    A/C not running Cold

    I'm trying to get my original A/C working in my 67 mustang. The car was missing some of the A/C parts when I first bought the car so the A/C was never working since I've had it. I bought a rebuilt compressor, receiver/dryer, expansion valve and all new hoses and service valves for a R134...

    Splicing the fuel line

    Scott, Sorry to change the subject but I just noticed that you have a SSB conversion. Did you do it yourself? I'm thinking of doing the same conversion on my 67 too and was trying to find someone that already did it to ask how difficult it was and if there were any problems and how well it...

    Exhaust has a "missing" like sound

    I gapped the new plugs to 0.34 and I also have a Petronix Ignitor module in the stock distributor. I did tighten the bolts on the exhaust manifold but it still makes the sound once in a while. Thanks for your input.

    Exhaust has a "missing" like sound

    I think the wires are on OK. I changed them one at a time so as not to mix them up. Thanks for your input.

    Exhaust has a "missing" like sound

    Jeff, Yes, I do have a stock cam. The car runs fine and the power is OK. I'll research "exhaust scavenging" a little more to find out exactly what it is. Thanks for your input.

    Exhaust has a "missing" like sound

    I have a stock 67' mustang, 289, 4V, C4 with about 10K miles on the rebuilt engine. When the engine is warmed up, running and in park, every so often, the exhaust has a poompf sound, kind of like a miss. It sounds like it's running pretty smoothly and then I hear a poompf sound once. It runs...

    Timing Explanation

    Thanks for the additional info. I'll keep playing with the timing. Hopefully, I'll find a setting that gives me the more "peppy" response that I enjoyed for a brief moment.

    Timing Explanation

    Thanks for the clarification. I know how to set the initial advance (~12degrees @ ~550rpm) w/ the vacuum to the distributor plugged, and I believe that the mechanical advance is adjusted by springs, but I don't know how to adjust the vacuum advance on a stock distributor. What should the...

    Timing Explanation

    I recently converted an Autolite 2100 to an Edlebrock 1406 + Performer intake on a stock 289. I couldn’t get the timing correct initially because the idle was running too fast, even with the idle screw all the way out. But the car ran great. It was a lot more responsive than with the 2V. The...

    Mustang Plus Carpet Kit Is Junk!

    I have a 67 mustang convertible and I bought a new carpet from Mustangs Plus in January of this year and had no problems with the size. I had to trim both the sides and the front to make it fit properly. Maybe the manufacturer label the carpet wrong.
