    Fuel Tank Sending Unit

    Hi, If you add your location, it would be easier to recommend a vendor nearby, to save you turn-around time. Most all of the mustang vendors carry as good a quality as the other. Most all of them are, most likely, coming from an offshore mfg. Good Luck

    Starter Hardware Size

    Hi, I agree with the others, get the correct bolts. However, I know you can't wait to fire it up and get going. So, buy grade "8" bolts and use star washers. I haven't seen mine in a long time, but the size should not be hard to determine. Good Luck!

    New to site.... starting resto

    Hi, You have a nice example to play with. Offhand, I'd start with replacing that "lame" Stant brand rad cap with an OEM correct cap. Good Luck!

    new project

    Hi, The size of the pain, is relative your skill sets and tools on_hand. When I did my resto, much of it included what you mention and more. A "professional" shop wanted $15K. I purchased $2k in appropriate tools and did the work myself, however, it did take 5-6 years. In the end, I only sub'ed...

    225/60R15 on a '65 vert?

    Hi, Where did you get the 3.5 B/S number? This does not sound correct. I'm running 225X60X15 on 4.25 X 7" with great success.

    Radiators and cooling problems my observations

    OK. Adding a coolant recovery system will increase the coolant volume. This will come via the coolant system "burping" that 1/2' layer of air and replacing it with coolant. I don't say this is the "end-all", but, it does insure the coolant system is at max volume. Continued good luck!

    Interesting Problem

    Hi Well, I guess it's a matter of digging through the ckt(s) to see how the two are related. Did the PO add the Painless wiring? Perhaps, you can contact them for a diagram. Good Luck!

    Radiators and cooling problems my observations

    Hi, Enlight of your ambient temps of 100+, I don't regard the 200 deg as a problem. I do think you should drop that tranny cooler down, as to not add to the heated air stream. Yes, having a condenser in front, as well, adds to your incoming heat. But, this is the price to pay for AC. Are you...

    Checking Pushrod Length

    Hi, I don't claim to be any kind of a great builder, only that I've managed to survived the rigors of road racing where endurance is key, not straight line flash. What you bring to the table is a re-enforcement of how important it is, and how intricate this often over looked, yet important...

    Checking Pushrod Length

    Hi, I'm running a very successful build, that I assembled myself. I used checking springs, adjustable P/Rs with the lifters (link bar hydraulics) I was going to run. I've followed the recommendations of having a centered pattern with a width of about .070. This worked for me. It is important to...

    Hagerty Insurance?

    Hi From perspective, I looked at the fact my DD (daily driver) Ins. company would not, within reason, insure my classic to my satisfaction. So, I looked at classic insurers as this is where their expertise lies. Thus, they got my money. IMHO, Allstate, Statewide, Progressive, etc are not...
