    Randomnly stalls

    So, today I started her up again, this time trying to let it warm up before taking it out, it stalled 3 times while warming up. I finally said to hell with it and took her for a drive, mainly on the freeway, all was good, it was a 20 mile trip, no problems, got the destination, stayed there for...

    Randomnly stalls

    Hey all, I just got my car back from the mechanic, he had to rebuild the carb, stock 2bbl. It was a fuel delivery issue somewhere. Anyway, when I was driving back from practice about 2 miles of driving the car stalled, i cranked the ignition and I could feel the whole car shaking but it...

    In general, how do stock '65s handle twisties

    I'd also have it checked out before I drove it for that many miles. Also with power drum brakes i'd definitely put some extra distance between yourself and the car in front of you and slow down before coming into curves. Drums have the capability of locking up. It shouldn't be raining but if...

    Weird vibrations in drive

    Ugh, so i took it back to the body shop that did the body repair, for a few things like shifter linkage adjustment and the fuel sender was completely off, so they'd have to fix it. They said the shifter linkage adjustment they can't do, and it looks like the transmission mount is broken would...

    free 67 fast back v8 duel crab!!!

    Its kinda hard to decipher what you're trying to ask. But are you asking what should you look for and is it better to buy a complete car rather than take this free one? Is it a rolling chasis? When shopping for a new project you have to ask what you want to do with it. Do you want to race it...

    Weird vibrations in drive

    I'm not sure if its the U-joint, the car is at a standstill. It's possible it can be the flex plate, it needs to be replaced, its missing some teeth. I drove the car for a bit after i got it back from the body shop and it seemed fine. It was only after I changed the speedo cable is this...

    Weird vibrations in drive

    Hey guys, I appreciate all the info you guys have been giving lately. Now is just a concern. Recently I've been noticing that every so often when i'm at a complete stop and at idle the car has a really really weird and strong vibration. It is almost like something on the gear is off or...

    Interior paint question

    Make sure NPD isn't selling you a rainbow industries paint. I'm not sure if I bought it from NPD or from mustangsplus but Rainbow industries paint is nothing but trouble, its inconsistent, half of the cans are watered down too much. Just my experience.

    Power steering... AGAIN

    Instrument lights non-op...

    If the socket has voltage before you rev it when the others are off, there's no point looking elsewhere, the problem is in the ground or you have the wrong bulb size. It's a process of elimination. So if the socket end isn't getting voltage then the question is it the wire that has failed...
