    late model alternator in a 69 mustang?

    http://www.fordfuelinjection.com/public/alternator/ Diagrams on wiring all manner of ford alternators. Generally, your major concern is the green wire coming off of the donor alt. harness. You'll need a 12v ignition source as the 'exciter' wire. There's one that will work great leading to...

    Tips for changing steering gear on '72

    Something stinks here. Take the pitman arm off and take a closer look. Is the sector shaft the same diameter as the old one. What about the pitman arm? Could it be the wrong part? IMHO, as soon as you start beating/forcing something, you find out that things weren't right in the first...

    Steering tightening

    Woohoo, spear o' death. Turns a typical rear ending into massive internal hemmoraging, mmm squished internal organs. Luckily, in 1968 federal regulations mandated a collapsable steering column, among other things. 'Guess Nader did a few good things... If I had a 67', the first thing I'd do is...

    Steering tightening

    It can be, unless you have >=351 or long tube headers. It used to take me 20 minutes of twisting and turning to get that bastard in. Luckily, that was before the wife's pregnancy, I used to be in good shape.

    Your camera probably takes picts at high resolution. You'll need some imaging editing software to shrink the images down a bit. Try this software: http://www.download.com/Pixia/3000-2192_4-10515468.html?tag=lst-0-3 open your photo got to image>make resized duplicate screen shot...

    Steering tightening

    If you have a factory tilt column a substantial amount of play can develop there. The u-joints inside go to crap sometimes, most likely from a previous impact. I don't really have any idea how to eliminate this problem; when mine went silly, I cashed it in on EBAY. Even in fair condition, they...

    What alternator do you have

    Ford Racing 90 amp, got it from ebay for 75$ for a close to brand new alternator and cheap. The wife wouldn't let me go to the junk yard and source one from a Taurus. Though, my neighbors abandoned a 94 Taurus right outside my apartment... hmmm, cooling fan, alternator, coil, fuel injectors....

    Rust in trunk, what do I do, what do I do?

    The cardboard is more like a piece of mdf glued to the tank, I'll take a closer look at it. I don't think its a tank repair, too porous. The PO wasn't real bright, but he wasn't that stupid. Then again, I dont' think I'll just pry it off without some idea of why it's there. Anybody seen...

    Rust in trunk, what do I do, what do I do?

    Excellent, I was leaning towards the Eastwood product as I am a beginner in any sort of body work (not to mention a novice mechanically-- It took me a year to get my Randall rack right). Waht about the existing paint and the sealant around the wheel wells. How should I deal with preping the...

    Rust in trunk, what do I do, what do I do?

    The tank isn't neccesarily bad. No holes, etc. Eventually, I imagine I'll put a 69 tank in for the extra capacity. However, this needs to be a relatively inexpensive project, I have other pressing needs. Right now, replacing the tank is not in the budget. I am just going to have to do the grunt...

    Rust in trunk, what do I do, what do I do?

    I must not have been clear. por 15 will weld (chemical) the lid to the can if any gets on the lip. I imagine if I don't remove the tank, it will chemically weld the tank to the car.
