    Auto to TKO swap

    I think you don't need to modify the tunnel on '69s for a TKO, but you might do some searching as I know the earlier models need mods (like my '67). Are you going to use a cable clutch or linkage? Once you get your conversion crossmember mock everything up and check the angle. You'll need...

    Stumped on my dyno numbers

    Posting the chart or graph will help a lot too in diagnosing your problem. One thing to remember is that while peak numbers are great for bragging rights, the average power is what is going to kick butt for a street car. What was your basis for picking the combination? It's all about...

    Backup Lights - 5spd Issues

    So the 5spd swap was done on my car years ago, but the lights have never worked for very long and right now aren't working at all... I'm fairly certain the switch is hooked up correctly as I get 12V at the lights (with both lights unhooked). Now, if one light or the other is hooked up, not...

    Filling up gas is a pain

    I've contemplated getting a filler neck out of a newer car and trying to fab something up (while still retaining the same look). Has anyone tried this before?

    anyone run a 255 rear tire?

    I run a 245/50/16 on a '67 with no issues. That's with a 4.5" backspace rim with a Versailles rear axle...

    65 With Versailles Rear and Traction Master Bars

    Binding isn't so much the issue on the stressing the car, it's where you mount the front plates. Mine (whether from installer error or not) ended up on the floor pans. One side ripped out eventually and the other buckled the floor pan. You absolutely MUST mount then to subframe connectors...

    65 With Versailles Rear and Traction Master Bars

    I had the same setup (on a 67) and took off the traction masters. They'll bind on you in hard corners and basically act like an infinitely stiff sway bar. Performance in a straight line is ok, never could get the carb right, but the car would cut a 2.0 60ft every single run using DRs or...

    Need to Bench Bleed MC after Adjust Prop Valve Install?

    No, I meant the MC. It is still the original part and hasn't been replaced. What I'm concerned about is when the factory proportioning valve is open air getting in it, then air getting up into the MC. One of the lines was almost impossible to get off the prop valve so we pulled it off the...

    Need to Bench Bleed MC after Adjust Prop Valve Install?

    Is there any need to Bench Bleed a MC after installing an Adjustable Prop valve? On our '85 GT (all stock brake parts) we gutted the front of the MC, replaced with the Ford plug, installed the adjustable valve and now we can't get the brakes to bleed right. It may be a combination of...

    5.0L swap questions

    Since you're asking about using a mechanical fuel pump, I'm going to assume you're going to carb the engine. In that case, you'll definitely need a new cover as there is no provision for a mechanical pump on 86+ engines (85 is still carbed) out of Mustangs anyways... Other than that...

    67 Deluxe Door Courtesy Lamp Harness

    I've found some online at the exorbitant price of $32+ each. My lovely body shop clipped these and then threw them away when they had the doors off the car to paint. I don't have any issue doing the wiring, but I'm at a loss as to where to find similar grommets. Just need the door lights...

    71-73 Gas Tank Dimensions

    It was mentioned in the 66 EFI Tank thread, but no real info other than the pump setup needed to be cutdown.

    71-73 Gas Tank Dimensions

    Ok, so slightly deeper, a little shorter, and a little narrower. That at least means it fits between the rails! So now if the filler pipe is reasonably close to the 67/68 tank we may be in business. That is and if a later-model pump housing fits in the hole...

    71-73 Gas Tank Dimensions

    Any of you 71 to 73 guys willing to take some rough measurements of the gas tank? Looking for length, width, height, and approximate location of the filler neck and sending unit holes in the top (if you've got the tank out that is). I know they use straps instead of the earlier model bolt...

    Is there an EFI tank for '66?

    does anyone have pictures or more tech on the '73 tank install? I sumped my '67 tank (did it the really cheap way with bungs and some plate steel), but want to go to an in-tank pump. thanks!

    65 Stang With Versailles Brakes

    Decurion, do you have any pictures of your setup? I'm trying to get my e-brake hooked up and that price alone is less than a new set of e-brake cables for the versailles or from lokar... Is there a writeup anywhere on this? Thanks!

    WHAT'S NEEDED FOR COUPE TO FASTBACK CONVERSION?

    1 - unknown. 2 - no, different. There are folddown and fixed types. Can't tell you if the fixed is same as the coupe, but the folddown certainly isn't. 3 - There are two panels that cross between the vent panels that I don't think are made along with the trim at the top of the quarter panels...
