    Space Saver Spare for 1973 Fastback

    I used a donut from a '94-5 Mustang, and it works well on my SSBC-brake equipped '65 (you think your trunk is small!). The bolt pattern is the same as your '73, but you might want to find it at a salvage yard or somewhere that you can confirm the offset and clearance to your brakes before you...

    5.0 into early model look in here!

    Gents -- it's actually 1/8" NPT (National Pipe Thread), which measures something like 3/8" across. You can run a 1/8"NPT tap into the existing dipstick tube hole on the side of the block and it'll take a thread (not a great one since it's not quite the right diameter for a 1/8"NPT thread, but...

    5.0 into early model look in here!

    You can drill the 5.0 timing cover to accept a front-mounted dipstick - there's even a boss cast into the cover that shows you where to put it. Just buy a Ford Racing (or the brand of your choice) dipstick and tube, drill the right sized hole (3/8", i think, but double check this before you...

    P/S headlight very dim 65/66 Stangs

    Definitely sounds like a ground. There's a ground wire that connects directly from the headlight socket to, I think, the radiator support just inboard of the headlight. Check the driver's side - you should be able to find it and confirm that the passenger's side one is loose or missing.

    JMC hydraulic clutch kit

    I've got the JMC hydraulic clutch kit on my '65 with T-5. No underdash clutch spring is necessary (there's a return spring down on the transmission that fully retracts the slave cylinder instead). :D

    Fuel Injection on Early Model Mustangs

    That photograph could almost have been taken from underneath my car - same low-pressure pump, except that I'm running it through a header tank. Is (or was) that Carter pump super-noisy? It's been reliable, but I can barely hear the Walbro high pressure pump in comparison. What's your...

    Who had to fabricate electric fan brackets or shroud brackets?

    2x2 aluminum angle oriented vertically to pick up the outside of the cooling fan and the radiator mounting holes (for a pusher fan application on my '65). fwiw...

    WARNING: Not for the faint hearted...

    Beautiful Mustang! Why are you letting some hack (the guy who failed to tighten your lug nuts) within 100 yards of it?

    EFI Conversion: Solenoid Options

    Yup - what Tubo3 said. You basically use the fender-mounted solenoid as a switch to feed 12V to the small terminal on the mini-starter, while the big terminal on the mini-starter has 12V all the time. Search on this topic - there are schematics somewhere. It's not difficult, in any case.

    ? about a radiator for 66 I6

    Sounds like he gave you a V-8 radiator. In addition to the hose placement being wrong, I'm pretty sure you'll find that the hoses sizes are too large for the 6-cyl rad hoses. Take 5.0ina66's advice - life is too short to fool around hacking the wrong part into your car, when the correct one...

    Am I gonna like Flowmaster Delta 40's?

    I was thinking the same thing prior to swapping out my Delta 40's, but they only make the 50 series with a longer muffler body - made it a pain to fit into the existing space left by the 40-series. There was a Dynomax of the correct length, fortunately. Might not be an issue for you, but you...

    Am I gonna like Flowmaster Delta 40's?

    I ran 2-1/2" Delta 40's at first on my '65 (306EFI before the supercharger) and found my teeth rattling and small children in my neighborhood running terrified to their mothers when I drove by. It was not exactly subdued. The drone at 2K rpm was enough to make it hard to focus (exaggerating a...

    9" or 8

    Here's a good source for info that may help you tell the difference. http://www.kevinstang.com/Ninecase.htm By the way, if it's a stock rear in a '66, it's almost certainly an 8" (unless someone swapped it). Hope that helps.

    New Seat opinions for my 66 coupe

    I have the Recaro Speed seat in my '65. Speedware Motorsports made a custom mounting bracket and, while it's a little higher than would be ideal, it's not bad and there's plenty of room for me (5'11") and a helmet. It's reasonably comfortable - I've spent about 2.5 hours max in the seat on a...

    Anyone have the 600 HP-rated Griffin direct-fit aluminum radiator in their 65-66?

    I was having some sort of fuel delivery issue, although I didn't realize it until the drive home and had some time to watch the fuel pressure gauge. It mysteriously dropped off at WOT (not a good sign!). Could be that the radiator is fine and I just need to figure out the fuel issue...

    EFI Conversion: Fuel Regulator

    I used the Holley adjustable unit, but only 'cause it was powder-coated a cool bright red. lol... There is some advantage in being able to adjust your WOT fuel pressure but, as 65ShelbyClone points out, that's an advanced topic. If you're just setting it up, it doesn't cost that much and you...

    Anyone have the 600 HP-rated Griffin direct-fit aluminum radiator in their 65-66?

    I've got one. It works fine for regular street use in front of my supercharged 306 (445rwhp), keeping it quite cool whether I'm idling a lot or highway driving. I had problems recently, however, during an open track event. On a hot day (~94degF) with some hard driving mostly under boost, on a...

    Electronic speedo question

    On my Dakota Digital control module, there's a separate tap that is driven off of the VSS. In other words, you drive the speedometer from the VSS, then the auxiliary feed from the separate tap on the control box (in my case the EEC - in yours your overdrive). See if your speedometer has a...
