    how do I find a machine shop do mifify my disc hub?

    I have the Granada front disc conversion kit. The hub is too fat for my 14 inch wheels. I was told to get that hub machined down to fit inside the wheel. I am trying to figure out what I need to google or whatever to find a shop that can do this? I am in Dallas.

    "Paint your car for 50 bucks" I am going to try it.

    Looks great. From the pics, it looks like it matches too.

    I left keys in the ignition overnight with it in the ON position. Now I have an issue

    I am retarded and I should be forced to sell the Mustang and be banned from this forum. Yup, I had it on the wrong plug. I have done this 100 times and for some reason, I put it on the wrong wire... twice. At any rate, the new ignition fixed everything. I just took it for a spin and...

    I left keys in the ignition overnight with it in the ON position. Now I have an issue

    Thank you GNGREN I replaced the accel points eliminator, and the car fired up right away. However, I have a new anomaly. I went to verify my timing and while the engine idles like the timing is dead on, the mark that should be lining up with the indicator when the timing light flashes...

    I left keys in the ignition overnight with it in the ON position. Now I have an issue

    No MSD I ripped out the accel ignition system and went to get another one and for some reason I swear I paid 35 bucks for mine but they were 85 at the store so I hesitated. I will replace it and let you know what the results are. I suspect this is it based on the fact that I am...

    I left keys in the ignition overnight with it in the ON position. Now I have an issue

    OK, I pulled the #1 plug, grounded it to the engine. verified that I was getting power to the plug by putting multimeter pos onto the battery terminal (pos) and the neg to the body of the plug and I got 12 volts. Cranked the engine and got no spark. I am going to replace the distributor...

    I left keys in the ignition overnight with it in the ON position. Now I have an issue

    Ok, I checked the pos terminal and grounded the other lead and got power at the coil. I think the next step is to try the spark plug test to see if there is a spark. If no spark, then I can assume it is the distributor components (ignition module) If there is a spark, then possibly a timing...

    I left keys in the ignition overnight with it in the ON position. Now I have an issue

    OK, here is where I am retarded. What / where is the ignition module? I don't think I have one. I have the key that goes to the ignition switch w/ wires leading to the starter solenoid. that has wires that go to the battery, starter, and coil. Do I have an ignition module? I googled it and...

    I left keys in the ignition overnight with it in the ON position. Now I have an issue

    I separated the threads because I have noticed if I ask 3 questions in a thread, only the last one ever gets answered. I will attempt to re-ask all of my questions. Please be thorough in your response because I am dumb when it comes to this stuff. 1. Fuel pump was replaced. I assume this is...

    I left keys in the ignition overnight with it in the ON position. Now I have an issue

    what is the quickest way to tell if I burnt out the ballast resistor/wire? Should I be able to see it? All my wires look like they are in good shape.

    I left keys in the ignition overnight with it in the ON position. Now I have an issue

    I will try that today. I am not sure I have a ballast resistor/wire. Would I have one if I rewired the car w/ the EZ Wire harness?

    I left keys in the ignition overnight with it in the ON position. Now I have an issue

    No points. I installed some mid grade optical system that uses a beam of light and a disc with notches in it. Don't recall what it was called but works well.

    I left keys in the ignition overnight with it in the ON position. Now I have an issue

    I stupidly left the keys in the ignition overnight with it in the ON position (engine not running of course) First: What can be damaged by doing that? I got the battery recharged and it turns over fine but won't start. 1. I replaced the starter coil but no dice 2. The only fuse I see...

    any tips on replacing my fuel pump?

    I also should note here that I am trying to start the mustang while being jumped by another car. I don;t have a battery charger at the moment. I was hoping to jump it and let it charge by driving. I will check the plugs for a spark this evening. currently 104 degrees outside. I will wait...

    any tips on replacing my fuel pump?

    Damn, I just don't get it. Car ran fine before. All I did was change the fuel pump. I just disconnected the fuel line at the carb and turned the engine over. A fountain of gas shot out of that line so I assume it is pumping correctly. When I pull the throttle linkage, the pipes shoot...

    any tips on replacing my fuel pump?

    So, I replaced the fuel pump, and I cannot get the car to start. My understanding is that it is possible to get it installed incorrectly with that bar under rather than over or whatever. Question: Is it safe to assume that it is installed correctly if I can see the fuel jets spraying fuel...

    any tips on replacing my fuel pump?

    I got a new fuel pump today (cheap mechanical one for $18 at OReilys) Shop manual shows installation and removal but I want to know if I need to prepare in any way. When I unhook the hoses, is gas going to go everywhere? Is this tricky in any way or is it pretty straight forward? Looks...

    "dead spot" at certain RPM

    Anyone here in the Dallas area? Willing to take a ride w/ me and help diagnose the issue? I have a history w/ this car of fixing 6 things before I get to the thing that is actually problematic. I have the ford Manuel for the car and it mentions a couple different things that could be it but I...
