    Throw out Bearing T5 Swap

    The fingers on the late clutch are 1" shallower than the OE clutch. I had a early style diaphram clutch and tried to install the MD clutch cable kit. No dice. I had to buy a late style clutch, disc, and throwout bearing to make it work. Good luck.

    Instructions on how to jet a Holley Street Avenger?

    No - from stock, whatever stock is. If you're correct, and it has 65/68s stock, going up seven sizes on the primary (which is already too rich) and a dozen on the secondary is just crazy overkill. If you have to move that many jet sizes from stock calibration, you have something wrong in...

    Instructions on how to jet a Holley Street Avenger?

    I doubt it's 65/68. I'd go two numbers smaller on the primary and up two on the secondary if it was me and recheck the AF ratios. I take it you figured out you had it timed wrong?

    JBA Headers Fitment Issue

    Hedman 88300 - Hedman Hedders Headers I have a MD cable. It clears fine. They do hang a little low. I can't speak to the quality of the headers you recieved, but these are fine IMO. I looked them over really, really close.

    JBA Headers Fitment Issue

    I know, I also read the instructions. I had the older '65 style mounts before. In my car, it wasn't enough. I had another 3/4" aluminum spacer sandwiched between the block and the motor mounts. Hope your luck was better than mine.

    JBA Headers Fitment Issue

    You didn't ask me. My JBA's hit the shock tower, the steering box, and if you use a manual trans, they interfere with the Z bar too. They don't fit a '64-66 for spit. After a decade of fussing with headers that never fit, I borrowed a set of Hedman 88300's to test fit..............and they...

    just put in some HID's

    My wife drives an '08 Scion XB. I left it alone for the first six months we had it, and then..........I couldn't take it anymore, bought all the JDM Toyota Rumion parts I could source in the US, and made this: I was telling this to one of my customers what I had done earlier this...

    98 Seats into a 65?

    Another factor is if you have an auto vs a manual transmission. You don't have to cycle the clutch in an automatic, so the seat height becomes less critical. In my car, I had to turn the door release handle 180 degrees so I could cycle the clutch and not open the door - and that was in...

    98 Seats into a 65?

    The easiest solution is to modify the seat pans and lower them. Mustangs Plus - Tech Articles - Lowering Seat Pans (Page 1) If you've got a die grinder and a MIG welder, it's free........and it works.

    98 Seats into a 65?

    You have to re-use your old tracks. You bolt the two front bolt holes into the new seats, and drill two new holes for the back bolt. The install is easy......... The problem is the seat buns are like 2" higher than the stock seats and can really cause a problem if you are over 5'8" getting...

    66 swerves BAD under heavy throttle!

    None of the 64-66 cars had rag joints or tilt columns or collapsable columns from the factory. Mine does now but that's a different story to a question that wasn't asked.

    lifter trouble

    You had two seperate problems: 1. The wrong head gaskets. You fixed this problem. And its not related to- 2. Your cam is flat and ate the lifters. You get to rebuild the engine again! If you google "flat cam" or "bad lifters" you'll find you aren't alone. They took all the ZZDP...

    Having Trouble Bleeding New Brakes

    I have a couple of ideas. 1. Check the pedal to MC pushrod. When I did my conversion from drum to '68 disc a decade ago, the pedal rod needed to be lengthened about 1/2" to get enough travel. The car would stop, but the pedal was like 1/4" of an inch from the floor, plus I had a whale of a...

    T-5 swap question

    When I first did my T-5 swap, I used the T-5 bellhousing and the fulcrum/spacer. I made a template out of the stock bellhousing and use it for a reference to redrill the new holes on the T-5 bellhousing. It worked fine, but I wound up going to a cable anyway. If you want my old pieces, I'll...
