    Granada swap problem

    just a thought: when you installed the front calipers, did you make sure that the bleeders are at the top , 12 noon position? My car had the calipers on the wrong wheels with the bleeders at 4 o clock, and as a result I could never get the trapped air out of the system.

    Advice on buying 65-68 Mustang?

    you might try an ebay search, last week it seemed the fastback prices were lower than they were 2 mos ago, very few even hit 10 grand. Another source would be www.hemmings.com and www.collectorcartraderonline.com

    oil pump shaft

    as long as you dont drop it down into your oil pan like i did. Had to remove the pan to retrieve the damn thing. I left the pan off, and used some grease to create a suction at the bottom of the distributor to hold the shaft in place. It dropped out again, this time I had the pan off, so no...

    Results of the autopsy

    at least you found the problem. Mine recently started ticking too, I have great oil pressure at this time, and am not sure what the problem is yet. Was yours losing oil pressure as this occurred?

    Alternating brake light failures...

    usually a brake light switch will either cause you to have no brake lights at all, or they will stay on even with the car turned off. I think you are correct about a bad connection. I would start by taking the sockets out, removing the bulbs and inspecting the contacts. I had a reverse light...

    I need a hug!!

    I dont understand what you mean by the police dont want to be involved. They are public servants, and if you need to file a report, late or not, they need to take one from you to account for what happened. If they dont, my next phone call would be to a lawyer. If you ignore this...

    Brake fade, potential problems

    Sounds like they are on correctly, my bleeders point to the side too, and their location is at the top of the piston chamber 12 noon. It is possible for left and right calipers to be installed on the wrong wheels, but from your description it sounds like you got them on right. Does the car...

    Brake fade, potential problems

    make sure the calipers were installed with the bleeders at the top, 12 o'clock position. Mine werent and as a result I could never bleed all the air out, till I realized the calipers were on the wrong wheels!

    Why fellow fastback People so frumpy?

    If I see a nice car, especially a classic, and I happen to catch the drivers attention, I will nod 'nice car', But, if I am at a red light, or in traffic.... I do not look around to see who is looking at my Stang. Not trying to be a snob, I just dont think attention seeking is...

    looking at a '67 vert tomorrow

    I would ask to have it put up on a lift so you can get a real good look at the undercarriage. If he wont agree to that, ask why. As far as price, every car stands on its own. Engine size, trans, options, and of course condition, are what determines the cars value. You can have a wide...

    Ran fine this morning, now it hesitates

    could this be something that went wrong in the carb itself? It backfired once as I started to drive home, up thru the carb. Then ran like crap the 20 mile ride home. :shrug:

    Ran fine this morning, now it hesitates

    The wires are about 10 mos old, Motorcraft brand. I wonder if they could be bad this quick? Car has only been driven 1500 miles in the last year, 500 of them in the last month alone. The distributor is rebuilt from Oreilly A/P, I wonder if the cheapo points they use could be the problem? I...

    Ran fine this morning, now it hesitates
