    Electrical problems?

    I wish 'car guys' would quite telling their friends to do this, pulling the neg. cable while running causes the electrical system to hunt for a new 2 gauge ground which it usually doesn't have an fries things in the electrical system anyway like the VR, alt., wires, etc. so if you didn't have an...

    Electrical problems?

    Hi, I would start with taking the battery and alt. in to a local parts store for a full charge (possibly 24hrs. to get a full deep charge) so that it can be tested properly. The battery could have a dead short, have gone bad or could have been overcharged by a faulty voltage regulator. If...

    Shelby Drop Help!

    I take it your car is a '66? I wouldn't take anything for granted as far as IF they aligned it correctly. After you do the shelby drop you MUST align to the shelby specs, not the factory specs. It is often difficult to get a shop to align to anything other than the stock settings their computer...

    Instrument lights not working

    I think as long as it's a 12V source and you have a working gauge VR:Mustangs Unlimited - The Premier Source for Mustang, Shelby and Cougar Parts and Accessories on the back of your gauge panel it should cut it down to the correct voltage for the gauges. The dash lights were run through the...

    68 Mustang c4 not shifting right after engine work

    They shouldn't have touched the rear hose but i'd check it anyway. It is a 90* hose at the rear half of the trans on the pass. side, the metal line runs from the top of the motor to down there. The hose may need replacement and you'll need a 90* formed hose or it'll kink. While you're there pull...

    Bleeding 9"

    The fluid should just come to the lip of the fill hole 2/3 way up the 3rd member. Add fluid until it begins to run out, you are full put the screw plug back in. Untangle that mess, run the hose up from the rear with enough slack to not pull tight and run the other end into the trunk area through...

    headlight bucket help

    I believe there is also a screw under the hood. If you have new buckets you should be able to compare them and go over every hole/stud to see that they're all off the car. I'll take a look at mine when I get home today. For the top one I had to use a 12" long 1/4" socket extender and a deep...

    Guys over 6 ft tall. Headliner and seat options?

    Which fixes will work or how many together are needed really depends on your upper body ht., are you 6'1", 6'4", etc. will you be wearing a helmet in the car? At 6'1" I needed just a little more space so I extended the seat tracks ~2" when I installed foxbody seats that are the same ht. as...

    How to wire a 1 wire alternator with trunk mounted battery

    Yes TMK you have to get the juice from the alt. back to the battery so it will recharge it. I have an 8ga. wire with fueable link at the solenoid. Wire runs from solenoid in trunk to front distribution block and 8ga. from dist. block to alt. I am using this diagram to run mine now: Catalog...

    Here's one way to mount a trunk solenoid and wire, Catalog there are multiple ways yours is a litte different as it has an electric FP. If you can't trace the other wires to the front via color you may have to disconnect them and see what doesn't work? I would suggest starting a new...

    AOD shifter kits

    Reading the description they do not include the Ford AOD in the list of trans that this kit would allow you to shift or hold gears as you want to: "it provides additional driver manual control (GM TH-400, 350, Ford C-6 & Chrysler Torqueflite only). Most stock automatic transmissions won't...

    Trunk Latch issue

    I can't think of anything, the rear seat is really easy to remove. Pull up on bottom lip to unclip and pull forward to remove bottom. You will see 2 screws holding the bottom of the seat back on, remove those and pull up on the seat back = seats are out and your FRIEND can crawl in the trunk...

    Wide tires, flares and related questions

    I am interested in this also as I'd eventually like to use the same size rim/tire on my '67. I think what you're interested in is the tire width, from TireRacks site: A tire's section width (also called "cross section width") is the measurement of the tire's width from its inner sidewall to its...

    How to remove lugs from front brake drums

    Yes, I haven't used them yet but once the studs moved (lots of penetrating oil) I could also see a seperation of the center hub area and just kept working my way around. One broke free after just one circle of whacks, the other took 1/2 dozen circles before I saw movement. They both just dropped...
