    Edelbrock vs Holley

    I put a slightly used Holley 4 barrel on my 66 about 5 years ago and could never get it tuned right. I later found out that is was only because I'm an idiot. I found a shop where one of the guys used to be a tech for Holley and said that his family and Vic Edelbrocks family were close friends...

    Hanging 65/ 66 GT exhausts on a non GT body

    I'd like to put the GT style exhaust on my car with the rear valance where the exhaust trumpets go through. I've got dual exhausts already, but from what I understand, non-GT cars didn't have the brackets welded into the frame to hang the exhaust from. Has anyone had any experience installing...

    I need a windshield for a 66 convertible, are they still made?

    I've looked through about six different mustang catalogs and I've called several different glass places. Finally stumbled upon a glass guy that actually owns a 66 stang and said he thinks he can get me one without the disco tint. I'm going to spend some time today surfing some of the other...

    I need a windshield for a 66 convertible, are they still made?

    I had the wonderful pleasure of taking a rock to my windshield and am now in need of new glass. I've been calling on a few glass companies and all they claim to be able to get is the windshield with the tinting at the top edge. Since 1) that doesn't have a stock look, and 2) I'm 6'4" and...

    My experience with front disc brake conversion (discbrakeswap.com)

    Good work - I just received the swap1 kit in the mail and will be tackling it when the Northern California weather turns (you know, January or so). How long did it take you to do the install?

    Vote for my front tires...

    I feel your pain. I just picked up a set of 15x7 styled steels for my 66 convertible to replace the 14x5 styled steels I have on there now (front discs are going in). I'd like to put 215 60s all around, which supposedly will fit according to Dodgestangs chart, but I'm still torn about the idea...

    To inject, or not to inject.. that is the question...

    By "warmed up a little" I mean .. a ... little. Other than the Holley and the new manifold, its been bored over 30 and I put the high output exhaust manifolds on there and went to dual exhausts. Ignition is a Pertronix. If I still had points in there I think I would have torched the car long...

    To inject, or not to inject.. that is the question...

    "I am a firm believer that if Fred Flintstone didn't have feet, he would have had a carb. " That's beautiful.... It's a 66 convertible, slightly warmed, bored over, etc. I put an edelbrock performer manifold and a Holley 650 carb on there about 5 years ago and have never been happy with...

    To inject, or not to inject.. that is the question...

    Have you switched over to fuel injection and now regret it? Like a lot of people, I'm hot on all the new fuel injection options, especially the retrotek powerjection and the Edelbrock system. But.... I was talking to a couple of local mechanics recently that specialize in fuel systems (one...

    But, I Pretended I knew What I was Doing

    years back I put a new top on an early 60s Volkswagen I had. I had the same problem with the saggy back window. Its definitely an art. A top guy told me I could have cured the saggy back window by not leaving the top open about 6 inches or so when affixing the back end of the top. After that...

    Bigger Tires for my 66 - fit question

    Hey guys - just got a new set of 15 x7 styled steel rim with 4.25 inch backspace for my 66 convertible. I've looked at Dodgestangs chart, and it appears that nobody has had any clearance or rubbing issues with this rim and a set of 225 60s. I'd prefer 215s, but BFG doesn't make 215s in a...

    Fog Light Switch - Where do it go?!?!

    I've got a 66 convertible that I will be putting my new fog light kit on. My understanding is that the fog light switch goes in the approximate location of where the convertible top switch is. If thats the case, just where does the switch for the fog lights go?!?!

    Disc Brake Conversion ?

    I've also been toying with the idea of a Rod & Custom setup - funny thing, nobody here seems to know anything about them, good or bad. Give them a call - I did - a complete set with all the bells and whistles will run you about $785. The whole ball of wax - they claim you will have every...

    Its Pony Conversion Time!

    Soon I will be beginning the process of converting my 1966 convertible to a pony interior. The current interior is a 22 code - blue with blue trim. The exterior of the car is a K code nightmist blue. In 1966, the interior pony colors that most closely fit are the blue and white combination...

    C4 won't go into gear

    Hey All, my automatic tranny on my 66 occasionally will not go into gear. It happens just after starting the car. I'll put it into drive or reverse and nothing. My fluid level seems to be ok, and the transmission was rebuilt about 25k miles ago. I'm thinking it might be something in the...

    Rod & Custom Motorsports Disc Breaks

    Has anyone installed the front disc kit from Rod & Custom Motorsports? Seems like the best value in disc brakes and I'm thinking of getting the kit for my 66 convertible. Any input would be helpful.

    Interior Code Help!

    I need help figuring out what color interior items to purchase for my 66 convertible. I have a 66 mustang with interior trim code 22. This is the "blue with blue appointments". Therefore I have the two tone seats (non pony - kind of a light blue and dark blue) with a mix of dark blue and...
