre-assembled it should have been pre-lubed, and that could mean you have a bind in...

    my speedometer cable keeps breaking...

    Maybe a dumb question, but did you lube the cable with the proper speedo cable lube?

    Head light switch

    This is good timing. I was thinking about making a few videos or tech write-ups with pics, of some of the things I run across while tearing down my 66. The headlight switch is just one of the videos I was working on. This is not the finished product, but it may help you. I know the video...

    tell me how to weld up side down????

    Good to hear! I'll second the auto-darkening helmet remark! Between that and wearing the PPE, it is amazing how much better you can concentrate when you don't have to worry about starting in the right place, and then once your started, worrying about molten metal landing in your ear canal...

    tell me how to weld up side down????

    Are you using all the proper PPE?(welders jacket, gloves, fire proof head sock) How high is the car? If you can get it high enough that you aren't lying on your back it will still suck, but not quite as bad. You may have already thought of this stuff though. EDIT also check out this link...

    94/95 parts for 66 coupe

    The Mustang II front end is fine for a driver, but it isn't really a performance suspension. If money is not a concern you could go Griggs GR-350, but it breaks the bank. Trust me I know. I am currently trying to save for one myself. Check with them first, but IIRC, the rack, and spindles...

    Opinions: R302, Dart, World or Boss

    I have read that too, but I am not sure where. If it is true that Ford did this intentionally to make a 347 require less machine work, then they inadvertently chopped off an important piece of piston stabilization. It would have been better if they had cast in the proper notching.

    Opinions: R302, Dart, World or Boss

    Not is so many words, but you posted a link so we could all read what Joe Sherman had to say: That is all B---- S----/ The cylinders are all the same as the stock 302 blocks. I built one with a 3.50 stroke, NO PROBLEMS I read that same thread over there, and it is inconclusive at best.

    Opinions: R302, Dart, World or Boss

    No one has said it can't be done. Custom pistons would go a long way to fixing the problem. All I said is that it could cause a reliability issue. There is a big difference in building an engine for a magazine spread, and building an engine that will have some longevity on the road. As for...

    Two words: Custom Pistons OTH, you could just use the money for the custom pistons and buy a Dart, or World block.
