    68 Drum Hub

    I don't think there is a difference. I know on the 5 lug hubs, they are all interchangeable. I doubt the 4 lugs are different in that respect. Why do you think the hubs don't work?

    Parasitic Draw On Battery When Parked.

    The ECU does need to relearn everything when it looses power. It does a bunch of system self tests at certain intervals. I've been able to pass all self tests in less that 30 miles before. It will get more efficient as time goes on up to a point as well.

    Parasitic Draw On Battery When Parked.

    Try unplugging the GEM, it should be under the dash on the drives side above the kick panel.

    1970 Mach 1 Brake Problems

    That is the way to go. It will isolate the MC to a single circuit and that cuts down on the components you have to troubleshoot. The other thing to look at is to make sure that your petal push rod is adjusted properly. If it is too short, you will get soft/long pedal travel.

    Progress Thread Motor Trans Pairing??

    You could just buy a T5z and put that in with the 302. It isn't that hard.

    New Guy With An Oil Problem

    Oil coolers on street Mustangs can be very beneficial even on a daily driver. In stop and go traffic conditions during the summer in areas like Los Angeles or even hotter places like AZ, the engine oil can bake hard from high temp. It all depends on where and how you drive your car.

    New Guy With An Oil Problem

    Correct, the oil pan does help determine the total amount of oil in the system. Any additions such as a cooler and/or remote mount filter also increase the oil capacity of the system. If you are going to run a cooler I would recommend installing a thermostatic control valve so that you aren't...

    Any Of The Old Timers Still Here?

    Coyote or Roadrunner =) Or at this point, even a Voodoo =)

    Any Of The Old Timers Still Here?

    Also the SN95 family is the same chassis as the Fox platform. While SN95 runs from 94-04 a lot of people call the 99-04 the "New Edge" to distinguish the body style change from the earlier SN95 cars. I've never liked the term personally but it is more specific. To add to the confusion, there...

    Ccrm Issue

    Did you try swapping the spark plugs in the bad cylinders with ones from good cylinders?

    Build Thread Vulcan 1968 Sohc Mustang

    Now I feel bad about my 67 just sitting and rotting.... Really nice work, I'm excited to see where it ends up.

    1968 Pre-mach I Conversion, 351w

    What I'm guessing is that the ECU connector wasn't making good contact and when you switched them you fixed the problem.

    Any Of The Old Timers Still Here?

    I could have sworn I posted a reply in here but I guess I never did. Work kept me from doing anything on my 67 so I stopped coming around as much but I poke my head in every now and then. I am mostly in the SN95 forums these days because I only ever work on my 03 Mach 1 these days since I...

    Brakes Hitting Floor. No Pressure

    Here is a little tip on how to bleed the MC while it is ON the car. As wmburns said it is usually very difficult on the car because of the angle the MC is bolted into the car. Block your front tires so the car can't move. Not jack the car up from the rear relatively high. Be careful and use...

    Old School 1999 V8

    Hmm, it isn't really THAT hard to do this swap and get the car running down the road. As wmburns said, the hard part is making everything in the car work after you have it all running. If you don't give a damn about AC and you don't have to smog it (which you said you don't) AND don't care...

    Ac O-ring Color - Does It Matter?

    I'm working on my AC system and I ordered a set of new o-ring seals for the car. All of them are green. I took the liquid line as well as the other line off the condenser and the o-rings were orange. Am I ok to use the green ones there or should I go get orange ones as well?

    Replacing Ac Pump - Do I Need To Add Pag Oil To My Pump?

    I talked to Ford and they said the part number comes prefilled with oil so I will drain it completely and double check that the amount they put in was correct. They were not sure about the accumulator but being that it only takes a small amount and part of what it does is soak things up, I...

    Replacing Ac Pump - Do I Need To Add Pag Oil To My Pump?

    Normally I wouldn't even ask and just add the amount in the shop manual but when I took the plastic cap off to bolt on the AC hose manifold, there was already oil in there. I was trying to figure out if the compressor I bought came prefilled and the page says most assemblies are precharged with...

    What The Hell Happened To This Forum?

    I poke my head in occasionally but I haven't been able to do any work on my 67 in quite some time. I moved to Washington and left my 67 back at my parents house. I still try to jump in and help people out with tech questions occasionally. The forum certainly does seem slower than it used to...

    Strange Gurgling Sound In Exhaust

    I think the point is, if you ever actually got the compression/leakdown test done, it would have given you a lot more information and you could have saved a ton of money in the long run. At this point, I would just get a junkyard motor and have that swapped in. It will be a very cost effective...
