    1966 Mustang paint colors

    Check with your local NAPA dealer. NAPA's Martin Senour paint is pretty good. Also remember that interior paint is not high gloss like the exterior.

    mallory distributor

    The stock 1966 289 2V Autolite has 1.14 venturis and was rated at 300 CFM. You don't want to go too large on a stock to mild 289 or your drivability and fuel milage will suck. Believe me, I know (been there done that). You'd probably be happier with something like a 500 CFM Edelbrock. Remember...

    1965 coupe Battery draining when sitting.

    Clocks normally don't draw that much current. Try hooking up and ammeter in line with the battery with the car off and watch the ammeter as you pull each fuse.

    Is this a 302 block?

    A lot of late 289 production engines used the new 302 blocks.

    C4 Band Adjustment

    I had no trouble doing this by myself. Are you using a torque wrench that is too large? You could always ask someone to come underneath and help out.

    Are these heads junk?

    Resolved Need help!! 289 with 351 firing order issues

    You will need to refer to the manufacturer's webpage for the exact model of the distributor and camshaft to see what material they are made from. When I shifted from the stock Ford cast iron camshaft to an ISKY steel roller camshaft, I had to upgrade my distributor to a 1985 5.0 distributor that...

    Resolved Need help!! 289 with 351 firing order issues

    A 351W cam will work fine in a 289 if the 351W firing order is used. The distributor gear must be compatible with the cam, or in other words, a cast iron cam needs a cast iron distributor gear, and a steel camshaft needs a steel distributor gear.

    Top loaders and OD

    I'm going to need to find a drive shaft shop myself. I changed the yoke on the 1965's differential and need to have a shaft made up with the proper rear yoke.

    Might be worth a call to Borgeson's tech line.

    CFM question

    With a stock 289, you will need to be conservative, so that 500 CFM carburetor will probably run very well on the street. The original 4-barrel Ford put on these was only about 480 CFM since that camshaft will not turn high RPMs.

    Does this car have something other than a standard differential (TractionLoc, posi, etc)?

    C4 Transmission Servo cover leak

    I don't have a lot of experience with C4 transmissions other than doing a band adjustment and changing the fluid and filter, but I've never heard anything about parts falling into the pan.

    1967 Mustang 6 cylinder 7.25" differential question

    Nope, that rear is getting hard to find parts for. Rock Auto is listing a kit for it, but is saying there is only 1 left: https://www.rockauto.com/en/moreinfo.php?pk=4438635&cc=1332302&pt=2224&jsn=959 Here is a photo of what the correct FEL-PRO RDS13073 gasket looks like:
