    bright red

    I always liked the Jalapeno Red that Ford used on the '86 Mustang (especially the SVO). Not too orange. Of course, it's tough to go wrong with Porsche Guards Red (just be sure the paint dealer doesn't accidentally mix the Porsche India Red by mistake - that one *is* more orange). I've seen...

    1969 mustang won't start, and backfires

    Check the Unilite module in that distributor - I think there are diagnostic instructions on the Mallory / Mr. Gasket website. IIRC, the Unilite design is sensitive to stuff like voltage spikes and poor grounds.

    No more spitting fluid out the dipstick?

    3g alternator install... walk through?

    Well, the shaft on the 1G alternator is longer - the external fan has to fit there. I've never compared the shaft diameters of the two styles, but I'd venture a guess that the 3G is a metric size. Are you staying with v-belts? If so, look at the March 4" 1V pulley for the 3G alternator -...

    Borgeson steering with Shelby Pitman arm ?

    Right, you just get fewer turns from lock-to-lock - just as when using the Shelby parts with the original manual steering box.

    Borgeson steering with Shelby Pitman arm ?

    Check the Vendor Sponsor Forum here, there's a thread titled "New Mustang Steering Product" - you can put that question directly to Borgeson. They're on Facebook, too. Since this box is adapted from an Isuzu Trooper unit (IIRC) and was originally set up with a larger sector shaft, I suspect...

    Integrated power steering isuzu pitman arm

    The integral power steering boxes are designed for use with manual steering center links and related parts.

    Integrated power steering isuzu pitman arm

    I think the Trooper box is the basis of the conversion boxes offered by both Borgeson and ABS Power Brake. I've got one of the Borgeson units - they machine down the sector shaft to fit the Mustang pitman arms. ABS, I think, will modify your Mustang pitman arm to fit the Isuzu sector shaft...

    Speedhut Gauges/Tachs???

    That's the same bezel I've got (except mine has the "chrome" outer rim) and the same speedo and tach. I've been debating the utility of the smaller programmable gauges. Any difficulty in programming for low fuel warning and so on?

    AC/Heater Box Refurb??

    "Goo Gone" is supposed to be safe for use on fiberglass (I wouldn't use a heavy coat or let it soak too long, though). Gentle heat from a hair dryer might help soften the adhesive, too. I guess the type of adhesive used on the new seals would depend on the seal material - the 3M general...

    AC Lines

    If you're running the hoses on the driver's side of the engine, use the factory oval-shaped knockout plate. Just whack it with a hammer and drift punch, it'll open right up. Classic Mustang Tech Article- How To Install a Concours '65-'66 A/C System

    Adding power brakes and steering

    On the power steering side of the project, your dad has a choice between power rack & pinion steering kits and the Borgeson integral power steering box. You can search this forum for information on both.

    Pulleys and Brackets

    What accessories did you plan on running - A/C? Power Steering? Or just the bare bones alternator and water pump? Which March parts are you looking at?

    Pulleys and Brackets

    That circled part is the A/C belt upper idler pulley (Ford added a second idler, just below the compressor and above the PS pump). My 65 289 with A/C and power steering has a 3-sheave crankshaft pulley. The sheave closest to the engine is the alternator belt, the middle sheave is for the power...

    Edelbrock heads engine overheating steam vent question

    The "steam holes" are misnamed; all they do is allow trapped air to be purged from the uppermost portion of the block's cooling jacket. They are not large enough to disrupt the primary flow of coolant. Aluminum heads conduct heat away from the combustion chambers more rapidly than cast...

    302 overheats. incorrect water pump?

    The part number points to a Mustang II-era application, before reverse rotation pumps were utilized. Also, did you install it like that, with an open back? Most FSB water pumps after '65 have a backing plate that covers the impeller. Early open-back pumps fit timing covers that are specific...
