    1969 Mach1 fuel gauge will not go past 1/4 full

    ...and you have to do it through trial & error. That means draining the tank each time & pulling the sending unit out & bending it just a little bit at a time. What a PITA! I even had a repro unit that was pouring gas out through the element. After my wife theatened to push my car into the...

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

    Welding a Gas Tank I wouldn't be too anxious to weld a gas tank. The gas fumes get into the metal & even when empty & dry may still blow up. You are better off replacing it. If you insist on welding it like I did once, my father (a professional welder) had me fill the tank with water & keep...

    66 Tiger

    Tigers are FAST. You know that the British drink warm beer because they have Lucas electrics in their Refrigerators. Good luck with it. I always liked those cars & man are they fast! I remember right after I bought my GT 500 I was full of myself zooming around the highway when (what I...

    New member introduction and a couple 289 questions

    For the quickest and best kick in the seat of the pants... Upgrade your rear axle ratio to at least a 3:50 -1. If you aren't planning on any long trips, just driving around town you could go to a lower ratio. Then the 600CFM will work fine for you. Too many people over-carb.

    Ignition Trouble, Please Help!

    Starting circuit If you can't trace it to ignition, I would try looking at the starting circuit. Either a bad ground, solenoid or the starter itself may be shorting out.

    Randall rack install...

    I'd still be curious what it feels like to loose 3 ft of turning radius. Does that mean that you need to crank the wheel over more than usual? What does it feel like on a normal road course?

    Running no thermostat?

    IF you have a car that runs hot, a 190+ thermostat will take longer to open & close quicker. That will keep the car just a little bit cooler, but you still get resaonable warm-ups, heat in the winter etc.

    How have you prepared your Mustang for a flat tire

    Do you have disc brakes in the front of the Mustang? Do the Honda donuts fit over the calipers? I use a donut out of a 1990's big Ford, but it only fits over my drum brakes so If I get a flat in the front, I need to put the spare on the back & use the back wheel in the front. It would be a...

    Running no thermostat?

    It won't hurt anything running without a thermostat. It will just take forever to get the car warmed up. You would be much better off getting the hottest thermostat that you can find.

    Anyone know what happened to FOMOCO.com?

    That's what I was thinking Ford had already come to an agreement with the vendors some time ago They just decided to push it further now. They've already announced that they will be going after the publications like Mustang Monthly next.

    Anyone know what happened to FOMOCO.com?

    Are they kidding? I am willing to give this the benefit of the doubt for a while. But after nearly 40 years of loyal Ford ownership (including owning crap like the Ford Tempo) I will give it all up and move on if this is the case! I can not belive that the company would treat their most...
