    Heater control cables

    What do you mean exactly by slide back and forth properly. If they're just stiff then use some WD40. Any other problem can only be on the control panel, the wires and the levers on the heaterbox and plenum themselves are pretty simple, not much can go wrong there. Edit: nvm, I posted right...

    Heater control cables

    I know it's a fairly obvious pointer, but you may want to make sure you have the knobs on the control panel down (errr it's been a while, which ever makes the wires longer). Shouldn't be too much of a problem :shrug:

    Stereo sound with a loud exhaust - you really don't need much

    Heh if my car was blown I don't think I'd have much use for a system either :)

    Stereo sound with a loud exhaust - you really don't need much

    Alpine 9805 deck MB Quartz Reference (Mid grade) 5.25s" MB Quartz Reference 6x9s 2 Alpine Type-S 12" subs Alpine F450 Amp 1.2F cap 6x9s are what really makes it loud as hell, I should have gone with better quality up front, the 6x9s overpower and it doesn't sound as good with the fade up...

    Stereo sound with a loud exhaust - you really don't need much

    Heh, I could probably hear my system over a 747. Unfortunately ya...I probably put about 100 pounds in my trunk, d'oh!

    Any Young Mustang owners out there??????

    Whew...well... MSD will help, not tremendously, but it will give you a better spark, which can lead to a little bit more power as well as fuel economy. Bored over is the bore on the cylinder walls. Two factors determine displacement, bore and stroke. To increase displacement and potential...

    Any Young Mustang owners out there??????

    Hmm...where's the clicking coming from? I usually warm my car up 5 mins in the morning and from the rest of the day on for maybe a minute to 30 seconds. Then again...it doesn't really get cold here... If you have a carb with an automatic choke, just give it a little kick of gas every 2...

    Any Young Mustang owners out there??????

    I'm 18 now and have my 66 as my daily driver. Let me give you three tips: 1. Gain all the knowledge you can: check this board and read posts, read the magazine articles, listen to anyone you can, etc, etc.. 2. Once you have quite a bit of this knowledge start working on it. Little stuff...

    How many of you use your Stang as a daily driver?

    I drive mine everyday, take it to parties, do all the dumb stuff high school kids do with their cars (I've grown a lot more open to taking it anywhere, and somehow, nothing ever happens to it, even in the most crowded of places). The only bad thing about driving a classic daily once you have...

    What!

    If you go to the main "classic mustangs" with all the threads visable, go to the bottom left and see options such as "sort threads by" "threads from (somethin like that)" Click on the threads starting from drag down menu and hit "beginning" and you should be able to find it. I don't know...

    picked up a Optima red top battery - Alternator ?

    For a good price, look at summit or jeg's. www.paperformance.com makes good ones, but a bit more expensive. Get a 1-wire, just hook it up to the positive battery terminal and you're good to go.

    picked up a Optima red top battery - Alternator ?

    Red tops are for more shorter duration high power while the yellow ones will last longer. Blue are marine I think? I think I remember hearing red tops are better for high performance applications and yellows are better for cars with big systems or that do a lot of driving. Red top -...

    Shelp Drop Questions 65 Fastback??/

    I'd say 620s too, it's a really nice look and handles very well. The stiffness doesn't really bother me too much at all. Then again I pretty much stay in town, they might get to you after long trips? :shrug: You have a template, but just in case, or for more info, I used this...

    Where to begin on my 64 1/2?

    First thing I'd probably do is get rid of that rust, give yourself a good foundation to start from. Make sure the frame is straight and all, maybe pound out those dents. Get it running right, then you go can go onto the visual and speed goodies :D I'd get a 1966 ford shop manual, you're...
