    Manual Steering...go for it? Leave power?

    So i have a 65 fastback, 302, with original type power steering (and a quick steer box). I am redoing the engine and engine compartment. I am at a point right now where i can easily take the power steering out all together and put a manual steering kit in. The primary reason for taking the power...

    do not use synthetic oil

    so you don't think synthetic works..........i'm sure you read.....like all the others before me, you should read scientific findings performed by chemical engineers upon synthetic versus conventional oil. I have a roller 5.0 (306cid), i broke it in with Castrol 20W-50 for the first 1K miles...

    Aluminum Radiator...who to contact?

    How to pull a stock distributor???

    My brothers 66 mustang has a stock 289 motor with a stock distributor I was going to replace. I tried the other day and was foiled. I took off the distributor cap and the bolt anchoring the distributor to the block. It pulled out literally about 1", then it stopped like it was hitting something...

    Who Sells Performance Pads of Granada Discs'?

    Well, I drive really carefully on the street (ie: don't tailgatge and don't fly around) unless I'm really instigated. So having pads that take a little heating up to be effective is permissible. I am looking for pads mainly suited to auto-x and a little road racing. However, I don't want...

    Aluminum 460 block prep and price?

    I am starting some relatively short term planning of a conceptually applicable millennium machine. The cruxes of my project will revolve around this, M-6010-A96. An aluminum 460 siamese bore block. I will be getting in touch with Raceparts Distribution in a week, but I wanted to know if you guys...

    who makes long tubes to go around an AOD in a classic?

    Like reenmachine said, don't be so sure. I don't know why certain companies have such a hard time properly rigging up and producing accurate headers sometimes. I used the hedman Elite's on my 65 mustang (302), I had to cut and re-weld part of a primary on the passenger side to get it to fit and...

    PA Trans. AOD's, what are your thoughts?

    I am currently running a C-4 in my 65 Fastback and I've always toyed with the idea of putting an AOD or manual 5 speed in. But since i'm on a college student, my budget options are limited. I've been reading up on Performance Automatics Super Street AOD. For the Summit price of $1219 it sounds...

    PA Transmissions, who likes their Street AOD?

    I was trying to figure out which forum to post this on and figured you guys are the predominant users of AOD's. Anyway I currently have a C-4 in my 65 Fastback and I've always toyed with the idea of putting an AOD or manual 5 speed in. But since i'm on a college student, my budget options are...

    Scared the pants off Honda's Finest

    After filling up the gas tank and watching the summer gas prices sore the other day, I swore I'd baby the mustang around as much as possible. Well I did excellent for a day and a half. I drove a good 20 minutes with out so much as a urge to push the gas past 1/2 tonight. I get off the freeway...

    The younger generation has no clue about cars.......

    Damn, so many people have responded to this letter already that I really don't want to put my two cents in and sound redundant.......Oh well. I'm 21. At 15 I bought my fastback. Before i turned 16 I rebuilt the entire suspension system. Since the age of 16 I've been hanging out with CART...

    Removing windshield wiper knob??

    Right in the middle of this crappy weather my windshield wiper "on/off" knob decides to strip itself. Now, anytime the ignition is RUN position, the wiper motor turns on, and the interior Knob can be moved back and forth freely without making contact with anything. I've read the Haynes manual...

    Backfiring at certain RPM on rev decline???

    Well i've noticed this started during the last hot laps of an auto-x event, and it is much more prominent and frequent when I'm open header. Say for instance i'm in gear (doesn't matter which, just any) i can floor it to redline without any hiccups (sounds and pulls nicely), BUT if i get off it...

    Best Looking Mustang (non stock) Pics

    -He cleaned up the front end as much as possible, and the rear quarters were slightly flaired, that might be why the picture looks off. The wheels are 15x7 front and 15x10 rear. But i've seen this thing in person and have video of it, it's a bad ass ride. The color scheme continues into the...
