    Brake line Question

    What are you working on? The devil is in the details. What year car are you working on? (BTW, a drum brake car does NOT have a proportioning valve.) SD

    Getting the most out of Drum Brakes

    Simple but effective ideas Remember that MANY old Mustangs often have sticking, frozen or leaking wheel cylinders and brake drums that have been turned beyond tolerances. Often the rear brakes are not given the attention they deserve. Fresh wheel cylinders and properly sized drums may, in...

    A "SuperDave" fly-by!

    Good to see so MANY of you who ewmwmber me! Although my health is now much improved, the realities of age ARE creeping up on me. My love of tools and Mustangs will likely last as long as I do. My 'ol 64 1/2 'vert is a "time machine" that transports me to an earlier time when life and the...

    A "SuperDave" fly-by!

    C'mon boys! I didn't mean to stir up old resentments; I just wanted to wish you the best for the holidays. I TO have my detractors but they have faded into cyberspace and I'm still here still building up my post count! :nice: BTW, I'm 68 and still vertical! That in itself is an...

    A "SuperDave" fly-by!

    I see that I have some COMPETITION! Hungry Monkey! You're closing on my post count! I'm not worried though because I've been away from the board for some time. Good to see some of the old gang that are still here. The board seems to be much more congenial than it was when I left. The...

    A "SuperDave" fly-by!

    Doing fine! I stopped by to see if any of the other "old timers" still frequented the board. GAWD the hours I used to spend here! The forum has changed format but I still managed to get my fossilized brain to make it work. I still have my vision problem from my stroke and that is not...

    A "SuperDave" fly-by!

    As the self-proclaimed "King of Posters", I'm checking in to wish all a happy holiday season. Yes, I still have my "stock as a rock" 64 1/2 convertible which is safely tucked away in my garage during the cold weather. I showed the car last summer and enjoyed meeting those new to the Mustang...

    Selling my car,What is it worth?

    The ultimate TRUTH is: What your car is "worth" depends on how long you are willing to wait and what exposure that you give it in the market. The BUYER alone will determine the price at which the car actually sells. Your car sound desireable/marketable but without actually seeing it, any...

    Newbie..I need engine swap advice..

    Reality can be cruel Take a deep breath and consider how many THOUSANDS of dollars you are willing to commit to this project. It is a comparatively doable swap but I wouldn't dismiss the existing problems of an old car. You should also consider the expense of hiring GOOD work done. Many...

    Headlights blink on and off

    Cheapie! Yeah, dropped in before going on a fishing trip. Waiting for my buddy to arrive. The Mustang is doing well and has placed in several shows this summer. Not bad for a car that was done TWENTY FIVE years ago! The "timeless wisdoms" flourish! This forum hasn't changed much over...

    Headlights blink on and off

    Also consider: Agree with the above but would NOT overlook the possibility that the lights are not GROUNDED properly. I would check that first.

    '66: Speedometer not accurate...

    Modification effect speedo Any changes from stock WILL effect the accuracy of the speedo. (Actually, they weren't terribly accurate in the beginning.) Changes in tire diameter, differential gearing, transmission drive and driven gears, etc. will definitely throw the speedo off. You can...

    1966 Mustang Fastback, 514 cubic inch engine? How too!?

    A better question is WHY drop a monster motor in an early Mustang? Unless you spend some HUGE dollars on preparation, the car simply isn't going to hold up to the torque that such a beast will generate. Such a project would be outrageously expensive even if you were capable of doing the...

    Improving brakes

    Your driving style and budget Are two important considerations. Only YOU know these and you should choose accordingly. My car (which see) is driven conservatively and the DRUM brakes suit me fine. With normal maintenace, I've never been concerned about them. For agressive driving, discs...

    Need 65 coupe windows

    Be careful... Good, unscratched windows are HARD to find. I'd PERSONALLY examine any window before buying it. Even if you have to pay more initialy, you'll be getting what you want.

    real nasty knock/rattle.... help please

    The WHOLE story please You will best learn the source of your "noise" by thinking from the present to the past. The car did NOT develop this noise mysteriously on it's own. Rather than tell you an answer, YOU should discover it from thinking through the sequence of events between the last...

    When is a timing chain in need of replacement?

    Perhaps we can meet in the middle on this. The method that I ("mine" or not) propose allows the chain and gear set to be checked WITHOUT removal of engine components. This was the point of MY thread. Zookeeper's suggestion requires digging into the engine to visually examine the timing...

    When is a timing chain in need of replacement?

    Zookeeper: I though we could be civil about this BUT I asked to have a description of way to check the chain and gears WITHOUT diassembling anything. Your method involves REMOVING THE chain and then visually checking the links themselves. How is that simpler than "my" method? Hmmmm? I...

    When is a timing chain in need of replacement?

    Good. I explained it in similar terms here several times hence I consider it to be "mine"; not that I own it but that I practice it even in doing simple "tune-up" work. I know that this is often overlooked and it is often NOT understood by many. :sleep: :sleep: Seems so basic. Glad...
