    Saying howdy, starting to research, thinking of a first gen

    Welcome back into the mustang fold. My suggestions are: Don't buy the first car you find, get the car in the best starting shape you can physically. Engine/drivetrain is the least expensive to repair/ replace, rust, bodywork and repaint are the $$$ items so if you find a car that is solid that...

    Stock Power steering problems

    Is the wheel trying to whip back and forth? if so you have the two small hoses crossed. This site may help with trouble shooting: http://www.stangerssite.com/hoserouting.html http://www.stangerssite.com/steeringsysteminfo.html Jon

    '66 not idling, driving me insane.

    This was confusing me, obviously you meant points dist. What is your timing set at? Did you use a timing light or do it by ear? Increased engine temps are a sign of timing being off and would increase a heat soaked starter problem >starter gets hot and swells which slows down revolutions...

    302 to 306 and carb

    C6 isn't too much for a sbf, just heavier, more rotating wt. robbing some power before it gets to the rear wheels. The BB cars came C6 if they were auto. The exh. sounds fine, most with a sb go 2 1/4"-2 1/2", 2 1/2" is more common as it will be there if you add other upgrades -carb., intake...

    First generation mustang Daily Driver

    Basic tune up to me is plugs, wires, cap, rotor, fuel filter, pcv valve, air filter (usually clean enough) and as mentioned points/condenser unless you install one of the electronic conversions available - petronix, Crane, MSD, etc. that replaces the points/condenser and removes that...

    Will Carb Spacer help?

    Single plane is one big hole in the intake opening - for top end speed/breathing like a car that runs 7,8K RPM steadily at the track. Dual plane is perfect for street and modded to run up to 6K+ range, it will have a divider down the midde and one plane will be half way up and one down low. I...

    Front Suspension Mounting Hardware

    I'll have to check the UCA nut size when home but the LCA frame mount (bottom of shock tower) is a bolt with an eccentric (egg shaped washer) on it to adjust camber. You could switch to an eccentric eliminator kit like this, if you're having to buy it all anyway, eliminates chance of camber...

    68 Coupe Restore/Remod

    Has the car been converted to V8 steering? 5 lug wheels? 8" or 9" rearend? Do you have exh. manifolds for headers for the 302? headers often hit the clutch linkage if using the stock Zbar setup, hydraulic may work but could also have issues with headers or PB I think. More info. on what else...

    Plastic Front valance panel

    I had good luck with a repop valence, it fit fine and I had a trans cutout done to it. If I do another (want to add brake ducts) I'll probably buy the OT and do trans cooler cutout and brake ducts. Jon I should have taken a pic without the driving lights I was testing to see if I...

    My 68 Mustang Project

    I chose the CompCams XE262 for my 333, it is just under .500 lift and is the tallest cam in this line that will still put out enough vacuum for my PB & AC (15-17) from what I read. You can download their free camquest program and plug in different variables to see what profile it suggests. I...

    Report - Dynomax VT mufflers

    I'd like to hear some clips also, in park revving until the flap opens for straight through. About what RPM does the flap open? Jon

    My '68 coupe, or is it a '67

    Same here being a '67 owner. Looks like someone totalled the front end and replaced it with '67 parts. Notice that it has the '68 side marker lights in rear quarters and doesn't have the '67 vents in front of the rear tires. I would take a good look at the front frame area, strut rod mounts...

    Headlight Switch Knob - Stem

    Never had that happen, matter of fact it was hard to get the shaft out while pushing the release button often. Just guessing that the little tang or whatever it is inside the old switch broke off or bent. Jon

    Electrical Modification Opinions?

    Relays can be a huge help on overloaded circuits, I plan to do something similar with an 'accessory' fuse panel in my trunk for all my stereo, defroster, heated seats, etc. and will use relays to handle the load of the heavier ones. I plan to use individual relays vs. one large 60A one as you...

    Falcon Owners stay away from TFFN.net

    That site looks like a mess unfortunately, did you post it in the 'for sale' section? Looks like the for sale section is free? If so why would you get booted? I've run across forums and moderators before, is the just a moderator or the forum owner? I would contact the forum owner if not and see...

    Magnaflow 2.5" system drones!

    Did you just remove the 12"-18" tips and put turndowns (how far in/out past the rear valence)? or did you remove the tailpipes and put turndowns after the muffler when you got exhaust smell? Just trying to follow, I read tailpipes as from muffler>over axle> to valence part. So the tips gave you...

    Time to upgrade exhaust

    Have you installed the VT's? I'm curious to see how you like them. I plan to get these for my car once it's running and would like to know how others who have them like them. I like the idea of a 'quiet' exh. with the ability to open them up with RPM. Jon

    Mixing dimensions - exhaust

    This was curious to me also, I was expecting to read that he had flowmasters with the inevitable drone, the turbo in most any brand is supposed to be mild tone/no drone. bacfire 'A 50' long 5/8" garden hose with a couple feet of 1/4" pipe in the middle will flow *much* better than 50' of...
