    Leaky drum rear brakes

    It has been my experience that the seal on the Ford 8" rear end is on the other side of the wheel bearing. Even if there was a grove in the axle, you should not have any oil getting past the bearing unless it leaked past the seal first.

    Leaky drum rear brakes

    Pretty simple to check for a leaking wheel cylinder. Simply grab the end of one of the rubber caps on the wheel cylinder and pull it away from the cylinder. If fluid leaks out the cylinder is leaking. Check both ends. If you do decide to remove the axle to replace the seal, It has been my...

    cylinder heads for daily driver - kinda long -sorry

    Fuel economy What about a set of 260 heads. If I read the post correctly, the numbers are 1650 and 4000 rpm's. We're not talking about max hp and max performance are we?. Small ports = higher port velocity at 1650 rpms. Open up the exhaust ports some to improve exhaust flow. Otherwise, leave...

    T5 conversion question

    95 T5 If you use the 95 bellhousing, the shifter will not come up through the original hole in the floorboard, and the rear transmission support may be harder to convert. . My opinion is that you need to change out the T5 main drive gear with a 93 or below and get an earlier bellhousing. You...

    Smoothed Cowl

    It seems to me that I drilled out about 114 spot welds to remove my cowl. Yes, it was not too difficult, but it sure took some time to do. Especially welding 114 plug welds to replace it. I'm not too fast, and I had other repairs on the firewall to do as well. In all, I spent the better part of...

    Lizard Skin (maybe?)

    Microspheres They are made of ceramic material. They are so tiny that they will blow away like dust in the wind. You need to use a mask when mixing them in the paint medium so you do not inhale them. I think that they are mostly used as an insulator, but the manufacturer has a sound deadner...

    Lizard Skin (maybe?)

    I wanted to create a sound deadener and insulating layer for my 65 Mustang, so I created my own insulating paint by mixing microspheres with latex paint (similar to Lizard Skin) I put it on pretty thick, so it took a while to cure completely. I am very satisfied with it except you can scrape it...

    Calling all Body Guys - Quarter Panel Fitment

    Fitment Harbor Freight sells an air powered offset tool that puts a 1/2 inch wide offset in the original metal so when you lay the new metal into the offset it will fit flush with the original metal instead of laying on top of it. It will take a little while to work around the opening where you...

    Really Really need help with car not starting

    Checking the spark by hooking the plug wire to the plug and grounding the plug against the block will only prove that your spark will jump the gap on the plug. You should use the coil wire against the block to get a better feel for how much voltage is coming from the coil. The spark should jump...

    Really Really need help with car not starting

    Wont start Sounds like you are almost there. Just because the rotor is pointing at No. 1 doesn't mean that the spark is firing when it should. To check it out, hook up your timing light, point it at the balancer, and crank the engine. Note the position of the timing mark in reference to the...

    66 coupe electrical issues

    My next thing to do would be to bench test the new starter. I would do this by first removing the starter, then take out the battery. You can bolt the ground cable to the one of the starter housing bolt holes, or clamp it to the starter with Vise Grip pliars. Attach the "pos" cable to the "bat"...

    66 coupe electrical issues

    After thinking about it some more, the easiest way to hook it all up is to leave all of the wires on the original solenoid in place, with the original starter cable attached to the "bat" terminal of the new starter. Then install a small jumper wire from the "bat" terminal of the new starter to...

    66 coupe electrical issues

    I have a similar setup aftermarket starter with a built in solenoid on my 65. All I did was take the cable off the starter side of the original solenoid and move it to the battery side. I then attached a new 14 AWG wire from the starter side of the original solenoid down to the small terminal of...

    1967 coupe steering issues

    My son had a similar problem with his 66 coupe. The problem was that the steering was not centered. To correct the issue, we jacked the front wheels off the ground. Next, we turned the steering wheel all the way to the right and then back to the left and counted the number of turns. We then...

    3650 Transmission support

    I have a 65 Mustang shell that is mostly rust free, and a rusty 65 donor car with no engine or transmission. I plan to install a 4.6 and 3650 transmission in the shell. There is some rust through under the passenger seat support so I will be removing it to repair the rust. Since I will have to...
