    Electric fan in your classic?

    Where it is true that copper dissipates heat better than alum. When it comes to radiators that does not hold true. It has to do with all the lead used to hold them together, it creates dead spots. Then there is the strength issue. Alum rads are far stronger, thats why they use 2 rows instead...

    Best shock absorber for the dollar?

    I have tried Koni's KYB and KYB GR2s. It all depends on how you have the car set up and what you want. I went soft on the spring rate and used the shock to stiffen it up a bit(KYB Gas) and it seems to be the perfect balance for a daily driver. Now if you already have high rate springs in the...

    Remove Side Scoops or Buy Tires/Wheels?

    If you are restomoding the car then do what ever makes you the happiest (my vote is to keep the side scoops and add a hood scoop). If restoration is in the picture then loose them

    67 vertible "North American"

    There is a guy up here in a MN that has a 65 Mustang station wagon. It is one of a few concept cars built by ford but never released for production. He has all the documentation to prove its real so who knows what else might show up. I would go in with my eyes wide open though because it...

    302 Motor Mount Question

    I will repeat my first line again. The block is the same in all years. Thats not his question. If he has the motor mounts that were on the 302 that was in his car, then he needs nothing. If he has to buy motor mounts, then good luck because he is missing the middle steel mounts. He asked if...

    Electric fan in your classic?

    If it were me, I would just get a good alum rad made to fit your car ( I use a Northern) and add the largest electric fan that will fit as a puller, with a thermostic control and your done. None of this hacking up your car to make somthing fit that was never ment to be. The stock 65-66 rad in...

    302 Motor Mount Question

    The block is the same on all years. The differents is the frame mounts in the car, not the motor. The frame mounts dictate what motor mounts you have to use. The 65 year cars have a 3 piece mounting system. 1.) the motor mount 2.) a middle steel mount 3.) and a cast iron frame mounts. The 66...

    302 Motor Mount Question

    Your 66 has 65 frame mounts in it. It will require 65 upper and lower motor mounts. The upper mount bolts to the block and then the lower mount has a hole in it that bolts to the upper mount. There is a stud hanging out the bottom of the lower mount that goes into the hole in the cast iron...

    Anybody have Edelbrock 500 cfm carb?

    I am having a autolite 4100 1.08 rebuilt at pony carbs. Should have it back next week. My motor is about the same as yours and currently the carb I have is not working correctly. If I am to believe all the propaganda from Pony Carbs, this should be the best thing since sliced bread. I will...

    What would it take to run 12.8xx?

    Before I built the current 347, I had a 289 in a 66 coup that ran 12.84. The motor was very mild with dead stock 289 heads, crower solid cam .512 lift [email protected], F4B edelbrock, 650 DP Holley and long tube 1.5 primary headers. The trick was the drive train The car ran 14.8's with stock 2.8 rear...

    Need some ideas on headlight bucket repair

    Do a search on ebay. You will find a guy that made a mold for some die cast parts thet get JB welded on and it fixes the problem better than new. No repaint needed either. I bought them first time I saw them. They are a bit of work to install but are good quality

    Aluminum radiator options?

    Northern does not sell direct to the consumer. You have to get it from Summit or MustangsPlus or a few other dealers

    Clutch Chatter... So Now What???

    Check the Z bar bushings at the block and where it bolts to the frame. If the nylon bushings have any slop in them, it will cause chatter. Also look at the Z bar it self and make sure that its not cracked or bending. I also had the rear end get a little loose after installing some traction...

    Carburetor or Timing?

    I would rather buy a ratty looking carb used than one that looks like new. A new looking "used carb" normaly has been a problem for someone else and he is just unloading it on some other sucker

    Drive Train Experts, T-3550 vs T-5

    I have did a lot of research and decided to go with a T5z just to avoid fit issues. I spoke with Bruce at Modern Driveline. he confirmed that anything but a T5 will give you some fitment issues in a 65-66. Not that it can't be done but the fit and drive line angle is so much easier to maintain...

    Aluminum radiator options?

    Just get a Northern. They have been making alum rad for Mustangs for years now. I have a 65 stang with a 347 400+ hp and it cools just fine. Just be sure to have a good fan. They are using a newer method to manufacture these that actual makes them stronger and cool better than some of the...

    8 inch axle seal replacement

    A little "old timer" trick to get the seal out without a puller is to use the axel you just removed. Just use the splined end as a pry bar, stick it through the seal at an angle and pry it out. The axle is inside the the seal so no danger of gouging the housing. The biggest trick to changing...
