    Clutch brake pedal problems 1965 Mustang

    Bushing or worn pedal support bracket. Might be time to invest in a roller bearing kit for it.

    Oil Pressure Gauge swap

    One side of the 66 gauge comes directly from the sending unit. It basically is a "floating" ground, with the ground being the supplied by the unit being bolted to the block. The other side is a voltage that is to be supplied from the little regulator found on the back side of the gauge...

    Brakes Brake pedal rising

    There is a clutch pedal stop that is bolted to the clutch/brake pedal support bracket under the dash. The clutch pedal makes physical contact with it in the upward position. It could be loose or not even there. Also I have seen where the bushings of the pedal support have worn to the point...

    over heating on 1966 mustang

    When the motor was rebuilt were the head gaskets installed in the proper orientation? One side of each is/(should be) marked "Front" which means their coolant passages should be located at the rear of the block.

    Identifying odd port on 289 intake manifold

    That manifold came with a special spacer, which IIRC, had an EGR valve attached for emission purposes. It may have been just to heat under the carb. The spacer would be approximately 3/4 to 1" thick and it will be needed unless you locate/build some type of block off plate. You may even want...

    Exhaust Headers for '65-'70 Mustangs...

    As usual, you are spot on George. The original 1 3/4" headers you had built for me and my 351W in a 65' almost 20 years ago fit "OK"--once I finally got them in place. They were a little self clearancing on the shock towers but that was minor and I was happy that they were in place. I've...

    65 289 bent pushrod

    Possibly a bent valve too. Do a leakdown or compression check before trying to start the car again. You realIy didn't give anyone enough info about your motor to make a good diagnosis. Is this a performance built engine with aftermarket parts or a stock part build? Tell us about the parts in...

    Z-bar clutch pedal without underdash spring?

    The purpose of the underdash spring is to lessen the effort for the driver when pushing the clutch. It is not there to pull the fork back. You can remove it if you want and some aftermarket clutch kits manufacturers suggest doing it (with their clutch.) Just be careful as the spring is under...

    Nicks fast back conversion

    I swear that yours are my most favorite ongoing threads on the internet. Your talents just amaze me. Is the metal shown above in this underbrace for the hinges and hood latch alreaded "embedded" in the frame? Are they predrilled at all or is all drilling of the frame and metal done after...

    Paint and Body New project ,hood for 69 -70 Mustang

    This thread is awesome! Wish I had your fiberglass skills as you make all this look way too easy. Your years of hard earned experience certainly show in all the photos that you have shared with us over the years. You are a true craftsman of the reproduction trade. :cheers:

    Paint and Body New project ,hood for 69 -70 Mustang

    I love this thread. Excellent work! Curious on how you will be able to release the hood (steel or fiberglass) from the mold when it has the contours of the inner part of the scoops? :scratch: :pop:

    Grafting 67/68 Shock Towers To 65/66 Mustang

    Thank You! As an update, there has been zero issues with the front suspension since the last write up. Only a handful of people notice the shock tower change but the work has impressed all that have asked about the mod. It has never been so easy to change spark plugs on a Windsor in an early...

    Paint and Body New project ,hood for 69 -70 Mustang

    That looks like a pretty ambitious project--not that you haven't taken on such things before. :) I'll be following along and am anxious to see how you tweak and crimp the skin to the frame (and of course all that you do in order to get to that point.) Good Luck!

    Automatic to Manual transmission
