    Radiator swap

    I have never used that brand but they make a lot of claims but don't claim where the radiator is made, I would send them a question asking that. They say the rad. is 22" wide but that is at the edges of the mounts, looks like a 20" to me from the specs. I replaced my stock 20" with a '68 sb A/C...

    Fuel Pump Eccentric

    That's just it, you're mixing old (TC) with new (cam/gears). My stock 289 with original TC, gears, cam, etc. used the one piece eccentric. I *think* the later 302's used a 2pc. but don't remember what year they changed. The difference I was shown was in the cam gear center, where the...

    Headlights flickering and no dash lights!

    You do have the '67 wiring diagrams to go by? 1967 Mustang Wiring and Vacuum Diagrams I'm wondering if the wire that transitions between the 2 headlights is weak, strong enough for one headlight draw but not 2? Odd. Jon

    Headlights flickering and no dash lights!

    You're going to need to do some wire testing with a test light and ohm meter, you can get a test light for <$5 and a good ohm meter at sears on sale for <$20 normally. I didn't have dash lights when I got my car and found that someone had cut the dash light feed under the dash looking for a hot...

    Best prep/paint for rearend?

    I disassembled down to just the housing (bought a built/painted 3rd member to install so I didn't clean paint that). I started on the inside cleaning the housing and tubes, I bought 2 cans of oven cleaner from the dollar store and a toilet brush. Worked well, wear long dishwashing gloves so your...

    Mixing dimensions - exhaust

    I think drone comes more from mufflers and the frequency they emit, depending on how the muffler is designed and if both mufflers hit on the same freq. at the same RPM (say cruising at 40mph) it resonates through the muffler and metal floor boards, etc. I looked but there is not a lot of info...

    Mixing dimensions - exhaust

    Sonically I don't think you'll break the sound barrier, performance wise they won't perform any better than an entire 2" system as that is the smallest size in the entire system. Imagine putting a 1/4" pipe in the middle of a 5/8" garden hose and turning the water full blast, you will still only...

    Should I add Power Steering?

    If I were you I wouldn't complicate the rebuild by converting to PS, you'll increase your costs 4X just with the ram, control valve, pump, brackets, hoses, etc. The I6 is lighter than the V8 so it'll be easier to turn relatively. I would do things to make the manual steering lighter like using a...

    Power Steering Valve

    This site may help you, lots of good info. and exploded diagrams, etc. He does awesome work for a fair price but takes months and months to complete as he's a one man old school shop that is backed up with work. www.stangerssite.com http://www.stangerssite.com/leaks.html...

    American Racing wheel question....

    Here are a load of pics to stare at, this is my favorite site for TransAm reference as I'm doing a similar car: 66 Mustang notchback racer I can't tell you if the original rims were more rounded on the spokes (TTD) or more pointed(T): Sizes - more choices in the TTD: 14" x 6" / 15" x...

    Modern fuel filler in '68?

    Not that I've seen yet but I have seen 2 other ways of remedying the splash back and pump as fast as you want issues. One was to cut a slit in the turndown and weld in a disc with a hole in the center the same size as the unleaded nozzles (smaller than the old leaded ones). This prevented...

    Top End Engine Build 289

    Same here 289 stroked to 333ci, as mentioned the skirts have to be notched to go 347 and I didn't want that increased side load. Haven't started/broken it in yet. The X307 heads don't sound overly large with 1.94"/1.54" valves, just make sure they clear the pistons w/o fly cutting. Port match...

    Building a 66: Need Advice

    Welcome. First of all if you are talking budget I think you are better off replacing the original with similar or improved design than changing to something that will have to be modded to fit - 8.8, R&P, etc. all takes modding of the part and the car normally to fit and then you can run into...

    '68 new problem start relay sticking problem

    Inside the solenoid is basically a set of points, they make contact to send juice to the starter when you turn the ign. and break when you let go. You may need to rig a test light to the starter cable side of the solenoid that you can see from the drivers seat and see if the light goes out when...

    AOD shifter kits

    I would contact B&M and ask specifically if this kit will allow you to downshift from 2>1 with an AOD and your stock shifter. I read the description of 'manual control' as being able to shift through the gears manually vs. leaving it in drive, which is what you want to do. They should be able to...

    Gap Filler For Fan Shroud?

    I was thinking of using some closed cell black foam with a sticky side from HD/Lowes, probably in the door seals/ AC section. I think it comes in varying thickness. Jon
