    Engine questions

    I have come across recently a guy selling a 86 model 302 for about $300. Says it goes from heads to oil pan and includes a Holley 650 (that I don't want or need) and Weiand intake.

    Engine questions

    I guess I could also make sure not to make a habit of really stepping on it till I got a new tranny. At present I am running the true stock cruise-o-matic that has been rebuilt a few times over the years but never swapped out. Last rebuild on it was about the same time the engine was...

    Engine questions

    One last question about this deal.... If I were to add more HP or substantially more HP specifically wouldn't I at some point also need to change other items on the car? i.e. add export brace / Monte Carlo bar, maybe consider a transmission upgrade, convert to disc brakes on the front, etc...

    Engine questions

    Here's a tip to keep in mind that it pays to shop around. Found the exact same kit that summit has at CJ Pony parts for about $80 less.

    Engine questions

    I sort of figured it might work but I was also wondering if I needed anything else right away other than the obvious items such as related gaskets, etc.

    Engine questions

    I have a 289 that the previous owner bought as a crate engine about 10 years ago. Basically stock with a 2 barrel carb at the moment. The motor has about 45,000 miles on it and seems to be in good shape. Thinking of upgrading the engine components. I was kicking around an idea such as...

    Door hinge question?

    Thanks a ton for the info guys, this will be very useful. I had a forehead slap moment this morning and figured out that if the wife's car is not sitting next to yours in the garage you can open the doors a lot wider and get a lot better access to the hinge bolts. Looks like you can get at a...

    Door hinge question?

    I was checking out the hinges tonight and I figured out the first hurdle is going to be getting them off the car. BTW, it doesn't appear that the pins on the hinges are mushroomed. Stupid question, I haven't hand the Mustang for "that long" so I have never done it but it appears that front...

    Leak under dash

    "since you can buy the whole cowl top and bottom already welded together" I wasn't aware of that....where can you pick one of those up? Would make life much easier. I am considering doing floor pans soon and if I could find a way to make it more cost effective I might consider going ahead...

    Leak under dash

    My money is on the fact you probably have a cowl vent leak....very common. From what I understand it is also time consuming (i.e. expensive if paying a shop) to fix. There is an article on Mustang Monthly taking you through step by step on how to fix the problem but it requires welding...

    Door hinge question?

    Just kicking around the idea of rebuilding my door hinges since the kits are not expensive. Wondering if anyone has done this and how hard it is? My drivers side in particular...it seems the bushings are worn out and the door closes much better if you lift up some on the door when you are...

    reverse lights

    One thing that I need to get fixed on the Stang prior to my next inspection date is the fact that my reverse lights do not work. I am thinking that replacing the Neutral Safety / reverse light switch might solve the problem. My reverse lights are new, just put them on about a month ago. I...

    Couple Misc '66 Parts

    I have a couple of things laying around on the work bench off a '66 Coupe if anyone is interested PM me, trying to clean out the garage a bit. I have a filler neck. As far as I know it was original to the car. Used but in good shape. I have the reverse lights that as far as I am aware are...

    headlight issue

    "If the lights are on for a long period of time while driving it will drain the battery." Have you tested the alternator?

    turn signal

    After looking at it some more today I tried something just grabbing at straws. I reversed the two wires that plug into the tail light. My guess is that the reproduction pig tail that plugs into the tail light was wired backwards. Originally, I had the green with stripe (I think it is)...

    turn signal

    Just replaced the rear harness and reverse lights but it is all original style wires.

    Take out a broken Ignition lock

    I don't have any ideas myself without looking at it. I ran across someone a while back that had an ignition cylinder that was stuck but from what I recall he just kept messing with it and it eventually came loose. I had the opposite problem with mine one time. I was working on a speaker wire...

    turn signal

    Ok, so something strange has developed recently on the Mustang. When I signal a right hand turn all is well. However, when I signal for a left turn....both tail lights flash like I have the hazard lights on or something. Guess I won't be making any left hand turns with a cop behind me in...

    Take out a broken Ignition lock

    I am assuming you have tried putting a straightened out paper clip in the small hole on the front of the ignition cylinder to release the lock while trying to turn it to the ACC position?

    will this work?

    Thanks again...have never really done any exhaust work. Seems so often that having a need is when we finally investigate things. Going to look at the exhaust the guy has before making a commitment to purchase it but judging from a picture it looks to be in really good shape. From there...
