    Missing and Surging

    No points. Got one of the Petronix modules. No backfiring, either. I'll swap the filter as I have an extra one. I'll add some HEET to get rid of any water in the tank. The tank is about 1 year old, so I dodn't think it is full of garbage. I replaced the vac advance last year, so that...

    Missing and Surging

    Hi all---Probably in response to the thread where I was singing the praises of the Mustang as a daily driver, my GT started to give me problems today on the way home. It drove fine to work, but on the way home, it was surging and missing as you tried to accelerate. Push the pedal down and a...

    Do you use your classic as your daily driver? Pros and Cons?

    Living in south Louisiana, waiting for the rain to stop and the humidity to lessen is not an option! :D Still, I don't have to deal with salted roads--my truck is still hurting from 4 years in central Illinois.

    John--ANY woman who'll drive a Ranchero is ACES in my book. Hats off to her! --Paul PS Does she smoke the tires? :D

    Do you use your classic as your daily driver? Pros and Cons?

    Don't forget the ability and willingness to work on them in a parking lot, on the side of the road, in the middle of a date. . . . They will break down. You just have to be ready for it. Thank God the texaco quick stop we blew the PS hose in had type F--all dusty and in the back of the...

    Do you use your classic as your daily driver? Pros and Cons?

    Snow has a good point. You'll want AC if you live where it is hot. Make sure your cooling system can handle it, too. I should have added that I live, well, in the woods, so my commute in to teach is not anything like what you'd find in Houston, LA, St. Louis or even Lafayette. (Although I...

    Do you use your classic as your daily driver? Pros and Cons?

    I use mine as a daily driver. Have for over 20 years now. Fortunately, I am at work at 7 am and the parking lot is empty--end space. A buddy comes in around 7:10 and parks next to me, so I'm protected. Pros: Well, it is cool. Won't see many. These cars were meant to be driven--Shelbys...

    ms gulf coast

    MCA had a hell of a show in the Biloxi Col. this May. Over 200 Mustangs there, so, even with the drive ins like me, there are plenty of local mustangs. Isn't there a MS Gulf Coast Mustang Club? Give 'em a look-see. --Paul

    Squeaky, noisy front end

    It isn't that bad yet, but I'm headed there. :D Thanks! I'll see what I can find for those poly bushings.

    Squeaky, noisy front end

    GTA---What do you use to grease the sway bar bushings? I have Poly ones. Sadly, I do need a loud stereo as I'm half deaf from loud stereos in my youth! :rolleyes: Ah, AC/DC, Ted Nugent and Aerosmith. :nice:

    Squeaky, noisy front end

    Dave-- I have the 90 degree fittings on the upper bushings. I'll try regreasing them again and see if that helps. --Paul

    Squeaky, noisy front end

    Hey all-- Just noticed that when I have some noise in the front end of my GT. I get a loud squeaking when I go over speed bump, for instance. It is quiet when I drive on level pavement. What would cause this from the front end? Maybe I should just get a louder stereo? :D --Paul

    Power Steering Control Valve Rebuild?

    Hey all-- Have a new seep in the ol PS system. This is a constant seep--car on or off--that comes from around the control valve--specifically the ball stud metal cover. Having consulted the handy Mustang Monthly database, I found an article on the process. Yikes. Anyone done this...

    65/66 New Seat Covers, with Headrests, at VA Mustang?

    Anyone see the new 65/66 seat covers, with head rests, in VA Mustang's sale flyer? (no link that I can find) They look to have more support than the normal ones and offer a head rest. Anyone have these? Opinions? --P

    I think this will buff right out

    And if that tree were to fall over, and no one was there to hear it, would it make a noise? What is the sound of one hand clapping? Why don't motorcycles have doors? Why do we park on a driveway and drive on a parkway? . . . . . . . . . . . .

    I think this will buff right out

    Maybe the tree comes with it--a little lagniappe for the next owner. :shrug:

    Teflon Tape on MC Fittings?

    Hmmmmmm. I wonder. . . . That is one that I never thought of! Any trick to removing these lines? The fitting at the adjuster for the rear brakes doesn't look like it has budged in 30 years. I used a line wrench (flared wrench) to get the ones off of the old MC and had to use more force...

    Teflon Tape on MC Fittings?

    Good to know. I have the reducers for flared ends, so I'll tighten some more. The flares held on the the fruit jar MC, so I assumed they'd be ok on the new one. (I reused the existing steel lines from the old one.) When you replace the MC, should you reflare? --Paul PS I hadn't...

    Teflon Tape on MC Fittings?

    Hi all-- Got the MC swapped out for a two chamber. Had to get some reducers--Thanks O'Reilly Autoparts!--and now I have a tiny seep on from one of the reducers. Should I use teflon tape on the threads? I seem to remember that fuel lines and teflon tape don't mix, but what about brake...
