    I Need Water Pump Help!!!!

    Info on car What year are you talking about. You most likely need to change the timing cover as well as the water pump. I did! I have a late model 5.0 in a 66 with a 66 timing cover and water pump. I needed to get a set of March pulleys for alignment, but then it all lined up perfectly. I'm...

    In my interchange manual, there are no toploaders or Borg Warner 4 speeds that start with "Z" from 59 - 70. Most all of the castings though have a "Z" in them.

    1965 Mustang Driveshaft Length

    It should be close enough to the length of a 65 manual drive shaft length, C4 shaft is a little shorter IIRC. But has the diff yoke been changed any time in history?

    How hard to repair idler arm frame bracket

    IIRC the idler on the 67 goes on the fender apron not the frame rails. The apron is less an invasive surgery as far a the structure goes, but still a PITA. But as the other poster mentioned, check for other rust. If it's rusting bad there, where you can keep it somewhat clean, what do the...

    ? RE: track width w/ Wilwood disc brake conversion

    I have the Baer's on a 66 "street/track" coupe, They're an even more complete and easier to install than the SSBC's. Their Tech was great when I had a question. Check out www.streetortrack.com for some of the better pricing on Baer's. I know Baer has had some increases in pricing, I don't...

    found a Classic

    For that price, the car went too cheap coupe or not. That's a get in, drive and have fun car with little worries. You couldn't build one that cheap if you put a fair value to your own labor. I like that color and if it hadn't been overused lately, I'd probably have painted my latest car that...

    auto to manual conversion

    I'd look at a TKO 500/600 vs the cost of a T5 and the internals upgrade. Could you do the upgrade or would a shop have to do the upgrade. Outside labor costs money. The T5 will be just a little better fit than the TKO, but the TKO is a much stouter tranny.

    ? RE: track width w/ Wilwood disc brake conversion

    I have the original Wilwood's on one of the cars, and did have to go to the 15's with more backspacing. How much more are the "upgraded" Wilwoods. The closer you get to 1K, the more I'd think about the SSBC or Baer's; that way you're track ready if you ever decide to go that route.

    10k or not to 10k...

    You don't say what part of the country you're from so I'll state that for the Midwest that's a fair price. Cowl is usually $1600, qtr panel 750-1000 per, floors 1K (+-) media blasting 750. that leaves $5900 for the rest. Put it on paper and both sign it. (leave some room for the gotcha's there...

    cigarette lighter fuse keeps blowing

    Was the switch attached to the metal dash? Maybe that's where it's grounding out. Mine are actually attached to the "cardboard" glove box. Theoretically(because it should already be grounded) you could drop it from the dash and let it hang and see if you blow fuses then.....

    cigarette lighter fuse keeps blowing

    On all 3 of my 66's; the flasher switch is in the glove box. It sounds like you have a bare wire shorting to ground somewhere

    towing question

    One other thing; if you decide to disregard everybody's flat bed advice. Pull the driveshaft and drain the fluid. It's gonna come out and get messy. (maybe not all of it, but enough)

    67 Mustang 289 Power

    There's a saying; "speed costs money how fast do you want to go"; But I'll change that in how much do you want to spend? From a stock engine you don't want to get too radical without blowing the bottom end. So you're limited to a moderate cam, heads, intake, headers and exhaust. A different...

    Experience: Comp cams 268H in a stock 289

    Is this the the Extreme Energy Cam? I installed the XR-268-R (roller) cam. This is basically a 351W cam and uses a late model spark plug configuration. (BTW I wiped out the cam early too)

    Did All 1968 Fastbacks Have Rear Sidemarkers?

    The early coupes did not have the indent for the reflector. Possible WAG is that when there were no repro fastback panels a early coupe panel was modified for use.

    Quick Rewiring ?

    The picture is quite small, but I'll tell yo what I think I see. Frist of all, are the wires to the regulator wired direct on not on a female plug/clip? What I think I see is the radio condensor/suppression pigtail. There is a decent picture of it in the NPD catalog on page 18. (their's...

    Quick Rewiring ?

    There's a yellow wire that goes to the "A" With a pigtail coming off going to the radio condensor. This wire traces back to the solenoid and then goes into the dash through a 7 pin plug connector. There's a green w/red stripe going to the "S" and there's a white wire going to the "F"
