    Part Number

    Hey all-- I'm chasing a locking glove box latch for my 66 Mustang. Anyone know the part number? The number I have starts C4D. . . which would be for the 64 model year, not the 66. Thanks! --Paul

    Is this car really worth this much?

    If you put a reserve on it, your ebay fees are more, no? Still, overpriced or not, it is one hell of a clean car.

    66 Single to Dual MC Plumbing Question

    Hi all-- I've been doing some reading on the (suicide) single to double Master Cylinder setup. I have a few questions before I attempt this. I have a double MC already that should drop right in. :rolleyes: I have one line that comes to a T and splits--I assume this is the front discs. I...

    Gas tank barrier?

    I WAS hit hard enough from behind to total our first mustang. Full tank of gas, plowed into by a dodge ram van. Knocked my seat out of the track, banged me up pretty badly. Pushed the passenger side of the car ahead of the driver's side by about 1.5 inches. I got POPPED. Didn't leak a...

    What IS that thing?

    I haven't had to lash pontoons to the mustang to get home yet, but it's been close! I learned early that when they put up the signs that say STANDING WATER ON ROADWAY that aren't kidding. Saw an RX-7 flood out in one "puddle" one time up in Natchitoches. He made it half-way until the wake his...

    What IS that thing?

    Hi all-- Greasing the 'stang this AM and when I slid to the back to do the U-Joints, I saw a rubber tube coming off of the driver's side of my back axel, about half-way down the axel. The tube was rotten through, so I cut off the bad part and slid some good hose over the fitting and clamped...

    Considering purchase - advice needed

    I'd also check bottoms of the doors, behind each wheel and the floor pans for rust, too. If the cowl is shot, the floors follow suite pretty quickly. BTW, there is over 180 spotwelds that have to be drilled out to get to the cowl. No joke. Bad cowl, walk right on past. If you are...

    Lets talk mufflers....

    Rust--If memory serves, and it rarely does, that dyna mat stuff is pretty pricey. Still, it might be worth it for sound and heat reduction. :shrug:

    Turn a 65 Coupe into a Fastback?

    Depends. If you go into it knowing you are going to sell it, you can make a little money off of a car. Where people lose their pants is when they decide to go all out, get bored/tired/broke and then try to sell it and "get their money back." That doesn't happen. I could never get what I have...

    Lets talk mufflers....

    Go figure on this, but I got my mufflers from Midas. I just cut off the resonators and I have a nice deep gurgle that isn't mind numbing. I'd say gauge your sound on your driving habits. Mine is a daily, so I don't want to sound like a Cessna when I pull into the parking lot. YMMV.

    Turn a 65 Coupe into a Fastback?

    When we lost our first mustang--Caspian Blue 65 coupe--to a rear-ending by a Dodge Ram Van, we got the car in the insurance settlement. Stripped it and kept what we needed. Sold the shell to a guy who cut it in half and turned it into a fastback. (This was in 1985.) It looked like ****. I...

    Manual Steering a Power Box

    Keep the receipt and if it dies again, take it back to ANOTHER Advance Auto. Or, go back to the jerk store and ask for the district rep's name and number. That usually makes them play ball. I've had pumps go out, and I replaced my 66 AC-setup pump with an Advance Auto 67 pump. (It works...

    Bonding Plastic?

    Hi all--I have a piece of my console that I need to put back---part of the "rim" that holds the ashtray. What can I use to put this chunk back? It is hidden, so pretty ain't necessary, but it does need to be sturdy.

    gas tank size

    If you want a couple more gallons, you can run some of the bigger tanks, just make sure to swap the sender, too.

    attatching mechanical gauges

    AH! A T to instal BOTH. Put a C on my head for clueless. :bang: Is there enough room up there for both? As for the thermo housing with the threaded hole, where did you get yours? Mechanical gauges are more manly. I plan to get one of those Calvins peeing on a chevy bowtie to offset my...

    attatching mechanical gauges

    Crush--Just tap the aftermarket gauge into the wiring from the sender to the new gauge? Will the new gauge get a correct signal off of the Ford sender? I like the idea of adding new gauges to an old instrument cluster, but that is too much wiring/electrical work for me. Electricity is the...

    JME GAUGES N BEZELS

    I hit send too soon. Another question on senders. Can you reuse any of the Ford senders with the aftermarket gauges--fuel, especially. Voltage, oil and coolant I could handle. . . . --P

    JME GAUGES N BEZELS

    347--I'm confused. Is that a homemade one or one of the prefabs? That looks REALLY good--what I'd like to do with mine, but I'd go black gauages. Anyway, that is almost exactly what I'd like to do. Thanks! --Paul
