    Flywheel Starter Problem

    As I recall, there are two types of starters for these cars, Long-nose (or something to that effect) and short-nose. Most cars (though this is not invariable) with manual transmissions require long-nose types, while autos take the shorter one. I can't remember why, I jsut remember reading it...

    Whats everyone favorite year classic mustang

    I can't believe this is still around! I just saw it, and voted before I looked at the age... talk about back from the dead. Anyway, for me it's split. I LOVE the front end of a 69, but hate the side ornaments. So it comes out as either a 68 coupe, or a 69FB

    Maybe selling my 69... how much?

    69stang351: I'd be glad to, but it won't be until summer, if that makes a difference. I've gotta have a daily driver to get to school and back until the end of spring quarter. After that, I'm gonna try to sell mine and pick up a new one (well, an OLD one... but you know what I mean...)...

    Has anyone ever used water cooling on their PC ?

    I have a desk that I typically set my laptop on at home (so I guess this wouldn't work as well if you're always taking it places... :shrug: ). I cut two holes in the desk and mounted standard desktop case fans in the holes. They're powered by a 100 watt power supply I tore out of an old 486...

    dunno about fluid cooling, but if you're looking into a laptop, I basically Ram-Aired mine! :D

    Maybe selling my 69... how much?

    I'm considering selling my 69 in the interests of getting another classic with better body and possibly an 8, and so I'm trying to figure out the budgeting. I'm curious how much you guys (and ladies) think I could get for my 69. I don't have pics, but I'll spell it out as best I can. 1969...

    Need help quick: Clutch stuff

    67gtfastback - Do you mean play from the BACK, out to where the clutch engages, or from when my foot is off the pedal to when it disengages. Either way, I've played with the adjustment, and it improved a bit, but still sounds really nasty, like I"m afraid to drive it for fear of tearing...

    Need help quick: Clutch stuff

    Okay, so I tore my tranny out today to try and fix this weird somewhat-slipping thing. I had an earlier thread on it, it had been hypothesized that my pressure plate bolts were loosening up. Tore everything out, tightened up the plate (it was a bit loose, but not bad), put everything back...

    Another goofy ebay car: "Rare factory glass roof"

    you know, as disturbing as that is... (and it is absolutely hilarious), that's a pretty clean install for a hack job like that!

    Got 2nd vin report, need to pick which car to keep now. (really really long)

    Keep the grabber one. I absolutely love sportsroofs, so I'm into either. You said the grabber had a 3spd, but if you aren't so concerned with originality, swap them! Go for the Tremec, totally. I just love black interiors, too. not such a fan of blue, and I agree, it does look GOOD...

    top speed of a 6 cyl?

    in my 69, with a 200, 3spd stick, pertronix ignitor and flamethrower coil I've done 96 on really bad tires with 3 people in the car. Haven't tried it again since doing a bunch of stuff to it.

    okay, did it break or is it really that difficult?

    my method is totally remove the adjusting screws, then lock a pair of needlenose vicegrips on the spring REALLY tight, and just ream on it until it goes in. There are probably better methods. :shrug:

    okay, did it break or is it really that difficult?

    well, I can only speak from experience on a 69, but... Yes, it really is that difficult.

    Machine shop times, prices? (quick)

    How much time am I talking to get my flywheel resurfaced? I can't imagine it's very involved. could I just tear my tranny out, get the flywheel, drive it to a shop in my mom's car, get it machined, and put it all back together in like 8 hours? Price, too?

    6cyl 200 + toploader?

    if you have either a C4 or a 3spd behind your six, and you want more gears, why not just go with a t-5 swap out of a foxbody? with the price of a 4spd toploader and that adapter plate, it's probably CHEAPER. You need an adapter plate, crossmember, and shortened driveshaft (how much or even...
