    pre-oiling?

    Hello all. Getting ready to start my 8 year project in a few days. This motor hasn't turned over in about 18 months. How can I pre-oil it? Is it possible to remove the distributor and some how do it that way? Or won't that make the oil pump shaft fall out of the way and I won't be able to...

    EFI intake hose interference

    I searched the forums but didn't find a answer that really helped, so I'll throw this out there. For those of you that put EFI in your Mustang, what did you use for an intake tube? I suspect that I may have to delete the EGR, though I have seen pictures (MustangsPlus website) that still have...

    Removal of ignition switch

    I'm getting ready to get my 66 back on the road after 8 years off. Problem...can't find the key. Buying a new key/switch is easy enough, but how can I get the old switch out with no key? Thanks in advance. Gary in GA

    5.0 throttle plate in 66 coupe

    TT670, I'm sure I mounted everything correctly. I would post a picture, but I don't know how to do it here. I had my pop send me a picture of his throttle cable fully shut and fully open. I am convinced I have a defective cable/not made properly, because it physically won't compress enough...

    What do y'all do for insurance?

    It's been 7 years, and my 66 EFI coupe is almost roadready. Liability is cheap. I'd like more coverage. What companies do any of you out there recommend?

    5.0 throttle cable in 66

    Thanks for the replies. The photo looks just like my setup. I used a gas pedal from a 1990 Mercury Grand Marquis, it fits the cable fine. I guess a better question to ask is, when you mash the gas pedal, how far is the throttle plate open? Because when I pull on the 'gas pedal end' of the...

    5.0 throttle plate in 66 coupe

    I sent you an email, but did you want to know more about what parts you need for EFI, or just throttle plate questions? I was going to suggest that you could come over and look at my setup, but then I looked up how far it is from Waycross to Lawrenceville! Gary

    5.0 throttle cable in 66

    I'm positive the throttle cable bracket is correct. I looked it up on latemodelrestoration and it is correct. On the bracket, there aren't any holes for adjustment. The cable slides into a slot and bolts up. I can rotate the throttle plate to full open by hand, so I don't think there is any...

    5.0 throttle cable in 66

    Hello all. I'm putting a 5.0/AOD (hopefully tomorrow) in my 66. I installed the throttle cable (for a 89-93 Mustang). It installed fine (engine still out of car). Bolted it to the bracket on throttle body. It works fine, but it appears like the throttle only opens about 1/2 of 'full open'...

    65/66 Suspension picture

    Thanks for the replies and the pictures. I thought I had it wrong because I thought the tie rods went in from the back, not the front. Once I fiddled with it for a while, I saw that you really can't screw it up, because there's only one way it will work, what with the tapered bolts and full...

    65/66 Suspension picture

    Hey everyone. My Mustang is a V-8 car, but when I bought it, it had 6 cylinder tie rods, pitman arm, idler arm, and drag link. I have the correct parts now, but I am not sure I am putting them on the right way...the drag link seems to be sitting too high. Does anyone know where I can find a...

    5.0 Fuel injection conversion...is this all i need?

    Hello. You don't need a new gas tank. You just need a place for fuel to go back INTO your gas tank. I solved this problem on my 66 by getting a fuel tank sender that had a return line already installed on it. I did buy a new 66 gas tank though. Hope this helps.

    What EFI harness did you use?

    Hello all. I'm a frequent reader, first time poster. I am converting my 66 Mustang to EFI. I have 90% of the parts. The one big thing I DON'T have is the main wiring harness. I'm just wondering, those of you that have converted, did you use a late model harness and configure it for your...

    Which air filter for EFI in 66 Mustang?

    MustangDave MustangDave, you're right. I hadn't thought about going to LateModelRestoration Supply, even though I've ordered from them before. Thanks! Gary in NC

    Which air filter for EFI in 66 Mustang?

    I know that K&N has one that fits on the Mass air meter. The end of the filter bolts to the inner fender on a 93. They want ~130 for it, and I'm hoping to find JUST the filter cheaper than that.

    Which air filter for EFI in 66 Mustang?

    Hey Everyone. Great site, great forum. I'm putting a 93 5.0 (all stock) in my 66 Mustang coupe. I have one problem that I haven't solved yet. What would be a good replacement filter that will fit on the STOCK air intake pipe? I went to my local auto parts store and looked through all...
