    1965 Upgraded Brakes Upgrade Question?

    Hey, when you get that in, let me know how it works! Are you using it on a disc/disc system?

    1965 Upgraded Brakes Upgrade Question?

    Got a brake question for you guys regarding my brakes . . . that have already been upgraded. Many moons ago, I did the traditional front Grenada / rear 9" Versi swap (like in 1994). I have a '67 booster / MC, too. Now I'm looking for something "mo better". There are a buh-jillion kits out...

    probably can . . . it's just a hassle. It's not like anything on the panel works, anyway . . . lol.

    Actually, I have the '65 instrument panel harness . . . but it's not necessarily for a '65. It's for the standard panel with idiot lights. I need the one for the Pony interior. If you have THAT ONE . . . my brother . . . you may save me AND PAINLESS a headache. :)

    About To Replace The Wiring Harness . . .

    Okay, sort of slogging through the wiring, and ran into an interesting little snag. The kit came with two bags for the instrument panel, one marked 1966 and one marked 1965. Okay, no read flags, right? So, I put the 1966 one away (somewhere) and move on with the wiring. That was a few months...

    Okay, I've been slowly working on it due to the heat, but I've learned a few VERY SIMPLE things to make wiring your car a lot easier. I'm not done, yet, but I'm going to relate what I've learned so far both from personal experience and through the videos. Here we go. First thing is make sure...

    Age Old Disc Brake Question For '65s

    What's the best master cylinder and booster to use in a '65? I see so much stuff out there that it turns into white noise. This is basically what I understand. You can use a bunch of different combos of MC/B, but you have to remove or notch the export brace (I've run a '67 unit for years, and...

    About To Replace The Wiring Harness . . .

    I'm going out to get first round of supplies today. I'm SERIOUSLY thinking about painting all the stuff behind the dash and instruments while I have the chance. One of the worst things about doing your own car is that, lol, you KNOW what's behind all the pretty stuff.

    1965 Instrument Pod

    Did you seal the seams on the dash with anything or just leave it? Are there any installation instructions?

    1965 Instrument Pod

    Hey, have any of you guys ever installed or used the Tach/Oil (whatever) dual gage pods that can be added to the '65 and '66 Mustangs? I'm just interested in your experiences. Oh, and have you ever done one in blue? LOL!

    I'm going to need the 22 circuit because, short of A/C, I've got everything you can imagine. :D I'm going to order it from Dallas Mustang probably tonight. I'll send you guys pictures!

    About To Replace The Wiring Harness . . .

    I looked at Autowire, and the price is good BUT . . . all of the reviews said you had to move to a 1 wire "GM" alternator and you have to change some of the switches inside to "GM style". And there was some talk of a $120 crimping tool that you don't REALLY need . . . but you REALLY need. I'm...

    About To Replace The Wiring Harness . . .

    Okay, I'm about to replace the wiring harness on my '65, and it looks like the Painless wiring harness is the best one to go with. If not, what's better? I've also heard that the Painless harness doesn't have a lot of the plugs (tail lights and head lights). If not, do any of you guys know...

    Sticky: I6 to V8 conversion

    Man, sorry this took so long to get back to you. The front discs and rear drums aren't bad. ProMotorsports Engineering actually has some drum setups that are pretty amazing (for drums). They supposedly have a "zero fade" system. Dunno . . . but it sounds good. I'd ditch the radiator for a...

    This is Peg in her college trim. She's got the original side emblems and the Shelby hood scoop. There's a 351W "truck" motor inside with the toploader. I THINK I have the disc brakes here.
