    For Sale 1975 Silver Luxury Edition Ghia--original Owner

    One owner 1975 Silver Luxury Edition Ghia. Cranberry interior. Purchased new in Texas and driven only in Texas and Oregon which means no salt/no rust. Time to let it go. I am 70 with bad hip and knee, getting in and out is a chore and the clutch isn't easy on me either. Definitely not a...

    1975 Mii Power Steering Rack

    No, not the belt. No squeal and plenty tight. I figured out why it turns so much harder. The OEM rack was a 3.3 turn stop to stop. This one is 2.7 stop to stop. More direct, more resistance. Probably a performance rack.

    1975 Mii Power Steering Rack

    I am original owner of 1975 Mustang II Silver Ghia. I did a total rebuild 3 or 4 years ago.. I did a seal replace on the power rack since it was leaking. I know, it started leaking again in a few months. I took it to a shop who put in a newly rebuilt unit. Original was a three bolt but could...

    1974 Ghia dies on acceleration

    Possible causes: 1: Old Gas, drain tank and clean 2: Plugged fuel filter, replace 3: Crap in carb, clean out bowl and jets. Since it is hard to start and sat I would definitely drain the tank and put in fresh fuel.

    V-6 starter '76 mustangII

    75 Starter This url gives the specs for 1975 Mustang II Network - 1975 Mustang MVMA - Electrical - Supply System Looks like the original Ford P/N is D4ZF-11001-AA for the 302. That being said, you may just have a simple problem. You say the starter just spins. This may be due to the...

    V-6 starter '76 mustangII

    75 or 76 started You originally asked for the starter for a 1976 2.8 V6 manual transmission. I responded with the Car Quest number for a 1975 2.8 with 4 speed manual. I believe they should be the same. I purchased my 75 new in 1975 and no modifications were made. I did a total rebuild 3...

    Any hidden trick when installing new Fuel Pump?

    The last fuel pump I replaced was during a rebuild of my 75 that had set for several years. Before I pulled the engine I tried to start it, no fuel getting to carb. I thought I had a plugged fuel line and put compressed air in at the tank end. Dumb!!! That resulted in blowing out the...

    Any hidden trick when installing new Fuel Pump?

    I would check out the other possibilities. Float sticking, plugged line or filter, etc. I assume this is the standard mechanical fuel pump.

    Strong Gas Odor after driving

    Never found a replacement canister but guess I do not need it. The problem seems to have disappeared. Have no idea why but suspect it had something to do with the carb. It was not idling quite right so I opened the idle jet a little to fix that. Since then no gas smell.

    Strong Gas Odor after driving

    My 1975 Ghia emits a very strong gas odor after driving. It dissipates in about and hour and no odor after that. Checked for leaks around carb, fuel lines etc. and found nothing. Suspect the carbon canister since it has never been replaced (original owner). Anyone know where I can get a...

    High Speed Vibration Noise

    I am sure you have thought of this but if this started after the tires were installed I would go back and have them checked. One may be out of balance or defective.

    High Speed Vibration Noise

    How old are the tires? I had the same thing and one of the tires had a spot where the tread was separated from the casing. It had sat for several years in a garage and the tires looked good at first glance.

    Tow Bar

    In 1979 when I moved from Texas to Oregon I had a tow bar built specifically to tow my 1975 Ghia. I have been cleaning out my shop and just found it. You remove the front bumper with struts and it bolts directly to the mounting holes in the frame. Anyone close to Oregon interested. It cost...

    Couple of electrical questions

    Regulator Type & BTW I replaced the mechanical type that was installed with a new electronic model. By the Way, several months ago I posted a problem about my Tach which I also thought may be a ground issue. If I turned on my heater/AC blower while driving the tach indication would change...
