    1966 'stang been stored for 20 years

    First thing I would do is drain and change that oil and filter. Second, take out all the plugs and add some lubricant into each cylinder, I'd research more on what to put in first to loosen anything stuck as well (seafoam?). Drain/syphon any old gas out first before the new gas. Unhook that...

    Turn Signals dead

    Try replacing this first: Its right under dash near steering column. Then start checking ground connections (trunk ones are easily accessable) Good luck, I have similar problems.

    Car started to shutter on highway...

    Think it may be rear axle, jacked it up, put in drive and can hear something loose metal against metal like a "ding, ding ding" periodically. Hard to tell where noise is originating from though because it goes right thru the drive shaft like an echo. Car's for sale now if anyone wants a...

    Car started to shutter on highway...

    Yes, my brother took a ride w/ me in it yesterday and he said he never heard anything like that before, about 25 mph the car starts to shudder and vibrate like somethings way out of balance, not sure if its comming from trans though or rear axle. Revved the engine in neutral and ruled that out...

    Car started to shutter on highway...

    68 w/ an I6, was on highway today and car starts a (suttle) shutter and starts slowing, slid it into nuetral and was still doing it. Got worse as I tried to pick up speed again. Nursed it home on a side road but get up around 25-30 and it starts again. Axle has about 1" of play when turning...

    Water hammer? Or what is it?

    You might want to read BTJUSTICE's posts on this link and loose that Prestone in a hurry, its a Dex-Cool clone. GM just lost a lawsuit over it in Cali. on 3/20/08 and has to pay out. Mostly this stuff eats nylon/silicone gaskets which GM used in a lot of their vehicles, but not all. If you...

    Here's a good post on timing from a vette forum, C3s (68-82) I've seen similar posts here, just have to do a search, a dial back light is recommended and get all your advance in by 2,500- 3,000 PRM, @36 degrees, I believe the prior posts here were that same recommendation:shrug...

    Water hammer? Or what is it?

    Pull out the stat again, drop 2 aspirins under the stat in the block and reinstall, its most likely air trapped and I heard stat won't open w/ the air trapped under it and it will make that noise. Just read about the same problem on a vette forum and this was the solution recommended to get the...

    Power Steering woes

    Your lines sound like they are correct, here's a pic of mine for a refference to use. If you do play around and switch them on the CV remember what bnickel said, that steering wheel will go crazy and will snap your arm w/ no problem. You could have air in the system that needs to work itself...

    shipping a vehicle

    Fed Ex ships cars from what I've found out recently on a vette forum. Not sure though if they would take it w/ no drive train but they said the price was fair. I doubt shipping that distance is gonna be cheap, are you sure you can't find a similar deal closer? If I can locate that post on...
