    Fmx Leaky Tranny Question

    First make sure it is transmission fluid that you are dealing with. The rear main seal of the engine can leak into the bellhousing too. The converter is probably fine as they are a sealed metal unit. There really isn't anything you can replace on it anyways. It could be the front shaft seal...

    Crane's 1968 Mustang Restomod

    I'm always afraid of messing up the fresh paint when installing the front and rear window moldings so I remove the glass, prep and paint the channels, reinstall the windows/trim, then carefully tape the trim prior to spraying the car. This also allows me to apply sealant around the rubber with...

    289 Kaput - Next Steps Advice From This Great Forum

    A vacuum leak that affects the suspect cylinders can cause a similar issue, as will weak valve springs. Either will give good static compression on a tester but poor cylinder firing when running. Those old Sun machines can give an experienced operator a wealth of information on cylinder...

    Drivetrain T5 Flywheel

    The 164 tooth flywheel has a larger diameter that the 157 tooth flywheel. The 164 tooth flywheel will not fit in the T5 bellhousing.

    Engine Flex Plate

    I was referring specifically to a change in manufacturing when the original 302 became the 5.0 AND the T5 was first used. The old 302 no longer existed when the T5 came out. The flywheels/flexplates are weighted differently for the 2 motors. What was originally known as the Ford 302 began in...

    Manual Fuel Pump Vs Electric

    That is what I was hoping. Just wasn't apparent in the photo. Thanks.

    Manual Fuel Pump Vs Electric

    Cool idea Andrew, but did they really neck down the return to 3/8" once it gets into the tank? I used some 1/2" steel tubing and did something very similar.

    Engine Flex Plate

    Correct, the weight is motor related and the flywheel must match. All 351w's (any year) are 28 oz imbalance. The 5.0's were all 50 oz. Old 302's were 28 oz, but not really designed for a T5. The T5 probably uses a 157 tooth flywheel (none were 164). What you need is available through the...

    Wheels-Tires Magnum 500 On A 65 Coupe

    Good point. The originals won't due to the smaller center hub but the later 14's ones will since they were an option on the Granada. Supposedly aftermarket Magnums use the larger center hub too.

    Wheels-Tires Magnum 500 On A 65 Coupe

    The factory 14x5 Magnum 500 rims fit fine on the front my 65 and a 66 I used to own.

    66 Rear Brake Line Bracket Measurement

    Looks like it had dual exhaust so the location may be dictated by that? Does the floor pan have an additional support area on the inside?

    12" Rotor On 64 1/2-73 Mustangs And Similar V8 Spindle

    My comment was to Isky. The parts vendor was trying to sell you parts that are absolutely not needed. Factory 65-57 KH disks on an early V8 Mustang is a very easy swap. No special machining or techniques needed. The parts are a simple bolt-on off a donor. The 67 hoses are different where...

    12" Rotor On 64 1/2-73 Mustangs And Similar V8 Spindle

    65/66 drum or disc spindles are the same. The 65-67 rotor discs bolt right on the drum spindles and the 65-67Ford caliper adapters/dust shields do too. No mods needed.

    Inner Trunk Bracket?

    Probably for the chrome bumperettes found on non-GT models.

    Compression Problems?

    I've found some very weak valve spring on the 200ci motors that I have had throughout the years. Some have allowed the compression to drop to next to nothing. You could literally compress them with your hands. The springs are cheap to replace if you have an overhead tool and a few feet of...

    Front Wheels Too Far Forward

    Correct, but they are available through the aftermarket which is why I mentioned them in my post.

    Front Wheels Too Far Forward

    Does the car have adjustable strut rods? With them the wheel is moved forward to induce more caster.
