    Unfortunately I don't have a Mustang II, grinder, welder or a torch. I don't even have a garage. :D

    Yellow brick road to a great Suspension

    How do I know if my UCA/LCA's are in bad condition? What do you mean by "play?" If the bushings are worn, should I just replace with polygraphite all the way around keep the stock arms, or should I just spring for new ones? PS: You're in Santa Rosa? I drive up there a few times a year to...

    Yellow brick road to a great Suspension

    AWESOME info, thank you! Regarding front suspension: I'd like about a 1" drop on all 4 corners. If I do the Shelby drop and get 620# 1" drop springs, will the drop up front be too much? The car currently has GT-40p heads (are those aluminum?) and an aluminum intake manifold. So there's a bit...

    Yellow brick road to a great Suspension

    So I've been doing some more searching and from what I've read a basic list might go: 1) Rear Springs and shock 2) Subframes 3) Front springs 4) Sway bars 5) poly bushings? 6)UCA/LCAs? I have a 70 coupe -- would the Shelby drop be beneficial? Can anyone recommend good...

    Yellow brick road to great Handling Hey everyone, I've been reading/posting on this board for a few months now and first I just wanted to say that there's no way I could've undertaken my first Classic Mustang project without your help. But, being the greedy information whore that I am...

    Where to buy braided steel brake hoses?

    Summit sells a pair of Russells for around $60. I can't find braided hoses for my rear drums though. Anyone know if they are available?

    Help with leaking rear axle

    Thanks for the tips. I'll keep the vent tube and worn axle issues in mind when I replace the seals. Can you guys point me to the right part? I'm a retard and can't find it.

    Help with leaking rear axle

    We don't have Advance stores in Socal, but it looks like they use the same supplier as Kragen (partsamerica.com.) I hate to be a complete NOOB, but do you have part #s or links for the seals and bearings I need? Stupid me can't find them on partsamerica.com or autozone. THANK YOU!

    Help with leaking rear axle

    Hi everyone, I have a leak somewhere in my rear axle. You can see black gunk on the rear passenger side drum brake area. It's only on the PS side, though, and not on both sides. I'm gonna have a friend help me with it this weekend, and I'd like to have the parts ready, or at least know...

    Speedo gear broke inside tranny?

    Hey guys, When I bought my car the speedo cable was broken and I just got around to dealing with it today. I jacked the car up and the piece that inserts into the tranny was still there, with a ghetto plastic cap covering the end where the speedo cable SHOULD be. Anyway, I yanked the end out...

    Burning smell after changing brakes?

    Hey guys, I changed the pads, rotors, drums and shoes a few weeks ago and to this day after 30 minutes of driving you can smell a faint burning smell coming from all four corners. You can only smell it if you get real close to the tire, but it's definitely there. Did I do something wrong...

    Is this the right firing order? (diagram inside)

    I have no idea what the part # is for the cam. All the info I have on it is what I said above. Do you recommend I try other firing orders and see which one works the best? This firing order seems to work fine, so maybe I shouldn't mess with it...

    Cost of chroming valve covers?

    Hey guys, I have a set of blue "Powered by Ford" valve covers. I was thinking it would be cool to sand blast them and have them chromed. Any idea how much this would cost? Are "Powered by Ford" chrome valve covers already available? Second, has anyone heard of clear valve covers? Like...

    Is this the right firing order? (diagram inside)

    I have a 70 coupe. Previous owner replaced the stock 302 with a 302 crate. I just wanted to double check that my firing order was correct since I just changed the plug wires (one wire at a time :) ). According to the previous owner, he installed "Comp. Cam. Mild. Comp cams double roller and Comp...

    Paint bid

    Eric N -- Is that paintshop in Bakersfield? What's the name of the place? I've been looking at getting my 70 coupe painted but I wasn't sure how much it would cost. Would the price go up substantially to fix a rust bubble in the door? Definitely keep us updated on how the paint turns...

    How do i lessen the Flowmaster drone?

    I bought a used Magnaflow catback for my '02 GT and the seller included a pair of Bassani resonators/baffles. They fit right into the exhaust tips and are held in place by a set screw. When I put them in it cuts down the sound a LOT...almost down to stock. I'm not sure what hte diameter of the...

    Did I get a good deal on this 70 coupe?

    Do you guys think the original 302 is worth anything? Should I just keep it in case I sell the car and the buyer wants it? It looks like I have all the parts for it except for a cam. I have the crankshaft, pistons, heads, oil pan, air cleaner, original intake, original carb.

    Did I get a good deal on this 70 coupe?

    I've gone over the car with a magnet and the only problem spot I found is on the passenger side rear quarter...about a 2" slightly indented circle where the magnet doesnt hold. I have a feeling I'm not gonna like seeing what's under the paint... The floorboards and the cowl look great. It's a...
