    Any progess? Im in the same kinda situation and ran into this... My car would only idle at fully advaned timing. Meaning the radiator hose wouldnt let it go further. The guy who runs the garage where I keep it had me move every plug wire on the cap over one position, thus retarding it however...

    How do you jump the neutral safety switch??

    Ill give that a try but I dont think my b/u lights work. So you adjust the linkage on the nut in the center. That would make sense. I thought the half moon assembly rotated... Thanks.:flag:

    OK, troubleshot a little before I tried the jumper and I tried it in neutral and then held then switch to start while slowly putting it in gear. I heard a thump so let off and put in neutral and it started up!! Then I tried it in Park and it started up there too!! So do I still have a bad...

    How do you jump the neutral safety switch??

    looking for quick help please - engine won't crank

    Hey man, I have this same issue. Try tightening down the nuts on the connections at the starter. If you have a circuit tester, you can see which leads at the solenoid are getting power when the key is on/start. could have those mixed up. The tester also works on the ignition switch if you...

    starting up for the first time...

    Hey, Im a little confused. The assembly manual I have says the "brown" wire goes on the left (s) terminal and the red w/ blue stripe goes on the right (I). When I turn the key, the black has power in acc and start. The red only in start. The bigger issue is they only have power at all...

    Thanks for the input, thats what i was afraid of. Its just a small private shop in a small town. Guy seems nice and has a good reputation so I dont want to put his name out there in a negative way. Ill let you know how it turns out though.

    06 mufflers, sacralidge?

    I thought he said they were behind the axle which sounded weird. I dont know how he proposed to get the tip on there. Anyway I dont think Ill pursue it any further. Probably just stick with the dumpy sounding ones. :)

    Won't start

    I just had the same issue a few posts down. For me, the timing marks lined up but it was TDC for the wrong stroke. Try rotating your distributor 180 degrees.

    Rewiring my 69-suggestions welcome

    Hey, I had a 70 that was cut off at the firewall. Everything under the hood I got from NPD and it was only about $100. The underdash I got off Ebay. Had to fight a couple times but finaly got one for ~ $130. They pop up rather frequently I think. The only other thing I can think of is be...

    06 mufflers, sacralidge?

    Im not sure exactly he just said 06 mustang GT. The difference in price wasnt that much. I think he said $350 vs $400. thats with everything from the headers back including hangers et al. He did say they were quieter wich isnt exactly a selling point for me. I think it sounds fine now with...

    starting up for the first time...

    great news! The piston was at top dead center but for the wrong stroke. Basically I just rotated the dist 180 degs. and it started right up! A little adjustment of the carb to get it to idle and its doing great. Still cant start it with the key though. My underdash harness is new but the...

    belt slap?

    After the first engine start, the 30 minute cam break-in, I added some power steering fluid and turned the wheel a bit and I can feel the assisting but the belt starts flopping around a good bit. Is this just a tightening down job or is there something wrong??
