    Strange...

    The A arms from different years are all the same. The differance is probably just in the fender alingnment. Remember our cars were made in detroit's dark days, even when they were new, panel alignment on a II was not quite up to Acura specs :D

    Being cute might have its perks?

    Inertia anti car-b-que switch.

    I take apart two brand new cars a day at work. I work at a late model wrecking yard. Many of the cars are car-b-que's. After seeing many burnt cars I desided to put in a Holley low oil pressure fuel pump turn off switch. If the engine stopped so would the pump for safety. It was a great idea...

    Memorial Day weekend fun

    I put a stock car mini spool in my II. I did it as a tempory measure, but I find that I love it and there is no plan to change it. The mini spool is about $50.00 and it can be installed in your driveway with no special tools. The only driveability problems are durring low speed stuff like...

    I have seen your photo, and call me a dirty old man, if you will, but If you stopped by my garage, I would change your engine for free :D

    Mustang II GT H.O

    A Mondaro is a car I created well on a rant. A Mondeo is a european Ford Contour (I love touring car racing) scatter brain?! . A Holden Monaro as you know GTO boy, is the General Motors of Australia car that our new"GTO" is based on :D I have a poster of a new GTO on my wall. I am not a hater...

    emissions

    My 1975 2+2 had banjo nuts and aluminum smog pipes coming from the rear of the heads. I don't know where they went, because they had been previously broken-off and crushed shut! If that engine could talk 13 years and 3 rebuilds, 3 Mustang II's later it lives on thirty over in the Mach. I don't...

    Mustang II GT H.O

    I was watching "The American Muscle Car" on Speed Channel. The shows are always the same. The Muscle car in question started out as a pathetic economy car in the early sixties. The big three or four? sprinkled on more stripes and horse power until 1970. In 1970 all hell broke loose and fill in...

    Put on the rack

    I checked into the price of a rebuilt power rack today. Would you believe $167.00 + 50.00 core? :canada: :shrug: I figured it would be big pimpin' money. Pretty resonable really. Are the outer tie rods different between manual and power?? I kinda remember they were, I forget.

    My wheels/your thoughts

    I have seen pic's of your car before, and no offense to everybody else, but your wheels are the only aftermarket wheels I have ever seen that I thought looked right on a II! Those are discontinued American Racing right? I looked into getting a set of those when I saw your car previously. I was...

    II Blue

    I was a Holley man. You know they make 500 CFM Edelbrocks now P/N 1404 X 2 :D Trust me you will not regret it. You can use your years of Holley fixin' skills as I do. Help out the poor S.O.B at cruise night with his Holley, then jump in your Edelbrock carbed II and drive home. No gas on my...

    My wheels/your thoughts

    I was planning a dedicated set of tires for auto x and open track events. The T/A and drag radial set up would be for street/strip. I was talking to a guy who auto crossed his SVO Mustang with 4 drag radials pumped up to a higher PSI. I don't see the point though, it is not like drag radials are...

    My wheels/your thoughts

    1badII I am not looking to trim or roll anything, I have 8 more payments on the paint job :D (fresh egg shell finish black under the car). I did cut the trunk floor out for the fuel cell, cut two 2" wide slits in the floor for the frame connectors and welded in a 6 point cage, so it is not...

    do you have any idea how hard it is to stop a speeding II with stock wheels?

    You know if it was not for Rebel's (sometimes posts here) $800 180kmph (in a 60) speeding ticket in the Mach 1, I would not have bought or restored it. I had a really rusty kinked Ghia at the time...... (12 years ago). With the 3.55 gears and 21.5" tires the Compression of the 306 slows the Mach...

    do you have any idea how hard it is to stop a speeding II with stock wheels?

    It is all about perspective! After driving My 91 Mark 7 with Cross drilled and slotted four wheel disc ABS brakes the Mach feels kinda scary. After driving my 93 Mazda 323 with the 155/80/13" tires the II has great brakes :D So you have two options: 1. Do a brake and tire upgrade. 2. Quit...

    Motor mounts

    My memory is not all that good since I turned 30 but, I think I only payed $75each :canada: each for my motor mounts new from Ford (I likely got Jobber price). $75 Canadian still works out to #@$%-all :flag: though :D
