    300hp 289?

    Get a an aluminum intake preferably a Performer RPM or the Ford manifold that it copies. Then a hotter cam. Also a bigger carb might help. Ford did make a 600cfm version as well. If you can clean up the valve pockets/bowls in the heads and a port match, that will get to your goal. Joe Sherman...

    Should I get Cherry Bombs?

    My Pappy told me back in the fifties they would run a steel pack on one side and a glass pack on the other. The engine would make two distinct sounds when winding up and winding down.

    anyone install their own headliner?

    The factory manual states to install it by stuffing/shoving it under he weather sttrip. What gives? I've been thinking about doing my headliner but I dread removing and installing the back window. It seems it would be pretty heavy.

    Anyone use ES12a or other hydrocarbon based refrigerants?

    Thanks I have done research as well prior to posting on this forum. I was wondering how this stuff actually performed. I checked the oil level in my compressor (Ford label attached) and it seems it is below spec. I've tried to find Suniso 5 and Capella E online and haven't found much to my use...

    Fork on the road (manual or power)??

    Well having driven several cars with and without power steering (75 Mustang II Ghia R&P, 64 Falcon 22:1, & 66 GT Mustang 16:1.) I would say go for the power steering. Its not so bad on the road w/o it but when it comes time to park or move around in the driveway you'll be glad you had it...

    Anyone use ES12a or other hydrocarbon based refrigerants?

    I have all the pieces to put the A/C back together and plan on using ES12a. The company claims that it is slightly colder than R12. Also I will need to add oil to the compressor. Can I do this w/ a can that fills like the refrigerant? I have been told that most refrigerants already have the oil...

    E85 Questions

    Great info, just as I thought. But I did forget about the rubber hoses. I do want to crank up my timing as well. How much is E85 goin for a gallon? I do now gasoline has more power per "drop" over alcohol so I reckon I will go from 7mpg to 5 or worse.:rlaugh:

    E85 Questions

    Can E85 be used in an old school engine? Would I need to run bigger jets. I've been told that is all you need to change to run ethanol. I've also been told you need at least 10:1 compression (I've got between 10.5 to 11:1). Or will the etanol eat away at the rubber components in the fuel system...

    1966 Mustang

    About ten years ago a guy built a set up out of cobbled together parts and put in a late 80s Thunderbird. You could search the forum for the link. He has a journal of all the troubles he encountered and how he overcame them. I would be concerned about the room in the engine compartment. I would...

    Rebuilt control valve, too much play in ball stud?

    I thought so! I reckoned it was the shop! Next time somebody makes a statement like that ask them how much experience they have working on classic cars.

    1966 hang on a/c wiring diagram.

    Rebuilt control valve, too much play in ball stud?

    Adjustment. You might try adjusting the nut at the end of the control valve. Snug it up then back off a 1/4 turn. This the spool valve centering adjustment. I know I had difficulty snuging up the spool valve when I installed it. I also have some play. The manual for a 66 calls for .060 play in...

    MustangII in my area.

    Well, it looks like the MustangII that I saw is now sold or the owner decided to get it running and is driving it. I thought someone might've been interested.

    MustangII in my area.

    There's a Mustang II in my area. I think it may be a Ghia but I have no Idea whats in it. It seems like it hasn't moved. I would make an offer but I have my 66. I had owned a 75 Ghia coupe (302) and loved that car, I remember it handling much better than my 66 GT. If anyone is interested send...

    Not getting 12volts from ignition switch

    What voltage are you getting? Is the wire a resistor wire of sorts?Most important do you have a multimeter? You can find 'em at almost any auto parts store for around 25 bucks or less. Also one of those continuity tester lights would be helpful. Also check for a bad ground. I had put the battery...

    water pump?

    Did you replace/put the spring in the bottom radiator hose? If you did is it positioned in the hose to where it won't get sucked flat anywhere. As far as the white smoke it may be head gaskets. One way to check is to take off the radiator cap, start the engine and get it to operating...

    HiPo 289 Hot start problem

    I agree w/ bnickle, I had a similar problem and put an insulator gasket set on and that fixed my problem. The type I used wa a set of gaskets and aluminum plates that I bought at the local auto parts store.
