    Hello From Ca With A '68 In Progress

    Nice car and take advantage of any advice you can get from your Dad. I hear you about life getting in the way, in the past 5 years, I've moved twice and don't get as much car time as I'd like. But like you, we all do what we can, when we can and enjoy it as you can. Welcome to Stangnet!

    Hello From Wa 1965 Mustang

    Does your title imply you're from Washington? If so, consider making your way down to Southern Oregon sometime. Lots of good shows in this area and lots of nice people.

    What The Hell Happened To This Forum?

    Woodsnake, I think you bought one of the shifters I made a while back. I still get occasional requests for those, but my present situation doesn't really allow it. Like lots of people on here I changed jobs, changed states, etc and cars got put on the back burner while life happened. Glad to see...

    1968 Mustang Pb Conversion

    Sounds like you have a good head on your shoulders. I agree that sometimes people who you're either helping or doing the work for are content with "close enough" and there's not much you can do or say. A friend of my Dad's built a really nice hot rod a few years ago and used reproduction '39...

    Total Timing Mystery 1969 Mustang 302

    Your vacuum advance needs timed port, otherwise it'll get an erroneous signal if you use manifold vacuum.

    Total Timing Mystery 1969 Mustang 302

    I know "how" it's done, but what I can't figure out is "why" people do it for a street-driven engine.. My brother had a (supposedly) killer 406 ci small block Chevy built by a local engine builder that was a fan of this. Once we got the engine back in the car, it seemed to be a dog at all speeds...

    1968 Mustang Pb Conversion

    Please don't take this the wrong way, but that's how things are sometimes when working on cars. Parts don't always fall into place, sometimes brand new parts fail immediately or require tuning in order to get what you want. I've learned to approach every job on my car with knowing full well it...

    1968 Mustang Pb Conversion

    While that's one way to go, you do realize those switches and/or pushrods are meant to be adjusted right? By either bending the tabs on the switch, or filing the pushrod contact point you can make the lights come on earlier, later or whatever you feel is "just right". EDIT: This is an older...

    1968 Mustang Pb Conversion

    I'm having a little wrapping my head around the problem. Are you having trouble mounting the switch itself or is the problem the brake lights won't come on or go off?

    1968 Fastback Part Id

    I've had my '68 fastback down to nothing and thought I could remember everything, but those don't look like anything I remember. Subscribing to see how this turns out...

    Numbers Matching

    My fastback was a low mileage, one owner, C-code, C4 car with nearly everything original and well cared for. I gave the stock engine to my dad for his street rod and sold the trans for $75 to a friend. My thinking was the car was one of a zillion, there are actually a ton of "numbers matching"...

    My Birth Certificate says I'm 55, however my brain (or what's left of it) think's I'm 18 or so. My body's somewhere in between...

    Aftermarket Steering Wheel With Stock Dish?

    I agree that stock Mustangs lack in the leg room department for manual trans cars. In your case, I'd look into an aftermarket tilt-style column. If you simply got more dish, then the wheel will be in your chest and a smaller wheel obscures the gauges. Just a thought.

    What The Hell Happened To This Forum?

    My personal take on this is that Mustangs (yes even fastbacks) are still well within most hot rodder's budget. In this day of $60,000 diesel pickups and $30,000 pony cars, none of which hold their value, I think a $20,000 fastback Mustang is a bargain, especially considering it increases in...

    Wheel Brand

    Those are Appliance. The shape of the outer lip where it transitions to the spoke area is a clue. Look on the back and see if there's any casting numbers or letters. True American Racing wheels say "American Racing" while lots of other wheels have nothing. Oddly enough some Appliance wheels had...
