    Hesitation and sputter problem aroung 2500 - 3000rpm

    Never know, I've heard some of these rice burners are particular that way with their exausts and having to have a certain amount of back pressure to run correctly. I was wondering since you reduced the back pressure now temporaily and the problem started right after, if a forward or retarding...

    Tranny trouble, need advice

    I know just what your telling him from experience, or lack there of at the time. Was the first time I swapped a trans. (not gonna say "tranny" and get jerrys going,lol) I didn't line up the notches for the pump, bolted everything up and was wondering why I had 3/4" that was giving me a...

    68 Drivers seat, repair question for rebuilders

    I'm sure one rebuilder or another has run into this and done the repair (pic) Anyone rebuilt a bent seat like this, what's the point of breakage usually? I can weld the thin stuff no prob., is it gonna be a simple joint to just realign and weld back in place or is fabrication usually needed...

    the next few days are going to be interesting

    They say when it rains it pours when it comes to what some people have to endure, I couldn't agree w/ that more from what I've seen. Life can really get unbearable at times and just when you think you can't take anymore you get dumped on again, it's BS. Anymore you just have to live life to the...

    Random dying and backfire in 66 289

    I just had a very similar problem, turned out to be my condenser of all things. Replace the points and condenser and I'll bet you'll run fine again.

    Stupid Emissions Question...

    OK, looks like you got some decent answers so far. I think rbohm's suggestion should get you thru the "cheapest" as that's what you wanted to do. ron67fb also says he's heard of the additives that are supposed to help get you thru as well so check that out since your that close to passing...

    What's the best deal you ever got on a Stang?

    Ahhh, so that's your 68 I'm using as my screen saver the past week, great job on it, really decent ride. Been enjoying the posts every few days when I check them out. Yea "65Misstress" , those little old ladies can give a great deal on a car I know,lol. My recent: 68 coupe I6 I bought...

    MUFFLER LOUDNESS

    Got dual Purple Hornets on my custom 91 Silverado, has a deep throaty sound, had a lot of compliments on the sound of it. Kinda still to quiet for me though, would luv to find the original designed ones from the 70s but Govt. outlawed them. My 68 Stang is stock.

    the next few days are going to be interesting

    My sympathies to your friend that is loosing her Dad to cancer, it's a really tough thing to endure. My GF lost her Mom to it about 3 years ago and it was a pretty sad deal to go thru w/ her, she was only into her early 60s. Best of luck to the Bride and Groom, in a few years he'll be using...

    Stupid Emissions Question...

    Ok this is kinda funny because my GF was just telling me today about a nutjob on a Yorkie dog site talking about how her car failed an emmisions test. She said she prayed and asked God to help her out, she went to the auto store and bought some additive and also put high octane gas in her...

    18's really to big on a 65-66? pics inside!

    OK, I can't believe I'm saying this but I don't think they look to bad, actually good. First thing my eyes were drawn to though were the wheels rather than the over all look. Call me old school, say seen them done that, but IMHO you still can't beat two classics together complimenting one...

    Overheating but only when keeping engine above 2k rpm

    One point I missed, do you have the right radiator cap on that your engine calls for? (just to cover all bases) Also, after you refill your radiator after a flush let it run till you see the thermostat open (your coolant will suddenly drop), add more at this point till full and have your...

    White smoke from exhaust.

    Glad your getting it looked at, if the mechanics good he should be able to pinpoint it. If it turns out the trans. shop did shoddy work have your mechanic document it on the bill receipt and get a partial refund from the trans. shop for screwing up (if they did). Once fixed remember to top off...

    Overheating but only when keeping engine above 2k rpm

    You might wanna check the differences between doing it yourself w/ auto store type flushes and a pro job. If it's that thick like paste that block sounds really clogged to the max. A shop probably has something better to eat that rust away and power flush it out compared to a garden hose and...

    Fuel pressure vs idle quality

    Good post, allways nice to have an extra option for trouble shooting a carb when all the others failed. I know a guy w/ a TA that will be glad to have this info.

    White smoke from exhaust.

    Fast63 and ultrastang make great points that would explain most of this and seems that would be it, but it still doesn't explain all of the symptoms. If it is only smoking "when it's warmed up" that tells me it's burning off of something, your exaust maybe once it gets hot? I think it's your...
