    HiPo or not?

    It actually does look like a HIPO. It has the valve spring seats, screw in studs and balancer. This is the first "HiPo" Ive seen that actually appears to be a HiPO.

    Changing window regulator

    Its easy but can be tricky. You have to fold the long arm in bit. You feed the regulator behind the door shell. I kind of roll the regulator into place. Then you can get the main part with the shaft into place. To get the arm to align with the roller tracks, use your window crank. I hope...

    Where Does This Wire Go 65 Mustang Coupe

    The first wire with lights does not look like any on my Mustang. I think someone pulled some interior lights with the intent to upgrade your Mustang. The one under your dash, well there are a few of those plugs that arent used. They may be there for different accessories. If you have a...

    New guy from Alaska with a huge POS '66 Mustang!

    Well I drove mine this weekend. Your car isnt that bad. I would be inclined to drive it with the current engine. Ive done the V8 swap and you have to change a LOT of stuff. But its so nice to hear that V8 rumble.

    Confused with '66 motor mounts- what do I really need?

    For 65-66, the actual motor mount is the same side to side. The frame mounts are specific right to left. The converible mounts are taller but you dont need to worry about that. You also dont need to worry about the weird 67 mounts. Im very happy with the T-5 in my 66. Im using the...

    Push Start ( Small gripe )

    A push button start has to be one of the easiest projects. I installed one in my old F250 when the key broke. I think they are cool. We have two old T-Bird with push button transmissions. I like all that stuff.

    Is this fender worth saving?

    Go for it!! Worse case is you learn something and still buy a replacement. But you will do a great job and you will be proud of your work.

    "Take a kid to a car show . . ."

    Good for you. I have to borrow my nephews for car shows. They love them. We are fixing up a 66 coupe for the 13 year old.

    looking to upgrade to headers

    I dont know how you would keep the metal out of your engine if you ported the heads installed. Its not hard in theory, you just scribe the gasket holes on the head and remove material until you reach the scribe marks. I think you would be happy with Tri-y or HP manifolds. I have the Tri-Y...

    Tax return upgrades?

    I hope I can finally get these headers out of the garage and installed. I just need enough $ for the pipes and mufflers.

    Received hate mail about starting my car..

    Same thing here but one neighbor didnt like when I park on the street in front of my house. I live on a curvy mountain road but they are all curvy mountain roads here. The police came and were mad they were called. Its a legal car parked legally. "A slight update: In talking to a pair...

    Replacing Valve Springs

    Ive read a couple tips here to keep the valve from falling into the cylinder when changing the springs. Some say to pull a spark plug and feed a bunch of rope into the cylinder. Some say rotate the engine to bring the piston up for each valve as you change the springs. I wonder if you could...

    Tri Y headers/ starter clearance

    IF you have the 165 tooth flywheel and bell, it sits out about 1/2 inch more than the 157 tooth FW. Also when I replaced my starter this summer, the stores have the Auto and Manual part #s mixed. So be sure to ask for an Automatic starter. I couldnt get the Manual starter to fit my 66 with...

    1969 302 max Bore?

    Id listen to the machine shop. I was in your shoes last year. I found a good builder in my third block. I watched craigslist all summer and found several people giving away 302s. I ended up using a 70 302 and put all my 1966 289 heads and stuff on it. It runs great and I got some free Cobra...
