  1. 2nd Mustang

    Mustang Depot

    While on a short fishing trip to Las Vegas, I finally had the pleasure of meeting MDJay at his store. I had actually met him once before many years ago at the All Ford show at Knott's Berry Farm. It was a very nice meeting and he took the time out of his work day to show me his shop and his 65...

    Outta Here!

    This retirement stuff is really time consuming! What day is it? :lol:

    Outta Here!

    Looks like a nice outing. Ever since I retired, it's so time demanding to devote to home, drive the Mustang, fishing, kayaking, motor boating and sailing. We went kayak fishing last weekend and this weekend it'll be sailing. The week days are reserved for cruising in good weather for the...

    Electronic Ignition ID & Rough Idle ?s

    That "gold mystery box" looks like a voltage regulator. Looks like a converted non-points conversion only. An idle speed of 575 seems really low, but then again all of my Mustangs have been the three pedal variety. Even my present 2003 Toyota Tacoma slushbox idles at 750 in gear. A good...

    Great video! I think your burnouts put the fear on your earlier round competition. :hail2: Great camera work too!

    FYI, upside down flag is a distress signal. Where are you located, that may help in finding assistance.

    My new heap. Another ugly coupe

    Looks like that one is going to take a heaping dose of courage! Good luck.

    It's Finally Complete

    I'm very happy for you. My first was a 65 three speed 289 coupe back in 1970. I had to sell it during the gas crisis then life's responsibilities in the form of a family took over. I then bought my 67 coupe seven years ago and have really enjoyed it since. I make sure I drive it at least...

    Introducing - "CHEAPSK8 RACING TEAM"

    That's cool! Back a long, long time ago, I wanted to be cool too, so I used a permanent marker and hand printed my self proclaimed team name on a shirt. I didn't go as far as to put it on the car, as my parents didn't know I was drag racing the family car at the grudge races at the track...

    Outta Here!

    Hope you're not going out too far in that little cruiser. :D Have fun. My little motor boat, sail boat and kayak haven't touched water in many months but summer is just around the corner. :nice:

    Before/After of the Torino

    Is it the cylindrical barrel type? If so, yes, I've replaced mine many times already.

    Before/After of the Torino

    You may want to get new lug nuts. From past experiences, (yes, I'm really old) the lug nuts are the sacrificial part. I've had lug nuts get stripped, but the studs are still good.

    Before/After of the Torino

    Besides being nostalgic, another reason I don't use those new fangled big wheels and skinny sidewalls is the danger of driving on our pot holed streets. My son has 17 and 18 inch wheels on his NSX and has already damaged one wheel to a driveway!

    Before/After of the Torino

    :nice: Being an old phart, I still like the looks of the older 15" wheels.

    What Sealant to use on Thermostat Housing?

    When it comes to water or oil connections, I use the gasket or O-ring if the case with a very light coat of gasket DRESSING. Yes, there are silicones that are meant to be used in place of a gasket but using the wrong silicone will cause minor slippage which causes the leaks, with or without...

    Looks like fun! A piece of advice though, maybe eat less beans before going out on the track. :rlaugh:

    Help Diagnose my Fuel Problem

    AHA! I was having the same off and on no start condition with my old MSD6A unit. I eventually bypassed it and have not had a no start condition. Be warned, that after the off and on no start condition, the car did die while driving off and on also. I changed the coil but problem still...
